21 Times 'The Simpsons' Perfectly Recreated Famous Photos

figgyPudding Published 09/25/2023 in ftw

'The Simpsons' is known for its freakish accuracy when it comes to predicting the future, with examples like Trump's presidency, and Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox. But perhaps the reason 'The Simpsons' can predict the future so well, is that they understand the past.

These pictures show 'The Simpsons' perfectly recreating iconic historical photos dozens of times, albeit with their own cartoonish twists. As they say, if you don't know your history, you're doomed to repeat it.
