Not exactly the same but feels like Simpsons already did it. 
By the same creator, "this ham gum is mostly bones!"
"Monopoly" as "one of [the] world's greatest games." That's enough right there to tell you that civilization jumped the shark decades ago.
I thought it couldn't get lower than Curb Your Enthusiasm Monopoly.
Yes, it's real. They found a way to take everything good and funny out of that show and squeeze it out and put the rest down as a board game.
would you believe that the original rules and board were a waring against capitalism. Until capitalism got a hold of it.

The irony, right?
I bought Anti-Monopoly for my nephew, which is actually lot of fun. My nephew plays as the monopolist because of the higher rents you get, yet I always beat him as a Competitor (he wipes the floor with me in normal Monopoly though).
It always makes me cringe when I see how commercialised Monopoly is. Like, do they honestly not see the irony?
How did they not name this 'Scrabopoly'?
Monopoble
You rolled snake...in the kitchen.
If you want a wtf combination of board games, I recommend Tetris Jenga.
At least that kind of makes some sense. It looks needlessly difficult, but you can at least see how someone who isn't certifiably insane would mash those two games up.
That looks kinda cool, although it does irk me that the pieces seem to not all be tetracubes.
"Are you happy? Is your family living in peace and harmony?! Shake things up a bit!"
I'll never stop blaming that goddamn lungfish that crawled out of the ocean a billion years ago. Fucker.
Everything Monopoly touches is tainted.
This adds an entirely new strategy to the game, because you can try to construct words that add up to the number of spaces you want to go, almost completely eliminating the random chance aspect of monopoly that's so frustrating.
But then why would anyone land on a property on which they'd have to pay you rent...
The words you can choose from are limited by the letters available. Presumably you might be forced into landing on someone else's property.
There are a lot of words, man. Like way more than you or I even know...there are over 100,000 in the Official Scrabble Dictionary™. Except maybe with the strangest hands, you'll have a ton of different scoring words available to you, given there are hundreds of two letters words
