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

Okay, so here’s the thing about this new Monopoly Go ad — it’s like a blast from the past, but in a really weird and kinda fun way. Picture this: sitcoms from the 90s and those epic family feuds we all had over a board game. Yeah, that’s what they’re going for. They call this whole shebang “The Dice Life.” Pretty catchy, right?

And guess who’s back? Will Ferrell! I mean, the guy’s voicing Mr. Monopoly here, popping up in these ridiculous 90s-style TV scenes. It’s like, did the directors all binge-watch retro TV before filming this? Maybe. Or maybe they just missed that era.

Anyway — oh, and this is the kicker — Omelet, that agency, you know them, right? (Who am I kidding, I barely remember them sometimes.) They’re with Scopely on this, whipping up an ad that practically screams “We love 90s TV!” Complete with its own theme song. Yep, a full-blown nostalgia trip.

And here’s where it gets kinda star-studded: Jake Johnson shows up. Yeah, the guy from New Girl. Plus, there’s Sunita Mani from Glow. They pop in to stoke the drama for anyone who’s ever flipped the board after being sent to jail in Monopoly. Classic.

But here’s a twist — Monopoly Go isn’t just partying in the past. It’s also jumping on the Marvel bandwagon. This summer, they’re kicking things up with a Fantastic Four tie-in. Starting July 13th, it’s like, bam, superheroes meet board games. Mini-games, collectibles, events, all that jazz.

And what’s this about a Partners Event? Guess we’ll find out. Oh, and there’s buzz (or was it a whisper?) about a new Treasures Event. Last one was late June, so yeah, we’re on standby here.

Oh, before I forget — if you want those sweet free Dice Links for July, better keep your eyes peeled. It’s always the little things, right?
