* ''{{Film/Sherlock}}''. Crowds of of these are seen being broken up by mounted police outside the Houses of Parliament, indicating the "Panic, sheer bloody panic!" inspired by the villainous Lord Blackwood's return from the dead.

* ''{{Tintin}}'' ("The Shooting Star"). The [[GoMadFromTheRevelation mad]] ex-astronomer Philippulus goes round in white robes, banging a gong and generally making a nuisance of himself.

An obligatory trope for any depiction of TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt is some [[CrazyHomelessPeople crazy-looking person]] (usually holding a sign) declaring that we should all repent because the world is coming to an end. Ha! [[CassandraTruth As if that will ever happen!]]

* ''DoctorWho'' ("The Shakespeare Code"). The doomsayer is quite delighted that the end of the world is happening, crying: "I told ye so! I told ye so!"

* Played for black comedy in the opening titles of ''{{Zombieland}}'', where a man with a sign saying THE END IS NEAR is being chased by zombies.

* [[MilleniumBug Y2K.]]

** Another doomsayer can appear in Redcliffe, albeit briefly. He warns that the attack on the village by a [[NightOfTheLivingMooks horde of walking corpses]] is a sign of the end of the world.

* In DragonAge: Origins, players can encounter a seemingly insane Chasind barbarian ranting about the end of the world 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 [[AFateWorseThanDeath dragged off his wife]].)
