11 Tragedies Predicted By The Simpsons
The Simpsons is the definition of “pop culture television”, and with those kind of minds at work it is completely reasonable that they would be able to “predict” the future. The weird thing is how accurate it is. Here are just 11 examples of The Simpsons’ predictions.
11. Ebola Outbreak Predicted
In the 1997, Marge holds up a book titled “Curious George and the Ebola Virus.” Then Bart points to a picture he colored in which he is dead. So yeah, The Simpsons predicted the latest Ebola outbreak – or else based the episode on previous Ebola outbreaks that killed hundreds… whichever.
10. 9/11
In the episode “New York City Against Homer,” it seems as though the cartoon’s creators already knew there would be some significance to the whole 9/11 – and it was set in an episode where “against NY” was the pretty much the title… Something to think about.
9. The Simpsons predicts grease thieves
In the episode “Lard of the Dance”, which aired August 23rd 1998, Homer and Bart enter the grease selling business and look to steal it from Springfield Elementary School. Real life parodied this episode where in 2011, the St.Louis Dispatch would report $2000 worth of used grease being stolen from Bobby Tesslers St.Louis Wings Co. in Rock Hill, Missouri.
8. Someone stole the lemon tree
In the 1995 episode “Lemons of Troy”, an episode where kids from Shelbyville stole the prized lemon tree from Springfield depicts the 2013 incident in Houston where someone stole a lemon tree.
7. The Farmville craze
From the 1998 episode “Bart Carny”, one of the displays depicts a game called Yard Work Simulator. Eerily similar to the Facebook game “Farmville” that has plagued our existence.
6. Tiger Mauling Of Siegfried And Roy Predicted
Yes, dealing with tigers is a dangerous thing, and Siegfried and Roy do it constantly. But that doesn’t mean they would inevitable be mauled by a tiger! In 1993 The Simpsons aired an episode in which their version of Siegfried and Roy (Gunther and Ernst) are mauled during a performance. In 2003 it happened to the real pair, well to Roy. Coincidence? Inevitable? Or perhaps Clairvoyant?

5. Wrecking Ball Predicted
Okay… So this might not be a “disaster” per se, it really depends how extreme you are when it comes to pop stars run amuck. Also, one can never know if Homer didn’t predict but rather inspired that music video, back in 1994 when The Simpsons Movie came out. Either way, Homer did it first.
4. Mutant Tomatoes Predicted
Back in 1999 The Simpsons suffered from mutant tomatoes due to the nuclear plant, in 2003 the Japanese found themselves having the exact same problem – mind boggling! Isn’t it? Who knew nature would have adverse reactions to nuclear power plants? But the fact that in both cases it was about tomatoes… that’s the thing to focus on!
3. Horse Meat Scandal Predicted
Before the UK’s Burger King horse meat scandal in early 2013, the Simpsons’ elementary school had already covered it in 1994.
2. Syrian War Predicted
According to an anchor on an Egyptian channel The Simpsons had predicted the Syrian’s resistance flag, which didn’t exist in 2001.
1. Voting Booth Disaster Predicted
In 2008 Homer tried to vote for Obama, but the voting was rigged, much like the real-life event in 2012. This is truly a harsh blow to democracy, which could have easily been avoided if people started paying closer attention to The Simpsons.
