Quimby abandoning Springfield is also pretty similar to how the Australian PM buggered off to Hawaii while the country was suffering from enormous wildfires

the simpsons didn't predict anything, it's just that nothing has changed in the last 30 years

Still not convinced The Simpsons is any good no more

Mayor Quimby "cancelling" his trip and Ted Cruzs vacation was another prediction?

Simpsons didn't predict Jack sh*t

Mayor Quimby leaving Springfield ended up being a lot like Ted Cruz flying to Cancun

omg that ending

I actually really like Star Trek and started watching it because mike can not stop mentioning it since early on redlettermedia.

There’s nothing new under the sun 🌞

You guys really need to check out ROBOCOP DARK JUSTICE where an interesting prediction on the police department is incorporated into the show.

4:19 Ted Cruz

"because of the epidemic i will not be going to the bahamas," has strong ted cruz in mexico during the snowstorm vibes lmaooo

Hey it predicted Ted Cruz too

Wow Mike likes the new Simpsons episodes??? He really must have dementia I thought that shit was just a joke.

They were mostly peaceful riots

Jay looking like Edgar Wright

4:23 But they predicted Ted Cruz!!!

Force Jay or any other RLM members to listen to you talk about Simpsons episodes, "you fucc".

I remember seeing that episode the first time when I was in seventh grade

I’m surprised nobody tried to shoot the virus in the US 😕

About six months after this video this 4:19 was Ted Cruz when Texas got the cold snap :D

going back and rewatching old Simpsons kind of made me realize you have to be a little kid to enjoy The Simpsons. It just never was that funny. very corny. And futurama is just unwatchable

The mayor and Ted Cruz have something in common At least the Simpson mayor still has a brain

From a late-March-2021 POV, you could find even more "predictions" in that episode: - A high-ranking politician going on a Caribbean holiday while his constituency is suffering a major crisis. - ... and the whole thing about rioting mobs - although there are quite a few Simpsons eps with rioting mobs in them...

It's nice that, in these trying times, Mike & Jay decided to get out of bed just to make a video for us. Effort appreciated.

And then Ted Cruz gets caught going on vacation during a crisis just like the mayor. That episode has aged like a fine wine.

Oh no! Mayor Quimby pulled a Ted Cruz!

And now this episode even works as commentary on Ted Cruz ditching Texas lol

Yes Mike, certain episodes of S31 were funny but the laughs are few and far between. My daughter and wife are getting into the the early seasons. Rewatching those reminds me of the good times.

4:20 Hey, it's Ted Cruz!

4:20 it took a little while but they predicted Ted Cruz too lol

Woah, this episode also had Quimby fleeing to another country during a crisis like Ted Cruz did. This episode is remarkably accurate with it's satire coming true

There's another thing predicted in this episode but for 2021: a politician takes vacation during a cities' time of need and is immediately recognized in public.

this episode also predicted the Ted Cruz Cancun fiasco

U only like it cause of ur antipalestinian views, it's as terrible as ever

@4:20 Simpson’s predicted Ted Cruz going on vacation during the Texas crisis

Soooo.....Ted Cruz is in it tooooo....

4:19 this episode is now even more prophetic because Ted Cruz just fled to Cancun during a snowstorm in Texas and was forced back

And now ted cruz left for cancun. Holy shit.

Watching the entirety of the Simpsons sounds deleterious to your mental health.

8 minute video to say "I rewatched Simpsons, this one episode is kinda similar to whats happening now."

If you make 600+ episodes of any program you’ll eventually get something right.

Isn't it funny that Ted Cruz just pulled a Quimby? Well, I guess it's not really funny, a lot of people are dying directly from his lack of leadership, but wow, what a coinkidink

RLM predicted Simpson’s predicting Ted Cruz!!!

and now this episode predicted a politician going on vacation during a crisis and lying about it with Ted Cruz abandoning Texas during the worst winter storm in memory and trying to blame his daughters for his Cancun trip.

I've always thought of The Simpsons as a show that virtually nobody watches anymore and it's just on TV simply because it's The Simpsons.

Nobody listens to me when I tell them that simpsons got a little better in the obama years, but damn if it didnt tank again right afterward. but then nobody listens to me when I remind them that we get a new plague from China _every_ year, so

All of that being in the same episode is interesting, but as far as the protesting/rioting, it did come out like a year after the LA Riots

Simpsons is a lot like the Chicago Bulls... It was INSANELY GOOD from about 1991-1998, and has been a regular disappointment every year since then. 😂

6:45 *The entirety of this year _so far_ !

It's a coincidence and it's easy to predict the future, I'll prove it. I predict that internet memes will jumpstart WW3. Let's come back to this video when we're all slaves to the New Republic.

theres been too many coincidences in the simpsons lifetime to be just coincidences

Don't mind me, just here to remind you that every Simpsons after season 8 was a mistake

I remember that part of the flu episode, but I remembered it as the "Hong Kong flu" with an Eastern Dragon instead of Godzilla. Darn memory.

I'd love to see a Re:view episode of the Simpsons Movie

That deathstar popcorn popper being quite was so a Troy McClure line lol

these guys should talk about season 11 episode 5!

The simpsons didn't predict shit. People have to bend every narrative to fit. I call BS.

Hehehe my video thumbnail is in the video at 2:50

More talk about The Simpsons please.

6:42 WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR LEFT EYE

Also the end with the videotaping... i mean we just had some ppl storming the capitol and this idiots filmed themself and put it online and ofc the virtual witchhunt will bring most of them into court/jail.

Season 5 and 6 are near perfect. I love the absurdity of the season 5 gags. Neddy? NEDDY!

Just going to add - Marge in Chains is also the 21st Episode of the 4th season.

Malaise Forever

Mike interviews Edgar Wright about the Simpsons.

Is that the Energy Take Classic in the background?

Killer bees and murder hornets are 2 different things. Killer bees have been a worry since before that episode aired (but they don't usually come north enough to hit the US), "murder hornets" are 10 times the size of bees and were confined to Japan until a few years ago.

Tbf to the early Trump reference, he actually tried to bid in previous elections. Him being president was funny then, just as it was now.

Plot twist: The only TV show God watches is The Simpson's, and he watches it for ideas.

Just add some socialists taking over..

j-jay’s silver hairs- 🥵💦

its really weird seeing mike and jay not chatting against the backdrop of an absolute shithole

4:19 Did not think this would apply to so many Canadian politicians until now.

How does that subplot in the Simpsons predict the coronavirus? I don't know about you but having foreign disease travel from Asia to America is literally nothing new, by that logic it predicted SARS. Some people must have the memory of a goldfish.

Nice Spider-man poster

The "HE'S HISTORIES GREATEST MONSTER" gets me EVERY time

“Another episode of Mike and Jay talk about...” There was an episode of Mike and Jay talk about before this one?

4:22 That happened this week here in Canada

"I have the flu, don't tell my supervisor" ..."that's ok, I've been working with a shattered pelvis for weeks" hahaha

Is that Edgar Wright?

The music at the beginning sounds like Bunker 1 from GoldenEye 64.

I love the Simpson

The Murder Hornets actually are from Japan....

The simps... for The Expanse right here

The pilot ep of the Simpsons is sooo sweet!

I've had a few. The reason I want to comment is this. This episode is brought to YOU by Hulu. I knew these where hack FRAUDS!!1!. It's a native ad! Also, it is best watching this pausing, frequently...

predictive programming...

Mayor Quimby in the Bahamas might resonate with Australians after Prime Minister Scomo was found having a sneaky holiday in Hawaii during the mega fires earlier this year

It's funny how people interpret Simpsons predicts future events when it's more like Nostradamus' predictions and can apply to anything. Like when 'Marge in Chains' came out in 1993, Rodney King riots had already happened; the killer bees colonies settled in Texas and New Mexico; Hantavirus and other virus outbreaks were in the news from 1990 to 1993, and Japan was producing a lot of US sold products.

Season 31...just wow.

The Chinese people imitated whatever happened in this episode of Simpsons

Hey Mike! How goes the Simpson marathon?

This never would've happened if George Floyd was here.

I guess the writers really did have 2020 vision

the coronavirus is not airborne mike

I love how Jay laughs so often at Mike retelling Simpsons jokes. I hope he takes that as a sign that he should get back into that series!

So weird...

ah, the downsides of slave labor
