Of the planets and the stars could have a special deep significance or meaning that exclusively applies to only you\\
But let me give you my assurance that these forecasts and predictions are all based on solid, scientific, documented evidence\\
So you would have to be some kind of moron not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true!"''

* ''ComicStrip/ShermansLagoon'': At the start of one week-long arc, Sherman and Megan are reading from their fortune cookies at a restaurant. Sherman gets a standard fortune, but Megan's fortune says that the reader should beware of incoming fishing nets. Cue Sherman getting scooped up by exactly such a net.
-->'''Megan:''' I think I got your cookie.\\
'''Sherman, while being carried away:''' Let's discuss this later.

* In a ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' special released as a tie-in to ''WesternAnimation/JonahAVeggieTalesMovie'', hosted by ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything, Pa Grape tries to fix the projector they're using for the special [[PercussiveMaintenance by banging on it with a hammer]]. Larry and Lunt pass the time with a musical number about their Chinese take-out, which ends with them opening a fortune cookie:
-->'''Larry:''' "Beware of grape with wooden mallet."\\
'''Lunt:''' Ain't that the truth.

* In the spin-off book ''Mr Bean's Diary'' to the series ''Series/MrBean'', he sees a horoscope telling him that he will receive shattering news on 27th March, possibly regarding the number 77. This is just after he bought a raffle ticket number 77 for a raffle which is drawn on 27th March, with a first prize of a week in the Bahamas. Believing that he will win, he buys all his holiday supplies before the raffle is drawn. [[spoiler: The ticket does win, but unfortunately, he has lost his ticket, which may be in a rubber band round his diary, as seen on the back cover.]]

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Vol 1]]: The "Wonder Women of History" Anne Dacier feature includes an overtly sexist opening where her father and a male friend think her horroscope must be wrong since it says she's going to become famous, wealthy and successful and shes a ''girl'' of all things.

* Huey in ''Comicstrip/TheBoondocks'' would always write off his horror scope as ridiculous despite it basically describing his current situation and a sensible solution to it every single time Caesar read it. Caesar's was similar only he put stock it them, so naturally they gave no solutions.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': [=SCP-377=] is a box of fortune cookies whose fortunes are inconsistent with the factory standard and always accurate. While it's unknown whether these cookies cause or merely predict future events, correct fortunes have included "It's a boy!" predicting the sex of the subject's child, and "The weather is really just not your friend today," where the subject was soon thereafter struck by lightning.

* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'': The existence of fate in this series is about as observable and debatable as that of gravity. As such, fortune tellers are a legitimate business and not exclusively charlatans looking to scam gullible people out of their money. Additionally, some characters have [[GuardianEntity Stands]] that let them predict the future. The predictions given by such stands are unchangeable and will happen no matter what, though they're typically ''just'' vague enough to either horribly backfire on the user or to make an attack that should've by all rights killed them into something that instead just severely wound them.
