We know that The Simpsons make a lot of predictions, leading viewers to wonder if the creators possess the gift of clairvoyance.
With that in mind, internet users are terrified by the show’s predictions for 2025. For example, in the episode Thank God It’s Doomsday, Marge decides to cut the children’s hair, but Bart and Lisa want to go to a trendier salon at the mall.
Despite Marge’s protests, Homer takes them to the new salon, but everything goes wrong when they leave with partially shaved heads. To hide the botched haircut, they go into the cinema to watch the movie Rapture.
The movie, which is about the end of the world, scares Homer, and he starts saying, “The end is near.” Although people believe Homer at first, the apocalypse never comes, and he quickly realizes he got the date wrong, and the apocalypse is still scheduled to happen. Fans speculated that the prediction for the end of the world is for 2025.
Additionally, while the series mentions a possible Third World War several times over the years, one scene in particular from the episode Lisa’s Wedding shows Hugh Parkfield, Lisa’s British fiancé, visiting Moe’s Tavern with Homer and Bart in the future.
Moe recognizes that Hugh is British and tells him that the Americans “saved them in World War II,” to which Hugh replies, “Well, we saved you in World War III,” and Moe simply responds, “That’s true.”
In an episode from 2009 called Treehouse of Horror XX, the world is overrun by zombies. Bart appears to be the only one immune to the virus, so the family rushes to a safe zone to protect him. But in a bizarre twist, the residents of Springfield start to believe that eating Bart could make them immune to the disease.
The episode ends in an even crazier way, with Bart managing to “vaccinate” the population by contaminating their food before they eat it. Most of it is completely surreal, but there are themes that we’ve seen before during the Covid-19 pandemic.
