THE Simpsons fans have come up with a wild new theory which challenges everything we know about Ralph.
Ralph is Chief Wiggum’s son in the hit animated series, but a vast number of fans have become convinced the policeman isn’t his real father.
In fact, many are adamant Chief Wiggum’s colleague Eddie is Ralph’s real father, with them claiming they look more alike and that Ralph has no resemblance to Chief Wiggum.
While Chief Wiggum has blue hair and an upturned nose, Ralph – like Eddie – has strands of black hair.
Taking to Reddit, fans of The Simpsons shared pictures of the three characters as ‘evidence’, with one writing: “Chief Wiggum’s wife had an affair with Eddie and Ralph is actually his son.”
Others suggested Eddie had donated sperm to Wiggum and his wife Sarah so they could have a baby after Wiggum’s reproductive organs were described as “withered and useless”.
However, in season 23 episode Holidays of Future Passed, the show flashed forward 30 years and showed Ralph following in his dad’s footsteps and working as a cop.
It also showed his black stick straight hair had grown thicker and turner blue, like his father’s, giving them more of a family resemblance.
Meanwhile, fans of the The Simpsons fear the iconic show has predicated the future once again after an episode showed the end of the world on Inauguration Day.
The same episode appeared to predict the Capitol riot sparked by a fallout to the presidential election result.
The episode, which originally aired on November 1, 2020, showed a sinister suggestion of the fate of America as Homer failed to cast his “deciding” vote.
The animated sitcom then fast-forwards to Inauguration Day on January 20th, 2021, where Springfield is in a state of armageddon.
Simpsons fans were quick to call out the eerie comparison between the episode and the terrible events at The Capitol building earlier this month, and the fact Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day takes place on that very date.
The Simpsons is available on Disney+.
