Simpsons 2016 Episode Predicts The Future of VR Headsets
Popular American animated Sitcom The Simpsons, known for its ability to predict real-life events, has struck again! And, this time, its the Tech Giant’s latest Headsets- Apple Vision Pro.
In the episode “Friends and Family,” Mr. Burns hires the Simpsons to test a new virtual reality headset, which bears a striking resemblance to the Apple Vision Pro. The plot unfolds with amusing sequences of various characters in Springfield using the technology for different purposes. The episode marches further making a mockery of the VR headsets. Furthermore, it gives a glimpse of the potential aftereffects of the device. Principal Skinner has a virtual picnic, the bartender Moe walks into a lamppost, and Homer and Marge lie in bed virtually kissing each other. Eventually, all the characters in Springfield have access to the technology, with each character using the headset for different reasons.
Have a look at the episode from the show below.

While Homer’s shenanigans provided plenty of laughs, little did viewers know that they were getting a sneak peek into the future of this technology.
This striking similarity has left netizens baffled and amused in equal measure. As videos and clips of people using the Apple Vision Pro in public continue to go viral, the connection to “The Simpsons” prediction has only added to the craze.
What else has The Simpsons Predicted?
While skeptics may dismiss it as mere coincidence, the parallels between “The Simpsons” prediction and Apple’s latest offering are hard to ignore. While this is not the first time the show has seemingly predicted the future – and it likely won’t be the last! The iconic show is in its 35th season and has a history of foretelling the events before they occurred in real time.
From predicting the Super Bowl winners, Donald Trump winning the US presidency to the tragic 9/11 attacks and FIFA Corruption Scandal, this future predicting show makes it hard to believe in coincidences.
Ted Cruz’s escape to Mexico during a natural disaster, Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the deadly Ebola virus outbreak, the advent of smartwatches and FaceTime, and the list of events goes on.
People speculate that the show writers either have a time machine or some supernatural powers otherwise how else can someone predict the future with this precision?
