You can tell this Iceberg was made by a young person because a solid 2/3 of all these entries aren't really surprising. Many technologies we have today were dreampt up decades ago anyways, global viral events aren't strictly limited to 2020, and so many "predictions" aren't all that shocking when you consider the historical and social landscape of the time when some of these things were made. It's all very easy to explain, excluding a handful of genuinely interesting coincidences.
same applies to 9/11 even. no, it's not shocking that if you asked someone where to bomb first as an act of terrorism against the US in 2001, the WTC probably would have been in any sufficiently educated person's top 10 list, also it would have been fairly easy to guess which extremist groups were the most likely to orchestrate such an attack
Not to mention “Gravity Falls predicted FNAF” anyone who thinks this is a child who had never heard of animatronics until FNAF came out. People have found animatronics to be uncanny loooong before FNAF existed.

The DDLC one is just kinda silly, because it's an example of how everyone seems to act like DDLC is far more original than it is. The reason Gravity Falls came up with the concept it did was because it was parodying the exact same generic tropes that DDLC also used as the bases for it's psychological horror genre-switch rug-pulls (this is right down to Monika's design, which is made insanely generic on purpose). And the idea of using these tropes and concepts as parody or rug-pulls was not a new concept either. Neither was the idea of a meta gimmick, or the concept of an anime character or J-idol becoming some sort of psychological stalker to an otaku/anime fan (this had already been done so many times before, that Gravity Falls was clearly parodying the trope. This has been, like, an insanely big gimmick in Japanese media for ages). It was basically unenviable that a popular game would eventually happen that threw all those things together. DDLC is well made & does what it does very well, but contrary to what people act like, DDLC didn't actually invent anything it did. It is obviously kinda coincidental that the show came up with an idea very close to DDLC, but it's not really that strange. It honestly more speaks to how "unoriginal" the concept of DDLC actually was at the time.
This is an example of the phenomenon when a specific example of something niche becomes popular with people who aren't into the niche thing, it's treated like the pinnacle of what it can be even if it's a very lukewarm example of it--this is the case for DDLC regard anime video games/visual novels (even specifically psychological horror fourth wall breaking ones. Ever17, anyone?) (I personally call this the "cavemen love Sonic 06" phenomenon, based on the idea that if you showed Sonic 06 to a caveman, they'd have their minds blown)
About cartoons "predicting" the attacks on WTC. I honestly think the reason why so many of early cartoons had World Trade Center included in some of their scenes is simply because they were very popular. You know, kind of like a Golden Gate Bridge, everybody recognizes it. Not to mention, GGB also often gets destroyed in movies.
Also the WTC was ugly. Like the Empire State or Chrysler buildings are aesthetic, but the WTC was just two ugly concrete matchboxes. It was an iconic part of the landmark but also the one people would feel the least bad about seeing destroyed in a purely hypothetical and absurd scenario featuring UFOs or giant monsters.
I wasn't born until 2004 so I never really knew how important the WTCs were to American culture. Then again, they wouldn't have been targeted alongside the White House and the Pentagon if they weren't important,
I was thinking a movie poster too, yeah. But for some reason the first one I thought of was The Rock's Skyscraper movie... even though it wasn't out yet, I guess it still serves to show that it could really be any kind of action-thriller movie poster.

The Trump Simpsons predictions aren't anything special because not only was he planning to run he actually did independent party and failed miserably in the early 2000s, which means they actually kind of got it wrong on the first one And the 2nd time there is a "gimme", i mean even if you expected Trump to get 2 terms nobody within their right mind would've believed they'd be consecutive terms even at the beginning of his presidency, and definitely not seeing approval ratings as time went on

I'm sorry. They predicted Queen Elizabeth's Death? As in they predicted a person was going to die at some point? Most of these are reaching but that one is on another level.
if i reached as much as the iceberg maker did, i could touch clouds from the sea floor lmao. especially with the pandemic ones, they act like the only time that people self isolated or cared about germs was in 2020
Honestly not that good of an iceberg. That author could have had a lot more on there such as Simpsons predicting the censoring of Michaelangelo's David or South Park predicting Hello Kitty Island Adventure or other toilet paper crisis predictions. The stupidest thing here is that Tier 7 only has three entries versus Tier 8 having five. That's not how icebergs work.
7:43 I actually think the iceberg is referring to the episode of SpongeBob SB-129, where after arriving in the future Squidward notices that everything is made out of chrome, and SpongeBob replies, "Everything is chrome in the future!" absolutely positively not a prediction of google chrome but it is amusing to hear SpongeBob SquarePants say😂
I remember the Simpsons reputation for predicting the future was why the Dead Bart creepypasta used to actually scare me cause once the graves start showing the same death date it implies an apocalypse. As a kid I was very afraid of the end of the world and was sure this was predicting it. I was both pretty impressionable and also I used to be pretty prone to lapses from reality until fairly recently.
I think that saying, for example "A greater world wide pandemic will happen in the future or there will be a devastating tsunami in Japan happening soon" is not really a coincidental prediction, I think that it's mostly based on very likely scenarios, like the twin towers, they were very iconic for the NY skyline and had been targeted before 911, so it' was very likely scenario that would or gonna happen
Some of the "9/11 predictions" could also refer to how popular the Die Hard movie was. Since the movie poster features a skyscraper on fire. That might explain the movie inspired scenes/references throughout various 90's media.
The Ultimate Warrior predicted his own death. The wrestler called Ultimate Warrior's last promo was an oddly dark promo about how there comes a time where every man's heart beats its last beat, their lungs breathe their last breath, how his spirit would be immortalized by storytellers and by those who honor him. It legitimately sounded like someone talking knowing they'd be dead soon and wanted to give his fans and the industry one final goodbye. HOURS after the show ended, he collapsed and was pronounced dead at the hospital from a heart attack.
The reason so much media seems to predict 9/11 is because after the attacks no one dared to put stuff like a plane flying into a building or a tall building on fire so it created an environment where older media that features those tropes sticks out like a sore thumb. This also created a feedback loop, since after a while people began to specifically look for it and see this pattern where it would have been previously unnoticed.
I like to imagine the thumbnail implies that Ned Flanders was somewhat responsible for 9/11 Edit: For some reason my brain wrote “Ned Flanders” as “Fred Flanders” and I didn’t notice until some people pointed it out in the replies
Dude your voice over is peak entertaining not too lazy and not too energetic I wish you do horror icebergs of unnerving pictures or fictional creatures iceberg

27:30 the higgs boson thing is funny because calculating mass like that can be done for any particle not just the higgs and the reason the writers would put a real equation is probably because the simpsons writers in the 90s had like 10 phds between them
The screenshot he showed also has nothing to do with the large hadron collider. It's a gag about solving Thermat's Last Theorem, which states that there are no whole numbers x, y and z where x to the power n plus y to the power n equals z to the power n for any integar=n greater than 2.
I just want to take this moment to point out to all the insane people that merry melodies is named after melodies, and looney tunes is named after tunes. Your memory has failed you - mandella effect ismt real
Some of the pandemic predictions are bit of a stretch. Like, we had pandemics before (spanish flu for example), though some are eerily close, I'll admit. Love your iceberg videos btw so this is a treat.
I think the JJBA character was probably based more on Steve McQueen, not Alexander McQueen considering the character resembles Steve more and Highway To Hell might also be a reference to some of Steve McQueen's action movies since they were famous for their driving scenes. Oh and also Steve McQueen was in The Great Escape, a famous movie about a prison escape.
Love your work, but, the “Simpsons predicted etc etc etc” thing is so cringe. The show has been on so long and there are so many examples of things they got wrong, it’s coincidental. I hope to god people don’t actually believe this. Love your work my friend.
I agree, but he was just adding it in because it was in the iceberg. He most likely got it off of Reddit, and if he had removed them then he might not have had much to talk about
I think no one watching this thinks these shows actually predicted none of this xD, it's obviously all coincidences, really freaky and accurate (if very looked into em xD) coincidences, it's just fun to see the times a random ass show like Johnny bravo could accidentally "predict" something like 9/11 in a poster on the back of an episode having the quote "Coming soon" and 2 towers falling down. Of course people that did the background work for the show only thought of a random concept for an action movie having 2 towers smoking and the quote which is almost exclusively used for upcoming movies; they're not part of an illuminati nothing xD, it was just coincidental, but it's entertaining to look at those examples 👌👌👌...
This is what the video is about. Plain and simply titled "media predictions iceberg" three words tell you all you need to know. If you don't like it, just don't watch
The SpongeBob one predicting chrome could also relate to the sb129 episode where squidward goes to the future and SpongeBob says everything is chrome in the future
I'm about 8 minutes in, Robocop better be in this EDIT: Damn, for all the speculative entries, lacking this one is such a waste. Clarence Boddicker, the criminal that is one of the major big bars of the film, puts in a CD the size of a... CD into a machine when he's killing Bob Morton, and it began playing video. At this point Betamax was a thing, but the discs for those were massive. So it successfully predicts DVDs as it's a medium that's the size of a music cd that plays video, in the time when VCRs were the hot thing on the market
Betamax was a tape based medium, a competitor to VHS, I think you mean Laserdisc. Predicting that there would be video on CD sized discs would be a logical conclusion, LaserDiscs exist, Compact Discs exist, what if somehow in the future the LaserDisc is smaller? it's like the PADD in Star Trek TNG "predicting" tablets - computers existed in 1987, notebooks and clipboards exist, what if there are computer-notepads in the future?
The Kobe one is pretty much identical to the Siegfrud and Roy entry, as Kobe refused to ride in a car and it was constantly joked that he would die in a helicopter crash.
The story of frank Ferdinand’s assignation is interesting a man named Princip joined a group aimed at the destruction of the Austro-Hungarian empire What happened was that the archduke was in Sarajevo when another member of the group along with Princip threw a grenade at Ferdinand’s car it missed at landed in another motorcade car which injured the passengers The other member of the group was beaten by the crowd while Princip slipped away he went to a cafe to eat because he was allegedly so scared that he would get executed without killing franz ferdinand When franz Ferdinand who was on his way to the hospi to visit the injured from the bomb took a wrong turn right in front of the cafe the engine then stalled right in front of the cafe prinicip simply walked out of the cafe and shot him to death
I'm sorry, this video is poorly researched. Most of these have very simple explanations and are taken way out of context, most of the time you're not understanding what they're referencing in the first place. Regular Show is referencing low effort content, nothing more. It was always a thing, not even slightly similar. As opposed to the E,E&E one that has something actually specific to it. Actually making it an interesting coincidence. Pandemic predictions are nothing, self isolation etc is a method that's been known about since forever. We've had many pandemics since the begin of humanity. It's like predicting that eventually it'll rain. Most of these aren't predictions or even coincidences even in the slightest. They make sense and are obvious things that have happened, will happen or are completely unrelated. An interesting video would've been about things that actually got specifics right or at least commented on why an entry in the list is poor. I guess I'm just disappointed by so many uninteresting entries in something with an interesting premise.
The thing with a lot of these “predictions”, especially almost all of the Simpsons ones are that they are general events that are loosely connected to things that happened
On Kanye’s 2005 album 'Late Registration' Kanye predicts on 1 of his skits (Skit #4 to be specific) Among Us. In this skit Kanye said and I quote “I've called this private meeting today because there is an imposter among us. There is an imposter among us.”
There was an artist in the ‘80s or ‘90s who would draw intricate alternative versions of US money and then try to trade them for goods and services. They got fairly valuable and the artist was always pushing getting in trouble with the Secret Service.
I love how cringe internet people would rather claim that something "predicted gen-Z internet humor" rather than accept the fact that people a couple of decades ago were worried of the mental brain rot they saw coming, and have since been proven right. Like, I like internet humor as much as the next person to some degree, but just take the L and move on
My favorite prediction is from ferenheit 451. Ray Bradbury predicted ear buds by talking about a bullet shaped device that fits in your ear and transmits radio. He also talked about people wearing them so often that they just lip read (often badly) instead of actually listening to people in front of them.
There’s one i feel like should be on the iceberg: Tom Clancy’s The Division predicts pandemic, if you watch the intro video to The Division 1 it seems eerily similar to how the pandemic started and all the mass panic.
one time in early 2021 one of my friends in a discord call randomly out of nowhere said "betty white is going to die on new years", pretty sure the conversation was about famous people who were very old, well anyways yeah she died on new years and my friend said they couldnt remember why they even said that it was just the first weird thing they could think of to say
I just see it as a lucky guess for most shows as if you throw enough at the wall something will stick Though the difference between that and most people saying something aged well is less to do with prediction and more so life not changing much or a secret everyone knows in Hollywood but only gets confirmed after someone's in jail like r Kelly
When R. Kelly married a very underage Aaliyah, it was very public. It was parodied in 2005's SWAT 4 with an in-game "R. Kelly in A minor" poster. I think Bill Cosby or Weinstein are better comparisons since the industry hid those for the longest time from the public.
In the 2012 video game "Virtue's Last Reward" there is a major viral pandemic that is in the backstory for the game. The virus was called "radical-6". This whole backstory is first introduced to the player when they find a newspaper clipping talking about how the WHO has confirmed the death tool and recommends immediate quarantine. The player is led to believe for a large part of the game that the characters--who don't have any clue where they are--are either in a quarantine facility, or perhaps the exact opposite (that they're the "survivors" isolated from the pandemic). All of this, in-universe happened in the 2020s. Did VLR predict COVID? Nah. I basically just making he point that these kinds of plots are so common, and there's nothing "predicted" here. It is strange going back and playing VLR nowadays though--some of the descriptions of the world during radical-6 are very disturbing in retrospect, especially about the pandemic causing mass suicide, which feels like it can parallel the mental health crisis caused by the pandemic & lockdown.
Is the Seinfeld Cleveland 117, San Antonio 109 prediction on here? In a 1991 episode of Seinfeld, the boys meet a psychic that interprets scribbles on a paper as Cleveland 117, San Antonio 109. This predicted the exact score to a game between the Cleveland Cavalier and the San Antonio Spurs in 2019 where the Cavs won 117 to 109. It gets crazier, the Cavs beat the Spurs with same exact score again in 2023.

Pretty sure the google chrome Spongebob thing also means when Squidward goes to the future and everything is chrome and Spongebob says, "Everything is chrome in the future" BTTF 2 more predicts the apple vision pro to me with the multiple screens, they put them on during dinner and complain they can only watch 2 screens at once lol. Futurama also mirrors the Simpsons Nobel Prize with Ogden Wernstrom which appears to be a reference to Holmstrom No Breakfast In America?
I really like how you went about this and pointed out a lot of the flaws with this iceberg. Most of these are just someone finding very simple correlation without putting any deeper thought into it. Just about everything on here is super explainable and the few that aren't are just simply coincidence, and there aren't even that many on this list.
The insane part about the JoJo entry is that this whole hanging on a pole situation is, in and of itself, being predicted by one of the character's stand abilities. Also, there's a plane in the background when Araki shows the guy hanging.
Looking at how many productions and albums predicted September 11, I have the impression that they all wanted to destroy this tower, come on, that's a lot

if i reached as much as the iceberg maker did, i could touch clouds from the sea floor lmao. especially with the pandemic ones, they act like the only time that people self isolated or cared about germs was in 2020
Honestly not that good of an iceberg.
That author could have had a lot more on there such as Simpsons predicting the censoring of Michaelangelo's David or South Park predicting Hello Kitty Island Adventure or other toilet paper crisis predictions.
The stupidest thing here is that Tier 7 only has three entries versus Tier 8 having five.
That's not how icebergs work.
I edited that Jacksfilms Garfield clip hahaha
Very proud to have taken a very small part in predicting the future
Salvador Dali and Picasso were both notorious for paying for meals with drawings. Diary of a Wimpy kid is a reference to that.
7:43 I actually think the iceberg is referring to the episode of SpongeBob SB-129, where after arriving in the future Squidward notices that everything is made out of chrome, and SpongeBob replies, "Everything is chrome in the future!" absolutely positively not a prediction of google chrome but it is amusing to hear SpongeBob SquarePants say😂
I remember the Simpsons reputation for predicting the future was why the Dead Bart creepypasta used to actually scare me cause once the graves start showing the same death date it implies an apocalypse. As a kid I was very afraid of the end of the world and was sure this was predicting it. I was both pretty impressionable and also I used to be pretty prone to lapses from reality until fairly recently.
I had the same fear but with the Fallout 3 numbers station creepypasta lol , also nice puar pfp
OK woman
@@skinhead-ej8ff okay incel
We were 8 years off from 2014 lol. Remeber that waiting to hear news of her death.
I think that saying, for example "A greater world wide pandemic will happen in the future or there will be a devastating tsunami in Japan happening soon" is not really a coincidental prediction, I think that it's mostly based on very likely scenarios, like the twin towers, they were very iconic for the NY skyline and had been targeted before 911, so it' was very likely scenario that would or gonna happen
The suicide booths are a reference to an old sci-fi novel, immortality inc. futurama was referencing the book, not making any predictions there
Some of the "9/11 predictions" could also refer to how popular the Die Hard movie was. Since the movie poster features a skyscraper on fire. That might explain the movie inspired scenes/references throughout various 90's media.
The Dream Theater one is really coincidental since the album was set to release literally on Sep 11, 2001.
The Ultimate Warrior predicted his own death.
The wrestler called Ultimate Warrior's last promo was an oddly dark promo about how there comes a time where every man's heart beats its last beat, their lungs breathe their last breath, how his spirit would be immortalized by storytellers and by those who honor him. It legitimately sounded like someone talking knowing they'd be dead soon and wanted to give his fans and the industry one final goodbye.
HOURS after the show ended, he collapsed and was pronounced dead at the hospital from a heart attack.
Not really a prediction but god hates us all by slayer was released on September 11th 2001. Kinda crazy
The reason so much media seems to predict 9/11 is because after the attacks no one dared to put stuff like a plane flying into a building or a tall building on fire so it created an environment where older media that features those tropes sticks out like a sore thumb. This also created a feedback loop, since after a while people began to specifically look for it and see this pattern where it would have been previously unnoticed.
26:29 "Siegfried, also known as Roy Horn." Come on, man. That makes no sense. You can do better.
Siegfried and Roy, famous 1 man duo
Lol
prediction = vague mention of similar topic
I like to imagine the thumbnail implies that Ned Flanders was somewhat responsible for 9/11
Edit: For some reason my brain wrote “Ned Flanders” as “Fred Flanders” and I didn’t notice until some people pointed it out in the replies
Ned Flanders. Uncultured swine 😂
Ned Flanders
That's not Ned Flanders. That's his evil doppelganger, Fred Wallonia.
Dude your voice over is peak entertaining not too lazy and not too energetic I wish you do horror icebergs of unnerving pictures or fictional creatures iceberg
Now that you mention it, you’re right. There’s some UA-camrs who’s voiced r kind of cringy and over exaggerated and others who are too slow and low. His voice and speed is actually perfect
27:30 the higgs boson thing is funny because calculating mass like that can be done for any particle not just the higgs and the reason the writers would put a real equation is probably because the simpsons writers in the 90s had like 10 phds between them
The screenshot he showed also has nothing to do with the large hadron collider. It's a gag about solving Thermat's Last Theorem, which states that there are no whole numbers x, y and z where x to the power n plus y to the power n equals z to the power n for any integar=n greater than 2.
I just want to take this moment to point out to all the insane people that merry melodies is named after melodies, and looney tunes is named after tunes. Your memory has failed you - mandella effect ismt real
But...but... it says 'Merrie' in this video
What else what merry melodies be called, Merry (insert thing that makes sense)!?
Some of the pandemic predictions are bit of a stretch. Like, we had pandemics before (spanish flu for example), though some are eerily close, I'll admit.
Love your iceberg videos btw so this is a treat.
I'm always surprised that source brew isn't even at half a million subs. He always has great videos, great editing, and a lot of work is clear.
Ikr 😅
Make America Great Again was one of the slogans of Reagan in 84
he said that
I think the JJBA character was probably based more on Steve McQueen, not Alexander McQueen considering the character resembles Steve more and Highway To Hell might also be a reference to some of Steve McQueen's action movies since they were famous for their driving scenes. Oh and also Steve McQueen was in The Great Escape, a famous movie about a prison escape.
Love your work, but, the “Simpsons predicted etc etc etc” thing is so cringe. The show has been on so long and there are so many examples of things they got wrong, it’s coincidental. I hope to god people don’t actually believe this. Love your work my friend.
I agree, but he was just adding it in because it was in the iceberg. He most likely got it off of Reddit, and if he had removed them then he might not have had much to talk about
I think no one watching this thinks these shows actually predicted none of this xD, it's obviously all coincidences, really freaky and accurate (if very looked into em xD) coincidences, it's just fun to see the times a random ass show like Johnny bravo could accidentally "predict" something like 9/11 in a poster on the back of an episode having the quote "Coming soon" and 2 towers falling down. Of course people that did the background work for the show only thought of a random concept for an action movie having 2 towers smoking and the quote which is almost exclusively used for upcoming movies; they're not part of an illuminati nothing xD, it was just coincidental, but it's entertaining to look at those examples 👌👌👌...
This is what the video is about. Plain and simply titled "media predictions iceberg" three words tell you all you need to know. If you don't like it, just don't watch
The first animal to be cloned was a sheep called Dolly in 1996 so no, The 6th Day did not predict it, coming out in the year 2000
The SpongeBob one predicting chrome could also relate to the sb129 episode where squidward goes to the future and SpongeBob says everything is chrome in the future
I think the main reason people remember Mercenaries 2 was its commercial and catchy song
"Oh no, oh no, Oh nooooo! Oh no you didn't"
Bruh the queen can't live forever
Yeah, lol, a lot of these are stupid but that has to be the dumbest one on the iceberg
Hey dude sup i just wanted to say that i don't speaj very much English and that i been learnin more with your videos
That is awesome
that is pretty cool, also funny how I taught myself english by watching yt videos and now I have an english-spanish linguistics diploma
20:06 That didnt predict anything, thats just people not knowing history.
I'm about 8 minutes in, Robocop better be in this
EDIT: Damn, for all the speculative entries, lacking this one is such a waste.
Clarence Boddicker, the criminal that is one of the major big bars of the film, puts in a CD the size of a... CD into a machine when he's killing Bob Morton, and it began playing video. At this point Betamax was a thing, but the discs for those were massive. So it successfully predicts DVDs as it's a medium that's the size of a music cd that plays video, in the time when VCRs were the hot thing on the market
CDs and LaserDisc already existed when Robocop was made, actually.
CD-ROM was released in 1984 and could hold digital video. Laserdisc was the same year.
Betamax was a tape based medium, a competitor to VHS, I think you mean Laserdisc.
Predicting that there would be video on CD sized discs would be a logical conclusion, LaserDiscs exist, Compact Discs exist, what if somehow in the future the LaserDisc is smaller?
it's like the PADD in Star Trek TNG "predicting" tablets - computers existed in 1987, notebooks and clipboards exist, what if there are computer-notepads in the future?
@@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY well yeah I mean that they predicted a disc that isn't overly huge like laserdisc as a video medium
@@Heattokun CDs were already a thing. The first music CD released was back in 1982
The Kobe one is pretty much identical to the Siegfrud and Roy entry, as Kobe refused to ride in a car and it was constantly joked that he would die in a helicopter crash.
I remember watching the uncut version of Lillo and Stitch on a DVD for some reason. But of course my memory could be wrong
Maybe it gave you the option to play the original scene and you forgot that detail.
There’s something so creepy about the looney toons “the towers are falling” 😂
The story of frank Ferdinand’s assignation is interesting a man named Princip joined a group aimed at the destruction of the Austro-Hungarian empire
What happened was that the archduke was in Sarajevo when another member of the group along with Princip threw a grenade at Ferdinand’s car it missed at landed in another motorcade car which injured the passengers
The other member of the group was beaten by the crowd while Princip slipped away he went to a cafe to eat because he was allegedly so scared that he would get executed without killing franz ferdinand
When franz Ferdinand who was on his way to the hospi to visit the injured from the bomb took a wrong turn right in front of the cafe the engine then stalled right in front of the cafe prinicip simply walked out of the cafe and shot him to death
The Google Chrome prediction they're referencing to was whenever Squidward went to the future and everything was "Chrome" in the future
didnt kanye put the globdoglabdaglab in donda because of dunkey? doesnt seem like that much of a prediction
Though I'm happy that C&C was mentioned, a prediction that is far more interesting is the one about C&C Generals predicting the rise of ISIS
I'm sorry, this video is poorly researched. Most of these have very simple explanations and are taken way out of context, most of the time you're not understanding what they're referencing in the first place.
Regular Show is referencing low effort content, nothing more. It was always a thing, not even slightly similar.
As opposed to the E,E&E one that has something actually specific to it. Actually making it an interesting coincidence.
Pandemic predictions are nothing, self isolation etc is a method that's been known about since forever. We've had many pandemics since the begin of humanity. It's like predicting that eventually it'll rain.
Most of these aren't predictions or even coincidences even in the slightest. They make sense and are obvious things that have happened, will happen or are completely unrelated.
An interesting video would've been about things that actually got specifics right or at least commented on why an entry in the list is poor.
I guess I'm just disappointed by so many uninteresting entries in something with an interesting premise.
He didn't research the video
the video be like "pokemon predicted the 9/11" "dora the explorer predicted the 9/11""your mother predicted the 9/11"
I predicted 9/11
The thing with a lot of these “predictions”, especially almost all of the Simpsons ones are that they are general events that are loosely connected to things that happened
The simpsons predicted that my dad never came back with the milk
On Kanye’s 2005 album 'Late Registration' Kanye predicts on 1 of his skits (Skit #4 to be specific) Among Us. In this skit Kanye said and I quote “I've called this private meeting today because there is an imposter among us. There is an imposter among us.”
There was an artist in the ‘80s or ‘90s who would draw intricate alternative versions of US money and then try to trade them for goods and services. They got fairly valuable and the artist was always pushing getting in trouble with the Secret Service.
He did art as JSG Boggs
Total Recall also had Arnold and self driving cars, but came out first
The irony of the AI being evil and manipulative reveal being censored by an evil AI is not lost on me.
I love how cringe internet people would rather claim that something "predicted gen-Z internet humor" rather than accept the fact that people a couple of decades ago were worried of the mental brain rot they saw coming, and have since been proven right. Like, I like internet humor as much as the next person to some degree, but just take the L and move on
I literally had a few bruh moments in the intro....
It’s clear that we’re living in the Metal Gear Solid future
Yeah oc
0:18 My Uncle from Florida showed me this when I was a kid, and ever since then I've been into conspiracies
33:46 it’s actually a 747, which, despite the similar name, is a VERY different plane.
My favorite prediction is from ferenheit 451. Ray Bradbury predicted ear buds by talking about a bullet shaped device that fits in your ear and transmits radio. He also talked about people wearing them so often that they just lip read (often badly) instead of actually listening to people in front of them.
There’s one i feel like should be on the iceberg: Tom Clancy’s The Division predicts pandemic, if you watch the intro video to The Division 1 it seems eerily similar to how the pandemic started and all the mass panic.
An iceberg I’ve never heard of for this fine Thursday 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You forgot when AVGN predicted the Rambo movie back in 2007. “What are they gunna do, call it John Rambo?” Oh man that’s too funny lmao
The Titan prediction is interesting
mostly escape from new york 1981 movie. *escape from new york 1981 Movie Almost Predicted 9/11*
16:26 Stan looks different than I remember
one time in early 2021 one of my friends in a discord call randomly out of nowhere said "betty white is going to die on new years", pretty sure the conversation was about famous people who were very old, well anyways yeah she died on new years and my friend said they couldnt remember why they even said that it was just the first weird thing they could think of to say
I just see it as a lucky guess for most shows as if you throw enough at the wall something will stick
Though the difference between that and most people saying something aged well is less to do with prediction and more so life not changing much or a secret everyone knows in Hollywood but only gets confirmed after someone's in jail like r Kelly
When R. Kelly married a very underage Aaliyah, it was very public. It was parodied in 2005's SWAT 4 with an in-game "R. Kelly in A minor" poster. I think Bill Cosby or Weinstein are better comparisons since the industry hid those for the longest time from the public.
Fever chill goes so hard for the background music
8:55 You could say back to the future was one year off due to the 1994 season being canceled.
The Kobe reference really bums me out.
I’m surprised that “The Last Man on Earth” from FOX Broadcasting Company wasn’t on this iceberg since it predicted COVID-19.
Man, I haven’t heard anything about that show in a while.
In the 2012 video game "Virtue's Last Reward" there is a major viral pandemic that is in the backstory for the game. The virus was called "radical-6". This whole backstory is first introduced to the player when they find a newspaper clipping talking about how the WHO has confirmed the death tool and recommends immediate quarantine. The player is led to believe for a large part of the game that the characters--who don't have any clue where they are--are either in a quarantine facility, or perhaps the exact opposite (that they're the "survivors" isolated from the pandemic). All of this, in-universe happened in the 2020s.
Did VLR predict COVID? Nah. I basically just making he point that these kinds of plots are so common, and there's nothing "predicted" here. It is strange going back and playing VLR nowadays though--some of the descriptions of the world during radical-6 are very disturbing in retrospect, especially about the pandemic causing mass suicide, which feels like it can parallel the mental health crisis caused by the pandemic & lockdown.
Is the Seinfeld Cleveland 117, San Antonio 109 prediction on here? In a 1991 episode of Seinfeld, the boys meet a psychic that interprets scribbles on a paper as Cleveland 117, San Antonio 109.
This predicted the exact score to a game between the Cleveland Cavalier and the San Antonio Spurs in 2019 where the Cavs won 117 to 109.
It gets crazier, the Cavs beat the Spurs with same exact score again in 2023.
I feel like people keep thinking shadow is actually pumping to load his gun, but I’m pretty sure it’s just because his hand is so fucking big that he’s just priming the charging handle on the MP five
The only one of these that is seriously impressive is Dunky with the GlobGlobGabGalab sample. It is so insanely obscure that it has to be intentional. It also helps that it's the only song on Donda that I think is good. Might be a little biased 😂
14:36 that’s exactly what’s wrong with the UA-cam copyright system some random person/company can just claim your vid even if it’s fair use or worse not even there property
05:09 Its ok to talk about it now since the CDC said its the same as the flu now
Pretty sure the google chrome Spongebob thing also means when Squidward goes to the future and everything is chrome and Spongebob says, "Everything is chrome in the future"
BTTF 2 more predicts the apple vision pro to me with the multiple screens, they put them on during dinner and complain they can only watch 2 screens at once lol.
Futurama also mirrors the Simpsons Nobel Prize with Ogden Wernstrom which appears to be a reference to Holmstrom
No Breakfast In America?
They should include that one time ssethzeentech randomly predicted the 2022 Kazakhstan uprising in a game review
I really like how you went about this and pointed out a lot of the flaws with this iceberg. Most of these are just someone finding very simple correlation without putting any deeper thought into it. Just about everything on here is super explainable and the few that aren't are just simply coincidence, and there aren't even that many on this list.
The insane part about the JoJo entry is that this whole hanging on a pole situation is, in and of itself, being predicted by one of the character's stand abilities.
Also, there's a plane in the background when Araki shows the guy hanging.
Looking at how many productions and albums predicted September 11, I have the impression that they all wanted to destroy this tower, come on, that's a lot
For the Looney Tunes one there's that one scene from falling hare
He should've mentioned that one instead
The Merrie Melodies clip is so eerie. I know there’s likely context at the time, but man it feels different
Most of the iceberg is really bad, there are way too many jokes, many of them are stretches, and a lot of them aren't predictions, like the Queen dying, because that's just an inevitability. Nothing against you Source, you weren't the one who made it.
I haven't tuned in for a while, really cool to see how much you've grown and improved, especially compared to when you first started
23:12 uh Star Trek TNG in the 80s predates this. And they are actual tablets too.
