I have to come to the defence of "juiced", which is an enf commercial that I really loved the first time I saw it, and remains one of my favorites to this very day.
I personally didn't have a problem with the actress' performance in it. It was a little underplayed, I'll admit, but she hits the highlights: She gasps, her eyes widen, tries to cover up. The fact that she doesn't do a very good job of this through most of the commercial is a plus for me, but I'm more than happy to suspend disbelief for a decent look at the goodies. And since it's a commercial about a woman being stripped by a magic video game, I'm halfway there anyway.
There are bits that I found funny that others might find bothersome. Like just after they've shortened her skirt and made her boobs bounce around, but before they make her shirt vanish, It almost looks like she's completely forgotten what's just happened and has gone back to waiting for the bus. It was probably just bad acting, but it makes me chuckle every time.
I do see what the "juiced" detractors are saying about the modelesque appearance of the girl in the commercial, and how if your thing is more of a verite approach to the subject it might bother you. But I personally wasn't bothered by it, mainly because they at least had the inclination to dress her fairly conservatively at the beginning of the piece. She might look like she could be on the cover of maxim, but she's not dressed like she is. To me she looks like any number of pretty girls you might see in the course of a day.
It does have its flaws, the commercial is short. Since it looks like it was designed for the internet, they could have made it a little longer and drawn the scenario out a bit. I would have liked the girl to have a few more layers of clothes to go through before she was denuded. And the editing is a slightly more controlled version of the usual spastic music video junk that I have to put up with in everything I watch these days. Blame the marketing department for that one, it's a video game commercial aimed at my demographic, 18-35, and according to them apparently I like that kind of thing.
I guess the main reason I give it a pass, and actually really like it, is that it represents a style of enf that has a strong element of fantasy. The stuff that I loved originally: "Zapped", certain bits of "Benny Hill" and "Bizarre", That bit at the end of "Invisible Maniac" with the news lady, was getting to see a situation that couldn't possibly happen in real life.
I realise that there's probably too large a gulf between the two schools of thought about enf for there to be any common ground. But I thought it was important to let people know, particularly anyone who is or is thinking about producing this kind of material, that realistic enf is great, but there's a place for the surreal stuff too.
