13
14	----
15	!!Provides examples of:
16	* AffectionateParody: [[OncePerEpisode Every review]] begins with a parody of the infamous BondGunBarrel.
17	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: What Rick considers Bond's missing hat in Film/{{Thunderball}}. He stops just short of [[InvokedTrope invoking it by name]].
18	* CausticCritic: Rick was ''not'' a fan of ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'', especially after hailing ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' as a nearly perfect ''Bond'' film that could compete with films ''today''.
19	* {{Cliffhanger}}: The ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' review ends with TheReveal that [[spoiler: Ben is suing Rick]].
20	** LeftHanging: More than two and a half months have passed since ''Thunderball'', with no sign of ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' beyond [[WordOfGod "soon"]].
21	* CoverVersion: Episode outros starting with ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' feature members of the LetsPlay/TheDPad team performing (usually) parodies of the films' theme songs.
22	** ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'': C/J performs a karaoke-style version of the theme.
23	** ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'': Ben performs the theme in the style of Fred Schneider of Music/TheB52s.
24	** ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'': FullHeartLaserSword performs a cover of Music/JohnnyCash's "Thunderball" theme, ending with the final line of Music/TomJones's version.
25	* MoodWhiplash: There is a distinct tonal shift between the reviews of ''Goldfinger'' and ''Film/{{Thunderball}}''.
26	* MoralEventHorizon: What Rick considers the RapePortrayedAsRedemption subplot of ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}''. He's too disgusted to even talk about the UnfortunateImplications of Bond's hypothesis that he "must have appealed to [Pussy Galore's] [[ChildByRape maternal instincts]]" to cause her HeelFaceTurn.
27	* OfficialCouple: The ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' review is set against Rick and co-reviewer Sarah's actual second anniversary.
28	* OneWordTitle
29	* {{Portmantitle}}: The show's title is a {{Portmanteau}} of "series" and "seriously". [[DontExplainTheJoke This had to be explained to the show's first commenter.]]
30	* TheReveal: The one suing Rick for failing to give proper credit... is [[spoiler: Ben]].
31	* RunningGag: After watching the ''Climax!'' version of ''Casino Royale'', Rick falls asleep at even the mention of baccarat.
32	** M's office is constantly full of pot smoke after Moneypenny describes their efforts in ''Film/DrNo'' as "burning the air between here and Jamaica".
33	* TheStoner: M, of all people.
