The Simpsons have done it again: When animated jokes become reality
The show The Simpsons has become notorious for some of its episodes and jokes becoming eerily accurate. And now, they've apparently foretold the launch of Apple Vision Pro...
The Simpsons, the iconic animated series that has long been a fixture of pop culture, has garnered a reputation for its uncanny ability to predict future events. Created by Matt Groening, this show has become infamous for its episodes and jokes that seem to foreshadow real-life occurrences with unsettling accuracy, leading some to ponder whether it's tapping into a bizarrely accurate form of "prophecy."
This phenomenon appears to have struck again with a remarkable twist. A 2016 episode, titled 'Friends And Family,' eerily anticipated recent events. Since the debut of Apple's Vision Pro headset on February 2, 2024, users have been eagerly sharing videos and images of their experiences with the $3,500 device on social media. In a striking parallel, this mirrors a 2016 episode where the Simpsons family experiments with a virtual headset created by the character Mr. Burns, eventually leading to a montage of Springfield residents engaging in virtual reality activities. Among the scenes are Homer and Marge virtually kissing, Principal Skinner having a virtual picnic, and Moe the bartender walking into a lamppost.
The resemblance is particularly haunting in a recent clip posted on X, where a man wearing the headset is seen crossing a street in California, hands raised and seemingly interacting with digital elements, almost mirroring the surreal moments depicted in that Simpsons episode.
