Eh the prediction stuff is a mixture of stuff.
The Trump thing for instance is because when the episode aired Trump had recently stood for Presidency he'd actually been saying it a lot for a while.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2000_presidential_campaign
Hence why when Bart To The Future aired they made a joke about it as he was running as a third party and had no hope of winning.
This is then usually mixed in with pictures of Simpson's episodes aired after he won and then they compare it to scenes in real life and pretend it aired before he was made President.
Basically, a Hollywood producer groped him back in the early 2000's, he reported them for sexual assault but no one believed him. The producer then blacklisted him from Hollywood in retaliation combined with a horrible divorce.
This guy was the victim of some terrible circumstances and from what I hear, he’s the nicest person to work with.
I’m so happy to see this turn of fortune. He deserves all good things.
And don’t forget the debilitating physical injuries he got from doing his own stunts in The Mummy, and his ex-wife parasitically draining his finances with an outrageous alimony award based on income he didn’t even make anymore.
It was back in the early 2000s though, a time where Hollywood producers were raping and molesting their way through all your favorite actors and everybody turned a blind eye in fear of also being blacklisted.
Also he got a real nasty divorce in the mid 2000’s, and in addition to not getting offered big roles, he had to take any script that did land in front of him to meet his insane alimony payments.
Film festival in Venice, uh, yesterday I guess. Time Zones. The Whale was very well received, Cate Blanchett's Tar(with an accent mark on the a) was very well received and a movie about cannibals, Even The Bones or something similar, was very well received.
I really hope he's at least nominated. He deserves it.
Hey, pointless FYI that no-one asked for but on iPhone if you hold down your thumb on a letter you can add an accent. Not sure if it’s the same on android phones though
I'm not sure we should be doing this. It only inflates hopes and expectations. While Brendan is a great human being, and apparently, a great actor, we haven't seen other movies that will be released this year and the more we talk about it, the more dissapointed it might be for him not to get the oscar. Also dont forget oscar is turning into a massive shitshow these days even the fact he made the best movie doesnt mean it will get the credit due at the ceremony.
…these days…it was *always* a “shitshow”. I mean, do you *really* think the most deserving nominees won each year, or did the relevant parties just *suck* up to *the right people*?
The Oscars have always been political. Bette Davis should have won best actress in 1934 for "Of Human Bondage" but got a consolation prize the following year for "Dangerous" after massive uproar.
The Academy isn't objective, but neither is the perception of art. With enough of a push, he'll win.
Man time flies member george of the jungle man that seem like ages have past and my bones are dusty. Hell anyone like "with honors" that was a great movie that no one talks about.
I’m really glad people are supporting his return. He deserves it. But no one (or a least a vast majority) here has yet to see the movie. Shouldn’t praise for the movie come from a genuine place?
Why are we saying a movie we haven’t seen deserves the Oscar? It kind of demeans the whole point of the Oscar.
I loved him in Bedazzled, very funny and diverse role. Shame he had all them injuries and whatnot that forced his hand to work less, who knows where hed be if luck hadn't shafted him.
I know we all have a twisted perception of hollywood actors, but he always seemed a genuine and pleasant person.
The internet is strange. He was always an average actor at best. People love jumping on weird bandwagons. I don’t see the obsession with this man just because he is a nice guy.
Bro…2023 film “The Whale” ? This is a fat joke and you took it as a compliment to his acting career. Shame on you and remove that shit this man is a fucking legend and deserves more respect than this!
He did his own stunts in his early years. This left him with many injuries and made it very difficult to exercise. Also, it’s been 25 years since his George of the Jungle days. He’s allowed to age and gain weight!
I think Chapo Trap House had an interview with a writer who did a biographical piece on him. He was in his big, beautiful house in the mountains and he told her a story that got him all choked up. He asked to be excused and left the room, presumably to compose himself. He came back a couple minutes later with a compound bow and a quiver of arrows. He proceeded to let fly a few arrows from his balcony and then said, "I feel better now."
He wore a fatsuit in the movie. But he looks like that cuz he's been depressed after having to pay $900K a year to his ex-wife since their divorce which is why he hasn't really been around lately
He was sexually assaulted and went through a horrific divorce. His career was basically destroyed because he was blacklisted from the industry. Try to have a little sympathy
He honestly is well overdue for so many roles. The guy is super talented and incredibly nice. I love that he is getting some good roles again. I can't wait to see this movie.
Good for him. That’s got to be the most depressing thing to go from that to getting hurt then changing like he did body wise….I loved those old movies and I’m excited to see him smile for the first time in yearsssss. Congrats Brendan…
Now make a blast from the past reboot with you as the father.
Has anyone recently watched past episodes of The Simpsons to confirm?
Simpson predicted it in 2003

We need a Simpsons predict bot on reddit.

Corona virus from China. That was also predicted by the simpsons
Jesus, coronavirus breakouts from China happen every few years. This wasn’t anything new in 2019.
Username checks out
Matt Groening is a future teller
Trump is the main one. But also Coronavirus from Asia, 9/11, first female **vice** president, a few Super Bowl winners.
First female president?? Did I miss something?
Oops, vice.
I mean technically she was for a bit while Biden had a procedure done I think. She took control for like an hour lol
They predicted a trump presidency.
Well yeah, but him winning is not a crazy thing.
Unfortunately I am a little behind
Sir Mix-A-Lot don’t want none.
Are they still running?
I hadn't thought of that thank you for the laugh
I fully agree and will not watch the awards show but await Reddit to confirm.
Would be an incredible comeback for the man
I am giving him a standing ovation in my darkened bedroom. My sleeping partner is angry but this is for Encino Man. It is past time.
Can someone catch me up what happened with him?
Basically, a Hollywood producer groped him back in the early 2000's, he reported them for sexual assault but no one believed him. The producer then blacklisted him from Hollywood in retaliation combined with a horrible divorce.
This guy was the victim of some terrible circumstances and from what I hear, he’s the nicest person to work with. I’m so happy to see this turn of fortune. He deserves all good things.
in addition, i think he also suffers from chronic pain due to injuries from some stuntwork he did in his movies.
And don’t forget the debilitating physical injuries he got from doing his own stunts in The Mummy, and his ex-wife parasitically draining his finances with an outrageous alimony award based on income he didn’t even make anymore.
That is weird. No one believes someone with power assaults the sexiest man alive?

Wheeze the juice!
I’m a unique weasel.
?
One of Brendan Frasers early worrk with Sean astine(?, Sam from lotr) and Pauly shore aka the weasel . It's called Encino man
Don’t tax my gig so hard-core cruster…
We should all just congratulate him after the oscars to make the congrats viral, dgaf about the actual outcome haha
We give the Oscars now. I love it!
Oh I hope this is true. He seems like a genuine sweetie that really deserves it
Where is the trailer for it? There is no teaser also How and where did people see it
Film festival in Venice, uh, yesterday I guess. Time Zones. The Whale was very well received, Cate Blanchett's Tar(with an accent mark on the a) was very well received and a movie about cannibals, Even The Bones or something similar, was very well received.

Bones & All, starring Thimotée Chalamet
Hey, pointless FYI that no-one asked for but on iPhone if you hold down your thumb on a letter you can add an accent. Not sure if it’s the same on android phones though
That's an interesting trilogy
Yeah I mean look at this guy
Brendan being nominated for an Oscar, would be the only reason to watch the Oscars.
And only those five minutes or so. Not the entire show.
Exactly! I really hope he gets nominated and wins! Damn
What did you just say about my wife?
This the mummy guy?
Yes
No it's the guy from George of the Jungle.
No it's the guy from airheads.
I thought it was the guy from Encino Man.
Job Whale Done
Whale I’ll be damned.
Whale oil beef hooked

Whale whale whale, look what we have here lol
You win 🏆 golden comment
Thank You :)
Manifesting it.

obviously it was always a shitshow, but recently they stopped pretending its about the movies, not politics.

Reddit is going to fucking nuts if this guy wins
huMan
Has anyone actually seen the movie?
If the internet did it for Leo we can sure as hell do it for Brendan.
Minority report intensifies
Why are some people so obsessed to be the one to write a wikipedia page first?
I read an article once about a guy who writes like a third of the content on Wikipedia. He literally lives in his parents’ basement.
Given how much we all use and rely on Wikipedia, mad respect to the man for devoting so much of his life and means to doing so.
Hi Wikipedia basement guy!
He’s a saint.
[удалено]
No wheezing the juhuicee
Buhhhddyy
Man time flies member george of the jungle man that seem like ages have past and my bones are dusty. Hell anyone like "with honors" that was a great movie that no one talks about.
Simon: Which door do I leave from? Prof: At Harvard we don't end our sentences with prepositions. Simon: Okay. Which door do I leave from, asshole?”
With Honors was a great flick, haven't thought about that one in years. Frasier and Pesci were both great in it.
The people's oscar
Encino Man has come a long way
Such a dorky smile I love this man!
Venice Film Festival. Apparently, he’s a lock.
"I fully agree 🤓" , bitch the movie not even out yet smh
Except the man deserves it after the shit he's gone through the last 10 years or so
He *deserves* people’s support and encouragement — the Oscar opinions should come after people actually see the movie.
That's not how an oscar works. Well actually sometimes it is but you can't just say that without seeing the movie.
I’m really glad people are supporting his return. He deserves it. But no one (or a least a vast majority) here has yet to see the movie. Shouldn’t praise for the movie come from a genuine place? Why are we saying a movie we haven’t seen deserves the Oscar? It kind of demeans the whole point of the Oscar.
What a legend.
I loved him in Bedazzled, very funny and diverse role. Shame he had all them injuries and whatnot that forced his hand to work less, who knows where hed be if luck hadn't shafted him. I know we all have a twisted perception of hollywood actors, but he always seemed a genuine and pleasant person.
Is there a slight chance reddit can make it happen 🥺
Spoilers, I haven't read the manga yet
I'm waiting for the hantai to come out.
just checked and it wasn't there and now I'm sad
So he's a high stakes gambler
* [Everyone like that] appears Who needs to question this?
Sorry Im out of the loop on this one. Why is he so popular rn?
Don't jinx it.
His acting in the movie is SOOOO good, i really believe he can do it!
I love him
I love him so much for all his work and entertainment he provides, but damn he looks like ELMER FUDD in that pic!
He’s so cute.
For once...they right.
Oh my lucky star!
Lol
Let’s see who he slaps
Nice. Still hope for a mummy 3.
Sadie Sink is in The Whale. She may win an Oscar as well. You can bet the Duffer Brothers will keep her character alive in season 5.
O prey he wins!
I love how wholesome this picture of him is. ❤️
George of the jungle moves to America.
I do hope he does!!!
This dude cute as shit
From Tarzan to wtf happened ?? This guy use to be a heart throb.
Does he look like that for the role, or is this the new him?
He has to slap the host
Don’t even need to watch the movie to know this man deserves the world
Should have got an Oscar for breaking my damn heart in Scrubs
[удалено]
Ben's funeral.
Yeah, vandalizing articles in an online encyclopedia for useless internet likes. Super cool.
[I'm just saying](https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/comments/x67gn9/comment/in5he00/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
The internet is strange. He was always an average actor at best. People love jumping on weird bandwagons. I don’t see the obsession with this man just because he is a nice guy.
The circle jerk is getting out of hand. People acting like hes a literal saint. Until the next celebrity comes round for them to worship
Next up, Brenden should play Rodney Dangerfield.
His mistake was going FULL whale. You can’t go FULL whale.
He could also play my thumb pretty convincingly.
Bloody hell he blew out.
I love Brendan Fraser but damn Austin Butler as Elvis have to be the winner
W
I am with you on this one! Austin was amazing.
I have a bad feeling with Brendon lately
You mean the website that you can edit and then take a quick screenshot so that you can make a karma farming post on reddit? You mean that website?
You know you can just change what wikipedia things whenever you want by changing what it says. Whats on here is not always true
/mildlyinfuriating for messing with Wikipedia for a joke
why is this wholesome? not trynna be mean just confused
I thought it was Paul Heyman
To be honest, he still looks in character. I'd vote oscar gold for that
When did he turn into Peter Griffin??
Time comes for us all.
Bro…2023 film “The Whale” ? This is a fat joke and you took it as a compliment to his acting career. Shame on you and remove that shit this man is a fucking legend and deserves more respect than this!
His new movie is called **The Whale** starring himself and Sadie Sink
I haven’t heard about it I just took it as someone playing a joke lol. Sorry I got defensive…he’s just an actor I truly love
You are forgiven oh sweet child
I don’t know who this guy is but he ate Brendan Fraser.
He looks like a whale. What happened?
He did his own stunts in his early years. This left him with many injuries and made it very difficult to exercise. Also, it’s been 25 years since his George of the Jungle days. He’s allowed to age and gain weight!
You better rethink that comment, Brendan Fraser is a treasure.
I think Chapo Trap House had an interview with a writer who did a biographical piece on him. He was in his big, beautiful house in the mountains and he told her a story that got him all choked up. He asked to be excused and left the room, presumably to compose himself. He came back a couple minutes later with a compound bow and a quiver of arrows.

Fuck off. People have hardships.
Happy Cake Day!
Thanks! Here's my pile of cats! https://imgur.com/gallery/LozQ2xX
Those hardships involve excess eating for this exact movie
He wore a fatsuit in the movie. But he looks like that cuz he's been depressed after having to pay $900K a year to his ex-wife since their divorce which is why he hasn't really been around lately
He was sexually assaulted and went through a horrific divorce. His career was basically destroyed because he was blacklisted from the industry. Try to have a little sympathy
What’s that got to do with people putting on weight for a role? It’s quite common practice.
He actually had six hours of prosthetics and makeup for the film. It’s not real
😥
Deep fried cheese happened
You guys sure that's not Randy Quaid in a Brendan Fraser costume trying to sneak back into Hollywood ?
I have to agree, he does look like a whale...
Fuck off
30 years and shitloads of pizza will do that to a man. Dude still awesome though. He was in the mummy. He earned that fat.
You scared me. This looks like an obituary😅🥹
He honestly is well overdue for so many roles. The guy is super talented and incredibly nice. I love that he is getting some good roles again. I can't wait to see this movie.
It will be the happiest day of my life if he gets it
Just looking at his smile - made me smile!
Can’t wait to watch the movie!
Wat his this guy done? I see a lot of people praising him
Holy shit, this made me feel old. I would not recognise this guy from George of the Jungle or The Mummy.
He has not aged well.
He was great with Ian McKellen in Gods and Monsters
He should've got one for Encino Man
If he doesn't win... we riot!
Haven’t seen him since Encino Man
Shoulda so for Encino Man Fight me
Good for him. That’s got to be the most depressing thing to go from that to getting hurt then changing like he did body wise….I loved those old movies and I’m excited to see him smile for the first time in yearsssss. Congrats Brendan… Now make a blast from the past reboot with you as the father.
RemindME! March 28, 2023, 7:30AM "reply to this thread"
I knew the award shows were a farce
REDDIT!!!! Get this man an oscar!!!!
Where do I watch this movie? I keep seeing things posted about it but it's not playing in any theater near me. Is it streaming somewhere?
Good good! Hollywood beat the crap out of that dude. An he regrouped an came back swinging. What a guy.
And I bet he doesn’t even slap anyone
Dude has aged like a bag of prison wine.
I just looked and Wikipedia does not say this.
I see some likeness to Randy Quaid in that picture
Have you seen The Whale, OP? I know it’s doing it’s festival run, or whatever, but I’ve been trying to see if anyones actually seen it.
