Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal recreate 'When Harry Met Sally' iconic scene

Every Super Bowl season, fans eagerly tune in—not just for the game, but for the clever, star-studded commercials that brands unveil. This year, one ad has everyone talking: a Hellmann’s mayonnaise commercial featuring none other than Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, reuniting more than 30 years after When Harry Met Sally first hit cinemas.
The commercial takes fans right back to New York City’s Katz’s Delicatessen, the setting of the film’s most famous scene. Dressed in outfits reminiscent of their original characters, Harry and Sally sit down for a meal, setting the stage for a playful reimagining.

As they settle in, Harry glances around the restaurant and quips, “I can’t believe they let us back in this place.” Sally, unfazed, responds, “Nobody remembers that.”

But history soon repeats itself—this time, over a sandwich.

After taking a bite, Sally realises something is missing. The solution? A generous dollop of Hellmann’s mayonnaise. With just one more bite, she dramatically recreates her legendary fake orgasm scene, leaving fellow diners stunned once again. Watching it unfold, Harry sighs and delivers the perfect punchline: “Here we go again.”

The ad wraps up with a surprise appearance from Sydney Sweeney who steals the moment by delivering the iconic line: “I’ll have what she’s having.”

Crystal shared with People that revisiting the scene felt like perfect timing. “It was our 35th anniversary of the film,” he said, adding that they’d never had an opportunity quite like this before. “It was a really fun idea, and the approach was right.”
