The Simpsons, if you don't know them... Where did you even come from?.... Kidding! Well, not all of us people watch the Simpsons so if you really don't have an idea about the Simpsons I'll give you a brief idea of who are The Simpsons.
Matt Groening created The Simpsons for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The Simpsons is an American animated sitcom, The series is a satirical depiction of American life epitomized by the Simpsons family. The Simpsons consists of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. The series is set in the fictional town of Springfield and parodies American culture and society, television, and the human condition.
Now that you have some idea on the Simpsons let's proceed to their predictions that people say came true, I did some research because I was so intrigued, and guess what? I found some interesting stuff so today I'm gonna share it with you guys!
All right so, from this point is there anything that the Simpsons cannot predict? lol. I mean honestly, they predicted super bowl winners, the fall of nations via their GDP, scandals involving FIFA, and many more! if you don't believe me here some of the examples that the Simpsons really predicted the future.
Notre Dame Fire
In 2019 the Notre Dame Cathedral was caught on fire and it was all over the news. This event was so tragic that really left the country and many other sad because of the importance of the landmark. Here is where things really got crazy, after the fire, there is a photo going around the internet stating that the Simpsons actually predicted this fire.
There were some people who said that it was only edited and stuff but I don't know, what do you think?
Three-eyed fish
All the way back in 1990 in season 2 of the show there was an episode that came out called "Two cars in every garage and three eyes on every fish" in the episode the people in Springfield were shocked when Bart and Lisa found out that the fish near the ponds by the nuclear power plant were mutating and growing three eyes. I think they actually named it "blinky"
Guess what? It turns out that the Simpsons were right again, in 2011 a fisherman in Cordoba Argentina caught a three-eyed wolf fish in a reservoir fed by a local nuclear plant.
it's just so creepy that the blinky was caught near the nuclear plant and the fish was caught also near the power plant, not to mention both of them really look similar, who's with me?
Facetime/Skype?
In season 6 of the series, Lisa is engaged to a man named Hugh, a strange name it is. To deliver the message of her engagement, Lisa used a video call and contacted her mother, Marge. I know some other shows like Star Trek like on-screen call but this one was actually a little different, we all know that facetime mainly used on phones and you can even see a phone on the shot(picture above).
For a 1995 show, this one is pretty cool and advance, if you thought that's all well you are wrong in the similar future episode Lisa's husband(a different guy this time, lol) have a smartwatch, now if you ask me that was pretty ahead of its time
The FIFA scandal
In 2015 before Set Blatter resigned as FIFA president a widespread corruption within the te organization was exposed.
In the 2014 episode, Homer himself was enrolled in some dodgy dealing, just over a year after Bladder steps down, in the episode Homer basically takes a bribe to ensure that Brazil beats Germany in the final game but his conscience gets better of him and basically, Germany wins the game. Guess what? a few years later Germany did really beat Brazil in the world cup final.
Now, how accurate is that? right? hehe
JCPenny's Collapse
The Simpsons are really good at predicting the downfall of a certain thing in a financial sense like Greece if falling GDP. Now in season 18 of the show way back in 2007 the episode " please Homer don't hammer them" showed that the Simpsons arriving a JCPenney and Marge noting that it used to be here but the store is all rundown and already empty.
Now here is when it gets really interesting, fast forward a decades later the long-running store chain did indeed shut down. The Simpsons did it again, lol.
That is all for today! there are actually more of the Simpsons predictions like the covid 19 but my eyes started to get irritated again, I'm so pissed. Like, how can I write a long article if my eyes can't handle so much radiation?
But anyways if your curious you can watch it here,
What do you think of the Simpsons predictions? is it pure coincidence or there is something even more?
