The Simpsons predictions have amazed fans for decades, but some cartoon predictions from the show that came true are downright shocking — and they’ve gone viral! In this Blogimine exclusive, we dive into the most unbelievable Simpsons moments that turned into real-life events.
1. Donald Trump Becomes President
Episode: Bart to the Future (Season 11, Episode 17 – aired in 2000)
Reality: Trump became U.S. President in 2016.
This prediction went super viral because the show mentioned Trump as a former president 16 years before it happened.
2. Smartwatches
Episode: Lisa’s Wedding (Season 6, Episode 19 – aired in 1995)
Reality: Smartwatches like the Apple Watch became popular after 2015.
People were stunned that they showed someone making a video call on a watch decades before the tech existed.
3. Disney Buying 20th Century Fox
Episode: When You Dish Upon a Star (Season 10, Episode 5 – aired in 1998)
Reality: Disney actually bought 21st Century Fox in 2019.
The episode even showed a sign that said “A Division of Walt Disney Co.” 😱
4. COVID-19–Like Virus + Murder Hornets
Episode: Marge in Chains (Season 4, Episode 21 – aired in 1993)
Reality: The “Osaka Flu” spreads in Springfield, just like how COVID did. Then, a box releases killer bees — similar to the murder hornets news in 2020.
5. Game of Thrones Ending (Dragon Burning Everything)
Episode: The Serfsons (Season 29, Episode 1 – aired in 2017)
Reality: Daenerys’ dragon torches King’s Landing in the GoT finale (2019).
Fans went wild, pointing out the striking similarity.
6. The Higgs Boson Equation
Episode: The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace (Season 10, Episode 2 – aired in 1998)
Reality: Homer writes an equation on a blackboard that’s very close to predicting the Higgs boson’s mass, discovered in 2012!
7. Greece’s Economic Crisis
Episode: Politically Inept, with Homer Simpson (Season 23, Episode 10 – aired in 2012)
Reality: A news ticker reads “Europe puts Greece on eBay” — just before the Greek debt crisis became international news.
8. 9/11 Attack Foreshadowing
Episode: The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson (Season 9, Episode 1 – aired in 1997)
Reality: The infamous 9/11 attacks occurred in 2001.
In a quick scene, Lisa holds up a brochure that reads “New York $9” with the Twin Towers right behind the number, visually forming “9/11”.
This coincidence went viral years later as people claimed the show “predicted” the tragedy. Though likely unintentional, it gave major conspiracy theory vibes.
9. Queen Elizabeth II’s Death
Episode: The Regina Monologues (Season 15, Episode 4 – aired in 2003)
Reality: Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2022.
While the episode didn’t directly predict her death, it went viral after fans noticed a few strange coincidences:
- The Queen appears in the episode, and Homer crashes into her carriage, symbolically interpreted by some as a bad omen.
- In some viral edits and fan-made posts, people claimed the show even showed the exact date of her death, but those were digitally altered.
