* Along the same vein, ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' is a web series which pits two fictional characters against each other in... well, a battle to the death. The show features fairly extensive research on the combatants involved, but many of the outcomes are taken a bit too seriously by various fans of the losing side. While many complaints [[JustifiedTrope are indeed]] founded into research that could have swung the battle but the team missed ([[ChekhovsSkill subtle]] or [[CriticalResearchFailure obvious]]), others are simply founded on how the critic [[FandomRivalry likes Character X more than Character Y]], and other complains are just... [[InsaneTrollLogic not really founded on anything]]. One of the biggest examples of this has to be [[spoiler:Goku losing to Superman. Twice. ''Dragonball'' fans did not appreciate]].

* [[http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-5825493270005637835# This]] (subtitled) episode of the Québecquois series "Tom et ses chums" ("Tom and his pals") has the titular character playing a game of D&D with old friends. What he doesn't realize beforehand is that they've kept playing every week during the years he hasn't seen them (meaning they have absurdly high-level characters), and for them (barring the GM), this is very serious business. When they demand that his new character start at level 1 (making him useless since the encounters are tailored for a high-level group), and then belittle him for being a peasant, he gives up and decides to be TheLoonie.

* ''Series/{{Noob}}'' takes the "{{MMORPG}} are serious business" route also, but is much more nuanced than ''TheGuild'' due to them mostly showing up in reports about video game addiction in mainstream media in France. SkeweredPriorities happens a lot and the elite guilds ask for people to joining them to have a lifestyle that can only happen if you're single and unemployed. At the same time, people that arrive in the top in the domain get enough recongnition to appear in advertisements and live off it. Characters also seen doing other stuff than playing, while a small portion of the cast is explictly doing it for fun and being able to enjoy the company of their guildmates.

* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' uses this a bunch.
** Princess Celestia's all-consuming love of tea parties is a recurring plot point. She banishes Twilight to Ponyville for the crime of missing her tea party (never mind that Twilight was busy ''saving the world'' at the time). She's been to "ten... hundred... thousand... million!" tea parties in her life, and she remembers them all in excruciating detail. She refuses to cut a visit to Ponyville short to deal with a major fire in Manehattan--but she immediately cuts the visit short upon learning that Luna is hosting a tea party without her.
** In "Ponynet Fight!" Twilight is dead serious about correcting others' bad science on the internet. Which just makes it [[TheGadfly so much fun to mess with her]].
** The organized crime families take their badminton very seriously. The entire Manehattan branch of the Apple family is devoted to fielding a team.
