An old gray-haired man in a dark suit, seen from behind, points dramatically across a table at a brown-haired man in a green shirt who stands shielding a red-haired woman in a pink top. A Monopoly board sits on the table between them. The old man demands, "NOW, HAND OVER THE GIRL!" The green-shirt man protests, "THAT WAS NEVER PART OF THE DEAL!" The old man replies coldly, "I AM MAKING IT PART OF THE DEAL." A caption below reads: "In retrospect, the Monopoly game had gotten a bit out of hand." The joke: an ordinary board game has escalated into a melodramatic hostage standoff. Votey: a parody movie poster in white text on black, styled like a film promo, reading "MONOPOLY" with the tagline "YOU WILL NOT PASS GO" and "IN THEATRES THIS FALL."
