As one of the longest-lived animated sitcoms in the United States, The Simpsons seems to have the magic of foreknowledge the future, and several episodes in this divine drama have all happened in the future. According to foreign media statistics, "The Simpsons" successfully predicted the future more than 30 times, the most widely known is the 911 incident, Trump was elected president and Kobe Bryant crashed. And in 2021, it has successfully predicted three major events, let's take a look.
Richard Branson's Space Odyssey
In July 2021, British billionaire Richard Branson flew to the edge of space aboard his virgin Galactic spacecraft, VSS Unity, for a brief space trip. He became the first astronaut to travel to space in his own spacecraft. However, as early as the 15th episode of the 25th season of "The Simpsons", the writers predicted this event.
Second, Ted Cruz runs on vacation
Ted Cruz, a Republican politician from Texas, was blacklisted by the Chinese government as early as 2020 for constantly fabricating rumors involving Hong Kong, Xinjiang and other places in the past few years and interfering in China's internal affairs. In February, Texas lost power due to power outages caused by winter storms, killing millions of people in the cold winter and killing at least 210 people. At this juncture, the Texas senator went on a vacation with his family to Cancun, Mexico's warm tourist city, ignoring the situation in Texas.
Coincidentally, as early as 1993, there was an episode of "Marge In Chains" in "The Simpsons", in which one of the scenes was that the city of Springfield was suffering from epidemics, and the mayor of Springfield was standing on a Caribbean beach dancing in a swimsuit. The two are the same.
3. The first female vice president of the United States
On January 21, 2021, Kamala Harris was formally sworn in as Vice President of the United States. However, she dressed at the ceremony in the same way that Lisa Simpson wore as president in one episode of The Simpsons, with a purple coat and a pearl necklace.
Fans also pointed out that a certain episode of "The Simpsons" in 1996 and mid-2020 predicted the rioters to storm the US Congress early last year, and it seems that the translators are going to hurry to make up for this drama, maybe which episode has the number of this year's lotto lottery, right?
