Literature

This was a Groundhog Day conflict, in which contests for a portion of elephant grass, jungle or rice paddy were repeated not merely month after month but year upon year, with no Andie McDowell as prize in the last reel.

Live-Action TV

  • Roundhouse parodied the movie in one episode. Ivan is grounded, so his alarm clock (played by Mark and Natalie) proclaims that it's "Grounded Day" and busts into a short parody of "I Got You Babe".
  • In The Good Doctor episode "Not Fake," Kalu sets up a tablet for a woman with severe burns and tells her to pick a movie. She says, "You think Groundhog Day is going to make a difference? 'I'm torturing you, but hey, you get to watch a funny movie.'"
  • In the 2022 Quantum Leap episode "Leap. Die. Repeat.", Ben gets stuck looping the same half hour, repeating the same events with a different leapee each time. The first time he loops back to the start of the leap, he says, "What in Groundhog Day is this?" Jenn later tells Magic that the only information on the internet about time loops comes from "vague scientific theories and questionable Groundhog Day fan fiction." Towards the end, Ben tells Addison, "My mistake was thinking I was in Groundhog Day when I was really in Rashomon all along."
