Serious Business/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

Line 69:

** Speaking of Candace, the whole "busting my brothers" dream is practically her way of life.

** It's pretty much Doofenschmirtz' whole schtick. Often it's lampshaded that he could solve whatever's bugging him quite simply (e.g. moving a chair to another window), but usually dismisses it as "too much hassle" and instead builds is Inators to change everything else (e.g. moving a building blocking his view).

* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' typically had Dad being the progenitor of Serious Business. In one episode he goes to insane lengths to get at his wife's fresh-baked muffins as quickly as possible. In another, he insists that Dexter be able to defeat Dee Dee at a snowball fight because Dad used to be a snowball god until he was defeated by...Mom, who explains that she just playfully lobbed a little snow at him one day and he [[Freak-Out|freaked out]], at which point Dad realizes he ''was'' making a big deal over nothing.

** And in "Green Isn't Your Color", we see that secret keeping is Serious Business to Pinkie Pie, so much so, that she will break the laws of physics to enforce it.

*** On that note, "The Last Roundup" is a stark reminder that if you value your continued existence, you never ever EVER '''EVER''' '''''EVER''''' break a Pinkie-Promise.

Line 87:

* In [[Regular Show]], ''anything and everything'' can be serious business, Rock paper scissors summoning an [[Eldritch Abomination]], Death's preferred method of gambling for souls being arm wrestling, posting viral videos being grounds for an [[And I Must Scream]]. Most of the plots start with something harmless before snowballing into a [[Cosmic Horror Story]].
