To be fair, you can’t really say The Simpsons predicted the smart, watch and video phone I mean they’ve had that shit on Star Trek, the Jetsons and other media before the Simpsons I think we all knew it was an inevitability
UPDATE: The Simpsons correctly predicted what day 2 teams would face off in the NCAA tournament. In a 2015 episode called "Every Man's Dream", there's a scene that takes place on March 31st, and Homer is wearing a Duke T-shirt, and holding an N.C. State flag. 9 years later in 2024, Duke and N.C. State faced off in the NCAA tournament on March 31st. WILD!!!
Simpsons have done it again... Remember the Baby Translator ?! (Season 3 Episode 24). Now there's an app that translate the babies' cries using AI (Baby Cry Insights it's called). What's next, a dog translator ? Was there one in the Simpsons? if not it won't happen ha!🤣
Dogs are smart enough to get their needs met.. cats though..? Are you hungry, do you want to go outside, do you want to be pet, do you want to be crowned king of the universe? Nobody knows, it all sounds the same
They didn't, the situations are completely different, the only thing similar is the submersible and even that was different, the Simpsons one is well built.
It's almost as if WatchMojo is using the recent situation that's still in the headlines for their benefit. I mean, they used it in the thumbnail as clickbait. Feels as flimsy at a prediction as it does exploitative.
1 . Legal Reeferino in Canada Season 16, Episode 6 Homer and Ned in Midnight Rx in The Simpsons The 2005 episode "Midnight Rx" sees Ned tagging along with Homer and Grampa's smuggling trips to Canada to get medicine for his own kids. Ned meets his Canadian counterpart and quickly learns they're very different when he's offered a "reeferino," since it's legal in that country. Thirteen years later, in 2018, recreational marijuana became legal in Canada. While Ned likely won't be making any trips back with Apu, Homer, and Grampa, it's good to know he was at least at the center of one of the coolest things Simpsons predicted. 2. Tom Hanks Endorses the US 'The Simpsons Movie' (2007) Tom Hanks in The Simpsons Movie with the a father, girl, and boy standing over the Grand Canyon in the backgroundImage via 20th Century Fox In The Simpsons Movie (2007), actor Tom Hanks made a cameo appearance during a commercial scene that the Simpsons were watching. During the commercial, a father took his two children to see the Grand Canyon, but his daughter was unimpressed by the landmark and requested for there to be a new Grand Canyon. Next, Hanks enters the scene stating that the "US government lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine." In 2022, one year after President Joe Biden's presidency, Hanks appeared in the commercial stating the Americans' determination as they endured economic hardships caused by the COVID19 Pandemic. The video focused on America's theme of rebuilding its economy and highlighting the successes of Biden's administration so far.
One of the Simpsons writers was a time traveller that got trapped in the past. Got a part time job in Fox and like many of us who always had the urge to inform others of what we know, he discreetly showed the future in his job.

For number 2, about Trump's Presidency, it's worth to note that Trump tried to run for president, or atleast hinted at the idea for the 2000 election. While it still is wild he did become president in 2016, it is intended to reference those events near 2000.
Please tell me that you've watched the Simpsons DVD with the commentary on? The writers and producers are brilliant. I have the first 7 seasons. They talk about movie references they often use like Citizen Kane, Godfather and Hitchcock films. James Brooks, Al Jean, John Vitti, Mike Reiss, David Silverman, Mark Kirkland and others are something special.
I think that because of the amount of time between the "prophecy"and the actual event, it may be that they unexpectedly gave people the desire to do the action the show predicted.
@@gordo1191 not exactly what I was thinking, but more like the desire to go down deep in the ocean, and explore, and it turned into a disaster because of an incompetent buffoon who didn't know that submarines need to be bolted together as well as bonded and welded.
it had manyyyyyy episodes and 30 things matching can either be sheer coincidence or the makers researched alot about what future looks for humans and tried to add them to their content
The sad truth is, it's not all so accurate. The thing is, there were "smart watches" in movies long before the Simpsons. Just think about Knight Rider. Videophoning in TV since 50s like Star Trek (60s) The submarine accident in the simpsons is far far from the implosion of the Titan, however it's similar to a submarine accident at Titanic back in 2000. If the episode was aired before 2000 it can be a "predictions" if not, it happened long after a similar accident.
Well, when a show reaches the 100,000 episode mark, it’s inevitable that some predictions will occur. Besides, video phones were predicted in 2001 A Space Odyssey in 1968, and the original Star Trek predicted the flip phone even earlier than that. The show Star Trek: TNG predicted smart tablets. There are tons more. Still, the Simpsons does have a knack for making weird but accurate predictions.
'The Simpsons': 31 Times the Fox Comedy Successfully Predicted the Future. From Super Bowl winners to Trump's presidency, the long-running animated series has an uncanny knack for foretelling events.
Outside the fact that it's a submarine and it gets in an accident, I don't see much connection between the episode and the Titan accident. I feel like that's an example of people looking for any connection
It is the year 10,501 AD and even to this day, we are still finding Simpsons predictions. One wonders just how much futuristic knowledge the writers must have had in such a primitive time, and how they came to acquire it.
I love how they say "In 2023, the Titan Submersible disappeared" as if all of this didn't go down a week ago. I get for future viewers that would be helpful and make sense, but for the sake of this coming out a week after they found the debris, it's quite weird watching it now
It's more of an example of the "Infinite Monkey Theorem"...which basically states that so long as anything has a non-zero probability, no matter how infinitesimally small that probability is, it will inevitably become a certainty with sufficient trials. After 750 episodes over 34 seasons, "The Simpsons" has had to come up with so much material that by sheer probability at least some of them would come true.
Dont you think, that there is a huge difference, between some event shown in span of 750 episodes and an actuall infinity? With that level of accuracy, and considering the fact that its not a single prediction but a lot of them, its not really example of that theorem...
@@roland1278 Not really. The actual "monkeys typing Shakespeare" is an extreme example since the probability of that is infinitesimally small. By comparison, most "predictions" in "The Simpsons" were made based off of satire of real life, which already has a much higher probability. Just look at Babylon Bee. If "The Simpsons" can really "predict the future", then you could argue the Babylon Bee are downright time travelers. Plus, that's only looking at the positive correlation. How many "predictions" have "The Simpsons" made over the years that HAVEN'T come true?
3:57 OK, wow....this is the first time I've seen video of that... I'm a retail engineer. All of my touch screen experience is with Verifone pinpads and NCR XR series integrated display POS systems, but I take one look at that video and thought "that's a calibration issue." Happens all the time. Windows itself is capable of calibrating touch screen devices (if a touch device is connected to the machine a Touch Screen applet will show up in Control Panel) or a separate calibration utility is provided. It's not until now that I realized this "votes cast for the wrong candidate" controversy was a big nothing-burger.
i have seen too many people talking about how the simpsons predicted the future, and i have to say, in some cases i can believe that in others it was just a coincidence or the joke was meant for some thing that happened recently or was a complete parody of a movie trope, the only reason people satrted calling the predcitions, was because the simpsons made a joke about an injury ocurring on the fifa world cup, and later the injury did happen, after that it went out of control
Yk my teachers always said no small maned sub could go to the titanic AND THEY WAS RIGHT also THOSE RICH SNOBS KEPT IT AWAY FROM US GOD DANGET NO FAIR!!!!
This is said from one of the writers of The Simpsons "when a show is there for so long time and in every episode we are trying to make a satire on social structure, some of the things are bound to come true. Because most of the stuff we are writing are plausible"
That disaster literally just happened. Nice thumbnail Those poor people's families, hopefully won't stumble across your video so soon after that event.
I liked the time Simpsons predicted the thing that was already widely known at the time, oh and who could forget the time where they predicted an an outcome for an event that was likely to occur at some point in time! WOW
Smart watches and tablets have always been shown off as "Future Tech" We saw it on Startrek, Flinstones, and Jetsons The simpsons writers are into maths, so they have added several math jokes into the show
The thing that happens in the episode has nothing to do with what happened to Ocean gate. Homer gets stuck and gets low on oxygen. This is a troll post.
They always involve respiratory issues or failure. Covid. Mold. That’s recent case with Maya Kowalski being ketamine comaed for 5 days intubated. They mask us up because our gross “emissions” are so CONTAGIOUS to all life and each other! Gross. And obviously our GIANT carbon (once described as helping the trees and flies and fauna thrive! As we need it’s exhales of hydrogen. Is everything just a script to get us doing one thing until they have to mock us or kill us with shame to start the next? I’m sad it was all lies. Really. Something about
Does anyone remember "Worst Episode Ever?" The episode where Comic Book Guy had a heart attack, and Bart and Milhouse cover for him at the Android's Dungeon? There's a scene where the two boys rummage through his "hidden stash", and find a copy of the "good version" of The Godfather Part III. In 2020, Paramount Pictures released The Godfather Coda, which was reedited to be better than the original.
My surprising simpsons Prediction is The curling episode when USA wins over Sweden The episode is from 2010 but 9years later is come true As Swed des is relly surprising to me 😎😮🤯🇸🇪
they didn't the osaka flu as they called it in the show comes from japan not china and it's based of the hong kong flu that was a pandemic in 1968 and ended in 1969 the writers of that episode got the idea from a book that had other major viruses
The Simpsons "predictions" are never very mind-blowing or far-fetched. They're either small coincidences, or things that anyone with a little more than half a brain paying attention to the world, current events and pop culture saw coming a mile away.
there one scene that scare me and it was when many people start going missing and there was a mother with 2 child saying she about to bring 1 of the child to baptize when suddenly it gone missing leave the other one. as if someday the one that live on earth was only bad people 😱
The Simpsons is perhaps a show created under the guise of entertainment, but really are very intellectually advanced people, maybe not even human, or future humans, predicting everything leading to the rapture. They are so smart only those who aren’t brainwashed by the government can see, that’s why they crack down on conspiracy theories. Heck! It’s even in the name SIMpsons, they’re revealing to us we’re living in a simulation through subliminal messaging, but not one God controls, but the very evil elites that control the entire system of the world that covers up mass murder calling the fire at Hawaii “climate change”, and people fall for it. They foolishly put their trust more in government than in God. They predicted the Maui fires as well with a DEW (Direct Energy Weapon) aka laser that destroys the city except for blue umbrellas.
The people on the titan were only killed just over a week ago !!! Your pretty sick in the head to include this so soon ,you should be ashamed Watch mojo 😠
