An Unusual Euphemism used to describe a character's death (regardless of whether it has actually occurred), where X is a place that exemplifies the deceased's personality, interests or habits. May or may not be a subtrope of Never Say "Die" (depending on the target audience of the work) and, should that be the case, a Sister Trope (albeit more versatile) to He Didn't Make It. It may also overlap with No Longer with Us (in which case it is almost always Played for Laughs) if the character has really gone to some great X in the sky (and this is mistaken as an euphemism), or if the character has really died (and others believe that he has gone to the great X in the sky). |

In The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, Dirk Gently, attempting a Phony Psychic scam, tells a woman her husband must be "flighty", only to be told that he's a fighter pilot who disappeared over the North Sea two weeks earlier. In a panic, he babbles that the man has gone to "the great something-or-other in the sky". (As usual, he turns out to be exactly right.) | |

Camp Lazlo: The episodes "Over Cooked Beans" and "Are You There, S.M.I.T.S.? It's Me, Samson!" have the campers use "Scout Master in the Sky", or "Smits" for short, as an Unusual Euphemism for God. In "Snake Eyes", Lazlo says the campers went to the "great big cabin in the sky" when he believes the other campers have been eaten by a snake. It turns out they are all sitting in a nearby tree. |

He is guided up by the Grim Tow Truck, and stands at the Pearly Garage Door, which is to be opened by a truck named Saint Peterbilt. Of course, Rocko gets the car fixed back in O-town, which means the car doesn't actually go past the Pearly Garage Door. | |

CatDog has used this trope several times. At one point in "Fred the Flying Fish", Cat believes that he and Dog have died and tearfully tells his conjoined twin brother that they've gone to the big scratching post in the sky. Another case happens during Cat and Dog's dreams of living separate lives in "It's A Wonderful Half-Life", when the Greasers start to attack Cat. In "CatDog 3001", Winslow's descendant Winslow the 38th asks CatDog if they're ready to go to the big litter box in the sky. Cat refers to dying as "skiddily-bopping to the lonely alley in the sky" in "Cat Gone Bad". |

Goof Troop has used the trope in several episodes. In the episode "Axed by Addition", Pete is informed by doctors at the hospital that his son P.J. is gone. He misinterprets this as meaning that P.J. is dead and laments that his son has gone to the little playground in the sky. During a political debate in "A Goof of the People", Pete tells a bogus sob story of how he used to have a dog named Chester until he went to "the great kennel in the sky". When in jail for Pete wasting water during a drought in "Bringin' on the Rain", Goofy asks Pete how the daisy he's trying to grow is doing. Pete tells him that the daisy has gone to the compost heap in the sky. In "E = MC Goof", Pete cries that he'll be going to the used car lot in the sky when he and Goofy are in danger of flying into the sun. |
