An obligatory trope for any depiction of The End of the World as We Know It or the threat thereof is a scene of some crazy-looking hobo (usually shown holding or wearing a sign), or possibly a street preacher (typically brandishing a Bible), or maybe just a common guy believing himself to be a prophet (more oftentimes than not wearing a bedsheet draped over as a makeshift robe) declaring that we should all repent because the world is coming to an end. Ha! As if that will ever happen! Compare with The Cassandra, Just Before the End, and Harbinger of Impending Doom. Not to be confused with Signs of the End Times, A Storm Is Coming, or Vagueness Is Coming, none of which involve sandwich boards. May overlap with Sign of the Apocalypse, the Stock Phrase joking that something unexpected signals the end of the world. When the media does this it's Media Scaremongering. Not to be confused with Edmund McMillen's indie game of the same name. |

The Far Side: One strip has a flea holding up a sign saying "The end of the dog is coming." He's right. Another has the guy who makes all these signs glaring out his shop window as the mushroom clouds bloom, and bemoaning the fact that the bottom just dropped out of the market. |

In Twelve Days, a mysterious organization posts a letter online on December 12, saying that the sinners of the world will start to die on December 13, and the end will finally come on Christmas. Most people don't take it seriously, until high-profile criminals start suddenly dying in a series of violent convulsions, with no apparent cause. | |

Dungeons Of Drakkenheim features the Followers of the Falling Fire, an apocalyptic breakaway sect of the Church of the Sacred Flame who have united around a doom-prophesizing seeress who foresaw the comet of Green Rocks that annihilated Drakkenheim in the first place. The player's guide lets players play a doomsday prophet as a bardic subclass called the College of Doomsayers. |

The Season 1 finale of Arrow has a variation where everyone is running like hell while waving the requisite doomsaying signs, because they've been told an Earthquake Machine is about to level the Glades. Why anyone would waste time making up a sign under those circumstances is not explained. | |

Supernatural. Justified in Season 5 because the angels have recruited Christian fundamentalist street preachers to locate Sam and Dean, as part of their plan to bring about the Apocalypse. So when these preachers say that Angels of the Lord have told them The End Is Nigh, it's the literal truth. It's not a coincidence that in the episode where we find this out, Dean ends up in a Bad Future. | |

The above cards are based on the Doomsayers and Validated Doomsayers from World of Warcraft. The Doomsayers appeared before the launch of the Legion expansion pack, giving warnings of impending doom and handing out pamphlets. Validated Doomsayers appeared later in the expansion after Argus appeared in the skies of Azeroth with updated pamphlets. The content of the pamphlets indicates the doomsayers aren't a unified lot. Some support the Legion, some support the Old Gods, and others are just crazy survivalists. Following on from this the spinoff game Hearthstone has cards based on these Doomsayer characters, which proclaim "The end is coming!" on entering the playfield and destroys everything on the board if allowed to survive to the next turn. He says, "I knew it!" when he dies. If prevented from dying with a silencing effect and then buffed to be able to attack, his attack dialogue is, "Did I miss it?" In Whispers of the Old Gods expansion we have doomsayer's triumphant return in the form of validated doomsayer. Because the expansion is about the hour of twilight,note The day that the old gods awaken and claim the planet as their own, corrupting everything in their path he get the literal last laugh. |

Static Shock — In the episode "Child's Play", A street preacher voiced by Garrett Morris holds one of these signs, and sees a fountain turning a bubbling red as a sign that thirty years of doing this has finally paid off; He is notably upset when it turns out to be a prank with fruit-flavored soda mix. He turns up to the sky and asks plaintively why God is messing with his head. | |

In Dragon Age: Origins: The player can encounter a seemingly insane Chasind barbarian ranting about the Blight in the front courtyard of the Lothering Chantry. Several civilians are trying to silence him, as his shouting is starting to unsettle people. The Warden can choose to ignore him, intimidate him or even shame him into leaving, or try to calm him down with diplomacy. (A sufficiently persuasive Warden can discover the reason for his madness: the darkspawn slaughtered his entire clan, and he was forced to watch as they dragged off his wife.) Another doomsayer can appear in Redcliffe, albeit briefly. He warns that the attack on the village by a horde of walking corpses is a sign of the end of the world and that everyone should repent their sins. Like Lothering, the Warden can ignore or drive off the doomsayer, or they can just kill him. He shouts that he welcomes death as you attack him. |

In The Stormlight Archive, we have poor Tanelat. His job as the last Herald of the Almighty was to show up, inform humanity that the Desolation was at hand, and provide leadership and scientific knowledge to help them survive it. Unfortunately, as a result of getting stuck in Hell for several times as long as he was supposed to, he is nearly catatonic and can do little more than babble. | |

Even before the arrival of Lot and the Hebrews to the title cities in Sodom and Gomorrah, street preacher Alabias regularly warns his fellow Sodomites that they will one day be held to account for the evil they are committing in building their fortune off slave labour and wallowing in decadence and corruption; the other Sodomites laugh him off. He stays on for the cities' destruction in the film's climax, seeing the confirmation of his predictions as reward enough. | |

Mass Effect 2 has a "Mad Prophet" who uses the trope name: "Repent! The end is nigh!" (Presumably, he doesn't know about the Reapers who are planning to destroy all civilization; he blames humans as a "blight" — "You, sir, are a blight! And you! And you!") | |

In the Mass Effect series: Mass Effect: Manuel, a delusional research assistant at the Eden Prime dig site, correctly foreshadows the Reaper's coming. He's rewarded with a punch to the face, courtesy of a renegade Shepard. Mass Effect 2 has a "Mad Prophet" who uses the trope name: "Repent! The end is nigh!" (Presumably, he doesn't know about the Reapers who are planning to destroy all civilization; he blames humans as a "blight" — "You, sir, are a blight! And you! And you!") The Mad Prophet returns for a brief cameo in the Mass Effect 3 DLC campaign "Omega", blaming humans for the occupation of Omega (which is factually correct, by the way) and the ongoing Reaper invasion. |

The villains in Far Cry 5 are the members of a fanatical doomsday cult that believes the world is about to end and are launching a holy war to "cleanse" nonbelievers of their sins (through torture, drugs, and brainwashing). Disturbingly, the end of the game reveals that they were actually right the whole time- due to geopolitical issues beyond the control of them or the player, nuclear war breaks out. | |

In one Batman storyline, the antihero Anarky distributes money to a wide variety of anti-establishment groups and individuals, one of whom is a doomsday prophet who uses part of the money to pay homeless people to walk around Gotham wearing sandwich-board signs proclaiming his message. (Unfortunately, he uses the rest of the money to finance his plan to blow up most of downtown Gotham, which he believes will kick-start the apocalypse.) | |

A Song of Ice and Fire. Tyrion Lannister comes across a Begging Brother preaching about the red comet as a Portent of Doom and decrying the corruption of the current regime. Westeros is already in the midst of a Civil War so none of this is news, but it serves a foreshadowing for the later increase in religious fundamentalism. | |

It's worth mentioning that The Bible is ambivalent about these types, claiming that only God the Father (Jesus himself saying he doesn't know) knows when the world will end and anyone preaching of this is either misguided or outright a false prophet.

Arrowverse The Season 1 finale of Arrow has a variation where everyone is running like hell while waving the requisite doomsaying signs, because they've been told an Earthquake Machine is about to level the Glades. Why anyone would waste time making up a sign under those circumstances is not explained. In Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019), Wil Wheaton plays a doomsday preacher who carries such a sign, warning people that the end is near and that Supergirl cannot save them, when a dragon comes out of the sky and attacks him, only for Supergirl to suddenly zoom down and protect him from the dragon's flame breath. Legends of Tomorrow. In "The One Where We're Trapped on TV", the Fates have rewritten history so Earth is a Nineteen Eighty-Four-type dystopia. |

Warhammer features Flagellants, mobs of unhinged religious fanatics who are convinced that the latest Chaos invasion, Orc Waaagh!, Dark Elf raid, Skaven uprising, Undead attack, civil war... anyway, they're convinced that it's the End Times and want to take part in the final battle. Since their fervor makes them fearless and they like to bludgeon enemies to death with two-handed flails, Empire generals tolerate their presence, even if army morale tends to suffer slightly. | |

The Book of Mormon: Prophets always came and warned people before they were entirely wiped out. Lehi is stated to be a contemporary of Jeremiah and had a similar "Jerusalem will be destroyed unless you repent" message. The people plot his death in response. Abinadi warns the people of King Noah that they will be captured and driven and persecuted, and if they still don't repent, they will be entirely exterminated. The king tries to dismiss him as a madman, but when Abinadi starts glowing while preaching, that won't stick. So he executes Abinadi instead. Ether warns the last Jaredite king about the coming total mutual annihilation, but is rejected and has to run away and hide to avoid being killed. |

In Infinite Space, Adis people do this near the end of the game. Of course, by the time they do this, the universe destruction has already started to happen. | |

In Experimental Film, the farmer Hendrij Wròbl let all his animals go, burned his crops, and led his family into the remains of the field, where they spent two weeks waiting for the end. Nine-year-old Giscelia was the Sole Survivor, with the rest of her family dying of privation, being beaten to death by Hendrij, or in Hendrij's case, getting decapitated by Lady Midday. | |

12 Monkeys has one who stops his ranting to address the main character whilst in 1996. It's implied that many doomsayers are actually time travelers scattered throughout history who have gone insane. | |

The creepy eyeless vagrant from Broken Saints wears a sandwich board with the message "The End is Nigh" written over it. He turned out to be an hologram created by the Big Bad | |

Star Trek: Voyager. In "Future's End" a Starfleet timeship piloted by Captain Braxton tries to destroy Voyager, claiming they'll be responsible for a disaster that will destroy the entire solar system in the 29th Century. Voyager resists and they get pulled into a time rift, emerging in 1990's Earth where the Voyager crew find Captain Braxton (who ended up crashing back in The '60s) as a crazed hobo putting up signs saying the End is Nigh. Technically he's about 900 years out, but what's nigh is the launch of the timeship by a 20th Century Corrupt Corporate Executive who stole it from Braxton, which will lead to the destruction of the solar system when it arrives in the future. | |

The rabbit community of Crossed Claws has Jered, an old rabbit raving about how cats in the fields are going to kill them all. Of course, while there is a cat out there, she's one of the most kindhearted characters in the comic. Of course, her caretakers are another story... | |

A homeless guy in Santa Monica does this in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Someone familiar with the game's plot and the Old World of Darkness Metaplot will find grains of truth in most of what he says. | |
