A Magic 8-Ball is, in general, any tool that is used in order to gain advice or try to predict the future. It must be a prop or other physical object, since any characters would fall under Mentors or some other advice dispenser instead. It must be able to accept questions and respond in turn. In reality, a Magic 8 Ball is a classic toy consisting of a hollow plastic sphere containing blue liquid and a 20-sided die with different phrases printed on the sides. You would ask it a question, then flip it over and a random response would come up in the window built into it. As a result, there are various uses of the possible responses involved, as well as of the Magic 8 Ball itself. The details and phrases involved can be found on Wikipedia. See also Ouija Board and Crystal Ball. |

The Simpsons: "Bart's Friend Falls in Love": Milhouse gets a Magic 8 Ball for his birthday. Bart has to tell him what it even is because Milhouse thinks it's an "oversized novelty billiard ball". The two boys ask a few questions which result in very undesirable answers from the Magic 8 Ball, which negatively affects the boys' state of mind. Eventually, Bart uses the 8 Ball as a weapon when an enraged Milhouse attacks him. Afterwards, he looks at its broken remains and quips "Boy, I bet the 8 Ball didn't see that one coming." |

iCarly: In "iMeet Fred", Spencer relies on a "magic meatball" for all of his decisions. It makes him go through with several bad choices, e.g. drinking ketchup and buying an ostrich, but he finally tosses it when it won't tell him to take an offer to display his pop art sculptures in a gallery. | |

Magic 8-Balls are in Homestuck, but there's a more powerful variant in the Magic Cue Ball, which gives perfect answers but has no window through which to see them and so only people with special vision like Vriska are able to use them. Vriska has an addiction to breaking actual Magic 8 Balls. | |

In Level 8 of Rusty and Co. the "8-bit 8-ball" is an artifact that predicts the future. It's easy to identify as a powerful magic item, since its mere presence makes the comic's picture all around it getting low-resolution, as in an 8-bit picture. It is artifacting. | |

An episode of The Angry Beavers had the Beavers use a "mystical seven ball" for advice on how to deal with a group of lumberjacks destroying their forest. At the end of the episode, where the Beavers have a Pyrrhic Victory due to the lumberjacks finally leaving (with all their timber), the ball shows up and mocks them for taking advice from a billiard ball replica. | |

Arc Corp: When Blake infiltrates the Schnee auction in Vale, the anomaly on offer is an unassuming magic 8-ball toy, except it apparently gives specific and accurate answers to any question it's asked; something that has to be a trick given how the Schnees usually operate. After Blake, Jaune, Ruby, and Qrow (the latter under Ozpin's employ) snatch it in the middle of a criminal gang war over who gets to own the device, they discover that it's only magic so far as it can read the user's mind and spit back out any information they know, meaning it can only be used to jog one's memory. Qrow leaves upon this realization, and Arc Corp end up using it as a glorified paperweight for lack of anything else. | |

In Harry Turtledove's The Valley-Westside War, it is strongly implied that the Valley's king consults one of these to decide whether to go to war with the Westside and ultimately chooses to do so. Fridge Horror, especially when you consider that the 8-ball is significantly more likely to give an affirmative response than a negative one. | |

The hero of Interstate 60 gets the magic ball after wishing for "An answer to my life." The ball does give correct, if vague answers. Near the end the hero throws the ball away in frustration, but by then it's obvious the true answer is at the end of the road, and the ball was only guiding him in the right direction. | |

The Trials of Apollo: A magical Magic 8 Ball is used to communicate with a ghost. This ghost cannot speak because he's missing a head and he's touchy about being illiterate, so he communicates with an 8 Ball that occasionally shows what he wants to say. | |

In the Friends episode "The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS", 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. When it keeps displaying the "ask again later" message Ross gets mad and assumes it's broken so Monica decides to test it. | |
