In the sitcom Miranda, there's a scene where Miranda and Stevie play hopper roulette where they place pins on the floor then bounce on retro space hoppers until they burst.

I can't remember which number it was, but the space hopper was featured on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Toys. They talked about that guy who hopped down the Great Wall of China and they included stock footage.

I remember an ad on the BBC for the national lottery where adults are bouncing around on hopper balls with numbers on. I think it was for a show called The National Lottery: We Got Your Number. It was either from the late 90s or early 2000s.

An ad for Trident chewing gum featured a kaiju-sized woman on a space hopper bouncing across a city.

Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow had a bit where Dick or Dom asked random adults in public if they would bounce on a hopper ball while saying "Bungalow bungalow bungalow". At least 2-3 people did it. I also recently saw a clip from that show where a man bounces into the living room on a hopper while singing.

Because I've always liked it, I'm including Penny Marshall bouncing hard on a giant blow up turtle in an ep of Laverne and Shirley. Hopper? No. Sexy? Yep.

There's a common hopper for sale on Amz with a clip of adults using it. A thin, young, dark haired woman does some of the best hopping I've seen. If you look you'll find it.
