Last week, Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal teased us that they had something epic in the works, and we started to get excited.
Then, on Wednesday, we found out they recreated the fake orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally for Hellman’s Super Bowl commercial, and we were orgasmic.
Since most of us have not seen their Rom-Com in a long time, we don’t know how close that fake commercial was to the real thing.
Well, someone put the two side-by-side, and they nailed it like Sally was wishing she was getting in that scene. I am impressed!
Last week, Meg Ryan and new to Instagram, Billy Crystal posted a photo that looked like the ending of their 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally and teased that something “iconic” was in the works.
Today, we found it what it was. What is it? A Hellman’s commercial which will air during the second quarter of the Super Bowl.
In the advertisement, the actors go back to Katz’s Deli, and Ryan eats a turkey sandwich. At first, it does nothing for her. But then she adds Hellman’s mayonnaise to it, and she has another orgasm! However, unlike the last one, Crystal says, “This one’s real!”
I am surprised Hellman’s went there because I always think of them as a wholesome company! It’s nice to see they have a naughty side. Because, after all, you cannot say condiment without saying condom!
And that is why my advertising teachers told me not to go into advertising—the bad sexual jokes.
Side note: I wonder how Rob Reiner feels about Sydney Sweeney saying the line his mom did in the film he directed.
Finally, we all figured out that it was going to be a Super Bowl ad. But who did you think they were going to promote?
One more thing. Katz’s Deli teamed up with Hellman’s to release a “What She’s Having” Sandwich Package, which includes 1lb hand-carved turkey breast, half loaf deli rye bread (approx 16 slices), squeeze bottle of Hellman’s mayonnaise, 1lb Swiss cheese, 1 quart Katz’s half-sour (new) pickles, 1lb hand-carved juicy pastrami, 8oz deli mustard, and 1 old-world chocolate babka for dessert. Does it sound like something you would like to have by game day, then you need to order it by February 9th. And for $120, it’s a bargain!
In 1989, we fell in love with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan falling in love in When Harry Met Sally. Now, 35 years later, they are together again in a photo recreating the last scene in the movie with them.
The actors posted that photo on social media and wrote, “It’s finally happening, we’re reuniting for something iconic. Can’t wait to show you all soon. ”
What do you think it is? Hmmmm. I think it is going to be a commercial that will air during the Super Bowl on February 9th. But we don’t know what they are going to be advertising. However, I think we will be buying whatever they are selling.
I just want to make one comment on their reunion, and it is, “YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!”
Meg Ryan starred in some of the biggest RomComs, including When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, City of Angels, and so many more. Therefore, you can say she is the Queen of Romantic Comedies.
However, she hasn’t been in one since the beginning of the century. But after over 20 years, she signed on to do a new one with David Duchovny as her old and new love interest.
In What Happens Later, two ex-lovers, Bill (David Duchovny) and Willa (Meg Ryan) get snowed in at a regional airport overnight. Indefinitely delayed, Willa, a magical thinker, and Bill, a catastrophic one, find themselves just as attracted to and annoyed by one another as they did decades earlier. But as they unpack the riddle of their mutual past and compare their lives to the dreams they once shared, they begin to wonder if their reunion is mere coincidence, or something more enchanted.
And I am enchanted by them working together. Seriously, who else is excited to see them return to RomComs? They are both so good in this genre that it’s nice to see them finally working together.
Duchovny directs the film that comes out on Friday, the 13th of October.
