The Simpsons has been making us laugh for decades, but what truly sets it apart is its uncanny ability to predict the future. This iconic animated show has often left fans stunned by how closely some of its fictional stories resemble real-life happenings. Let’s take a look at three jaw-dropping The Simpsons predictions for 2025 and how they're lining up with reality.
3 The Simpsons Predictions For 2025
A Possible World War
In the episode Bart to the Future (Season 11, Episode 17), we see Lisa Simpson become President of the United States after Donald Trump’s term. She mentions inheriting a major budget crisis, hinting at strained international relations. The episode subtly references a growing conflict with China, including large national debts and rising tensions. With ongoing global political stress and sensitive US-China relations, some fans believe this episode hinted at the early signs of a possible world war. This prediction feels a bit too close to home in 2025, with the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza and now amidst Iran and Israel, considering the USA has joined the conflict as well.
The Rise Of AI
Them, Robot (Season 23, Episode 17) features Mr. Burns replacing all his employees with robots to cut costs at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. It all goes wrong when the robots become too independent and start causing chaos. Fast forward to today, AI is becoming more powerful and widespread, from ChatGPT to workplace automation. The concerns over job losses and AI ethics echo what the show depicted years ago, making this prediction feel eerily real in the current tech landscape.
VR Headsets
In the 2016 episode Friends and Family (Season 28, Episode 2), Professor Frink introduces virtual reality headsets to Springfield. The town quickly becomes obsessed, escaping to digital worlds. Fast forward to 2025, and Apple’s Vision Pro and other advanced VR headsets are creating buzz worldwide. Just like in the show, VR tech is changing how we interact, work, and even relax. The accuracy of this prediction is hard to ignore.
