Fans believe The Simpsons writers have hidden access to a time machine when another scary prediction came true on the same date.
Long-time fans are accustomed to the designers correctly predicting some of the most significant world events, including as Donald Trump’s presidency, portions of the worldwide Covid-19 outbreak, World Cup winners, and even last year’s Titanic submersible catastrophe.
However, social media users have noticed that they were able to predict that North Carolina State will face Duke as part of the March Madness NCAA basketball championship on Sunday.
In the season 27 opener, Every Man’s Dream, which aired on September 27, 2015, Homer struggled with narcolepsy and attempted to mend his marriage to Marge by behaving during March.
On March 31, the family sat down at the dining table, and the housewife commended her husband for getting through the month without humiliating himself, according to a Twitter post.
In particular, she flagged his ‘impeccable behavior watching the NCAA basketball tournament’, as he popped up on screen wearing a blue T-shirt emblazoned with Duke, while waving a red NC State pennant.
He once covered the Duke emblem with the pennant during a talk with his children.
Homer undoubtedly wished he had a bigger banner as NC State defeated Duke 76-64.
Although this turned out to be a dream inside a dream, within a tattoo of Lena Dunham’s character Hannah Horvath from Girls, fans couldn’t get over the prediction coming true on the precise date that NC State and Duke faced off in the tournament.
Flocking to Twitter, Cory Smith posted a clip of the scene, explaining: ‘The whole Simpsons thing with NC State and Duke? Yeah, it goes a little deeper. @s_t_editz found the clip … check the date at the beginning.’

A user known only as Hoodie quipped: ‘So that explains this once in a lifetime run from NC State.’
Yubo Wang agreed: ‘At this point, we’re just living inside a Simpsons episode.’
‘Simpsons creator Matt Groening has a time machine. Like seriously, period, either that or he’s an alien,’ NoMo X suggested.
As Matthew C said: ‘Okay, this may be the most insane Simpsons prediction EVER!’
Larry Allen added: ‘This should be all the proof needed that there is a time traveler working within the production staff of The Simpsons.
‘Date shown is March 31st, Marge mentions Easter, March Madness, and Homer is wearing a Duke shirt while holding an NC State pennant.’
We’re beginning to believe in ourselves.
In an earlier interview, co-creator Al Jean debunked the outrageous forecasts, casting doubt on the existence of a time machine.
‘Most of the other things like Trump being President or Brazil winning the world cup are educated guesses,’ he told us when asked about the guesses. ‘Trump was considering being President back in the 90s.
‘We wanted Germany to win because we went to Brazil to lose and Germany was the next best bet for the World Cup.
‘So, a lot of the things that we predicted are just, unfortunately, things you could see coming.’
