By now you've most likely been sent a link to a video on YOUTUBE saying that the FAMILY GUY had a predictive programming episode and that the Illuminati killed Robin Williams. It's outlandish, and absurd..But it's still somewhat creepy to see how the story got its wings.
The BBC was airing a repeat episode of the FAMILY GUY, presumably around the same time on the planet that Robin Williams was cutting his wrists and placing a leather belt around his neck to kill himself..
The FAMILY GUY episode was 22 from season 10.. The story: Peter is outraged by a roast of Robin Williams on TV he thinks is too mean.. He eventually goes into a coma, and wakes up with the power to turn anyone he touches into Robin Williams. Then he gets angry at the number of Robin Williamses in the world so he attempts to kill himself by jumping off a cliff, but landing on Mrs. Doubtfire. He then cuts his hands off..
Now think of this: While people were undoubtedly laughing at the BBC airing of the episode, directly after it was over, the BBC cut in and said that the real Robin Williams, in real life on the real planet, killed himself..
The BBC was suddenly put into an awkward position and a spokesman had to conclude it was an uncanny coincidence that the show aired right before real news broke..
But it's certainly not the first time the FAMILY GUY seemed to be ahead of the curve.. Another strange moment of pop culture took place when the TURBAN COMBOY episode of the FAMILY GUY was a little too close for comfort to reality when the Boston Marathon bombing occurred in 2013..FOX pulled the show..
And now, this new incident of FAMILY GUY weirdness took place..
But certainly not predictive programming.. and certainly not Illuminati killings..
Robin Williams killed himself. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction--and sadder than a dark comedy.
