October 1st 2024.
The internet was abuzz with laughter and shock as a famous moment from The Simpsons resurfaced on social media. It was the scene where Ralph Wiggum, the lovable and dim-witted character, utters the now iconic line "I'm in danger" while sitting on a school bus. The clip, which became a viral meme, was shared in celebration of its ten-year anniversary. But what fans didn't realize was that the joke actually originated from a crossover episode of The Simpsons and Family Guy.
Yes, you read that right. The meme that has been a staple on the internet for years is not from The Simpsons at all, but rather from its sister show, Family Guy. The crossover episode, titled "The Simpsons Guy", was the hour-long premiere of Family Guy's thirteenth season. And to clarify, it was not counted as an official episode of The Simpsons.
Fans were stunned by this revelation, with many taking to social media to express their disbelief. One fan even admitted to binge-watching the entire series and assuming the joke was from a deleted scene or a short, only to find out it was from a completely different show. Another fan shared their shock, saying they had just watched the crossover episode and thought the joke was a reference to an older gag from The Simpsons.
In the episode, the Griffin family meets the Simpson family for the first time and ends up staying with them after their car is stolen. But this surprising discovery about the "I'm in danger" meme is just one of the many revelations that The Simpsons has brought to its fans over the years.
Aside from being highly memeable, the long-running animated series has also gained a reputation for accurately predicting world events. From Donald Trump's presidency to the World Cup final and even the Titanic tragedy, The Simpsons has seemingly predicted it all. More recently, it even foresaw Kamala Harris' presidential run 20 years before it happened and the viral Olympic routine of Australian breakdancer Raygun.
However, some fans were concerned when the show's 36th season premiered with an episode titled "Series Finale". This led many to believe that The Simpsons was coming to an end. But as it turns out, it was just a clever jab at how fans imagine the perfect finale for the show. And fans couldn't help but laugh and appreciate the episode's references to old bits and long-gone characters.
For those who can't get enough of The Simpsons, the show is available to stream on Disney Plus in the UK. So go ahead and relive all your favorite moments, including the "I'm in danger" meme, and see what other predictions the show has in store for us.
