A viral video of a Florida representative being pranked with fake names causes Bart Simpson to trend thanks to his iconic prank calls on The Simpsons.
The Simpsons is trending thanks to a viral prank reminiscent of Bart Simpson. Bart is the eldest child of the Simpson family, as immortalized on the Fox animated series, which is the longest-running sitcom in the U.S. One of the rebellious youngster's most popular running gags is his habit of prank calling the local bar Moe's Tavern and asking for Moe to call out fake names that are dirty double entendres.
This week, a video of a Florida state representative being pranked with fake names went viral online. SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This particular situation feels like it was ripped straight out of the currently airing The Simpsons season 34, and many amused social media users have seen fit to make that comparison. Check out various reactions to the video below:The Simpsons Has Made a Habit of Predicting Real Events While it may seem strange that The Simpsons is coming to life in this way, it's far from the first time this has happened.
The divination skills of The Simpsons aren't perfect. For instance, they predicted that London's Big Ben would eventually go digital, something that has not yet come to pass. However, they have predicted many events including the invention of the smartwatch, the presidential election of Donald Trump, and the finale of Game of Thrones.
Season 34 has made a habit of referencing previous The Simpsons episodes, so they recently aired a gag about this very phenomenon. The season's opening episode followed a cartoon that could predict the future, poking fun at the show's own reputation. In typical Simpsons fashion, real events have continued to play out in a way that only made that gag look even more fateful.
