* Predating the invention of the Magic 8-Ball (and thus possibly serving as inspiration for the design), a "magic ball" in the guise of an oversized 8 ball appears in the Three Stooges short "You Nazty Spy" and is used to parody the use of Psychics by prominent Nazis at the time. The prop used is not actually a Magic 8-Ball.
* In the 1995 Disney/Pixar film, Toy Story, Woody asks a Magic 8-Ball sitting on his owner's desk, "Will Andy pick me?" as he wanted to go to Pizza Planet, not Buzz. The Ball's response is "Don't count on it." Woody then gets upset over this answer and throws the Magic 8 Ball on the desk, causing it to roll along and fall behind Andy's desk.
* In a season 1 episode of House, the title doctor asks his "magic pool hall oracle" to help him decide between Dr. Foreman and Dr. Chase's theory.
* In The Simpsons episode Bart's Friend Falls in Love, Bart and Milhouse peer into a Magic 8-Ball to see if Bart and Milhouse would be best friends in the future. The Magic 8-Ball was giving negative feedback, which turned out to come true when Milhouse makes friends with a new girl in school.
* The song "First Drink of the Day" by 7 Seconds of Love features the lyrics "Woke up today; I didn't feel like I should, / And my Magic 8-Ball said 'Outlook not so good'".
In episode "The Truth Is Out There And It Hurts" of TV-series "Charmed" Phoebe tries to learn her fortune by shaking classic Magic 8-Ball, which gave her "Ask again later" answer each time.
* In Friends Season 5 episode 4 ("The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS"), Ross consults a Magic 8-ball for answer to his dilemma: should he "never see Rachel again" (as requested by his then-wife Emily as the condition to try to continue their marriage, and avoid being divorced twice before 30), for which the ball twice gave non-committal answers ("Ask again later").
The ball is shown in a scene in the horror film The Haunting in Connecticut
