25 Times When The Simpsons ‘predicted’ The Future
Since the dawn of the first episode, the Simpsons have been known to bring forth a lot of amusement within living rooms across the globe. Aside from all the laughter, they have aired some seriously curious episodes. It seems they have access to knowledge of things that had not happened yet, and they would include it in the episodes. Almost as if they were premonitions of the future. Here are 25 examples of their predictions.
1. Super Bowl Predictions
In 1992, Lisa Simpson predicted the team would win the Super Bown in season 3, Episode 14. It was Super Bowl XXVI, and she said the Washington Redskins would win. This ended up coming true.
2. Simpsons Predict the Super Bowl, Again!
In 1993, the Simpsons made another prediction for who would win the Super Bowl. With the previous year’s prediction of the Super Bowl victors still fresh in everyone’s minds, people marveled at the second correct prediction. They showed how the Dallas Cowboys would win, and sure enough, they did.
3. And Again!!
No one would have guessed they would get it right for a second time but for a third! Hilariously and a little bit scarily, they got their third prediction correct. They predicted that the San Francisco 49ers would win the Superbowl XXIX.
4. Simpsons Predicted Trump as President
Bart Simpson traveled to the future in Season 11, Episode 17: “Bart to the Future.” During this episode, they suggest how Donald Trump was America’s president in the year 2024. Ironically, Trump was president during the years 2017 to 2021. But, he has announced that he will run for president again in 2024 – just as the Simpsons predicted.
5. Simpsons Sensory
Marge Simpson once attempted to make their favorite in-show cartoon, Itchy, and Scratchy, more morally coded in Season 2, Episode 9: “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge”. In other words, she wanted them to be less crude or less violent. However, it backfired when the public wanted to cover the nudity of famous works of art like Michaelangelo’s David. In 2016, Russians wanted to do the same thing by adding clothes to one of the famous states with clothing.
