Yeah, the tiger attack was less of a prediction and more of The Simpsons stating the obvious

[crimsonmoonrise]

I think Lady Gaga was inspired to make the outfit in real life.

Small detail, but "Lisa's Wedding" also predicted that The Rolling Stones would still be touring/performing in 2010.

[jocklazer]

I’m convinced the writers either have a secret Time Machine or way to time travel they won’t disclose or they can see into the future or are prophets

The smart watch and video phone have been in scifi for decades
Duck Tracy comics ftom WWII even have him using a smart watch

[Ishtarru]

Please. A tiger turning on the people exploiting it is not that surprising.

[GachaReact]

In case no one knows what a 'Heel Turn' means, it's someone who goes from good, to bad.

Simpsons by no means predicted smart watches and video calling that was Star Trek and The Jetsons.

Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!
Simpsons did it!

🔮 Mind-blowing how accurate these predictions are! 📺

[THANATOS-PRIME]

At this point, I’d be interested and somewhat scared to ask Matt Groening if he knew what my future would be.

Simpsons is more accurate than any fortuneteller.

[Prkwon]

I dont think mr burns knew what sideburns are...😂

[tmacm]

Trump added 8.4 trillion dollars to the deficit. So that part was true as well.

[moose]

"Lisa Goes Gaga" is also ranked as the absolute WORST episode of The Simpsons.

[Jeremiah_Rivers]

The faulty voting machine opening was a clever prediction.

[Somerandomnobodyonyoutube]

I wouldn't say a tiger attacking a man is "surprising"

[mundaneamazing]

Guys.. The Simpson has been on for decades, they have covered every pop culture topic, and sometimes people get ideas from the show.. There's nothing mystical about it.

[Jonas-ljul]

Silly Simpsons... if Homer fell on Alec Baldwin, wouldn't he have gotten shot?

[irawilliams]

Matt Groening clearly is hiding some sort of time machine that helps him in writing these episodes
