The latest prediction from The Simpsons is remarkably accurate, to the point of being slightly embarrassing. It has become commonplace for the long-running animated show to make predictions, prompting the show's executive producers and writers to downplay their ability to foresee future events. However, there are instances where The Simpsons' predictions are too specific to dismiss. One recent example occurred when a mockup for a Telsa bed closely resembled Kirk Van Houten's apartment from The Simpsons season 8, episode 6, titled "A Milhouse Divided." This coincidence left a Twitter user, The Cola Corporation, astonished. See the tweet below:
In the tweet, the user shares a screenshot from the episode and quotes the mock-up bed, comparing the two images and writing: "Holy sh--t they actually did it."
The Simpsons Predictions Can Get Really Specific
The Simpsons have demonstrated their uncanny ability to make accurate predictions once again, this time in April 2023. In an episode from the show's fifth season in 1994, titled "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy," the show depicted a scene where Kent Brockman, a local news anchor, becomes enthralled by the release of a new Malibu Stacy doll, almost ignoring the news of the President's arrest on murder charges. This parallel was strikingly similar to the occurrence of viral Barbie movie posters on the same day as Donald Trump's arrest, which garnered even more attention in certain online communities.
The Simpsons have made impressive predictions, such as their mention of the current controversy surrounding Michelangelo's nude Statue of David, more than three decades ago. They have also mentioned other things ahead of their time, including smartwatches, the Biden-Harris election victory, the Horse Meat scandal, and apps like FaceTime. While some of these predictions are fairly general and have been mentioned in old sci-fi stories, it is still surprising when The Simpsons get specific. Al Jean, a member of the show's original writing team, had a measured response when asked about the show's predictive powers in a 2021 interview. He acknowledged that with over 700 episodes aired, it was inevitable that they would get some things right. However, the list of their accurate predictions continues to grow, now including the uncanny resemblance of a Tesla-inspired car bed.
