The Simpson Did It Again

The Simpsons predictions have become famous for their ability to foresee future events with surprising accuracy. Some of the most notable examples include Donald Trump's election as President of the United States, the Ebola pandemic, and the Titan submarine incident. These coincidences have sparked great interest among fans and the media, with many wondering how a cartoon could predict the future.
According to Al Jean, one of the show's producers, The Simpsons' predictive ability is a combination of the series' longevity and sheer coincidence. With over thirty years of episodes, it's likely that some of the fictional plots may mirror real-life events that subsequently occur [5].

Some of the most famous "predictions" include:

Donald Trump's election: Predicted in the episode "Bart to the Future" (2000), where Lisa Simpson becomes President of the United States and succeeds Trump [4].
Ebola epidemic: In a 1997 episode, Marge shows Bart a book titled "Curious George and the Ebola Virus" [6].
Titan submarine: In an episode, the characters find the remains of a sunken ship, reminiscent of the Titan submarine incident in 2023 [3].
These coincidences have helped solidify The Simpsons' reputation as an almost "prophetic" series
