before we gets into this video I just
want to let you know that we have an
online magazine called the Thrilla
magazine each month a new episode is
published as filled with all things
paranormal crime horror and mystery for
a free 30-day trial of our online
magazine then check out the link in the
description or in the comment section
below
now let's get into this video as the
longest-running television sitcom in
history spanning 30 years and 600
episodes the Simpsons is known for its
sacrificial commentary on everything
from politics to science the storylines
often include real-life characters and
situations to create some of the most
far-fetched scenarios however
unbelievably several have become a
reality many years later
and while predicting the winners of the
Super Bowl three years in a row may be
considered a coincidence
as they did in 1992 1993 and 1994 other
situations could be seen as outright
prophetic and there are now dozens of
scenarios from The Simpsons that have
come to fruition and although the show's
writers do not claim to be able to see
into the future which of course we all
know is true they do seem to have a
knack for prediction here are five
instances where some of the Simpsons as
most bizarre scenes have actually come
true years later
Canada legalizes marijuana this is the
most recent prediction to prove true
from an episode aired in 2005 midnight
Rx was episode six of the sixteenth
season after mr. burns made cutbacks in
prescription drug benefits a few of the
characters traveled to Canada in pursuit
of cheaper prescription medication while
in Canada they offered marijuana and
told it's legal here hey would you like
to puff on a reefer II know it's legal
here they warned me Satan would be
attractive let's go
however in 2005 despite law enforcement
for marijuana use being lacks it was not
yet legal in fact in 2006 Canada
increased the penalties for large-scale
growers and salads
it wasn't until Justin Trudeau was
elected prime minister in 2015 that
anyone believed it might ever become
legal and true to his word in October
2018 Justin did legalize marijuana in
Canada making them and Uruguay the only
countries in the world that have fully
legalized the consumption and sale of
cannabis Disney's purchase of 20th
Century Fox
while business mergers are a fairly
common occurrence in the 1998 episode
when you dish upon a star which was the
fifth episode of season 10 one scene
featured a sign our the studio
headquarters of 20th Century Fox with a
division of Walt Disney Co scripted
below and the episode featured Hollywood
guest stars Kim Basinger Ike Baldwin and
Ron Howard who all voiced the animated
versions of themselves it's near the end
the episode with a sign on the studio
appears years later in 2017 Disney
purchased 20th Century Fox for an
estimated fifty two billion dollars it's
not clear if that prediction stemmed
from the writing staff or the animators
but it seems ironic for the animation
giant Disney to take over the Simpsons
studio 19 years after the episode
The Shard in the 19th SEPA sewed of
season 6 which aired in 1995 titled
Lisa's wedding The Simpsons family
visited a Renaissance Faire releases
speaks to a fortune-teller who predicts
her future as it will be in 2010 when
she is 23 years old she is told that she
will fall in love with a British student
in the episode she travels to London to
meet the parents of a new love and one
scene shows a then non-existent skyline
including a giant Big Ben with an
out-of-place spire to the left of it
behind Tower Bridge in 1995 London's
real skyline had a twenty four storey
building in that space however it could
not be seen from that angle so it would
have appeared as an empty space
it wasn't until 2003 when pining for the
shard the tallest building in the United
Kingdom and Europe was approved and
construction began in 2009 after
completion in 2012 the 95 storey
building had an appearance that was
eerily similar to what appeared in that
Simpsons episode 14 years earlier 9/11
in 1997 in the first episode of the
ninth season the city of New York versus
Homer Simpson Homer and his friends are
at Moe's bar and Moe informs them that
one of them has to be the designated
driver
Barney ends up driving home his car and
Homer allows him to take it home
assuming that he would return it in the
morning but he doesn't return for two
months and claims he forgot where he
parked it
shortly after Homer receives a notice
from the city of New York that his car
is parked at the World Trade Center and
he has just 72 hours to pick as a before
his disappoint the family decide to go
there to retrieve it Lisa then shows a
magazine with the words New York at the
top and nine dollars right next to an
image of the Twin Towers and it looks
eerily similar to
the episode also features several jokes
about the World Trade Center and
although does not specifically allude to
any terrorist attacks because of course
they would never have known in
retrospect the 9/11 image is just too
eerie to dismiss after the atrocities of
9/11 that episode was pulled from
syndication for several years it's not
what you think here we'll look at two of
the more outlandish so-called
predictions that have since been
logically explained the most famous of
these was from season 11 episode 13
which aired in 2000 titled part of the
future it takes place in 2013 and Lisa
is President of the United States and
she makes the comment we've inherited
quite a budget crunch from President
Trump however this prediction was not
quite so far fetched as Trump had been
publicly talking about running for
president at that time and although I
doubt many believed it would actually
happen and the comment was treated as a
joke it wasn't really a prediction more
of a reflection of how vocal Trump was
at that time about running for president
another so-called prediction that has
since been explained happened in 2001
during the 14th episode of season 12
titled New Kids on the bleach which
unveils Bart's new boy band in the music
video make the band is energy and bombs
are being dropped on men who addressed
as Arabs not but was thought of it until
2014 when a news anchor from Egypt
suggested the flags featured on the side
of bass Jeep in the video was the Syrian
resistance flag which did not exist at
the time the Anka argued that this was
proof of a global conspiracy the not
just overthrow Syria but all Arab
governments and how the current war was
premeditated a decade earlier
it could definitely be seen as more than
coincidence for that particular flag to
be shown as it did resemble the flag
later adopted by the Syrian opposition
however it was a flag that was
previously used by Syria before 1963
this is not to say that a global
conspiracy to overthrow Syria did not
exist but to suggest that the simpsons
predicted it is quite a powerful
assertion and one but I can't imagine
many would believe so that's five times
The Simpsons appeared to have predicted
the future of course this is all just
fun and games and we have no reason to
believe the people behind the Simpsons
can actually predict the future of
course or that they have any prior
knowledge to these things happening
especially 9/11 thanks for watching and
I'll see you in the next video
