Pretty sure George Orwell did it first.

This isn’t a coincidence or accident, it’s called predictive programming and the Simpsons is a repeat offender of this kind of portentous scene. It’s their way of telling us what will happen and mocking us for believing it.

The Simpson's copied this from Stephen King's novel "Under the Dome".

Actual quote:

Moe: What, are you telling us we're trapped like rats?!

Russ Cargill: No, rats couldn't be trapped this easily. You're trapped like... carrots.
