Comedian Amy Schumer stars in Hellmann’s first Super Bowl ad, which features the comedic actress as a Fairy Godmayo who transforms potential food waste into a bountiful banquet.

Supernatural elements aside, the ad centers on a relatable premise: A man opens his fridge to find a variety of leftovers and other random items, unsure what to do with the hodgepodge of miscellany and obscure food items. “What even is an artichoke?” he asks.

It seems that the secret to giving leftovers a second life is mayonnaise, as Schumer reaches for the Hellmann’s and waves her butter knife wand to instantly transform the items into an impressive array of snacks, including artichoke dip, deviled eggs and cake.
