I love how we as a society just completely accept this tradition and worship the great Phil
We need something happy
🎉Phil is a new papa
That's a bold statement, I think that if you were being honest, nobody really apart from people that town give a damn really!!
@@euancameron4997 What'd the groundhog ever do to you bro?
To say nobody cares is a wayyy bolder statement. Also, your writing sucks.
I think if you were being honest, you'd say you love the groundhog & the tradition.
You'd see the groundhog for how adorable it really is, & you'd probably start buying groundhog themed decor for your home.
@ogsimpson3253 I think your opinion sucks, I can't believe you buy into it, how old are you, 10 years old..read her statement again( society) why would I decorate my house with any of that stuff..it kinda shows your a little sensitive to other people's opinion, that don't align with yours..suck it up buttercup!! I'm entitled to my opinion as much as you..want tissue for that issue
Phil is thinking,
"Wake me up, and you'll have six more weeks of winter"😅😅😅
LOL 🤣🤣
😂😂😂 2:56
lolll
Wood Chucks are nasty this one must be sedated.
Lol😂😂😂
Go back to bed, Phil. Thank you for your service.
Phil wants no part of this bull crap
@@yankcaptain3942
Calm down he only works once a year
😂😂
@@yankcaptain3942😂 that groundhog lives like a king. Regular doctors visits, female groundhog lust for phil. Mans got it made😊
I got to see Phil. He was out and about at a wine festival at Gobblers knob. He has the shiniest, glossiest coat youll ever see. Well fed, no question. He has a large habitat with all grounhog luxuries, and Mrs. Phil!
That's great to know!! 😆
New babies
Was this today?
@@stephenroney2366 Yes
I wonder if there are any Phil puppies?
I love this tradition no matter what Phil predicts and whether he's right or wrong.
Me to
@@lakendrastanley2384me too🦫❤️☺️
Looks fun, I'd like to make a trip to see this happen.
@ me too🦫
@@lupea8079went for the first time this year. Definitely worth it!
Phil has a better history of predicting the weather than the US Weather Service.
Actually last 10 years he’s been wrong 70%
@VandorenJackson-y3y ahh so now we know where they are getting their weather from the secret is out 😅
Check out Big AL the alligator in Beaumont, he did not eat his 🥩!
I believe the furry fellow who lives in the ground over any guy with a computer.
Phil has a better history of predicting the weather than Buckeye Chuck
"...It really fails to capture the excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather."
"It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be grey. And it's gonna last you the rest of your life."
He needs to be stopped
Cannonball, Cannonball Cannonball!! wait wrong one. How big was the Twinkie? Dang it, another wrong one! That’s the fact Jack!!
Why am I laughing hysterically? This is such a strange yet adorable tradition.
Its a silly tradition that people eat up every year. I wish we had more traditions like this, honestly
@@TearsinaVial I love towns that have dogs for mayors LMAO. We definitely need more stuff like this.
And look what else they do. Not only do they ask a furry critter the weather, but they put on nice old top hats and top coats and build a whole podium out of a fake tree log and fill it with bedding and probably snacks and theyre reading from a scroll. hahahaha Theres probably a whole planning board and a person who's job it is to keep a groundhog healthy and trained for his one day of work per year!
You sound very illegal 😂
@@DrummerJacob I know, I have always adored the top hats and coats, LOL. Seems like most US states have their own things- Ohio has the circleville pumpkin show but it's so damn lame because the town is filled with drugs. I want to go to the Barnesville pumpkin festival as I hear its better.
Towns like this make America fun.
Had the pleasure of meeting Phil at a charity do once - he was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny
The fact we have a holiday that involves harassing groundhog to predict the weather just shows how far we have come as a society. 😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a tradition since the 1800s … it’s all for fun… like Christmas presents, Halloween, Easter bunny 😊
Right!!!!😂
@bman3794, nope, It's scarry. It's how far some have regressed and continue to go backwards. 😱
@ I was being sarcastic.
@ I get it. But I ...wasn't
I feel like I could watch this very day over and over again for the next couple decades.
Boy have I got a movie for you
Oh my goodness ! He is so cute! It's like he knew this moment was all about him! 6 more weeks in his warm home!
I love how this tradition is still going, thank you Phil for your judgment
Imagine if aliens landed and we had to tell them that we rely on a groundhog for the weather.
30% accuracy rate Phil. Me thinks he's often 100% right - he just tells us the wrong thing because he's still half asleep and irked at being awakened so rudely.
Phil has seen his shadow! From the Groundhog himself, the cold weather will remain for the rest of February. Long live Punxsutawney Phil!
In the 10 annual predictions from 2013 to 2022, Punxsutawney Phil was less accurate with his weather predications than flipping a coin would have been... I don't listen to an overgrown rat for weather predictions, nor should you..
“There is no way that this winter is *ever* going to end as long as this groundhog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any other way out. He's gotta be stopped. And I have to stop him.”
Phil said why are you guys all outside my home let me sleep
No he didn't.
The groundhog literally never said that.
@@ogsimpson3253it’s a joke omg😂😂
@@UnKnOwN_jAyDeNWhere's the joke at?
That poem was 🔥. Ai cant touch the prognosticator of all prognosticators.❤
Poor Phil bothering him sleeping 💤 he is cute 🥰 look at his eyes 👀👁️👁️
Phil's the cutest ♥ He also looks a lil like a sloth.
I love Winter! Thank you Phil! You’re a swell fellow!
After being an avid watcher for the last 8 years, I finally got to go for my first time this year! It was awesome and I’m definitely going back
We were there for the first time also!
@ what’d you think of it? Personally I loved the experience
@kjl4983 I enjoyed it and had a fun time! I would do it again for sure. Only down side was waiting 2 hours to get on the bus when it was over. That was messed up! Other than that no complaints!
I am 100% a firm believer in the science behind Groundhogs Day.
@@zudemaster is that the same as Fauci Science..😉😜😂
Check out Big AL in Beaumont, he did not eat his 🥩!
Happy Birthday to everyone lucky enough to be born today! Many happy returns of the day!
Happy Birthday 😊😊
My birthday was yesterday.
Thank you!
It's My mom's birthday today.. 😢 Happy Birthday Mom. 😢
Happy Birthday!🎉🎩🎇🎆🥳
I love , how as a country, we can come together on one thing. Listening to the weather predictions of a rodent.❤😂
Aww, give the adorable little fellow a carrot and let him go back to bed!
So it's Groundhog Day..... Again.....
And again.... and again
Where's Bill Murray?
And again
😂 honestly Bill murrays Groundhog day is a magical film. I will forever look to phil for the winter prognostication of winter longevity
This town’s entire economy is based on today, isn’t it?
Reminds me of Brasstown, NC where they do a possum drop for New Year’s. It’s a big deal to them.
Yeah pretty much
Thanks for the SPOILER in the headline!
Wow, the groundhog was particularly cute this year.
I love Phil and look forward to seeing him every year!!!!❤️❤️❤️
GOD BLESS YOU PHIL GROUNDHOG 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That guy holding squishy Phil has the best job ☺
The groundhog must be like "Am I god?"
The best celebration I have seen to date... great rhyme for the time!
Thank you for covering this story today!
Fun fact: The time between Groundhog Day to the first day of spring (March 20th) is always roughly 6 weeks apart. You don’t need a rodent to tell you that.
I wonder if Phil is like
“THIS IS TORTUREEEEE, PLLEASEE GET HELPPPPPP”
or
“HEHEHEHEHAW I LOVE IT HERE>:3”
Thank you Phil
Phil for president, between trump and biden, I'd rather have the groundhog as president.
So true 👑
phil is f'ing legendary
I'd figured that because it's been so cold this winter!
Yeah, well with the temps being up & down where I’m at, we’ll just have to see where things land in the next week or so to see if he’s actually “ right “
@@christinajohnson6598 We do not question the groundhog!
We’ve had some cold days here in Illinois but not the winter we all remember. One big snow storm 2 inches of snow. It was 65 yesterday and 35 today. Our forecast shows mid 40’s all next week. I think he’s wrong
@@cleanearth6238 'cleanearth' Somebody needs to clean up their attitude as well lol.
Thank you Phil, see you in the spring 🎉
Love this tradition!
My son and I stopped by in the summer of 2023. They were having their town carnival. We got to feed Phil. He had a beautiful home with his wife. He is the best cared for rodent in the world. What is strange are the adult men who are obsessed with this animal. Nice place to visit and cross it off your bucket list.
Lets go phill thank you summer sucks and it’s too long anyway let us enjoy winter ❄️☃️
That poor groundhog. I was born and raised in Punxsutawney. It was and still is a beautiful place. I recognize some of the men in this video. The groundhogs are well taken care of by someone who visits regularly from the Pittsburgh zoo. Since there are so many cameras he will see his shadow.❤
Phil looks like he's had enough of this crap when is he going to retire and move to the Villages 😉🦔
Ba ha ha😂😂😂😂
The concept of Groundhog Day and this theatrical tradition of it is so absolutely wholesome like ???
At the same time I also feel bad for Phil lmao he’s woken up to all these humans hooting and hollering at him he’s prob so confused like wtf is going on 😭
"Don't drive angry! Don't drive angry!"
I love how Phil was looking at the scroll ❤️❤️ he’s so cute it just made me emotional lol
Phil is soooo CUTE
Phil has less than a 40% accuracy rate.
Heck yeah! Thank you Mr Groundhog! My winter beats all of your summer! Hahahaa!! I hate the sun! I win! I win!
No wonder why Phil always wants to sleep 6 more weeks
As an American who lives in England, explaining to my British family that we snatch a large rodent out of a hole and base the next 6 weeks weather forecasts on whether or not it sees it's own shadow, is quite a trip
He has not "emerged" from his burrow. He was aggressively PULLED from his burrow. Punxsutawney Phil is terrified poor thing. He is thinking "these creatures are weird. I just want to sleep"
PHIL’S like, stop tugging!! Leave me the phuk alone!!
When it’s early spring I’m like yess and when it’s more winter I’m like noooooo😂😂
man i love america
Thank God, I hate summer in the Southwest 🥵🥵
Well, hate to break it to ya, but those six weeks will soon be over. Think about it, it's already the second day of February, February for crying out loud. Yeah, enjoy it while it lasts because it won't be for long lol.
No, he saw his shadow. I don’t want to be cold in this winter for six weeks 😢😢😢
Greetings from Goochland Virginia! Goochie the Goochland Groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter too. She wants to sleep in and we want more snow days!
I love this day. Watch the movie and relax . Have a nice day everyone and Happy Groundhogs day
i love this tradition😍Phil is so cute
If that old guy at the end of my block is out raking his yard is our local forecaster. His knees never lie about low pressure storms coming either….😅
If they don’t leave that ground hog ALONE!! lol
The weirdest tradition 😂❤
I wanted summer so bad
Love they continue this tradition ❤
Definitely one of our most insane traditions!😂
How can he see his shadow when it's not even daylight yet?
This is what I want to know 😩I don’t believe in it, if he sees it, he sees it, if he doesn’t he doesn’t; 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring it doesn’t matter, I’m over it anyway 🤷🏾♀️
And do they know he can even comprehend what a shadow is? 😭I bugged my teacher for days about this when I was in second grade saying it just didn’t make sense, and I still don’t understand it.
It seems they must make it up-the guy in the back held the sign up before the scroll was read lol
@@christinajohnson6598 THIS ! I SWEAR
Trickery from Jack Frost
The groundhog when the guy was holding him up had the look of I have no idea what is going on
6 mote weeks of cold wet winter. Phil saw his shadow. 😢
This is like the last vestiges of reading the entrails of a chicken to tell the future
This has to be the strangest fever dream of a tradition our country has 🤣
Phil's a part of a secret society called the Illuminati 😂
"They say we're young and we don't know"
Imagine. You're sleeping peacefully. Then there's a loud persistent knock on your door. They continue to knock.
Then your door opens, letting light in. 2 hands come inside reaching towards you and eventually grabs you and pulls you out of your warm bed.
Displaying you to a crowd of loud people and flashing lights.
It would suck as a human but must be even worse for an animal who is probably scared.
he'll be alright, he does this for a living every year and goes back to sleep after the celebration!
GOSH DARN IT. ANOTHER STINKING SHADOW?! MY FAMILY IS SUFFERING IN THIS FRIGID CONDITION! 😭😠.
What a wonderful tradition, i love it!❤❤❤❤❤
I knew a fella from Punxatawny in the
Navy when attending "F.T. C school in
Dam Neck, VA in about 1964.
Dan Ferko is the name of he.
🌞
I live in Florida so I'm good.
The NC Skunk saw his demise on HWY 9 in WNC so Spring is just around the corner.
😂😂
I feel that I have seen this day before, and before and before. Before last night. I could barely read, now I can quote Shakespeare inside out, learned to play the piano, got the equivalent knowledge to get a high school diploma with honourable mentions in maths, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, botany, geography, geology, English language and literature, history, politics, arithmetic and statistics, French, Latin, German, Spanish, art, music, home economics. I can now play the piano, harpsichord, violin, guitar, flute, clarinet, oboe, trumpet, trombone, saxophone, tuba. I’m a master at water colours, oil painting, sculpture, pottery, ice sculpture. I’ve learned all about first aid, I can dance anyone off the floor, I’ve learned to shoot like an expert sniper. Became an expert at photography, gin rummy, poker etc. that’s one 2nd February I’ll never forget. It seemed to go forever. lol.😅😊
Harold Ramis and Danny Rubin (Script) and Bill Murray & Andie MacDowell should be honorary citizens of Punxsutawney. They made a legend out of this town and tradition.
We in Europe never heard of this tradition before the film. And probably would never knew anything about it if there was no movie.
I like how they held him up like simba , and he’s looking around at the crowd like “wtf???? When did y’all get here!???” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see this in person one day
Were in for 6 more weeks of Jack Frost's winter
I want winter, it's like today is summer, no snow.
Poor confused little Critter. Wondering what all the noise is about.
Yes that what I’m saying u would think these ppl would be quiet and nice
It happens everyyear hes probably used to it by now and doesnt really bother him
@ I’m wondering if he’s a “pet” honestly
@@Heihei0227he is 😊
@Heihei0227 yes he makes appearances all year long and is kept in a very nice habitat with his wife.
Love it
Love it ….i had no idea it was a real tradition 😂…..🙌🏻🇬🇧🙌🏻👍🏻
Early spring is what I want
One of my favorite days of the year for just complete nonsense and fun! Nothing more, nothing less. The dudes with the top hats are a unique breed to say the least. Pulling this little critter out of his snug little home, and little dude is like WTH! Cracks me up every year.
It's about 65° here in the NC mtns today.
My dad always said this about Groundhog Day: if the rat sees his shadow, we'll have six more weeks of winter. If he don't see his shadow, it'll warm up in about a month and a half.😅😂🎉
I love how like the movie this scene is. Tradition is a wonderful thing!!
I'm amazed he doesn't bite someone.
