Imagine what that groundhog is thinking right now... " yes humans worship me, one day you will all fall at my feet offering nothing but carrots and apples from my taking for I control your weather!"
I just read an article that said he is kept in a zoo and they don’t even let him hibernate by keeping it the same temperature and light on at all times to profit off him the most from people coming year-round. You should look into it. It’s actually pretty cruel.
Set my alarm to play “I Got You Babe” at 6 AM every year on February 2nd. Glad this fun and cheerful tradition continues. Happy Groundhog Day…..again. 🦫
For those that don't know, this event is completely free to get into. You will need to be there about 5 hours ahead of time. You can ride free shuttles to the event as well. Make sure you wear good boots because it's almost always muddy and be sure to dress warmly.
To the commenters, trump left office 4 years ago almost. No need to keep bringing him up like that. He literally was and is an establishment candidate as much as he claims he isn't lmao. At least Biden has gotten stuff done and worked on fixing stuff unlike Mr poopy pants.
Yep, as a native Pennsylvanian, it's gonna snow like He!!. Everytime the Fellas from Punxsutawney predict a short winter. We get a Blizzard. It's Great fun anyway. Thanks Guys!😂😂😂😂
Out of 128 predictions he's only predicted an early spring 20 times. 1 times war clouds got in the way. It's El Nino this year which means mild winter for most of the states, but up north north you could still get a blizzard.
this is animal abuse. if there is one tradition that needs to die in american history, its the exploitation of animals. this entire thing is completely pointless anyways. celebration for the sake of celebration. you dont need the animal to do this
The town is invested heavily. It is a fascinating place to visit. Located throughout town, the Phantastic Phils! public art projects include 41 larger-than-life fiberglass groundhogs, all creatively painted and designed by local and national artists. Visitors can see how many they spot on their own or can grab a map of the Phils and pick their favorite.
@@Acolischeck it out he's average is almost 40 percent correct. Better then some weather changes. Bet you were told "Santa" doesn't exist at an early age as well.
I'm watching from Ireland. When I see bat s**t crazy things like this, I think God Bless America & all of it's traditions, quirks & foibles. Ya gotta get that "Land of the Free" thing up & running 100% again though. You're a beacon for the rest of us!
Workin on it chief ! But wait a minute… don’t y’all have that blarney stone kissing thing goin on ? 😂 I love everyone’s silly traditions too. I think it helps hold things together. Much love to ya, from Indiana USA !
Beautiful. Thank you,my Celtic kinfolk. Here in the land of mongrels (USA)(I'm Polish/Irish-American) I treasure any contact with my maternal grandparents's place of birth(County Cork). Politically,I couldn't agree more. Hoping and praying this fever of mass insanity breaks soon.
Ummm, because there’s not a Los Angeles Lou…? Most American citizens don’t travel in from all 50 states to attend the annual festivities in Pennsylvania. But we should.
The expression on Phil‘s face just fit each moment! The way he looked at the guy when he was picking the squirrel and then when they held the scroll down for Phil to look at, he looked at the scroll looked at the audience, looked at the guy holding it like Yep, that’s it 😂😂
@dalleliavila310 The vernal equinox marks the beginning of astronomical spring and occurs in the Northern Hemisphere around March 20th. This year, it's March 19, 2024. 🌷
Hysterical! I can't help thinking of Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream,"O Lord! What fools these mortals be!" Silliness can be so much fun! God bless Phil!
I hate that they do this I wish they would at least show how this groundhog and other r treated cause for all we know these groundhogs r being treated terriblely. Show us proof on how there treated
its obviously treated and conditioned around people or else it would try to escape. it seems to trust people. they take very good care of it, how else would they keep him alive?@@talia522
If I had that many people crowing at me at this hour of the morning, I'd tell them what they want to hear, too......just so they don't fricasee me later! 🤣 Bring on Spring! 😎
The first time I heard about this tradition was back in 2015. I was an exchange student from Brazil living in Indiana, PA for 2 semesters. That's when I heard about the movie Groundhog Day and the city of Punxsutawney, 30 minutes far from Indiana. From that year forward, I watch Phil's prediction every February 2nd!
This is the first time I considered that there doesn't seem to be much going on at all because how the hell do you tell what a groundhog has seen? Lol but it seems like fun
Thank u Phil ❤❤ I was really hoping for early spring ❤❤ nice way start the year off.... Phil is sooooo freaking cute would love to go to GOBBLER'S KNOB one day for this ceremony.....
Happy Groundhog Day Friday Feb 2, 2024. Ask Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day" (The Movie) if anything goes without any punishment if you can live the same day over and over again?
You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.
I live in PA. I've gone to see Phil in his "off season". PETA hates this but honestly, that is the fattest groundhog ever and he has the cushiest digs and he is very much the luckiest groundhog ever.
Oh, so be nice as stay warm. We had a mild winner, this winner, and not hardly any snow. It won't around us somehow, but it will come back on it. Hopefully it doesn't hopefully it goes away, butcket. Chuck this might make our dand god bless everybody
We used Phil in WWII to predict the blitzkrieg over London. He predicted Jeffrey Epstein's cause of demise (different than what was ruled...). And he's even undefeated at the classic cups and balls game. Do not underestimate Phil.
Hey now, Let us worship in peace! Let us venerate Phil as we honor him serving as Conduit for our Lord and Savior, Woodchuck Almighty. Practice some religious tolerance and remember all of history’s great profits: you got your Muhammad. You’re got Siddhartha. You got Zoraster if you wanna take it real far back, you got your Jesus, etc, your prophets of the Great Spirit ,Freddie Mercury… Please! Let stop the persecution. Or may the God’s of Puxastawney and all the drunk dads at the ceremony strike YOU DOWN!
Punxsutawney Phil has in fact never been wrong, especially here in Sweden. And indeed we're getting an early spring, it went from -18c to +8c after Phils predictions, he actually never gets it wrong.
Phil's crowd is a million times bigger than old Joe's. Phil is way more popular. Probably much smarter. Definitely more honest.. and better for the country!
Imagine what that groundhog is thinking right now...
" yes humans worship me, one day you will all fall at my feet offering nothing but carrots and apples from my taking for I control your weather!"
Oh my goodness, he loves it 😂 he feels like a King 👑
Considering he gets round the clock care and the most famous Ground hog in the world.
You should see his house at City Hall..heated place with a wife..he has it made
Hash browns too apparently.
Phil loved the worship
I've always loved this tradition. I heard Phil is treated like royalty and pampered all year long. He's so adorable. Happy Spring!
Of course he’s pampered! He controls the weather
They also have him behind bullet proof glass because someone treid to off him once.
You said it right Jade!
@@gtd360someone was mad that Phil was right
I just read an article that said he is kept in a zoo and they don’t even let him hibernate by keeping it the same temperature and light on at all times to profit off him the most from people coming year-round. You should look into it. It’s actually pretty cruel.

Aw thanks, I assumed only locals got to participate!
I just want to pet the groundhog.
More Satanic Idolatry.
It is a sin.
Sounds great! Maybe a dozen or so adult beverages while waiting!
@@davidrodgers2534 Me too
Who else can't wait to see this event Tommorw again :)
HA HILARIOUS, LIKE THE MOVIE, GOTTA SHOW JIM
Me!!! I was just thinking Uh Oh It’s Groundhog Day…Once Again… 😂❤ I will get to hear those lovely words again and again
Queues the song "I Got You Babe!"
Maybe I’ll be able to make it tomorrow or the next day. LOL

I like how when the speech really starts *Phil* looks out into the audience as if he was speaking through the dude with the scroll.
*Phil
It's an alien
@@joshyoung1440 Your mom.
It really felt like he was talking to us for a moment lmao
How does the groundhog tell him that!!😂😂😂😂😂
We need guy's like Phill to run our government ❤
Like a puppet animal? We have one currently…
Phil should be the next US President, would do better than Biden.
You people are stupid
To the commenters, trump left office 4 years ago almost. No need to keep bringing him up like that. He literally was and is an establishment candidate as much as he claims he isn't lmao. At least Biden has gotten stuff done and worked on fixing stuff unlike Mr poopy pants.
@@runechuckieBiden has gotten stuff done for ruining this country. As a legal latino close the border, dummy
His handsome little self perched on that dudes arm is freakin adorable!
One of the best movies of all time. Entertaining and uplifting.
This is a real celebration.
@@tippyhadroncolliderlol
I love that movie too. But this has been going on looong before that.
@@tippyhadroncollider He was referring to the movie this event inspired. If you haven't seen it, please do. It's pretty good.
What movie is it? 🙂
Good work Phil ❤ precious boy
Yep, as a native Pennsylvanian, it's gonna snow like He!!. Everytime the Fellas from Punxsutawney predict a short winter. We get a Blizzard. It's Great fun anyway.

Everyone knows he doesn't actually predict the weather. It's just for fun.
@kathrynhoward4196 he's wrong more often than right so honestly I watch these and take the opposite prediction as fact
If we keep no other American traditions, we must keep this one. Lol greatest tradition of American history ❤❤❤ We love you Phil!!!
*Phil
this is animal abuse. if there is one tradition that needs to die in american history, its the exploitation of animals.
this entire thing is completely pointless anyways. celebration for the sake of celebration. you dont need the animal to do this
I am always looking forward to that day:-)
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

how have i never heard of "Gobbler's Knob" before?! That is HILARIOUS

Yay! Phil did not see its shadow this morning at dawn. An early Spring is on the way.
I mean how could he see his shadow the man was standing in front of him

This is why I love America so much
Don’t forget to write in for Phil 2024
"Atmosphere is a wonderful thing. And WE CAN CREATE OUR OWN AND THE WEATHER IT BRINGS...." Yup, that's all I needed to hear. If you know, you know.
I noticed this also! I was looking for a comment like this! ❤
ME TOO!! Always nice to see someone else who has eyes to see, and ears to hear. 🙌🙏@@laurengrace9297
The gentleman’s energy , holding Phill, is very calming and kind.❤
Omg im watching this at work and literally started laughing out loud when they brought phil out.... so cute
Was just there today! If we keep no other American tradition, we need to keep this one. It's utterly whimsical.
As a ni66a from los Angeles, this is dope. Good for y'all.
What does the first part have to do with anything lol
I know u see all em white ppl in the video .. 😊
@@iamsierramariee8782yes no shooting or killing or violence just a whole lot of civil people when they get together
Ummm, because there’s not a Los Angeles Lou…? Most American citizens don’t travel in from all 50 states to attend the annual festivities in Pennsylvania.
But we should.
Remember: "Don't drive angry!"
Not bad for a quadruped!
The expression on Phil‘s face just fit each moment! The way he looked at the guy when he was picking the squirrel and then when they held the scroll down for Phil to look at, he looked at the scroll looked at the audience, looked at the guy holding it like Yep, that’s it 😂😂
It's a groundhog, not a squirrel.
This is so silly but is so fun. 68 years old and watch it every year. I wonder if the movie Groundhog Day will be playing tonight? Come on spring!!!
I love this!!! Never been to America at all....but this is just great!
Who’s excited for spring!!
me!!! I’m excited
I am it's my favorite time of year.
Spring time everything comes alive again praise God.
@@bettymitchell4349Amen
Early spring! 🤸♂️🤸♀️
When is spring?
@dalleliavila310 The vernal equinox marks the beginning of astronomical spring and occurs in the Northern Hemisphere around March 20th. This year, it's March 19, 2024. 🌷
@@nooneanybodyknows7912 Oh okay thank you
Hysterical! I can't help thinking of Puck in Midsummer Night's Dream,"O Lord! What fools these mortals be!" Silliness can be so much fun! God bless Phil!
Poor little guy, I'm sure he was frightened by the crowd. He's so cute.
You finally got out your cage this winter.
He's not he's a king 👑
I hate that they do this I wish they would at least show how this groundhog and other r treated cause for all we know these groundhogs r being treated terriblely. Show us proof on how there treated
its obviously treated and conditioned around people or else it would try to escape. it seems to trust people. they take very good care of it, how else would they keep him alive?@@talia522
Happy Groundhog's Day! Thank you, Punxsutawney Phil. Looking forward to the Spring!
THANK YOU PHIL YOUR THE GREATEST.
Just plain old fun!!! This is a tradition i agree with!! Super cute.
THE GROUNDHOG IS SO CUTE OML😭 BUT EARLY SPRING WOOHOOO🥳!!
He's so adorable! I love Phil!❤❤❤
If I had that many people crowing at me at this hour of the morning, I'd tell them what they want to hear, too......just so they don't fricasee me later! 🤣
Bring on Spring! 😎
Happy news. Thank you Phil
All this AND a poem! Go Phil!
I love this tradition
Thank God an early Spring.
As a kid I always waited for the ground hog to say an early spring is coming
The first time I heard about this tradition was back in 2015. I was an exchange student from Brazil living in Indiana, PA for 2 semesters. That's when I heard about the movie Groundhog Day and the city of Punxsutawney, 30 minutes far from Indiana. From that year forward, I watch Phil's prediction every February 2nd!
I wanna Spring! 🌻
My boy Phil!! He knows what's up ❤
This is the first time I considered that the deciding factor may be in the physiology of the animal's eyes rather than in what it sees.
This is the first time I considered that there doesn't seem to be much going on at all because how the hell do you tell what a groundhog has seen? Lol but it seems like fun
Love u Phil from Canada
He’s actually from Pennsylvania, USA
Poor animal looked all scared 😢
He loves the attention.
No he doesn't
Thank u Phil ❤❤ I was really hoping for early spring ❤❤ nice way start the year off.... Phil is sooooo freaking cute would love to go to GOBBLER'S KNOB one day for this ceremony.....
Happy Spring Phil.❤
I love Groundhog Day
I heard of this for years just stumbled into this video. Interesting.
Good lord! I haven't ever watched this before. Where's the beer tent!!!
Happy Groundhog Day
Explaining this American holiday to my Moroccan husband was particularly hilarious.
I always celebrate Groundhog Day every year!
Yay! I was hoping for an early spring and it is now on the horizon! WAHOO!!!
LOL at 0:35! I chant the same thing at the gas station every time.
Ten bucks doesn't get as much as it used to.
2:03 Unless that’s the peoples shadow right there and not the groundhog shadow how the hell are they saying he did not see his shadow?
What a great show! Thank you Phil!
Spring is the real New Year! 💃🏾✨🌞🥂
Happy Groundhog Day Friday Feb 2, 2024. Ask Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day" (The Movie) if anything goes without any punishment if you can live the same day over and over again?
All in good fun, and I love it!
Its really cute. I think its a early spring. Its mostly rain, very little snow.
Thanks, Phil!
Cool .. .. an early SPRING ‼️.. .. .. but What is amazing is that large rodent can write in verse!
it’s a prediction not even true
Ever heard rap music?
@@layla-pp1mpwhat other groundbreaking information will you tell us?
@CowboyKillerBeats No. You are wrong. President Trump says it's real. The same groundhog says he won the last election. That's the proof.
@CowboyKillerBeats Not fake. That gopher even predicted that Trump won the last election. Which he did. D’Oh!
Oh my Gosh❣️ Such joy community traditions bring💖 Phil is so stinking Cute 🥰
🌷🌷 good afternoon all 🦊🦌 I cannot believe how many people show up to see Phil glad it be an early spring 🌼 February could still have snow
You want a prediction about the weather, you're asking the wrong Phil.
I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey,
and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.
You're no fun!!! ;)
We love the Phil the Groundhog. We always used our Guinea Pigs!
Sounds legit. I’ve already been wearing shorts in California. Happy Groundhog Day Phil!
Yay!!! Early spring:)
Thanks Phil!!!
I live in PA. I've gone to see Phil in his "off season". PETA hates this but honestly, that is the fattest groundhog ever and he has the cushiest digs and he is very much the luckiest groundhog ever.
I’m ready for spring
But it probably won’t happen 😂
Cutest little groundhog
Oh, so be nice as stay warm. We had a mild winner, this winner, and not hardly any snow. It won't around us somehow, but it will come back on it. Hopefully it doesn't hopefully it goes away, butcket. Chuck this might make our dand god bless everybody

Thank God, I need an early spring to get some work done.
Long live phill happy early Spring everybody.

Happy spring yay
😀WONDERFUL. AN EARLY SPRING IS ON ITS WAY
I knew it a week ago when I seen my spring flowers coming up,yaa Phil and early spring ❤

@@Atheism-And-Normative-Ethics Little known fact that Phil is a member of the Stonecutters.
Phil is so calm and cute 😍
I never knew the ceremony to be that much fun yippie SPRING🎉🎊
I love that it’s called Gobblers Knob
I ❤ Winter better than Spring
Autumn 🍂 is even better
I'm looking forward to coming back to this comment later and see it get turned into a bunch of people arguing about which season is the best🤣
how do they prepare the animal to be in front of a mass of rowdy spectators ? so that it won’t be traumatized ? CBD ? lots of handling ?
This is insane 😢
Yay!!! Screw winter!!!
I love how Phil looks like he has no idea what the hell is going on, but he is happy to be there at the same time.
Looks terrified to me
Lol how I live my life
Watching this as I’m watching Groundhog Day
Phil, the true Messiah!! 🙌
A bit over the top on that
Hey now, Let us worship in peace! Let us venerate Phil as we honor him serving as Conduit for our Lord and Savior, Woodchuck Almighty. Practice some religious tolerance and remember all of history’s great profits: you got your Muhammad. You’re got Siddhartha. You got Zoraster if you wanna take it real far back, you got your Jesus, etc, your prophets of the Great Spirit ,Freddie Mercury…
Please! Let stop the persecution.
Or may the God’s of Puxastawney and all the drunk dads at the ceremony strike YOU DOWN!
I read years back when they did this, they would eat the ground hog after the ceremony.
That poor animal looks terrified 😂
He been doing it for years use to the crowds and probably have a nice place for him to roam
Punxsutawney Phil has in fact never been wrong, especially here in Sweden. And indeed we're getting an early spring, it went from -18c to +8c after Phils predictions, he actually never gets it wrong.
Phil's crowd is a million times bigger than old Joe's. Phil is way more popular. Probably much smarter. Definitely more honest.. and better for the country!
Finally, another early Spring and not more winter snow 😁 We needed that after January snowstorms.
An early spring NO I'm not ready for winter to end
The groundhog didn't see his shadow because the man was standing in front of it with his big ass shadow
Happy Groundhog Day! Hugs for Phil!
