STOP saying The Simpsons can predict the future!

Simpsons predicted this video

the simpsons did accurately predict that there will still be daytime and nighttime in the future

the corona virus one is so annoying. it's just the concept of a pandemic, a thing that had existed for (checks notes) millennia at that point, and has often been the subject of popular media also many times when people say some media predicted something it's because the writers looked at current trends or events and extrapolated them, they didn't just pull the idea out of thin air. like if you fall out of a plane and you predict that you will hit the ground it's not exactly shocking when you are right

It’s literally gotten to the point where Disney Plus is capitalizing on it with a “Simpsons Predict” playlist full of episodes mentioned in these articles.

Bruh, we got so deep into trump's 2000 candidacy and the reform party... that I forgot this was a video about the simpson's

I mean, to be fair, "374088 times The Simpsons didn't predict the future" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

“Simpsons predicted COVID!” No. Back when the episode aired, the world wasn’t even dealing with the SARS virus back when the episode was written which lasted from 2002 to 2004! So, I did research and the episode in question aired in 1993. The following outbreaks occurred around the time of the episode airing. 1984 Western Sahara plague 1986 Oju yellow fever epidemic 1987 Mali yellow fever epidemic 1991 Bangladesh cholera epidemic 1991 Latin America cholera epidemic

"Simpsons predicted..." has become a rival to "it's that a motherf*cking jojo reference"

The Simpsons predictions arent even accurate. Do you remember when they predicted lisa will get engaged in 2010 and 2010 came and she was still an 8 year old

These predict the future type things have happened in other circumstances besides the Simpsons. The one that always got me was how some people claim that Lincoln and Martin Luther King must have been psychic because they had dreams about their own assassinations. People who believe this fail to put it in context. These two men were receiving death threats on a daily basis. Their dreams weren't predictions of the future, they were their minds trying to cope with the reality of what they were experiencing in their lives. I'd question their sanity if they weren't having dreams under those circumstances. The fact that these two men continued to do what they did dispite the danger they were in shows what truly great men they were.

The one prediction that always pissed me off when I saw it was when they "predicted" the Pokemon GO craze, and their proof was an image of a picture of a phone showing a Pikachu. It was the most obviously faked image I've seen but the amount of times people posted it on twitter saying it was real just annoyed me SO much

I had no idea Trump ran for president in 2000.

It always annoyed me when I saw the escalator hoax because you can clearly tell by the animation style it wasn’t made in 2000.

I liked the time I saw a response to the "Simpsons predicting the future" stuff that said, "The Simpsons aren't predicting the future, we just haven't improved American society since 1989." And how true it is.

I call it “The Onion” syndrome, where reality’s such an idiot that we somehow go the most idiotic direction every time.

Homer: farts Someone irl: farts People: holy sh*t, the Simpsons predicted that!

Chocolate themed amusement park?! Thats not a prediction. Here in PA hershey park has been open for like 60 years.

Character in the Simpsons: breaths Person in real life: breaths Media: THE SIMPSONS PREDICT PEOPLE BREATHING!!!

Man I’m really glad that there’s people out there that make content like this. I really was under the impression that the Simpsons was on some wizard shit. Having a video that puts together evidence this well and makes such well educated arguments really makes me happy and fascinated. Good job JJ, this isn’t the first vid of yours that has educated me and made great points that stayed in my head. Love your stuff, you got a supporter!
