The Simpsons is without a doubt the most popular program in the world, having a vast audience. And it's the world's longest-running animated sitcom. Aside from its particular comedy, this program is interesting. However, he has made a name for himself as a foreteller of the future.
It's as if the show's screenwriters can see into the future, from the apple logo on cellphones to Donald Trump's presidency and more. Following the recent Biden-Harris inauguration, the program has once again garnered news.
A scene from the "Bart To The Future" episode
from 2000 may be seen if you pay attention to the details. Predicting Kamala
Harris' triumph as the United States' first female vice president.
1. Kamala Harris’ Purple Blazer
The sight that foretold Harris' victory. The remarkable resemblance between Lisa's and Harris' clothing was what drew the most attention. During their inauguration, Harris and Lisa donned purple blazers and pearl necklaces. This further persuaded supporters that the series had predicted her victory from the start.
2.Tom Hanks’ Hosting Stint at the Biden-Harris Inauguration
And then there was Tom Hanks' hosting stint during the inauguration, which sparked some debate among fans. They attributed it to the actor's cameo appearance in The Simpsons Movie in 2007." Hanks also addressed the audience as the emcee of the inaugural night more than a decade later.
3.Trump’s Presidency
Trump’s Presidency
Trump's election was one of the most widely predicted outcomes. The program aired 16 years before his campaign declaration. When asked, Dan Greaney, the author, said, "It was a warning to America." "And that looked like the only reasonable last stop before reaching rock bottom." It was proposed because it fit with the picture of America going wild," says the author.
4.Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl Halftime Performance
In terms of the performer, She performed at the town of Springfield in 2012 while suspended in the air with a harness. She did the same feat in real life five years later, and she even dressed up in a nearly identical space-age attire for her Super Bowl set.
5.Daenerys Targaryen’s “Mad Queen” Moment
Many people were stunned by the storyline surprise in Game of Thrones Season 8. What's more surprising is that it was foreshadowed in an episode of the animated sitcom named "The Seasons" that aired in 2017.
6. Ebola Virus Outbreak
Several fans speculated that the 1997 sitcom foreshadowed the 2014 Ebola outbreak. However, it should be noted that Ebola was initially detected in 1976. Or maybe they just understood that a virus will resurface in our lives with Covid and other such events.
7. The 9-11 attack
One of the most prevalent forecasts has been that this subject will be covered indefinitely by several conspiracy theories. In the 2001 episode "Chain Gang Johnny" of the cartoon series Johnny Bravo, a burning structure with a "Coming Soon" sign was shown. Many people thought the episode was a reference to the 9/11 events. Indeed, this synchronicity is strange enough on its own.
The Simpsons, on the other hand, may have been the first to foretell this calamity. There was a scenario in a 1997 episode in which Lisa showed Bart a magazine. A shadow of the Twin Towers stood ominously next to a large number 9 on the cover.
8. First Generation iPod
iPod is said to have made its initial "appearance" in a 1996 episode, five years before Apple released it to the general public. The animated version of the device was notable for having the identical design and features as the real-life iPod.
9. Mobile Devices and the outocorrect
The series provided us a glimpse of Smartphones and its auto-correct mechanism as early as 1994. Dolph was seen using an Apple Newton in a scene from the episode "Lisa on Ice." It was known at the time for its poor handwriting recognition function. As a result, when Dolph tried to write "Beat up Martin," the gadget mistook it for "Eat up Martha."
10.Creation of Smartwatches
Also, smartwatches were one of the other forecasts for the future of clocks in 1995, and the Apple Watch was released 20 years later.
11.Greek Financial Crisis
In a 2012 episode, the large headline "Europe puts Greece on eBay" foreshadowed the massive debt catastrophe that Greece would face three years later.
12.Construction of The Shard in London
From Even before its completion in 2009, the famous 72-story building was foretold in the 1995 episode "Lisa's Wedding." It's incredible to see how closely the actual construction resembled the one depicted in the episode, even down to the location.
13. Higgs Boson Equation
The discovery of the Higgs boson was crucial in understanding why other particles in the cosmos had mass in the end. In 1964, Professor Peter Higgs and five other physicists hypothesized its existence. It was only in 2013 that scientists were able to establish its existence. Surprisingly, a 1998 episode of the show correctly predicted the equation for calculating the mass of a Higgs boson.
14. 2016 Nobel Prize Winner in Economics
Milhouse's bet was also MIT professor Bengt
Holmström, as seen in the 2010 episode "Elementary School Musical."
In 2016, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics.
