The Simpsons is pretty good at predicting the future, so it comes as no surprise fans think the TV show guessed Raygun's viral Olympics breakdancing moment was coming.
The Aussie breakdancer, real name Rachael Gunn, went viral after a 'hilariously ridiculous' performance at the Olympics.
While it was certainly entertaining, Gunn sadly failed to secure a single point in the events.

The Olympic judges marked each athlete on six criteria points: creativity, personality, technique, variety, performativity and musicality.
The performance may not have impressed the judges, but viewers watching at home couldn't help but be entertained by the wild routine.
Some Simpsons fans even think the performance was very much reminiscent of Homer's dance in front of Mr Buns and Smithers in an iconic episode that broadcast over 30 years.

The much-loved character becomes president of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant's trade union in the 1993 episode.
Homer being Homer leads the workers on a group strike in order to restore their dental plan.
The aim of this strike, you ask? To avoid the family having to pay massive amounts for Lisa's new braces.
Homer manages to worm his way through some tricky negotiations to secure a deal on one condition... he has to resign.

The main character is very happy to oblige and celebrates in wonderful fashion by jumping on the floor and dancing around on his side.
Some on social media have pointed out similarities to Raygun's Olympic performance.
"Once again, The Simpsons totally nailed it predicting Raygun's Olympic Breaking routine," one person penned on Twitter.
So, how is The Simpsons seemingly so good at predicting the future?

Well, a writer on the series has previously revealed how the series manages to get so much right.
Al Jean told NME: "One of our writers, the guy whose episode predicted Donald Trump as president, said it best, ‘If you write 700 episodes and you don’t predict anything, then you’re pretty bad. If you throw enough darts, you’re going to get some bullseyes'."
While The Simpsons has a stellar accuracy record, Jean did admit some of the predictions are pretty eerie.

"The 9/11 one is so bizarre," the writer said. "In the World Trade Center episode, there was a brochure reading $9 a day with an 11 styled up like the towers. That was in ’96, which was crazy, like this insane coincidence. But mostly it’s just educated guesses."
He added: "Stanley Kubrick made the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968 and there’s Zoom and iPads in it but that’s because he had futurologists helping him construct what the world might look like in 30 years’ time.”
