Not to be confused with the Super NES game ''[[Smart Ball (video game)|Smart Ball]]'' aka ''Jerry Boy''.

* ''[[Detective Conan]]'': Agasa catches this ball about three episodes into the series and promptly pockets it—going from what Conan himself described (to his face, no less) as "a self-proclaimed genius [who has] only invented junk" to the greatest [[Gadgeteer Genius]] since [[James Bond (film)|Q Branch]], with no intervening development or explanation.
** Depending on your point of view, Kogoro could also be said to catch this ball a few times over the course of the series whenever he actually manages to get a deduction right.
Line 65:
* All of the officers on [[Reno 911!]] are poorly educated morons who get humiliated and defeated by random criminals. But the episodes tend to be...episodic, with the officers taking care of various criminal complaints. In most of these complaints, one of the otherwise moronic cops displays impressive intelligence and insight when dealing with the criminals.
* ''[[Boy Meets World]]'' has Eric Matthews. Given his [[Flanderization]] into an idiot in later seasons, seems to pick up the ball to revert to his earlier characterization in "Brotherly Shove." Lampshaded by his friends by noting that he seemed to be "well-rested."
* ''[[Days of Our Lives]]'' fandom refers to the local Smart Ball as the Salem Brain. Considering many Days fans love snarking at plot holes, this evidently doesn't show up nearly as much as it needs to.
* Occasionally, a walker in ''[[The Walking Dead (TV series)|The Walking Dead]]'' will have a moment where they aren't mindless zombies. For example, one of the walkers plays dead, then bites Hershel in the leg. Another hides in the mud and grabs Megan before she cahcan notice.

* Emiya Shirou of ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' is not the sharpest knife in the drawer for the Fate route and most of the Unlimited Blade Works route. {{spoiler|Then he has an [[Eureka Moment]], figures out how to turn into a [[Reality Warper]] [[Awesomeness By Analysis|entirely by watching Archer,]] and never drops the Smart Ball again.}} It's almost a little jarring seeing how quick on the uptake he is in Heaven's Feel.
* The ''Judge'' is given the Smart Ball in case 3-5 of ''[[Phoenix Wright]]''. It's even lampshaded:
