1
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:24,000
(video clip from The Simpsons)

2
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:28,900
(TV Broadcast of the prevalence of Covid-19)

3
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:34,800
Who among us is great in predicting the future?

4
00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:35,800
Is it the Mayans?(an ancient Maya civilization.)

5
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:37,300
or Nostradamus? (a French astrologer and 
physician.)

6
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,100
or probably the well-known cartoon show, 
The Simpsons?

7
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,600
This cartoon show is not only the longest

8
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:48,200
or the oldest animated sitcom that is broadcasted 
on Television

9
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:52,400
but it is also known as one of the best shows 
of all times.

10
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,700
Aside from its entertaining stories, did 
you know...

11
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,400
that it has also predicted a lot of big events?

12
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:04,500
Many of its stories are seriously terrifying 
because...

13
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:11,500
the details in the show are clear and accurate 
to the events that happened years after in 
real life.

14
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:18,400
In this video, I'll present you the events 
predicted by the cartoon show entitled "The 
Simpsons".

17
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:30,700
And of course, don't forget to like the video.

18
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:36,600
First in our list is when The Simpsons predicted 
the presidency of Mr. Donald Trump in the 
USA.

19
00:01:36,700 --> 00:01:42,000
Many of the scenes of the future shown in 
The Simpsons are unbelievable,

20
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:47,600
however, the presidency of Trump happened 
to be accurate.

21
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:51,400
The character that looks like Mr. Trump is 
shown as the president

22
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:56,600
of the USA in the episode of Bart to the 
Future that is released in year 2000.

23
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:06,900
And after several years, the investor and 
reality TV personality, Donald Trump, won 
the election for presidency in USA.

24
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,300
Because of this event, "The Simpsons" seemed 
to be a fortuneteller.

25
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:17,900
But honestly, there's a possibility that 
the cartoon creators chose

26
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,900
Trump's character to be a president in the 
said episode

27
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,500
is because of the character of Biff Tannen.

28
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,700
Biff Tannen is the antagonist in the Back 
To The Future film

29
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,500
which is inspired in the real-life Donald 
Trump.

30
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,400
The episodes of The Simpsons were usually 
based in some movies,

31
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:39,300
yet, these coincidences are still somehow 
shocking.

32
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,500
Next in our list is about technology...

33
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,200
it is the facetime, or what The Simpsons 
called as "Picture Phones".

34
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:52,100
This episode occured in Season 6: Episode 
19 in year 1995,

35
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,500
and in this scene, Lisa visited a fortuneteller

36
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,200
wherein she was brought 15 years into the 
future.

37
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:05,300
She was talking with Marge using a video 
chat feature of her cellphone

38
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,200
that they used to call a "Picture Phone".

39
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:13,000
If you can remember, we only started using 
this feature in 2010

40
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:18,900
and what's amazing is that it was already 
predicted by The Simpsons in 1995.

41
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:25,000
The next prediction from The Simpsons is 
also from the recently mentioned episode.

42
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:30,900
In this scene, they showed a gadget that 
is similar to a smart watch of the present.

43
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,800
It is shown that Lisa's fiancé is using a 
strange watch to call.

44
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:43,000
And after so many years, Samsung, Apple and 
other brands finally created

45
00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:45,200
their own designs of smart watch.

46
00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:48,600
It was released to the public since 2014

47
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:52,500
and it is still enjoyed by many in the present.

48
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,600
The fourth in our list is the concept of 
the famous GoPro camera

49
00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,400
which is also first showcased in the cartoon 
show.

50
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:05,200
This GoPro is a small camera that can fit 
in a cap, helmet,

51
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:07,200
or anywhere we want to hide.

52
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:12,500
In the Season 5: Episode 13 in year 1994, 
we can see Homer

53
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,200
being included in an investigation where 
he had to use a hidden camera

54
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:21,200
to catch a store that sells expired meat.

55
00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:25,500
The host of Channel 6 Investigative News 
Team, Kent Brockman,

56
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,300
is the one who gave Homer a huge hat with 
a little camera inside.

57
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,200
We all know that only GoPro and action cameras 
will fit in it.

58
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:41,000
After almost 20 years, the GoPro and action 
cameras were finally introduced to the public.

59
00:04:41,100 --> 00:04:43,600
This is the type of cameras to be attached 
to our gears

60
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:48,900
to capture extreme sports and activities 
like swimming,

61
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,300
travelling, biking, and running.

62
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Number 5. If we had mentioned good technologies 
a while ago,

63
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:02,400
The Simpsons also predicted disappointing 
technologies that also happened.

64
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:07,900
In 2008, Season 20: Episode 4, a presidential 
election occurred.

65
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,800
Homer wanted to vote Barack Obama, however, 
the voting machine seemed broken.

66
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:18,500
Four years have passed and in 2012, the same 
incident happened.

67
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,000
It was caught in a video and was posted in 
YouTube that gained million views.

68
00:05:24,100 --> 00:05:29,100
There's an inaccurate touchscreen voting 
machine in Pennsylvania

69
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:35,400
wherein once the voter click Obama's name, 
Mitt Romney's name will appear on the screen.

70
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,800
Number 6. Let's move away from technology.

71
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:43,900
In 2010, The Simpsons also predicted the 
Nobel Prize winner.

72
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000
The Nobel Prize is given to people with great 
contribution

73
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:50,900
to the development of human knowledge.

74
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,100
In Season 22: Episode 1, in a betting game, 
a character named Milhouse

75
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,000
said that Bengt Holmstrom will win the Nobel 
Prize in Economics.

76
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:06,600
After 6 years, Bengt Holmstrong really won 
the Nobel Price in 2016.

77
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:11,200
Number 7. They also predicted something about 
sports.

78
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:18,000
In 2014, FIFA sought help from Homer to restore 
their image.

79
00:06:18,100 --> 00:06:22,900
Together with this, they requested Homer 
to be a referee in the World Cup in Brazil.

80
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
It is shown in this episode that the FIFA 
officials were arrested

81
00:06:27,100 --> 00:06:31,000
for corruption and no name was mentioned 
in the episode. In real life,

82
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:36,300
a year has passed and there was an actual 
corruption occured in FIFA

83
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,100
which includes their confession to corruption 
and accepting bribes.

84
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,900
The Simpsons also foresaw that the Germany 
will win against Brazil in 2014 World Cup 
Finals.

85
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,800
Next in the list is the proof that the creators 
and writers of The Simpsons

86
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:57,500
are also mathematicians. Homer discovered 
the formula of

87
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,100
Higgs Boson's mass before anyone actually 
knew.

88
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,000
For those who didn't know, Higgs Boson is 
also known as the "God particle",

89
00:07:06,100 --> 00:07:08,900
which is the reason why we were made in this 
world.

90
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,200
The God particle was a laughing stock in 
the ancient times because

91
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:17,700
it was extremely impossible for this to exist. 
However, after decades had passed,

92
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,900
science had proven the existence of the "God 
particle".

93
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,600
In 1998, Season 10: Episode 2, Homer became 
an inventor

94
00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:33,200
and in front of him is a chalkboard where 
he was writing a complicated mathematical 
equation.

95
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:40,000
It may be unbelievable but that equation 
predicted the mass of Higgs Boson or "God 
particle".

96
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:44,000
These events are extremely amusing. But did 
you know...

97
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:48,400
that the writers of The Simpsons had a book 
entitled

98
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:51,400
"The Simpsons and their Mathematical Secrets".

99
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:58,800
The 9th in our list is when the Simpsons 
had foreseen Ebola Virus in 1997.

100
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:02,600
In Season 9: Episode 3, it is shown that 
Marge is concerned with Bart

101
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:07,500
who is sick and sad. Marge offered to read 
him a book

102
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,400
and it shows that it is entitled "Curious 
George and the Ebola Virus".

103
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:17,300
This episode became viral in the internet 
as a lot claims that Simpsons foresaw

104
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,200
the occurrence of Ebola outbreak that happened 
in 2014 in America.

105
00:08:22,300 --> 00:08:28,900
Number 10. The show had a prediction about 
the financial crisis faced by Greece.

106
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,700
In Season 23: Episode 10 (2012), Homer appeared 
in the television

107
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,700
as a guest commentator in a program called 
Head Butt.

108
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Look clearly on the headlines appearing on 
the screen,

109
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:43,400
it says that "Europe puts Greece on eBay".

110
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:46,100
After 3 years had passed in real life,

111
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,000
Greece actually experienced an economic crisis.

112
00:08:49,100 --> 00:08:53,000
Number 11 is a horrific event.

113
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:58,700
In Season 5: Episode 10 (1993), where Mr. 
Burn opened a casino,

114
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,000
including two German magicians, Gunther and 
Ernst,

115
00:09:03,100 --> 00:09:06,400
and their longtime running show that ended 
in tragedy

116
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:09,000
wherein they were attacked by their tiger.

117
00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:13,700
Unfortunately, after 10 years in real life, 
Roy Horn who was the

118
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,300
inspiration for Gunther and Ernst in The 
Simpsons,

119
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,000
was also attacked by an animal in Las Vegas.

120
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:26,700
Due to this, some parts of his body were 
paralyzed that brought their 13-year production 
show to an end.

121
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,000
Number 12. Did you know that the acquisition 
of Fox Ent. by Disney were also predicted 
by The Simpsons?

122
00:09:32,100 --> 00:09:35,700
It can be seen in Season 10: Episode 5 (1998) 
that

123
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,600
Director Howard gave Homer's screenplay to 
producer Brian Grazer

124
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:44,700
of 20th Century Fox. That's why if you look 
clearly

125
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:49,600
at what is written on the signage. It is 
seen that the poster of 20th Centure Fox 
has

126
00:09:49,700 --> 00:09:52,900
"A Division of Walt Disney Company".

127
00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,500
And after almost 20 years, the Disney and 
Fox deal was confirmed at 50 billion dollars.

128
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,400
Lastly, The Simpsons predicted in 9/11/1997

129
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:10,000
and actually happened in 2001. For those 
who don't know about 9/11,

130
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:15,200
it is the day of the horrible terrorism in 
America.

131
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:19,600
Some of the YouTube users discovered the 
hints.

132
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:24,700
In Season 9: Episode 1, an advertisement 
of bus ticket to New York is shown.

133
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:29,600
A ticket has a value of 9 dollars that is 
near the image of the shadows

134
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:32,300
of two tall buildings that looks like number 
11.

135
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,800
If we're going to read, we'll see "New York, 
9 & 11",

136
00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:41,200
which is the same date and place where the 
terrorism happened.

137
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:44,000
So, here's where the video ends.

138
00:10:44,100 --> 00:10:49,000
Once again, thank you so much and now taking 
a leave, Dokumentador. (See you again!)
