It’s hard out there for brands, ya know? What with the Snapchats and the Twitterses and now Facebook has done gone and introduced Facebook Live so that we are blessed with the ability to watch companies we know and "love" fail in real time. Thanks Zuckerberg.

That's where the official Monopoly Facebook page comes into play.
Someone in Monopoly’s higher ups thought that filming what is essentially a silent modern art film with giant terrifying mascots playing Hungry Hungry Hippos would be the best way to ~engage~ with its audience.

While the only literal sound you can hear is the bashing of the plastic, the real noise comes from Mr and Mrs Potato Head screaming for help through their eyes.

Watching these dead inside mascots mashing down on vibrantly coloured hippos is basically a stark reminder of how each game of Monopoly brings you closer to your end and how every minute of the Parker Brothers classic is a minute you’ll never get back.
