So we all know The Simpons has been known to predict the future.
From predicting Donald Trump as the next American president back in 2000, to predicting super
bowl half time shows, it makes you wonder how are they doing it.
Well hows it going you guys I am your host for this one, Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome
back to another most amazing top 10 video.
Lets just jump right into this one, this is the top 10 simpsons predictions that came
true.
Lets have fun with this one.
Starting us off at number 10, we have when the Simpsons predicted that Canada would legalize
weed.
This production came from a 2005 episode during its 16th season on the simpsons where the
Canadian version of Flanders offered weed to the American version Watch.
Back in 2005 it seemed very un-likely that any country would legalize such a drug.
Uruguay was the first country in the world to legalise the sale of cannabis for recreational
use and that wasn’t until 2003.
Canada is only the second country to follow Uruguay to legalize weed.
So back in 2005 that was a very bold accusation by the Simpsons to make.
I was doing re-search to see if any other countries legalized weed and reading about
Netherlands was pretty interesting.
And tell me if I am wrong.
Apparently Cannabis in the netherland is illegal.
Recreational consumption of the drug is tolerated though and you can buy some at coffee shops.
It just seems like in the Netherlands so many people smoke weed that the cops just don’t
have the man power to arrest everyone so they usually don’t arrest people anymore as long
as you only have a little bit of it.
Something like 5grams.
But if a police officer wants they can confiscate it.
Not sure if they would ticket you and pretty sure you wouldn’t be arrested.
Alright number 9.
The Simpsons predicted Toys R Us shutting down.
It was funny to show people the store is closed they simply turned the R the other way.
ya that was my reaction when I heard Toys R Us was shutting down, I was pretty sad about
it.
but for some reason Toys R us in Canada are still around.
Toys R Us has been around for over 70 years since the 40s which sucks that its our technology
lazy generation that is getting big companies like this shut down.
People can just order on Amazon and Online now.
I actually miss Block Buster’s where you can go into the store and go to the new release
section and pick out your movies now I just sit in front of Netflix all day just trying
to pick what I want to watch.
Going back to Toys R Us they the companys North American operations filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy production back in 2017.
In 2018 they added there British operations into that as well.
Earlier on this year they announced that Toys R Us will be shutting down all of its U.S
and British stores.
I think by now most of them have been shut down.
At number 8 some how the Simpsons predicted the Nobel Prize winner.
Milhouse is a peer genius and a physic because he predicted the winner of the Nobel Prize
back in 2010 which is 6 years before Holmstrom won.
Holmstrom won the 2016 nobel prize in economics for work on contact theory and how to evaluate
whether things should be government run or privately owned.
Number 7.
Back in 1998 in the Simpsons Episode Lard of the dance you can see Homer and Bart Simpon
decided to recycle grease for money.
So after Homer found out that grease can be sold for money in started his own operation.
Well this actually became reality years later.
In fact 15 years later people were caught stealing grease from restaurants in order
to make money.
Listen to this.
Is this real life right now.
Who the heck is buying restaurant grease.
Apparently you can actually use grease to run your car instead of gas.
So with the gas prices going up in New York people started stealing cooking grease.
Just when you thought you’ve heard it all.
The Simpsons predicted the Rollings Stones will be on tour in 2010 during a 1995 episode.
This bold prediction that came true is at number 6.
During the episode titled Lisas wedding there was a scene where she was laying in bed and
beside her was this rolling stones poster.
It said steel wheel chair tour 2010.
did you guys see it.
The rolling stones have had an incredible run they have been touring since 1962.
They are actually still touring today on there no filter tour.
There doesn’t seem to be any slowing down.
During the 2010 Simpsons episode it looked like they were done touring after there successful
bigger bang tour.
At the time it was the highest grossing tour of all time earing over 550 million dollars.
Just when it seems like the rolling stones are done touring they toured again 5 years
later just like the Simpsons predicted.
The legendary mc Jagger is 75 yrs old and hes still very active, and his current tour
will end in june of 2019.
The drummer for the roling stonres Charles Robert Watts is 77 yrs old and hes still beating
the drums.
The 3 eyes fish prediction that came true is at number 5.
that was one of the earliest episodes.
That was episode 17 season 2 when Bart caught the 3 eyes fish.
Little did we know years later this would be reality.
21 yrs after the episode aired a fishermen in Argentina caught a three- eyes wolf fish.
Here is a picture of it.
it was caught in a reservoir near a local nuclear power plant.
So that explains a bit.
The rishement caught the fish in the dark and didn’t realize its third eye until he
looked at the fish with a flash light and he was shocked.
He thought he caught a rare specimen but it was just a fish that was affected by exposure
to the water from the nuclear power plant.
This fish mutated kinda creepy.
The simpsons called it.
even in the episode you can see the powerplant.
And this made headline news in springfield just like it made it into the news in real
life.
Number 4, the Simpson predicted face time years before face time was a thing.
Take a look at this picture right here this was from the Lisa’s wedding episode on the
simpsons that aired back in 1995.
This was 12 years before I phones or smart phones even came out.
The Simpsons predicted that one day people will be able to communicate through a video
on there phones.
Marge simpson is seen here in a video on one of those really old phones.
You know the phones you had to put your fingers in the wholes and spin the dial thing around,
I’ve seen it once at a museum and at my grandmas house when I was younger.
Skype didn’t even come out till 2003 so having a video phone call with someone was
just un-heard of.
The Simpsons are for sure well ahead of there time.
Now in at number 3 we have the Simpsons Predicting Guitar hero.
Take a look at this picture right here.
This was aired in 2002.
You can see Mick Jagger and Keith Richards giving homer simpson a jacket that has Guitar
hero printed on the back of it.
3 years after the episode aired.
Guitar hero actually came out.
I don’t know if the name of the game was inspired by the simpsons buts its really weird.
that was actually one of the advertisments for Guitar hero.
I remember when this game came out it was so sick.
I got kinda good at the guitar but than I stopped because the songs got to repetitive.
I don’t even know if they still produce newer guitar heros.
Roys tiger attack is next up at number 2.
We hate to see this next one.
that aired during the 5th season.
Well 10 yrs after that episode in 2003 this happened.
so during a show it was said that Roy was attacked by his own tiger just like the simpsons
predicted.
Well there is actually an update on this story.
Roy spoke about what happened 11 yrs after the tiger attack.
Roy who is a german- American is a magician and entertainer who works with his partner
Siegfriend.
There are videos online of the tiger attack during of his shows but everything wasn’t
what it seems.
So Roy actually passed out on the ground and the tiger notice Roy not moving so the tiger
grabbed Roy by his throat like tigers do with there cubs to try and help him.
Lets here Roy himself tell the rest of the story.
so when everyone thought the tiger attacked Roy, the tiger actually saved his life.
Doctors said if it wasn’t for relieving the pressure in his head, Roy would have been
in a vegtable state.
So crazy.
So I guess the simpsons half predicted this one.
Finally at number 1 we have the Donut Shaped universe theory.
How the heck did the Simpsons predict this one.
Imagine they also predicted the flat earth theory as well.
So it was Homer Simpson that came up with the donut shaped earth theory.
It was amazing seeing Stephen hawking making another appearance on the simpsons.
He has made many of them.
Well there you guys have thanks so much for watching I will see you guys all in the next
most amazing top 10 video.
