The Simpsons predicted Kirk's assassination?

The answer is NO. Charlie Kirk's assassination was not predicted by The Simpsons. Over the past week, an AI-generated image depicting the moment Charlie Kirk was fatally shot while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at UVU was turned into a Simpsons-style character and falsely circulated with claims that the show had predicted the incident.


However, despite these viral claims, The Simpsons didn’t predict the assassination of Charlie Kirk. There are no episodes of The Simpsons that show anything that’s related to Charlie Kirk and all the claims circulating online are based on fake images.

The image was altered by Artificial Intelligence from Utah Valley University where Kirk, a right-wing political conservative activist, was shot dead. The AI made the scene in the circulating picture look like it’s from a Cartoon but fact-checkers were quick to take note of the fake image, for instance blurry faces in the crowd. All these mistakes are quite common within AI-generated images and there is no evidence to support these claims.

"The Simpsons aired his assassination years ago - How would they know??" the viral post with the image says. "They're taking the piss. The World's a State and they're all Actors." However, as a community note on X about the image noted: "The image on the left, done in the Simpsons style, has multiple characters in the background that are missing facial features, a common issue with AI-generated images."

On the other hand, another viral post now claims that The Simpsons was about the air an episode on Charlie Kirk's death, but it has gone unreleased because the death actually happened. However, much like the previous posts, this one is also false.

Why is The Simpsons being connected to Charlie Kirk?

The Simpsons has eerily mirrored real events over the years. In 1996, it predicted Cypress Hill performing with the London Symphony Orchestra in 2024. Lisa Simpson’s 2000 outfit resembled Kamala Harris’ 2021 inauguration look. Lady Gaga’s 2017 Super Bowl stunt echoed a stadium descent in the show. Even the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and “murder hornets” reflected a 1993 episode featuring the “Osaka Flu” and killer bees.
