The Simpsons is the most acclaimed animated series in history. Throughout its more than 700 episodes, the yellow family has made generations laugh with its acid humor and social metaphors. But in Springfield, it is not all laughter: as the years go by, people have been noticing a pattern of instances that, when first aired, seemed so far-fetched but turned out to occur in reality. Discover the things The Simpsons predicted that shockingly came true.
A Pandemic of Asian Origin
How not to start with one of the most talked-about scenes throughout the past couple of years? The pandemic departed from China to the whole world in 2019 and the Springfield family had already predicted it in episode 21 of the fourth season.
This prediction was a close one, although not exact. During the episode, the virus originated in the city of Osaka, Japan. But the fast way of spreading and the later on restrictions were accurately predicted. As soon as the international news about the current pandemic aired, fans brought back the images released in 1993.
