The apocalypse
Perhaps the most shocking of all the predictions is that of the end of the world. In an emblematic chapter, Homer performs a calculation that, according to him, predicts the exact date of the apocalypse. After an initial mistake, he corrects the figure, but no one believes him. In a series of events that are as hilarious as they are disturbing, Bart, Lisa and Maggie’s father manages to negotiate with God an extension for humanity.
Although this prediction may seem too fantastic, its symbolism opened another debate. Some interpret it as a warning about the importance of taking action against global problems such as climate change or the economic crises. For others, it is nothing more than another example of the absurd humor that characterizes the episodes of each season.
