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

Alright, here goes nothing. So, Monopoly Go decided it’s time to toss us back into the throes of sitcom nostalgia — you know, those family feuds over the board game where your sibling “accidentally” knocked over the board? Yeah, they’ve rolled out this ad campaign called The Dice Life. And guess who’s back? Yup, Will Ferrell. He’s doing his thing, giving voice to Mr. Monopoly with all sorts of 90s TV quirks. Weirdly comforting, right?

And then, I stumbled onto something. There’s this whole deal about enabling cookies — no idea why that’s important right now, but it’s stuck in my head. Anyway, this whole campaign is a brainchild of Omelet, this creative agency. They’ve teamed up with Scopely, the folks behind Monopoly Go, to craft what’s basically a love letter to sitcoms of the past. Pardon me if I got a bit sidetracked there.

Now, maybe you’re like “Hey, I know that face!” — and you’d be right. Jake Johnson from New Girl and Sunita Mani from Glow star in these ads. It’s like a kaleidoscope of board game drama wrapped in nostalgia — they’ve captured those family game night vibes perfectly.

Ah, there’s a video here too. But again with the cookie thing — seriously, why is it haunting me?

Meanwhile, Monopoly Go isn’t just sitting back. Nope, they’re busy mixing it up with Marvel — The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie is set to collide with the game come July 13. Can you imagine? All those iconic Marvel characters mingling with mini-games and whatnot — I’m kind of curious about the new Partners Event they’ve got lined up.

But what’s up with the Treasures Event? They just wrapped one at June’s end, and now we’re on standby for the next one. Whew, a bit dizzying.

Anyway, if you’re looking for the latest freebies, there are those Monopoly Go Dice Links floating around for July. So, gear up, roll those dice, and maybe avoid flipping the board this time. Or don’t. Whatever vibes with the nostalgia.
