The Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which left 26 tourists dead, has increased tensions between India and Pakistan. India has taken a strong stand against Pakistan as it blamed it for sheltering the terror groups behind the attack. In response, India announced several diplomatic steps against Pakistan including the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty. India also promised to retaliate after the deadly attack and since then, Pakistan has been involved in “unprovoked firing” at the Line of Control (LoC). Amid the rising tensions between the two countries, a video clip has surfaced on the internet which has caught everyone’s attention. It shows a scene from the popular satirical animated series The Simpsons with people claiming that the show predicted India launching a nuclear attack on Pakistan.
The video has been widely shared on social media with one X user captioning it, “Simpsons predicted India nuking Pakistan, FYI.” The clip being shared is from the episode Bart to the Future which is Season 11, Episode 13 of The Simpsons. The episode originally aired on March 19, 2000. In the clip, Krusty the Clown is seen telling a joke about India and Pakistan.
In the clip, Krusty begins with the line, “What is the difference between Pakistan and a pancake?” He then delivers the punchline: “I don’t know any pancakes that were nuked by India!” After saying it, he follows with, “What? Too soon?”

People in the comments had different reactions. Some asked AI tools like Perplexity and Grok to check whether the claim was true.
One user wrote, “Simpsons prediction never goes wrong,” while another added, “Simpsons already predicted it.” Someone else said, “Hope this stays a joke.”
The Simpsons has made several “predictions” over the years. It showed Donald Trump becoming US President which later happened. It joked about Lady Gaga doing acrobatics at the Super Bowl which she did years later. It also showed 20th Century Fox as part of Disney and 19 years later, Disney ended up buying the studio. But it should be noted that the show is known for its sharp humour and jokes about global events and sometimes, those jokes seem like predictions when real events happen years later.
While the video is gaining traction, India’s real-world response to the Pahalgam attack is also taking shape. On Tuesday, April 29, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a high-level security meet said that Indian armed forces have complete operational freedom to decide on the mode, targets and timing of the nation’s response to the terror attack.
