The Simpsons “Prediction” Sparks Fear Over Labubu Doll Trend
A viral video has reignited fears surrounding the popular Labubu doll, as fans claim that The Simpsons eerily predicted the rise of this plush toy. Labubu, designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, has been a major fashion and collectible trend in Asia, often seen paired with luxury streetwear.
However, social media users are now drawing unsettling comparisons between the doll and demonic imagery from The Exorcist, further fueled by an old Simpsons episode featuring a creepy toy resembling Labubu.
The trending clip has taken over TikTok, X, and Instagram, with hashtags like #LabubuCurse and #SimpsonsPrediction racking up millions of views. Some online users claim the toy exudes an “uncanny aura,” sparking a wave of memes and conspiracy theories. While most take it in good humor, others are genuinely unsettled, linking the doll to supposed “bad energy” and warning collectors to stay cautious.
