Metalocalypse, the cult-classic Adult Swim series that debuted in 2006, introduced the world to Dr. Rockso, the 'Rock n' Roll Clown' (voiced by Mark Hamill). In the 2007 episode 'Dethclown,' the high-strung, drug-addled clown is in the middle of a frantic rant when his nose simply detaches and falls to the floor, leaving him momentarily stunned before he continues his chaotic behavior. This clip has become a staple in meme culture for representing the exact moment a person begins to 'fall apart' physically or mentally. It is used to illustrate situations where the consequences of one's lifestyle or poor decisions finally manifest in a visible, often gross, way. Commonly, it serves as a reaction to burnout, extreme exhaustion, or failing to keep a secret hidden. Example captions include: 'Me trying to keep it together on a Monday morning' and 'When the 'it is what it is' lifestyle finally catches up to you.'
