- The Single Bullet Theory was parodied in a 1992 episode ("The Boyfriend") of the sitcom Seinfeld, in which baseball player (and guest star) Keith Hernandez allegedly spat a "magic loogie" at Kramer and Newman. This scene from Seinfeld was actually a parody of a near identical, but more serious, scene from the 1991 movie JFK. The actor Wayne Knight, who portrayed the Newman character in Seinfeld, occupied the same position in both the "magic bullet" scene of the JFK movie and the subsequent Seinfeld parody.
- The main purpose of the controversial video game JFK Reloaded (2004) was to have the player attempt to re-enact the shooting according to the Single Bullet Theory, in order to duplicate the Warren Commission's conclusions.
- American band Texas is the Reason have a song titled "The Magic Bullet Theory" from the album Do You Know Who You Are?

“If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
