Watch Hollywood icons recreate legendary scene in Super Bowl ad: ‘I’ll have what she’s having’
Super Bowl commercials are known for paying homage to unforgettable moments in pop culture, and this year is no different.
Hellmann’s mayonnaise is paying homage to the 35th anniversary of the ‘80s hit rom-com “When Harry Met Sally.” The Super Bowl spot brings together Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal for that famous scene in Katz’s Deli where Ryan pretends to have an orgasm while the couple dines.
The 30-second commercial features Sally sitting across from Harry, wearing his classic cable-knit fisherman’s sweater, celebrating their anniversary over a traditional deli lunch. Sally is displeased with her turkey sandwich until she squeezes a generous dollop of Hellmann’s mayonnaise that adds “mind-blowing flavor,” prompting a passionate reaction.
Award-nominated actress and producer Sydney Sweeney takes notice and delivers the famous line, “I’ll have what she’s having.”
“Reuniting with Billy and stepping back into Sally’s shoes was a joy,” Ryan said in a press release. “I’m hoping it’ll be fun for fans to revisit this scene with its (wink, wink) new star, Hellmann’s mayo.”
“The opportunity to return to Katz’s Deli with Meg was a no-brainer,” said Crystal. “Thanks to Hellmann’s, who came up with the concept and wrote a really funny spot, we’re bringing some laughs and nostalgia and helping ‘When Harry Met Sally’ celebrate its 35th anniversary during the Big Game this year.”
