Shudder with predictions about the world in "The Simpsons"

The Simpsons is no stranger to animation enthusiasts. Is this cartoon really a 'prophet' when it continuously predicts events happening in the world?

"The Simpsons" is the longest-running American sitcom and animated series, having aired over 800 episodes since its debut in 1989, winning numerous awards and a huge fan base around the world. The five Simpsons live in the fictional town of Springfield. Father Homer Simpson works at a nearby nuclear power plant and is a clumsy man. Mother Marge Simpson is a typical American housewife. They have three children. 10-year-old son Bart Simpson, 8-year-old daughter Lisa Simpson, and youngest Maggie Simpson, who is still using a pacifier.

The show revolves around a family of five, satirically portraying all aspects of American culture, society and life. At first, everyone watching laughed heartily, but very quickly, someone discovered that the Simpsons family has incredible prophetic powers.

In Season 11, Episode 17, "Bart to the Future," which aired in 2000, Bart sees the future under the guidance of a fortune teller. His sister Lisa becomes the president of the United States. Lisa's predecessor is real estate mogul Trump.

Trump did run for president that year, but he participated in the presidential primary of a small party called the "Reform Party" and withdrew early without creating any waves. No one thought that 16 years later he would return, win the election, and be elected president of the United States. Did the writers of "The Simpsons" have a clairvoyant eye and admire Trump early on, or did they have their own plans in mind? Let's guess this ourselves.

What's even more surprising is that the outfit future president Lisa wears in the movie is very similar to the outfit Biden's vice president Harris wore at the inauguration. It's a coincidence, too much of a coincidence.

Not only that, in an episode that aired in October 2016, just a month before Trump was elected president, "The Simpsons" also featured a badge with the name Ivanka, Trump's daughter, and the year 2028 on it. Some netizens interpreted this as a prediction that Ivanka would run for US president in 2028? Could Ivanka inherit her father's legacy? Let time tell.

There is no crystal ball in the bedrooms of the writers of the animated series "The Simpsons", but throughout the 30-year history of this famous cartoon, the series has predicted many startling coincidences about real-life events, from Donald Trump's election as US President, the 9/11 event to Disney's acquisition of Fox. According to some statistics, the number of predictions that have come true by The Simpsons has reached more than 20.

"The future is not as unpredictable as you think," said Al Jeans, one of the show's writers since 1998, when asked about the mystery. "Every episode of The Simpsons is produced a year in advance, so to predict what will happen, we only have to think a year ahead of everyone else." "I also predict that people will overstate our predictions," he joked.

The secretive team behind the scenes of The Simpsons are all very sharp minds, some even graduated from Harvard, UC Berkeley, and other elite schools, according to William Irwin, author of The Simpsons and Philosophy (there really is a book!). The result is a massive program that includes a wealth of reference material on art, literature, popular culture, politics, and science.

Behind the more than 400 episodes of The Simpsons series are some of the most brilliant minds, most of whom graduated from prestigious universities such as Harvard, Berkeley or California. "When you have so many smart people working on a TV show, prophecies happen," he said.

The Simpsons is embarrassed because Mr. Trump was elected, the prophecy of the US President 2024 is hot again Hoa Tuyết5 months agoAfter Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, a prophecy from 24 years ago suddenly became hot again, causing a global shock. Mr. Trump himself must have been surprised when he learned the content.
