The Simpsons are one of the most beloved adult animated sitcoms out there. It was made by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company.

The show commentates on the condition of life in America, and it often manages to present stark realities humorously through the Simpson family. Homer, Marge, Bart, Maggie, and Lisa are based on stereotyped American personalities, and together, the family manages to represent the essence of the American culture.

The Simpsons have always been deeply rooted in the American culture, and sometimes, they manage to predict events that not even the craziest conspiracy theorists consider possible. The creators of the show have often been called time travelers and members of the Illuminati due to their uncanny ability to predict the future. Here is a list of 12 times the Simpsons freaked us out by correctly predicting the future.
