* In an episode of ''[[Seinfeld]]'', Patrick Warburton's character, Puddy, buys a jacket with a giant 8-Ball logo on the back.

'''Puddy:'''' ''[points at the back of his jacket]'' All signs point to yes. }}

* On ''[[Friends]]'' when Ross is faced with either divorce or cutting Rachel out of his life he resorts to consulting an 8-ball. His friends think the idea is ludicrous (except for Phoebe), but they can't come up with anything better. It keeps displaying the "ask again later" message.

* On [[The King of Queens]], the Mentalo toy from Doug's childhood (as well as its knockoff, Mental-Man) was a pull-string fortune-teller in a turban (or fez, respectively), but the character of its answers qualifies it as a variant of the eight-ball.

* Referenced in ''[[Big Wave Dave's]]''. Dave has an important decision to make and he asks Richie about what he should do because Marshall (his usual go-to guy for this sort of thing) is out of town.

Dave: I did, it always came back "ask again later." }}

 

* On ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'', Ed Bighead rises through the ranks at Conglom-O by following the advice of the Magic Meatball. Then it breaks and he ends up back where he started.

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'': Milhouse gets a Magic 8-Ball for his birthday.

'''Bart:''' ''[takes it]'' Will I pass my English test? ''[shakes it, reads]'' "Outlook not so good." Wow, it '''does''' work! }}

* There's a minor background character on ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' named Manic 8-Ball, with this as his power. He's an underling of Baron Underbheit.
