#GroundHogsDay #PunxsutawneyPhil #TodayShow
Every Day Is Groundhog Day For Punxsutawney Phil’s Caretakers | TODAY Original
Anyone else having the dark thought, wondering how many times phil has died, and been replaced.
No, just me, yeah I figured.
if you toured most american corporate press priorities, almost every day would be expired obama era egos and corrupt clinton scam excuses desperately failing to impress or intimidate, and thats with all their industry momentum expertise and popularity. theyre kinda stuck in mueller time, and need others.
Oh to be an immortal being removed from the flows of time, all to take care of an enchanted rat
Don't drive angry!
I have a groundhog living under the ground of my yard and I don’t know what he did on Groundhog Day
💟‼️! Beautiful and More!❗️💚
What?! He’s 134 years old?
Phil is cute.
Frankly, this kind of kitsch is embarrassing but I understand the need for the little community to milk it for marketing reasons.
💓
They wear formal Wear to worship a huge rodent that is right about the weather about 40 percent… Pennsylvania must be a real party place
The groundhog's master plan to destroy and enslave humanity by causing global warming expands…
Cutie! 😍
animal abuse
Oml I was there today
They played lottery at 3:00 in the morning
why are all these old guys cosplaying mr. peanut?
Phil’s phavorite phood is everything
Better than the weather forecasters.
I think I've spent at least 600 hours either awake or sleeping with groundhog day on repeat throughout the night lol. I don't think I could sit through a new groundhog day movie, however, I do owe Bill Murray at least one viewing, it was a great kid's lesson movie.
If I didn’t get early spring I might have buried my head in the ground
Phil for president
I'm pretty sure Phil was asleep at 2:59. Must be getting a bit old if he can sleep in his human servants arms while people pose for photos.
😯… our homeless programs are drastically under funded… but there's money to fund the affluent survival of not only a ground rodent but his octogenarian entourage?..they all, even the garden destroying rodent, stay in a nice hotel and drink expensive alcohol… I never knew the foolishness went this deep 🤔
White boys club trying to control the weather.
Phil you the man u have fans in philly! 💪🏽😁💯
Of couse it it, they spend there time taking care of a mutant porcupine
These people take this way too far. Who even started this dumb tradition
🤦🏽♂️
Had my knob gobbled a few times, but designating a spot for the act was inspired! 😀
Knob Gobblers lmao
PETA wants them to change it to a robot 🙄
Omg yay
Soooooooo happy😃😀😃😀😀😃😀😀😃😀
This winter will be long, dark, and full of terror.
Literally has a special ground hog and makes it PHIL
I’m glad I share my birthday with Phil
All you grumpy killjoy people need to lighten up. It's all in fun and the groundhog is well taken care if. Nobody takes the prediction as absolute truth. It's nice to have something lighthearted to watch for a minute.
I WANT SHADOW SAW
Thats adorable
Looks like a bunch of Magicians to me. I’m not fooled.
This spring will be a very special spring once they allow the sun to Shine instead of Covering what things up with These ridiculous chemtrails. ☮️
Just
If a ground hog thought as we do, what would he be thinking? "I get fed great food and am well taken care of, in a cage. I travel the world and meet fans who adore me, in a cage. People make noise and faces at me. They smile and cheer when they see me, in a cage. People pet me and scratch my head. They hold me up in the air and say they love me. They say I am the great prognosticator. I get all these praises, then they put me back, in a cage. People watch me cuddle with my female, in a cage. I know I'm going to die, in a cage. If I ever have a son, people will pretend he is me, and lock him in a cage for his entire life as they are doing with me. If I don't have a son, people will select another lucky Groundhog to replace me, in a cage. They tell everyone that some magic potion keep giving me more life. Why do they do this to me? Why do they do this to us? Ho yea. They do it because they pretend to believe that I can predict how long winter will last if I see my shadow. I don't even know what a shadow is. They do it for their pleasure. They do it to me because I am a marketing tool I think. What's a marketing tool. Do they love me? I don't know. I am safe though. No predators. Don't have to forage for food. Don't have to worry about weather or a place to live. I am cared for. But, am I truly a Groundhog any longer? No. Am I a pet? Yes, and no. I am a slave to their idea. Yes. I know I will never be free. Am I happy about that? I think I'd rather be a Groundhog.
What a dumb tradition. I'm embarrassed for my state every year this occurs. It's accuracy is less than half….
My birthday is tomorrow! A day after ground hogs day
How can we trust this un-diversified outing?
This was actually really cute, I had no idea about all of this. Really cool!
Does anybody know Phil's prediction record?
Strike up, the music, the band has begun * dun dun dun dun * the pennsylvaniaaaa polka
Pick out, your partner, and join in the fun * dun dun dun dun * the pennsylvaniaaaa polka
Why is it only Phil gets to drink the booze? Maybe his wife is a bad drunk and beats him every night lol
And one more thing for everyone only time will tell
It’s just like the presidential election- a bunch of white guys in an inner circle excited to make a decision for the indigenous. And they’re thirsty too, like they just downloaded social media. It’s pathetically embarrassing.
Expect my resident ground hog to come a callin any day now. Will have his favorite, bananas.
My birthday is on groundhog’s day, therefore I am a groundhog and I get to choose what happens in the future
It’s just weird! Here, pick this one, it’s closer to you. What happened to seeing the shadow ?
The groundhog is another slave to humans
They used to dig him up and eat him. True history look it up.
very nice ground hog & gents, love
the FCC/News is all FAKE…
I heard in 2014 the mayor of New York dropped him and he died a few days later of internal injuries. Maybe they gave him a shot of punch and brought him back to life?
I think I met John Griffiths 5 years ago ( in June ) when outside his den at the cute library there.My hubby and I were on vacation in PA and I wanted to see Phil and his family.They had Phil in his big plastic can on the back of a black pick up truck.They were taking him to a school that afternoon.I got my pix taken with him,he was so cute!!!
Where is Bill Murray??
Stupid stupid stupid very very very twisted how really real world it comes out sonny days warmer day should come out on there own buy them self not people around and lights with it. See sheds of them self around the real world no people around. Stick outside for some time grass what is around eating. Then it is spring around in some time after that. If rain or snow bick out of holl not come out in all. It be some 7 days or more winter with it all. Truthfully storylines shouldn't be twisted around like it is with that animals behavior in the real world with people around and there big lights with it and hand take it out of there slip like this one be done
😞😣😔😒😣😣😣😞😒😔😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😵😵😵😵😵😵
Here we are in the dead middle of winter and we are getting 75 degree weather in NC. I think spring is already here.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
The day only white people care about
They also fail to report the true shadow forcast,
why isn't his name phillip? phil is short for phillip.
What is the difference between a groundhog and a marmot?
Phil saves us from fake science and voodoo weather forecasting
Phil the groundhog like :why do these humans move me around all the time?
I forget if it was this year or last but he didnt want to come out of his den lol so they had to lure him out with food haha🤣
He’s like put me back in my house and I will give wa what u want just put me back
groundhogs are so adorable 🥺❤️
Give me some of that elixir, guys.
So the question we ask today is, does Phil feel lucky?
Survey sez yes
So it’s Phil know the weather for us so very cool I know it since I was a child
Emm ahhhhh good

THANKS PHIL🇺🇸👍
Somehow someone is reliving the same day of february 2 2019 and is having the worst time possible
Good thing PETA is trying to shut this down, look at that poor abused groundhog! …
cuts to Phil casually laying in the guy's arms like a cat
"cuts to Phil eating more fruits and veggies than most adults*
cut to Phil in his house with his lady groundhog
😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm willing to bet PETA are not welcome guests.
He`s adorable!
Phil is precious and I really don’t see why people are so mad about it they take care of him they love and respect him and that’s really what it’s about. I think it’s sweet.
So, how about climate change you fool, does any one care,?
what a waste of time😂
So,what are his stats like,does Phil or the reader get it right often or not?
It’s not real
So… The Toppat Clan but they aren't criminals and have a famous groundhog in a nutshull.
Phyllis his wife. Lol. Wonder how many babies they've had.
Sooo he doesnt come out of his burrow on his own time ? I feel cheated and lied to 😐
wait, couldn't humans drink the secret juice to get a longer life span too?
Dunkey was right all along
How adorable. 💜
HE IS SO CUTE….
OH YES THE MEN ARE CUTE TOO
wow😃😄😄😄😄
