Hellmann's 'Sweet Sandwich Time' Super Bowl Ad Stars Andy Samberg as 'Meal Diamond'

The fourth-quarter spot anchors a broader push featuring a Jimmy John's promotion, a NYC karaoke truck, plus an Amazon Fire TV sing-along.

Overview

  • The :30 commercial will air during the fourth quarter on Feb. 8 and reimagines Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” as “Sweet Sandwich Time.”
  • Samberg plays a Neil Diamond–inspired troubadour who sparks a deli sing-along, with Elle Fanning making a cameo as a customer.
  • Cast interviews indicate the ad was filmed at Los Angeles’ landmark Canter’s Deli.
  • Hellmann’s tie-ins include the Jimmy John’s Meal Diamond Deal running Feb. 2–22, a one-day “Sing For a Sandwich” karaoke truck in NYC on Feb. 3, and an Amazon Fire TV karaoke experience in early February.
  • This is Hellmann’s sixth consecutive Big Game appearance, with extended cuts online and a Food Recovery Network partnership to redistribute surplus food in the Bay Area.
