Not Serious shows just how bad the dreaded family dinner, or any situation, can get, and how desperate one can be to retreat, when Dad Jokes make it just too unbearable.    I would take The Love Guru, Vogon Poetry, and the worst American Idol contestants over Dad Jokes any day.    “Why do melons have weddings? Because they cantaloupe” and “What do you call a bear with no teeth? A Gummy Bear” are two of the better ones, for the sole reason that they follow the setup-punchline format. Most don’t.   If you think those two were awful, just wait for the bad puns followed by renditions and botched impersonations of sitcom characters.    Don’t worry. I won’t go that far. I’m not that cruel.     Dad Jokes are NOT a serious subject.    This is NOT to be taken seriously. This is Not Serious.                                                                                                                                                                                         Some additional material for this episode (In No Particular Order):   Vogon Poetry (Video)   Vogon Poetry (Fandom)   Vogon Poetry (Written)   The Love Guru (2008) - IMDb   Top 10 Worst American Idol Auditions of All Time   SEAL Team Six Wikipedia Page   Alec Baldwin SNL Fandom   Airplane II: The Sequel (1982) - IMDb   Shakey's Pizza Wikipedia Page   Subway (restaurant) Wikipedia Page     This episode features no sound effects   This episode features no Intro Music or Outro Music                                                                                                                                                                                      This podcast currently features no paid sponsorships, partnerships, advertisements, or monetization of any kind.

Not Serious takes on Cycling.    If the pros in this sport don’t do too many PED’s, who does?   To every group of Cyclists who takes up space outside of the bike lane instead of lining up 1 by 1: there is a future Darwin Award awaiting one of you!      Cycling is NOT a serious subject.   This is NOT to be taken seriously.

Not Serious takes on something that will never end: Marvel Movies & Shows.     The 5th Phase has been announced, and that will also be part of MCU’s equivalent of the Silent Film Era. This thing’s just getting started.    Action figures and comic books have taken on lives of their own. On the screen. Maybe it's because adults who hate their jobs and/or lives need to watch superheroes triumph over evil to stay sane? But these Mad Libs are so predictable! There’s better escapism!    Marvel Movies & Shows are NOT a serious subject.    This is NOT to be taken seriously.

Not Serious takes on the ultimate escape from the real world: VR. But it hasn’t really caught on like it was supposed to. I wonder why?     You’re wearing the bulky goggles, seeing a virtual beach, it gets close to feeling real – just for a second – until you smell something, and that’s when it’s all over: there’s a reason that sandy beach feels like your bathroom’s shag carpeting and smells like your bathroom, too. That’s no beach. Is VR any more real than that dream you had last night? No. And sleeping is free. VR isn’t.   VR is NOT a serious subject.   This is NOT to be taken seriously.

Not Serious takes on Fitness. Not jogging, lifting weights, or playing sports. The other Fitness. The nonsense that enters our lives during The Holiday Season and leaves just in time for us to party on St. Patty’s Day: Trendy Fitness.    Some examples include The Shake Weight, Weight Loss Pills, and, The Fitness Mirror. If you aren’t done with that mirror yet, you will be when the next fad comes along, or when you realize that everything on that mirror is also on YouTube.   Yesterday’s trendy workout gear, along with those DVD’s you forgot about, is NOT a serious subject.   This is NOT to be taken seriously.

Not Serious documents a chilling nightmare that takes place while gathering with family and friends. On The 4th of July!   Too many relationships in one room, multiple passive-aggressive chemistries, cliques, and even the same people bragging about the same thing year after year after year after year after year!  There are never enough new things to talk about, so it never takes long for an outbreak of the recycled, patchwork quilt of topics for conversation that have gotten old for everyone!   Is it really about celebrating the country and the sacrifices made to make it happen, or is it about a certain someone showing off and bragging to the siblings, cousins, and in-laws?   A drink or two can make some things better at least.    Nightmares that happen on holidays, such as the 4th, are NOT a serious subject.  But the 4th itself is.    This is NOT to be taken seriously. This is Not Serious.                                                                                                                                                                                         Some additional material for this episode (In No Particular Order):   The McPoyle Twins   IKEA Wikipedia Page   Sigma Chi Wikipedia Page   Beer Pong Wikipedia Page   20 Best July 4th Fireworks Shows in America   This episode features no sound effects   This episode features no Intro Music or Outro Music                                                                                                                                                                                        This podcast currently features no paid sponsorships, partnerships, advertisements, or monetization of any kind.
