| rdfs:comment | - Serious Business was the national newspaper of Scientopia and later of New Scientopia. It started publishing on January 10, 2009. It was short-lived, with only five editions published.
- Serious Business is when a story revolves around an activity where a sizable portion of the in-story population takes it far more seriously than they should. If something's popularity rivals that of Elvis Presley, The Beatles, or Michael Jackson; or if there are mainstream schools devoted to it instead of teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, it's Serious Business.

- Serious Business, also rendered SRS BSNS and other such variations, is a term almost always used in a facetious way to refer to things that are nothing of the sort, but that people blow out of proportion until everyone is ready to break out the flamethrowers. In other words, Serious Business is a term for the mountains which have been made out of molehills. It is always capitalized to show how serious the business is. And if you believe that last line, you haven't been paying attention. The PPC is emphatically NOT Serious Business. The PPC is well aware that it is silly, and likes it way.
- Though all the users of Serious Business are clearly office workers and businesspeople in general, John believes the Serious Business users are his Dad's "fellow street performers" before learning of his Dad's real occupation. During Act 1, a timestamp appears next to the screen name of message senders, indicating when they sent the message. However, after the "cataclysmic event", all of the timestamps consistently read "??:??." This is most likely due to the PDA being in The Medium, part of the Incipisphere, "a place untouched by the flow of time."
- BEING PHYLLOGICAL IS SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS. SO SERIOUS YOU HAVE TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS AND STEAL *CHAN MEMES. WELL, WE STOLE YOUR MEME, FUCKERS? HUH? WELL, WE STOLE EPIC FAIL AS WELL, AND ILLOGIFIED IT. HUH? SORRY, I WAS JUST TALKING TO SOME FICTIONAL /B/TARDS THERE. NOW WHERE WERE WE? YEAH, SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS, THIS WHOLE ILLOGICAL THING IS.

| abstract | - Serious Business, also rendered SRS BSNS and other such variations, is a term almost always used in a facetious way to refer to things that are nothing of the sort, but that people blow out of proportion until everyone is ready to break out the flamethrowers. In other words, Serious Business is a term for the mountains which have been made out of molehills. It is always capitalized to show how serious the business is. And if you believe that last line, you haven't been paying attention. Mary Sues are often guilty of Serious Business, especially in the form of gratuitous angst and drama over ridiculous things, such as being too beautiful. While this is not as serious flagrant an infraction against good sense as trivialization, it is still annoying and may be a charge if carried to extremes. The PPC is emphatically NOT Serious Business. The PPC is well aware that it is silly, and likes it way. Trolls are strongly attracted to Serious Business and are all too willing to use the drama produced by it to their advantage. Not to be confused with Sirius Business.

MEMES. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Shit. Anyway, back to the article. SERIOUS BUSINESS CAN BE FOUND IN MANY PLACES, AND IS SO SERIOUS, IT MUST BE SPELLED IN ALL CAPS, OR YOU WILL BE BLANCMANGED. THIS ARTICLE IS COMPLETELY, 100% SERIOUS BUSINESS. NO FUNNY BUSINESS, THIS WHOLE THING IS SERIOUS. FUCKING. BUSINESS. Lol, I like doing it wrong. And, this article still reaks of fail. LOL, Tamia

It's often a Silly Reason for War, and can turn a casual conversation into a heated Cavemen vs. Astronauts Debate. Frequently "opposed" by the Cavalier Competitor. Compare "Stop Having Fun!" Guys.

This is most likely due to the PDA being in The Medium, part of the Incipisphere, "a place untouched by the flow of time." "Serious business" is also the attention notice on the letter for Dr. David Brinner carried by Peregrine Mendicant. He apparently lives on SE 267th Street in Maple Valley, Washington, the exact street John lives on. This is likely the name of one of Dad's neighbor-associates. Dr. David Brinner, Ghost Psychiatrist is a longstanding MS Paint Adventures character. In the post-scratch universe, Dad is captured and imprisoned on Derse, but the Draconian Dignitary takes a liking to him and sets up a new version of Serious Business for him to use. This version allows him to communicate with citizens of Derse but only allows messages to be sent within the kingdom, preventing Dad from contacting his daughter or her friends. He uses it mainly to provide fashion advice to Dersites, who have embraced Dad's business attire as a new fashion trend (partially because the Dignitary has forced everyone to wear it under penalty of death). Delirious Biznasty is a similar application, although with a much increased radness attribute for cool bros in hats.
