Kamala Harris, the current VP, has a signature look. She will usually wear purple and loves to add a little something special by way of a string pearl necklace. Funny enough, a similar figure was depicted in 2000 on the “Bart to the Future” episode when they travel to see the future. Guess who they see?

In Season 18’s episode “Please Homer, Don’t Hammer ‘Em,” the family is walking through the mall when they see a run-down JC Penny that’s been turned into an old CD store. It clearly didn’t work out for JC Penny in the show OR real life.

In Season 4, there is a new virus spreading around the world starting in Osaka, Japan. It all begins when a worker sneezes into a package that ships to Springfield. Soon, the entire town has the Osaka Flu. Even more, they knock over a truck with the “cure,” only to release killer bees (murder hornets, in modern-day).

In 2007, Lisa Simpson gets in front of the class and gives an emotional speech about the dangers and impact of climate change. In 2019, Greta Thunberg gave a VERY similar speech at only 16 years old.

GoT SPOILER ALERT:

In the last episode of Game of Thrones, Daenerys destroys King’s Landing in its entirety. In 2017, the Simpsons find themselves in a similar situation when they transport to a different reality.

In 1998, Homer decides to become an inventor and figures out how to calculate mass for new particles. Funny enough, their random numbers are almost the same mass for the Higgs Boson particle discovered years later.

Over a decade before Canada legalized marijuana, Ned and Homer go to Canada when a medicine is too expensive in Springfield. Ned gets offered some weed by his Canadian lookalike and “flees,” but the prediction is still there!

This one is a bit of a stretch, but we included it anyway.

Through flashbacks, Homer explains that he always pulls his hair out when he finds out Marge is pregnant. The progression follows Prince Willam and Kate’s three kids nearly spot on.

In the 22nd episode of the 23rd season, Lady Gaga decides to do a concert where she flies over the crowd with a wire. Five years later at her Superbowl performance, things didn’t look all that different! Score another one for the Simpsons!

In season 22, there is a competition to bet on who will win the Nobel Prize. Milhouse selects Bengt Holmstrom to win in economics. You would never believe who won the exact award in 2016.

In 2017, Disney bought 20th Century Fox for $52 billion. Who would have guessed? Oh, the Simpsons back in 1998 when they literally had 20th Century Fox listed as a division of Disney.

Curling (pushing a puck around the ice towards other pucks and somewhere brooms get involved?) is an Olympic sport and was big for the US at the 2018 Olympics. The US ended up beating out Sweden for a win, upsetting the number one team. In 2010, however, Homer and Marge led the team to a win, possibly predicting the future!

In one episode, Lunch Lady Doris tosses a few gym mats into the meat grinder as she’s prepping the school’s daily lunch. Gross, right? Well, not long after, McDonald’s McRib was discovered to have the same material that makes gym mats spongey inside as an ingredient!

We don’t know how, but they did it. In 2000, “President” Lisa Simpson was explaining that they inherited a budget from President Trump. How can we make this stuff up?

Before the Apple Watch was a real thing, the Simpsons had their own smartwatches in 1995. Sorry Apple, you just gotta Think Different.

Saying one thing into your phone and getting another is a real first-world problem, but still one we all experience. The Simpsons knew that someday we’d all be struggling to accurately type in the future!

In season 25, Homer is brought into the FIFA organization to help referee when they fired everyone due to corruption and cheating. Homer ended up calling the World Cup that year and Germany won. In the real world, Germany won the cup the SAME year, and after, FIFA was found guilty of MASSIVE fraud.

Homer’s half-brother, Herb, became rich through an invention that translates baby cries into words. Funny enough, a gag app was created years later called the Cry Translator that did the same thing!

In the episode “Hungry, Hungry, Homer,” Homer moves his baseball team to Albuquerque. They changed their name from the Springfield Isotopes to the Albuquerque Isotopes, as a result.

A year later, the Calgary Cannons relocated and voted on a new team name. Guess what they voted for?

In season 4, Homer tries to sue an all-you-can-eat restaurant for not allowing him to stay and eat. This ended up happening in 2012 and 2017 in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts itself!
