* “The Simpsons” predicting Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox: In the episode titled “When You Dish Upon a Star” in 1998, there was a sign that read “20th Century Fox, a division of Walt Disney Co”.

Al Jean, one of the show’s original writers, had told The New York Times that this was in line with the writers’ forward-thinking process.

The deal “was just another one,” he said. “It happens. There’s always mergers. It seemed logical, you know?”

Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected to the presidency.

* “The Simpsons” predicting Donald Trump’s presidency: In the 11th season of the show in 2000, “The Simpsons” depicted the Presidency of Donald Trump, who came to power 16 years later.

“As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump,” the character Lisa, shown as the US President, says to her staff, who inform her the country is broke due to her predecessor.

Writer Dan Greaney, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, had explained: “It was a warning to America. And that just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.”

* “The Cable Guy” predicting online gaming: Released in 1996, the film was a comedy thriller. Towards the end of the movie, Jim Carrey, playing Chip, a terrorising cable man, launches into a prophetic rant about shopping and gaming only a couple of years into the web’s existence.
