What does mom want her kids to do most this Mother’s Day?
She wants them to “do nothing”–which is your best way to stay safe during the pandemic.
And the preferred choice for doing nothing is to stay at home, plant yourself on the couch and watch TV–specifically the offerings on the Sling TV streaming service.
For this Sling commercial, The Martin Agency turned to real moms in quarantine across the country to spread a simple message–chill out and veg on TV, shelter in place to stay free of COVID-19. Moms insist. And you better listen to their rallying cry, “Do nothing for mom.”
Technically, you don’t even need to sign up with Sling TV to follow mom’s orders this year. With the streaming giant’s “Happy Hour Across America,” Sling is offering free access to its platform every night from 5pm to midnight.

Hellmann’s Super Bowl commercial “When Sally Met Hellmann’s” brings together Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan--35 years after the 1980s’ hit rom-com When Harry Met Sally, evoking timeless flavor and nostalgia with the iconic line: “I’ll have what she’s having.” Reprising their beloved roles of Harry and Sally, the duo hilariously recreates the film’s unforgettable scene in Katz’s Delicatessen, with a deliciously creamy twist, thanks to Hellmann’s mayonnaise.
The :30 commercial finds 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 adds a generous squeeze of rich and creamy Hellmann’s mayonnaise that adds mind-blowing flavor so palpable that the rest of the patrons can’t help but notice. So much so, award-nominated actress and producer, Sydney Sweeney, takes notice, delivering the famous line, “I’ll Have What She’s Having.”
This is a :60 version of the spot which was created by agency VML and directed by Jake Szymanski. (The :30 is slated to run during the second quarter of the Super Bowl.)
