Social media was buzzing with pictures from the "The Simpsons" series, due to the recent coincidence of the similarities between Vice President Kamala Harris' outfit during the inauguration and Lisa Simpson's outfit in an episode of 2000.

Simpsons predicts Kamala Harris outfit at inauguration

In "Bart to the Future" episode, Simpson assumes the presidency and asks the now-viral line, "As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump."

In the episode, Simpson wore a purple jacket and pearls, just like what Harris wore at Wednesday's inauguration.

The comparisons by viewers went viral on Twitter, with each one posting his/her own comic poster.

The Simpsons' predictions did not stop here. In "The Simpsons Movie" from 2007, Actor Tom Hanks appeared in a cameo role pitches a proposed new Grand Canyon at Springfield, the hometown of the Simpsons.

"Hello. I'm Tom Hanks. The US government has lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine," Hanks said.

The actor appeared as a host during a virtual concert Wednesday evening, aiming to keep with President Joe Biden's theme of national unity in a time of crisis.
