* Mal of ''HeadTrip'' warns her siblings in the tone and posture of a [[DrillSergeantNasty drill sergeant]] (even using the words "troops," "soldiers," and "mission") not to talk or make any sound whatsoever while watching the final season of ''[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaReimagined Battlestar Galactica]]''. She is dumbfounded to find that they don't in fact give a rat's behind about the show.

* In a ''TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'' story, tennis was created to make sure there is always a champion to battle an ancient death machine in a game of tennis every year so it does not destroy the world. The U.S. government loses a team of Navy [=SEALs=] to the tennis temple's security system everytime they have to replace the current tennis champion. Also, they have to get through robot commando temple guards to even get to the temple.

* In ''ProblemSleuth'' if something is [[RunningGag "Incredibly Silly,"]] you can pretty much be sure it's also [[RunningGag "SERIOUS BUSINESS."]]
** The log header on log John's dad's PDA declares ties to be Serious Business.

** Emeril's trashpotting even acts as a [=~Chekhov's Skill~=] in one arc, where Philippe goes missing -- he manages to figure out where he's going based off a sole discarded can of baked beans.

The U.S. government loses a team of Navy [=SEALs=] to the tennis temple's security system everytime they have to replace the current tennis champion. Also, they have to get through robot commando temple guards to even get to the temple. Really.

* In {{Nectar Of The Gods}}, bartenders are the general focus of the Webcomic, in the {{Tournament Arc}} bartending and mixing cocktails is very {{Serious Business}}!

* ''SomethingPositive'' features the Teddy Bear Liberation Front. Plenty of people in RealLife find the idea of plushie fetishism weird or disturbing, but as fetishes go, it's pretty harmless. The TBLF think it's so disgusting they kill and torture people who make, sell, or use "yiffable" plushies.

* In ''ProblemSleuth'' if something is [[RunningGag "Incredibly Silly,"]] you can pretty much be sure it's also [[RunningGag "SERIOUS BUSINESS."]]

Ethan from ''CtrlAltDel'', as well as Gabe and Tycho from ''PennyArcade'' also tend to treat their respective hobbies (Videogames and/or tabletop gaming) as SeriousBusiness, although this is probably just the authors poking fun at the "hardcore gaming" mentality.

** It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that it's not just the enforcers who have powers. Think about this for a moment: people who enjoy hurting others and/or hurting themselves, in possession of superpowers. And not just enjoying a little, either. People who literally GET OFF from either the pain they themselves feel, or the pain that others feel. Without someone to keep them in line, how is that NOT supervillains just waiting to happen?
