“When Harry Met Sally” stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan reunited to recreate one of the most unforgettable scenes in movie history from their 1989 romantic comedy for a Super Bowl LIX ad.
In the clip posted on Wednesday on X, the two movie stars headed back to the famous deli in New York City to reprise their roles in the film as Harry Burns and Sally Albright to shoot the ad for Hellman’s mayonnaise that will air during the upcoming Super Bowl in New Orleans on February 9.
The ad opens with a shot of the busy New York deli where Ryan once again is seated at the same table across from Crystal where the memorable comedy scene was shot 35 years ago, when the two discuss the idea of “women faking orgasms” and Ryan’s character proves how one could possibly accomplish such task.

In the new video, Harry tells Sally, “I can’t believe they let us back in this place.”
“Why?” Sally asks, to which he replies, “Hello …”
“Nobody remembers that,” Sally then insists.
Sally then takes a bite of her sandwich and said, “it’s not doing it, nothing,” before she picks up the Hellmann’s mayo on the table and spreads it on the bread. She then takes another bite.
“What’s happening?” Harry asks. “Here we go,” he adds as Sally continues to enjoy her sandwich, resulting at one point, in her slapping the table and yelling, “Yes.”
Crystal’s character then quips, “So, this one’s real.”
The scene closes with a recreation of a cameo featuring actress Sydney Sweeney giving the famous line, originally spoken by director Rob Reiner’s mom, Estelle Reiner, in the deli scene in the 1989 movie.
“I’ll have what she’s having,” Sweeney said.
Speaking to People magazine about working on the project with Ryan, Crystal said, “It was a really fun idea, and the approach was right. It was our 35th anniversary of the film, and it’s the first time that we’ve been offered something like that.”
Ryan agreed and said, “They [Hellman’s] were so respectful of the movie and of the scene too. They came to us with just an enormous amount of respect for that, for the source material and for the characters.”
