1. Super Bowl Predictions
1992 Lisa Simpson predicted in season 3 episode 14 that the team would win the Super Bowl. She predicted that the Washington Redskins would win Super Bowl XXVI. Finally, it happened.
2. The Simpsons picked the Super Bowl again!
The Simpsons predicted the outcome of the Super Bowl one more time in 1993. People were amazed that the second prediction was accurate, especially since everyone was still wondering who would win the Super Bowl the year before. They predicted the Dallas Cowboys would win, and they were right.
3. And one more time!
No one would have guessed that they would succeed not only once, but three times!
They got their third prediction right, which was hilarious and a little scary. The San Francisco 49ers were their pick to win Super Bowl XXIX.
4. The Simpsons predicted that Trump would win the presidency
Episode 17 of Season 11 featured Bart Simpson’s journey into the future, nicknamed “Bart to the Future”. In this episode, they propose that Donald Trump will lead the United States as President in 2024. Paradoxically, Trump served as President from 2017 to 2021.
However, he stated that he would seek the presidency again in 2024, as suggested by The Simpsons.
5. The Sensory Simpsons
Season 2, Episode 9: “Itchy & Scratchy & Marge” featured Marge Simpson’s attempt to make their popular cartoon on the show, Itchy and Scratchy, more morally coded. In other words, her wish was for them to be less abrasive or aggressive. But when the public wanted to hide the nudity of famous works of art, such as Michelangelo’s David, it failed. In 2016, the Russians wanted to achieve the same goal by dressing one of the most famous states.
