Groundhog Day timeloop continues with Bill Murray and friend in new ad

It may be one of the most beloved movies of all time.  And you can’t get through the holiday without watching it at least once.  It’s the late comedy genius Harold Ramis’s Groundhog Day, and 27 years after the movie first put us through hundreds of timeloops, this Groundhog Day the one and only Bill Murray made his return as the perpetual weatherman Phil Connors.  Despite the ending of the movie, he found his way to being unstuck in time again, thanks to a commercial for Jeep for today’s Super Bowl.

Joining Phil in Punxsutawney, PA, again is insurance salesman Ned Ryerson (Stephen Tobolowsky) and townie Buster Green, played again by Murray’s brother Brian Doyle-Murray.

The best part?  Murray looks like he’s having a blast, unlike his frustrated character in the movie.  Which is the point of the commercial.

Check it out!
