Will Ferrell Returns as Mr. Monopoly in Nostalgic 90s TV Sitcom-Inspired Monopoly Go Ad

Alright, so here’s the thing about Monopoly Go’s latest ad gig—or, like, campaign or whatever they’re calling it. They’ve dubbed it “The Dice Life,” which honestly feels like something I would’ve come up with on a caffeine binge in the 90s. It’s all about those old-school sitcom vibes, you know?

Anyway, Will Ferrell’s in on it. Yep, he’s Mister Monopoly himself, taking us through these skits that scream “90s TV.” Can we just pause to appreciate that for a sec? Wild.

So, I read somewhere—I think it was The Drum?—that this whole thing is a brainchild of Omelet, the creative folks, and they’ve teamed up with Scopely, the big brains behind Monopoly Go. Imagine mixing nostalgia with board game chaos, and then adding a theme song that feels like it’s straight outta your old TV set.

Oh, and speaking of faces you might recognize, Jake Johnson and Sunita Mani pop in. I mean, it’s like they dug them out of some dusty sitcom rerun or something. Short and sweet, like when you’re mid-dinner and Monopoly tensions peak. We’ve all been there, right?

Okay, but Monopoly Go is not just resting on its dice here. Nope, they’re jumping headfirst—kind of like how you can’t wait to buy Park Place—into some Marvel action. Like, I read they’re doing this whole shebang with The Fantastic Four? It’s happening July 13, just around the corner. So, you know, get ready for heroes in Monopoly land, with mini-games and events. Collectibles too, because why not?

But hey, here’s an unanswered mystery for you: When’s the next Treasures Event happening? Last one was in June, so I guess we’re on standby. Tick-tock, guys.

For those needing a little boost in the game, there are these free Dice Links floating around out there—July’s ones, to be exact. Might wanna hunt those down if you’re in the mood for some extra rolls.

So, yeah, that’s the chaotic, colorful world of Monopoly Go right now. Quite the summer, huh?
