This short from San Francisco based Two Trick Pony is great for a quick laugh and a trip down memory lane.  It features just two main characters and takes a while for the dialogue to flow, but once it does, it’s quick, witty and most importantly funny!

In just over 5 minutes we see a nervous board game designer pitching his idea to his boss, who is instantly recognisable to the viewer as the Monopoly Man.

The following interaction between designer and boss takes the viewer on a journey through a lot of the games they may have played as children.  Guaranteeing a few ‘I remember that’s a long the way!  Only at the end of the video do we realise that we actually know very little about the designer’s board game, which makes the ending all the funnier.

With brilliant actors and obvious chemistry, the characters really come alive.  Along with great camera work and attention to detail, you have a winning combination.

This short will have you laughing, reaching for your old Monopoly board and warming to men with ridiculous moustaches even when it isn’t Movember. #Win.

The film is here to watch.
