Laugh-In's Prescient News of the Future

(YouTube link)

Dan Rowan's "News of the Future" segment on the TV show Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In got things right a couple of times in 1969. The fall of the Berlin Wall was slated for 1989, which is what actually happened -although we haven't seen the alligators yet. And Rowan had to pause for laughter when he mentioned Ronald Reagan would be the US president in 1988. This clip was found in the Cracked article 8 Absurd Jokes That Predicted Real Life Events. The Laugh-In video only counted as one. NSFW text. Link -via Buzzfeed
