As it happens, X (previously Twitter) fans think they have pinpointed the exact time the program predicted Welch’s viral moment.
“Did The Simpsons predict Hawk Tuah?” one person asked. Episode 8 of Season 4: New Kid on the Block.
The moment she spits on that thing, Bart falls in love. or, perhaps, Bart’s hand. “The Simpsons predicted Hawk Tuah,” said another commenter.
“They actually predicted a lot of s***,” someone other commented. It’s a little insane. Laura, a new character introduced in the episode, ends up becoming Bart’s babysitter and crush.
To Bart’s dismay, Laura is seeing school bully Jimbo Jones. Moe storms in with threats after Bart sets up a hoax call to Moe’s Tavern in an attempt to impress her.
In the end, this behaviour leads to Laura and Jimbo splitting up. However, what role does the “hawk tuah” moment play?
