Line 137:
'''Phil Connors:''' We may catch a break and that blizzard's gonna blow right by us. All of this moisture coming up out of the south by midday is probably gonna push on to the east of us and at high altitudes it's gonna crystallize and probably give us what we call snow. Probably will be some accumulation but here in Punxsutawney our high is gonna get up to about 30 today, teens tonight. Chance of precipitation about 20% today, 20% tomorrow. Did you want to talk about the weather or were you just making chitchat? }}
* [[Ted Baxter]]: Phil before the loop. He invariably responded to greetings with, "Hi, thanks for watching."
* [[Typecasting]]: Mostly Bill Murray, alternately played straight and inverted during the course of the movie, but a couple of the others could be described as such too.
{{quote| '''[[Roger Ebert]]''': The Murray persona has become familiar without becoming tiring: The world is too much with him, he is a little smarter than everyone else, he has a detached melancholy, he is deeply suspicious of joy, he sees sincerity as a weapon that can be used against him, and yet he conceals emotional needs.}}
* [[Understatement]]: Phil tells Rita that "My years are not advancing as fast as you might think."
* [[Viewers Are Goldfish]]: Subverted by this film and many others that use [[Groundhog Day Loop]] plot devices, as each repetition has variations.
