Will Ferrell Returns as Mr. Monopoly in Nostalgia-Fueled 90s Sitcom-Style ‘Monopoly Go’ Ad

Man, remember those days when TV was filled with sitcoms and board games ruled family nights? Yeah, that’s what Monopoly Go is tapping into with their new ad blitz. The campaign’s got this snazzy name—The Dice Life—and it’s throwing some big names into the mix.

Right at the front—guess who’s back? Will Ferrell! Yep, he’s lending his voice to Mr. Monopoly again. The ads play off of those cheesy, yet oh-so-loveable, 90s TV show vibes. Why do those always feel like a warm hug? No idea why I noticed this, but it stuck with me—the nostalgia is thick!

So, The Drum dropped the news that Omelet’s the brain behind this clever throwback. They buddied up with Monopoly Go’s creators, Scopely, to churn out an homage to 90s sitcoms. There’s even a jingle that sounds like it jumped straight out of your dad’s old VHS collection. Anyway—wait, no—where was I? Oh yeah, the cast.

Jake Johnson from New Girl and Sunita Mani from Glow are in the ad too. It’s quick—a blink and you’ll miss it—but packed with all the drama of those heated Monopoly marathons. You know, the ones where your sibling flips the board and storms off? Classic.

And there’s more. Monopoly Go is buzzing this summer, right? They’re teaming up with Marvel again. This time, it’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie. Launch date’s July 13. Superheroes and board games colliding. It’s a world I never thought I needed.

With this, you’re getting a load of new stuff—mini-games, events, collectibles. Oh, and there’s a new Partners Event swooping in, too. Speaking of which, still got my eyes peeled for the next Treasures Event. Last month’s was end of June, and I’m like a kid waiting for Christmas.

One last thing! If you’re as hooked as I am, check out those free Monopoly Go Dice Links floating around for July. They’re a lifesaver—well, game-saver. So, roll the dice and get in on the fun.
