Meeee-ow! The claws are out in Hellmann’s Super Bowl advert, which options Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon and an lovable feline appropriately named Mayo Cat.
The spot, which debuted Tuesday (Jan. 30), kicks off with the cat-loving comic making an attempt to determine what to do together with her leftovers of hen, scallions and a block of cheese. “What am I gonna make with these?!” the actress wonders.
That’s when inspiration — a nod at Hellmann’s food-waste discount marketing campaign “Make Taste Not Waste” — from her furry companion strikes. “May-ow!” the tremendous fluffy feline meows adorably.
“Mayo …,” McKinnon slowly repeats earlier than she turns to see a large jar of mayonnaise prepared and ready in her fridge. “Hellmann’s … Holy [censored], you can talk!”
From there, it’s a whirlwind for the SNL alum and her kitty as they make the rounds on morning discuss reveals, guide signings, picture shoots and extra, earlier than Mayo Cat lands a very high-profile pairing: a relationship with one other former SNL forged member by the title of Pete Davidson.
The two go red-carpet official as paps go loopy over the brand new pair, with one photographer even asking if “it’s serious.” Davidson’s response? A sly nod and smile. But like most of the King of Staten Island‘s relationships, this one was just as short-lived. (Remember his five-month romance with Ariana Grande, during which time they were even more briefly engaged?) By the next scene, Davidson and Mayo Cat’s cut up (she dumped him!) was splashed on the duvet of People.
“You lasted longer than most!” McKinnon consoles her feline pal.
