Since the umbrella dust is the source of the servers I guess it's impressive that I can hack it and not sub.

Jean Rogers was in LET’S MAKE MUSIC with Elisabeth Risdon, who was in MA! HE’S MAKING EYES AT ME with Larry Williams, who was in APOLLO 13 with Kevin Bacon.

My dolphin puns are terrible on porpoise.

It’s hard to be a woman in a co-ed locker room.

It’s just as hard though…

…to be a guy named Ed.

I’ve been both and rather not be either.

And

In the story "Death and Venice" in The Sandman: Endless Nights, a nobleman has intentionally created a Groundhog Day loop which includes an entire island and all its inhabitants (including the nobleman himself), in which a decadent consequence-free party has repeated every day for hundreds of years. It's warded to be beyond Death's reach, but she eventually persuades a random human passing by to force open the entrance, letting her slip inside, break the loop, and return everyone to their proper timeline.

There was a Straight-To-TV documentary about (natural) disasters following a scientists life that plays with this trope. He of course is stuck in a loop, but he doesn't actually remember it, "nature" does though. He is trying to get to work, but one thing is always different from the previous loop, causing him to die (from small things such as getting electrocuted because of lighting to big things such as a sudden tornado or tsunami hitting the city) with the narrator at one point cheerfully implying that "the world" doesn't seem to want him to reach his workplace. With each loop he gets closer to work though, only to finally reach it at the end. It is then revealed that he is a scientist working on creating a black hole. He succeeds in doing so and it sucks him and everything up. Which is the ''cause'' of the Groundhog Day Loop, with the documentary ending as he dies at the very beginning again, revealing that "the world" is trying to kill him permanently to try stopping the loop.

A Groundhog Day Loop was how the Justice League got rid of Chronos in the end of the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Once and Future Thing, Pt. 2: Time, Warped". The villain tried to turn himself into a god by escaping to the beginning of time, but due to Green Lantern and Batman altering his belt's programming, he was thrown back to his house with his wife yelling at him... over and over again.

Despite pre-dating Groundhog Day by five decades, the British horror Anthology Film Dead of Night (1945), starring Mervyn Johns and Michael Redgrave, uses this trope. The main character, Craig, is stuck in a country house with people he recognises from his nightmares and is compelled to kill everyone, just like he does every time in the nightmares. He then wakes up, relieved that this was All Just a Dream, but receives a phone call from one of the persons in his nightmare to drive over to the very same country house, where the same sequence of events starts to play out once again.

Some TV channels air all-day marathons of Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day. Many TV showings of the film also air the same commercial multiple times in a row or have every break consist of the same commercials in the same order.
It's a common radio station prank to play "I Got You Babe" twice in a row in the morning on February 2 - the song Bill Murray always wakes up to every morning in Groundhog Day.
