A Stock Phrase when something particularly unexpected happens, usually following O.O.C. Is Serious Business. For instance, "Alice just spoke, does anyone see four horsemen riding up?"
If it's someone saying the end is nigh if this thing happens, and then it does, see Cue the Flying Pigs. Often used to lampshade Dumbass Has a Point. For extra humor, someone with a sign may show up to declare The End Is Nigh.
Not to be confused with Signs of the End Times, which is when you're literally seeing signs of the apocalypse. Or someone carrying a sign that says The End Is Nigh. |

In 30 Rock, Kenneth has been convinced by a reverend that the apocalypse is going to happen soon. The other writers decide to mess with him, and tell him that they saw four flaming horses ride by. Kenneth says that the reverend told him that super-gay horses are one of the signs of the apocalypse. |

Humorously used in an episode of The Fairly OddParents!. Timmy gets an "A", which causes the other students to panic, thinking it's the end of the world since he's normally a terrible student. Crocker thought Timmy had help from his fairy godparents. Timmy actually aced the test out of sheer luck. He marked the answers in a way that made a drawing. |

In the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer they point to the band playing in the Bronze (Nerf Herder, a song from whom also provided the theme tune throughout the series) as a sign of the Apocalypse. At the same time as a lot of rather more conventional signs of the apocalypse are occurring. |
