Do we still need to introduce these strange yellow men ? It will be four decades since The Simpsons has delighted viewers all over the world. The writers' anticipations have often been cited as examples to the point that the expression: “The Simpsons predicted it” has become increasingly common. Let's take advantage of this article to look back at four brilliant prophecies from the series available on Disney+. (Warning, the following reveals some major spoilers for some episodes).
The end of Game of Thrones anticipated
The conclusion of the HBO series disappointed many viewers. In the first episode of season 29, The Simpsons parodies the universe of George R. R. Martin and we see a dragon annihilate a village after Homer revives it.
Many saw it as a foreshadowing of the moment when Daenerys Targaryen burned King's Landing even though the inhabitants had surrendered. Enough to make you think that the series anticipated the fact that this character would turn into a villain.
The election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
In a special episode published on YouTube in 2019, we can see a passage where different American politicians participate in a singing competition. The images show us a duo on stage: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. What is disturbing is that this duo was absolutely not formed during this broadcast. The two were even rivals during the Democratic primary.

In episode 15 of season 2, Homer meets his half-brother, who happens to be the head of a major American car manufacturer. The latter offers to create the car of the future. The result is a vehicle that costs the crazy sum of 82 dollars and is very ugly.

Some have seen a resemblance to Tesla's Cybertruck, presented by Elon Musk as a futuristic model. Of course, we will not settle the debate here and there is no accounting for taste.
Space tourism
During the 15th episode of season 5, Homer takes a space trip. At the time, this seemed rather improbable, but it has since become clear that the idea of space tourism is no longer so far-fetched for those who can afford it.
