Super Bowl Sunday is obviously all about the NFL, but of course, college football couldn’t help but creep in with a joke — this one at the expense of Hellmann’s When Harry Met Sally-inspired ad for the 2025 Super Bowl.
In the Super Bowl spot, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan are sitting down at the famous Katz’s Deli, as USA TODAY’s Ad Meter noted, recreating the iconic scene from their 1989 romantic comedy where Sally (Ryan) proves to Harry (Crystal) that women fake orgasms by, well, faking one.
In the movie, the scene ends with director Rob Reiner’s mother, Estelle Reiner, saying the famous line: “I’ll have what she’s having.”

For the 2025 Super Bowl ad, Crystal and Ryan are in their same places, and Ryan has the same reaction as in the movie after taking a bite of a sandwich with the advertiser’s brand of mayo.
Unsurprisingly, the Twitter account for the Duke’s Mayo Bowl — a beloved bowl among college football fans — had something to say about that, cracking a joke about Ryan faking it.
With Duke’s you don’t have to fake it… @dukes_mayonnaise https://t.co/Gp3CvunzMU
