Kathryn Hahn and Derrick Henry are already shaking up San Francisco, two weeks ahead of the Big Game.
The Baltimore Ravens running back and The Studio star star in Oikos’ Super Bowl 2026 advertisement, which was revealed on Thursday, Jan. 29.
Aptly titled “The Big Hill,” the 30-second commercial starts with the comedian and athlete sitting side-by-side on a classic San Francisco trolley before the cable car screeches to a halt.

“Sorry, folks. We’re stuck. Tour’s over,” the conductor announces and the 32-year-old sadly responds, “It’s over?”
“Here,” Hahn, 52, demands, putting her bottled protein shake into Henry’s hands. “Hold my Oikos.”
The Bad Moms actor hops off the trolley and pushes it up the hill, grunting and gaining speed until she hoists it over one of the city’s iconically steep and hilly roads. Her strength catapults Henry into a fellow passenger, an older woman who turns to him and says, “Oh, hey there, big fella.”

The trolley flies ahead of the actress, who then remembers her drink and shouts, “My Oikos!”
Henry throws the drink like a football and it spirals into the air and right in Hahn’s arms. She proudly holds the drink in the air with an accomplished sigh.
“Oikos is packed with complete protein to help build strong muscles,” a voiceover says as the commercial concludes.
The spot will air ahead of halftime during the Big Game on Sunday, Feb. 8.
Other Super Bowl commercials are starting to drop as Super Bowl LX approaches.
Pepsi released its ad on Jan. 29 and it takes a swing at a fellow soda brand. The ad, titled “The Choice,” follows a polar bear (Coca-Cola has featured its own polar bear mascots in the brand’s advertising over the years) who takes the Pepsi Challenge. The bear is surprised to learn he preferred Pepsi Zero Sugar to Coke Zero Sugar in a blindfolded taste test.
The bear then embarks on “a journey of self-discovery,” according to a press release, as he embraces “his newfound identity as a Pepsi lover.” Taika Waititi, who directed the spot, even steps in as a therapist and asks the bear, “Tell me about your mother.”
The Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots are facing off in the 2026 Super Bowl, airing on NBC on Sunday, Feb. 8.
