The character in the episode depicts almost exactly what Gaga was doing in her Superbowl performance. Levitated over the crowd in a similar looking silver outfit. Gaga’s actual performance was in 2017.

In season 11 episode 17 Bart to the Future once again they predict another event, Donald Trump’s presidency. This episode was aired in 2000 and President Trump was elected in 2016. The episode depicts Bart one of the characters traveling to the future to find his sister, Meg as president having trouble fixing the United States after her predecessor Donald Trump. Strangely enough the episode also depicts a scene of Donald Trump on an escalator waving to people around him and then showing a thumbs up, and that exact same depiction came true once again, Donald Trump doing the exact same pose on an escalator. 

1. Auto Correct

Season 6 episode 8 Lisa on Ice in 1994 way before auto corrected our texts, leading to some pretty weird text fails.

In the episode the workers packing the juicer says, “Please don’t tell the supervisor I have the flu.” Once the packages are sent a virus goes around the town. Although The Simpsons didn’t predict the severity of the Coronavirus, fans believe that it is linked, because the virus in the show shut down schools and was a “pandemic” in the city the characters lived in, creating a suspicious link between the two viruses. 

1. Kobe Bryant’s Death 

In the same episode involving the Coronavirus, Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter was also predicted in 1993. As the virus is spreading a helicopter crashes into a building and the news reporter explains that the helicopter was “going around and around,” similar to the way the reporter described Bryant’s accident. Bryant’s jersey was in the building that the helicopter crashed making fans believe that the crash and Bryant’s jersey signifies Bryants accident that occurred in 2020.
