Serious Awesomeness! is a two-disc live DVD by American band The Aquabats, released on Fearless Records on November 18, 2003.
Disc one of Serious Awesomeness contains a full-length recording of a live concert performance by The Aquabats at The Glass House club in Pomona, California in February 2003, accompanied by two official music videos and a documentary featurette on the band. The second disc features numerous live clips spanning The Aquabats' career from 1994 to 2003.
In a contemporary review, Scott Heisel of Punknews.org gave Serious Awesomeness! four stars out of five, saying that it "should hopefully revive interest in this band's waning popularity, as this DVD shows they still have relevance. More importantly, this band is goddamn funny live, and people need to know that. A worthy buy if you're a fan or if you're looking to discover the Aquabats for the first time – all of their bests songs are on here in one form or another, and the Bat Commander is in rare form in these concert pieces."
