Will Ferrell Revives Mr. Monopoly in a 90s Sitcom-Inspired Monopoly Go Ad

Oh man, where do I even start with this? Monopoly Go is apparently trying to dive headfirst into our nostalgic feels with this new ad thing they’re calling The Dice Life. Like, remember those wild family game nights that always seemed to end in someone flipping the board? Yep, they’re bringing that vibe back, but with TV sitcom flavor.

And guess who’s at the helm? Will Ferrell! I mean, I can almost hear him as Mr. Monopoly, like, strolling through 90s TV sets making sarcastic comments. It’s kind of this mash-up of all those shows we totally binged back in the day. Nostalgia overload, right?

Also, we’ve got Jake Johnson — you know, Nick Miller from New Girl? And Sunita Mani. She’s from Glow if that rings a bell. They’re in these quick little scenes that just scream drama. You can almost feel the tension, like when someone lands on Boardwalk with a hotel. Yikes.

Now, Omelet’s the brains behind all this creative chaos. They’re partnering up with Scopely, the folks behind Monopoly Go, and they really knew how to play to our love for retro sitcoms. There’s even an original theme song. Reminds me of that Full House opening tune that just gets stuck in your head for days.

Oh, and there’s more! Monopoly Go is like, all over the place this summer. They decided it was time to buddy up with Marvel. The Fantastic Four’s coming to town — or to your phone, whatever. Starting July 13. So many crossovers, it’s hard to keep track, but hey, as long as there’s mini-games and shiny new collectibles, we’re not complaining.

Still waiting on some Monopoly Go Treasures Event news, though. Last one was end of June, and now it’s like — hello? Anyone there? Anyway, dice links are the thing now, so grab some free ones if you’re feeling lucky. Or don’t. Who even knows how these things work sometimes.

Alright, I gotta pull myself away from this rabbit hole. But seriously, this whole situation is wild, in the best kind of way.
