Source: The Simpsons has once again predicted the future, this time with the results of the Winter Olympics Curling.

In a 2010 episode titled ‘Boy meets Curl’,  Homer and Marge take up curling, and they, along with Principal Skinner and his mom, lead the US Team to a gold medal during that year’s games in Vancouver. 

Ironically in that episode, the Simpson’s team beat Sweden, just as the USA did in a shocking upset victory over Sweden in Pyeongchang on Saturday. 

 This isn’t the first time the cartoon, now in its 29th season, has made a joke that turned out to be prescient. 

They ‘predicted’ the Ebola outbreak, Greece’s economic difficulties, and a horse meat scandal. 

Five years before she dove into the NRG Stadium to perform her Super Bowl halftime show, Lady Gaga was the subject of a Simpsons episode called  ‘Lisa goes Gaga’,in which a Gaga like character descends on Springfield to perform 

In 1998, in an episode where Ron Howard wants to direct a movie that Homer wrote, one scene shows the exterior of 20th Century Fox, and on the sign it says ‘a division of the Walt Disney Company’. 

Disney made a deal to acquire 20th Century Fox in December, 2017. 

And in probably the most famous, and most telling coincidence, in  2000, in an episode called ‘Bart to the Future’, Lisa Simpson becomes president, and she ‘inherits quite a budget crunch from President Trump’.  

In a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, writer Don Graeney called the episode a ‘warning to America’, noting that a Trump presidency ‘just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.’

Have you seen the episode from 2012 when the Maple Leafs won the cup in 2018?

In all seriousness, this is some crazy shit. The writers are in 2030 and have been one step ahead for years.

No wonder so many people still watch the show, it helps with the anxiety of the unknown for years to come.

Here’s a summary of 25 things the show has predicted:
