The Simpsons is famous for many predictions that came true, which has become a popular internet phenomenon due to its long run and satirical take on current events. Some of the most famous predictions include Donald Trump becoming President, in the 2000 episode Bart to the Future where Lisa becomes president and mentions we inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump, 16 years before Trump was elected in 2016. Another is the Siegfried and Roy tiger attack, predicted in 1993 episode where tiger attacks magicians, which happened in 2003. The show predicted smartwatches in 1995 episode Lisa's Wedding, video calls and FaceTime in 1995, and autocorrect fails. It predicted the Higgs boson particle equation in 1998 episode The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace, years before its discovery in 2012. It predicted Disney buying Fox, in 1998 episode When You Dish Upon a Star where a sign says 20th Century Fox, a division of Walt Disney Co., which happened in 2019. It predicted the Ebola outbreak, the horse meat scandal, Lady Gaga's Super Bowl performance with flying, and the US winning Olympic gold in curling. The show also predicted the 9/11 memorial, the Game of Thrones finale twist, and the rise of online video editing. Many predictions are coincidental due to 700 plus episodes, but fans love compiling them, making The Simpsons known as a modern Nostradamus.
