A Season 4 episode titled "Marge in Chains" tackles one of the most-discussed topics of the contemporary era, the outbreak of the coronavirus.
"Marge in Chains" kicks off with a scene taking place at an over-crowded factory in Asia, capturing a worker as he accidentally sneezes on a crate of juices set to be shipped to the U.S. The seemingly marginal incident kicks off a chain reaction, giving way to the deadly epidemic. Instead of the coronavirus, however, the disease is referred to as Osaka Flu.
"The Simpsons scares me. This episode aired 27 years ago in 1993," described one person how they feel about "Marge in Chains" on Twitter.
"From The Simpson 1996 episodes. I swear their producers are from the future," opined another.
