“The Leftorium” and Other Businesses From “The Simpsons” We Wish Actually Existed

When Ned Flanders opened his store The Leftorium in season three of The Simpsons, it totally bombed.

The episode is literally called “When Flanders Failed.”

But I think Flanders’s idea to open a store for left-handed individuals is actually really cool. Sure, it only serves a certain demographic of the population, but that’s better than letting that demographic go without items made to fit their needs.

But let’s not stop there. In addition to the Leftorium, here are 9 Other Simpsons businesses I wish actually existed.

1. One of the most progressive bars in Springfield

Personally, I prefer their sister club, Eve & Eve.

2. We’re going to Disney Park!

Err, sorry, I mean…Diz-Nee.

3. It just makes sense

I hope there’s an air conditioner store out there that really uses this name.

4. I want to go to there

And buy all the LOTR plushies!

Image Credit: Fox

5. Yum!

If this store existed in real life, there would be a line out the DOOR.

6. Me neither!

Can we talk about Yogurt Nook?

Image Credit: Fox

7. I wouldn’t go in there…

One party I’m glad not to be invited to.

Image Credit: Fox

8. THE Leftorium

Flander’s quit his job to open this store. It was his dream.

9. Are you hair, God?

It’s me, Margret Simpson.

Image Credit: Fox

10. Well, I hope so

Otherwise we have a real problem.

Ok, so maybe “Donner’s Party Supplies” goes a bit too far for real life, but it’s just so darn morbid and clever.

What’s in a name? Well, quite a bit if you’re running a business. So, if you’re running a hair salon, or a law firm, or even a specialty store for left-handed individuals, I’d consider rebranding. Because these business names are gold.

Which business would you like to see tuned into a real life operation? Let us know in the comments.

“Much Ado About Muffins” and Other Funny Signs From “The Simpsons”

You’ve heard it before…the devil is in the details.

You know you’re experiencing a solid piece of art/entertainment when you start to notice the clever, little details.

In this case, we’re talking about all the various signs and businesses that the creators of The Simpsons dreamt into existence.

Some of these names are extremely obvious puns while others may have flown right over your head as a kid. Either way, we hope you enjoy these 9 signs from the Simpsons you might have missed.

1. You can give it your best shot

But there’s no guarantee you’ll save any money.

Image Credit: Fox

2. Ok, so a bit on the nose

But, we all know what they’re referencing.

Image Credit: Fox

3. Flint?

Filch?

Image Credit: Fox

4. This one really got me

Too real. Tooooo real.

Image Credit: Fox

5. Looks like fun

Shall we?

Image Credit: Fox

6. This actually seems problematic at best

But d*mn, now I’m hungry.

Image Credit: Fox

7. Humans are chums.

Not CHUM.

8. That’s the other guy’s name!

If you want, I can go in and buy you folks some clothes? Tis the season.

9. Do they have any banana nut?

The last taste of sweets is sweetest last.

That last one is my absolute favorite. How could you NOT want a Shakespearean muffin?

Also, Marge and Homer look so fancy and joyful here! This is not a look we get to see often, and it’s lovely.

I honestly don’t remember any of these from the episodes I watched as a kid, so it’s delightful to scroll through them as an adult and experience them as my parents probably did.

Which business name is your favorite? Let us know in the comments.

Predictions From ‘The Simpsons’ That Actually Came True

Who needs astrology when you can rely on The Simpsons?

The 31 season-strong animated sitcom has accurately predicted the future so many times, that we might as well call Matt Groening an oracle. Still, it’s no less shocking when an old episode from the 90’s ends up manifesting irl in 2020.

Here are 12 times that The Simpsons ended up predicting the future – for like the thousandth time.

1. We all know this one

You know how Donald Trump is president? Yeah, The Simpsons saw that one coming from like a mile away.

Also… LOOK AT THAT CAMPAIGN SIGN!!! That’s almost the damn font!

2. JCPenney’s bankruptcy

This episode predicted JCPenney going out of business 14 years ago. JCPenney filed for bankruptcy in 2020.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. Lady Gaga flying in the air

Gaga and Simpsons writers were on the save wavelength here. This episode and the pop legend’s Superbowl performance have strikingly similar choreography.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

4. Well, that’s depressing

The Amazon’s been disappearing for a while, but this one hits different after the 2019 wildfires.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Now that’s what I call electoral fraud

The Simpsons was way ahead of the game when it came to 2016’s election hacking debacle.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. This mutant fish

This 1990 episode accurately shows some of the scariest effects of climate change. Three-eyed fish have since been found in a reservoir near a power plant in Argentina.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. Tiger attack

These two big cat trainers based on the duo Siegfried and Roy were attacked by their tigers, which is exactly what happened in 2003.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. Greece’s economic collapse

This joke that aired in 2013 wasn’t too far-fetched, considering Greece defaulted on its debt only two years later.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. The smart watch

The prototype here looks pretty crazy, but it’s become pretty standard to have phone on your wrist nowadays.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Disney’s acquisitions

This episode from 1998 had a punchline that was a long time coming. Disney finally bought Fox Studios in 2019.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

11. Ebola

Only Coronavirus could make this joke more triggering.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

12. The Game of Thrones finale

Talk about a premonition. Maybe GoT fans wouldn’t have been caught off guard by Daenerys’ 360-degree turn if they’d gotten a sneak peek in this Simpsons episode.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

Is it socially acceptable to just start treating The Simpsons like the news? At this point, I feel like it’s an accurate source of information.

Screenshots of Posts and Pop Culture That Predicted What 2020 Would Be Like

You have to admit that the world is kind of a HUGE dumpster fire right now.

Not only are we going through a once-in-a-lifetime health crisis, but we have killer hornets to deal with, incompetent politicians, and all kinds of other bad news on a daily basis.

But did you know that in the past, people and even some pop culture icons predicted what would happen in 2020?

You don’t believe me?

Here are some examples that we think you will find very surprising.

1. Didn’t see this one coming…

By the way, don’t drink the bleach.

2. How weird is this?

I hope the FBI is watching this guy.

3. A virus AND killer bees.

As usual, The Simpsons knows all.

4. Might have to rewatch this movie soon…

Very prescient, don’t you think?

https://harleyquinn14b.tumblr.com/post/613398471346651136

5. The great virus of 2020.

We’re living in a nightmare.

6. One of the greatest films ever made.

Okay, not really, but still…

7. Chandler Bing, man of the future.

This is getting weird…

8. What to do with the kids?

Now there’s no escape…

9. This person saw that we wouldn’t be able to congregate in groups.

Let’s hope that this changes very quickly.

https://thepleasuregoblin.tumblr.com/post/615083496415870976/joeypotter1998-rich-eater69-this-guy-got-so

10. The big quarantine.

Predicted by the Ed Boys.

11. I remember this movie well.

Another Stallone classic.

12. That’s just odd.

Don’t Touch!

13. Great, more killer bees.

Run for it!

Those are pretty crazy, aren’t they?

Have you seen any other examples of people or pop culture accurately predicting what 2020 would be like?

If so, please share them with us in the comments!

Gwen Stefani’s brother Eric…

Gwen Stefani’s brother Eric was originally the keyboardist for No Doubt but left to become an animator for The Simpsons. He was able to put No Doubt into the background of the Lollapalloza episode when they were still pretty much an unknown band.

“The Simpsons” Accurately Predicted the End of “Games of Thrones” Years Ago (Among Other Things)

Game of Thrones is over, and most of the show’s fans are incredibly disappointed. Naturally, a lot of them have turned to other shows and the internet to try to find some kind of closure.

*spoilers* You have been warned.

One of the most shocking/frustrating moments of the last season was the second-to-last episode, The Bells. In a fit of somewhat inexplicable rage, Daenerys Stormborn and her dragon, Drogon, completely torch King’s Landing even after the citizens of the city had already surrendered. Dani goes on to slaughter thousands of innocent men, women, and children, along with her entire character arc.

The insane thing is, this carnage was predicted by The Simpsons back in 2017! It’s as if the show’s creators knew this was coming.

In this episode, “Serfsons” you’ll see Marge, Homer, Bart, and Lisa looking down over their city dressed in medieval clothing.

“Look,” says Bart, pointing out the massive red dragon burning down the city, “the dragon is burning our village.”

“I love our life,” Homer says.

Easy for Homer to say. He’s a cartoon! When this GoT episode aired we were all like, “I hate my life!” No? Just me?

Anyway, moving on. After the showed aired, Twitter immediately clapped back:

It seems The Simpsons have a knack for predicting the future. 18 times, actually! Like when the US beat Sweden in curling at the Olympic games (Episode “Boy Meets Curl”) and the Siegfried and Roy tiger attack (Episode “$pringfield”).

Check out a bunch of other things The Simpsons got right:

Pretty interesting…

In 1997 there was a contest…

In 1997 there was a contest to win an exact replica of The Simpson’s house, fully furnished. The winner could keep the home or trade it for $75,000. The winner took the money. The house was stripped of its decor before being sold.
