Wow, can you believe it? The Simpsons have done it again! Throughout this year, they have added yet another chilling prediction to their list of accurate forecasts that have come true. For over 30 years, devoted fans have been left in awe as the residents of Springfield seem to find themselves in major world events before they even happen. From Lady Gaga's performance at the Super Bowl to the Titanic tragedy and even the Coronavirus pandemic, the list goes on. It's no wonder there have been countless theories about how the creators of this animated series manage to predict the future. But even with all the speculation, it's hard to deny how spooky their predictions can be.
As we eagerly await what 2025 has in store for us, let's take a look back at some of the things The Simpsons got right this year, and one prediction we wish had actually come true. First up, let's talk about the chaotic Willy Wonka experience in Glasgow that went viral on TikTok. As it turns out, The Simpsons may have been ahead of the curve on this one. In a season five episode titled "Bart's Inner Child," Homer buys a trampoline and plans to open a play park for children in their backyard. Although the park is never actually made, Homer dreams of charging $50 for tickets to "Homerland," which features Trampoline World, Muckville USA, and Fort Adventure. Sound familiar? Unfortunately for Homer, his dream never becomes a reality in The Simpsons. However, they did predict the real-life disappointment of the "Willy Wonka experience" when a much later episode in 2002 showed a depressed, cigarette-smoking Oompa Loompa after Homer's failed attempt at smuggling sugar.
Next up, let's talk about Australian breakdancer Raygun (aka Rachael Gunn) who became a viral sensation at the Olympics this year. While she didn't score any points in her sport, she did build a loyal following with her unique performance that included hopping like a kangaroo and writhing on the floor. Fans were quick to notice the similarities between her routine and a 1993 episode of The Simpsons titled "Last Exit to Springfield." In this episode, Homer becomes president of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant's trade union and leads a strike to restore their dental plan. After successfully negotiating with Mr. Burns, Homer celebrates with a victory dance that fans compared to Raygun's performance.
Now, let's talk about Apple's latest technology, the Vision Pro, a mixed reality headset that integrates digital media with the real world and uses physical inputs like motion gestures and speech recognition. Sound familiar? It should, because The Simpsons featured a similar product in a 2016 episode titled "Friends and Family." In this episode, Mr. Burns hires the Simpsons family to act as his virtual reality family, and eventually, the technology becomes mainstream. In a montage, we see all the characters wearing virtual reality sets and experiencing hilarious mishaps as they get lost in the digital world. It's almost as if The Simpsons predicted the rise of virtual reality technology.
Now, let's talk about the one prediction we wish had come true this year. In a 2000 episode titled "Bart to the Future," The Simpsons imagined a world in which Lisa becomes the first female President of the United States. While Kamala Harris didn't win the election this year, it's interesting to note that Lisa succeeds Trump in the episode, 16 years before his actual rise to the White House. In the episode, Lisa wears a purple suit, pearl necklace, and earrings that bear a striking resemblance to what Harris wore during her inauguration with President Joe Biden. It's quite eerie how The Simpsons seem to have predicted this.
But perhaps the most chilling prediction of all is the one that didn't come true. In a 2015 episode, a sign reading "Trump 2024" can be seen flying in the background. And as we all know, the 2020 election results showed a map that was almost identical to the one shown in the episode, with states being declared for the Democrats and Republicans. Although The Simpsons didn't get the first female President right, they did seem to predict Trump's 2024 victory. Now that's seriously creepy.
In conclusion, The Simpsons have once again amazed us with their uncanny ability to predict the future. Whether it's through coincidence or some mysterious powers, it's hard to argue that their predictions are anything short of remarkable. As we look forward to what 2025 has in store, we can't help but wonder what other predictions The Simpsons will get right. Only time will tell.
Can you believe it? The Simpsons have done it again! Multiple times this year, they have made predictions that have actually come true, adding to their long list of eerily accurate prophecies. It's been over three decades since the show's debut, and yet loyal fans continue to be amazed as the residents of Springfield find themselves in major world events before they even happen.
From Lady Gaga's epic Super Bowl performance to the tragic sinking of the Titanic submersible, and now even the Coronavirus pandemic, The Simpsons seem to have a knack for foreseeing the future. Many have speculated about how the creators of the animated series are able to do this, but regardless of the theories, the fact remains that their predictions are nothing short of spooky.
As we eagerly wait to see what 2025 has in store for us, let's take a look back at the predictions that came true this year and one that we all wish had come true.
Remember the chaotic "Willy Wonka experience" in Glasgow that went viral on TikTok? Well, it seems like The Simpsons had already predicted it. In a season five episode titled "Bart's Inner Child," Homer dreams of opening a play park for children in their backyard. Although his dream never materializes, he envisions charging $50 for tickets to "Homerland," which includes attractions like Trampoline World and Fort Adventure. In another episode, years later, a depressed Oompa Loompa is seen smoking on a box in Springfield harbor, just like the one at the disappointing Willy Wonka event in Glasgow.
Then there's Australian breakdancer Raygun, who became a sensation during the Olympics with her unique performance. Fans couldn't help but notice the similarities between her routine and a scene from a 1993 episode titled "Last Exit to Springfield" where Homer leads a strike and celebrates by dancing on his side.
And let's not forget Apple's launch of the Vision Pro, a mixed reality headset that integrates digital media with the real world. The Simpsons had already featured a similar product in a 2016 episode, where Mr. Burns hires the family to play his virtual reality family. It's a technology that eventually becomes available to everyone, and we see the characters getting caught up in the experience, walking into lamp posts and falling into potholes.
Out of all their predictions, there's one that we all wish had come true this year. In a 2000 episode titled "Bart To The Future," Lisa becomes the first female President of America. In a parallel to real-life, Kamala Harris was not successful in her bid for the presidency this year, but in the episode, Lisa takes over from Trump, 16 years before his actual rise to the White House. The resemblance between Lisa's outfit and Harris' inauguration outfit was uncanny.
But perhaps the most chilling of all was The Simpsons' prediction of the 2020 election results. In an episode from years ago, a TV presenter stands in front of a map of the United States, showing which states have been declared in favor of Lisa, and which have been won by her running mate. The map is almost identical to the one that showed the results of the 2020 election between Democrats and Republicans. While they may have missed the mark on the first female President, it seems like The Simpsons did predict Trump's 2024 victory with a sign that read "Trump 2024" flying in the background of a 2015 episode.
It's both fascinating and eerie to see these predictions come true, and it begs the question - how do The Simpsons do it? While we may never know the answer, one thing is for sure, we'll be keeping a close eye on their future episodes for any more accurate prophecies.
