Line 6:
* In ''[[Triangle and Robert]]'', cooking and food is serious business. Cuisine magic powers the comic's most fearsome warriors, several of the characters have some sort of mystical cooking skill, most of them are descended from ancient lineages of battle-cooks, and it is eventually revealed that the entire universe is made out of pudding.
* ''[[PS238]]'':

* Mal of ''[[Head Trip]]'' warns her siblings in the tone and posture of a [[Drill Sergeant Nasty|drill sergeant]] (even using the words "troops," "soldiers," and "mission") not to talk or make any sound whatsoever while watching the final season of ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined|Battlestar Galactica]]''. She is dumbfounded to find that they don't in fact give a rat's behind about the show.
* Emeril LeGoinegasque, a supporting character in ''[[Achewood]]'', is the president of a club dedicated to the made-up hobby of Trashspotting, driving around on garbage day and building up extensively detailed personality profiles of people they've never even met based on what they throw out. He lives and breathes trashspotting, his character blog (yes, ''Achewood'' characters get their own blogs) was all about his trashspotting exploits, and he even had a trashspotting forum for a while. To him and his club, if to nobody else on Earth, other peoples' garbage is serious business.
Line 16:
* Science fiction and fantasy, and the fandom that has built up around them, are ''very'' [[Serious Business]] in ''[[Fans]]''.
* Darth Maul and Marluxia have come to blows over smoothie flavors in ''[[Ansem Retort]]''.

* ''[[Collar 6]]'' features a BDSM society that keeps superpowered enforcers on retainer. Apparently the Judiaticizes are authorized to ''kill'' people.
** It's [[Justified Trope|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 based on whether they are sadists or masochists (or both). 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?
