I Like Your Ensemble!

These ads for mobile games (that appear while I play other mobile games) continue to march across my screen. Most of them are lame or unwatchable, a few are utterly fascinating and confounding (how do I get an AI GF to be an effective dominatrix? I’m not making an in-app purchase to find out!), and another group are slightly compelling because they have the same group of actors switching roles and costumes advertising different games.

She appears as a rich or as a homeless woman, depending on the ad.
A pickpocket here, but also a deadbeat boyfriend and a rich guy dispensing links to a great money-making game.
Here a server, but also the non-speaking girlfriend of a rich guy.

It’s kinda fun to watch them switch roles, and they’re decent actors, even effectively delivering lines that seem to have been written by Chinese overlords.

The woman with the blue top and great nails is one of my favorites; she has a move and gesture in this ad which is totally controlled and thought through. Ah, to have actors like that all the time!
