Perhaps all I need say, then, is that my current campaign is in part based on the Xena-verse.

D&D is a unique route to fun. A table full of friends, crying from laughter at some random quip, or leaning in to see if their comrade fails his next Death Save, it's all the same to me. I get immense pleasure from both providing that table, and sitting at it. And this is to say nothing of the delicious DM'ing challenge of designing adventures and world-building.
I take it seriously, because it's [a] my primary leisure pursuit, one of my primary methods of socialising, [c] my only method of staying in healthy contact with my oldest friends, who have scattered across the country and who regularly descend on my house for a weekend of D&D.

Serious enough that I will do whatever possible to keep a game going but not so serious that it isn't fun anymore. I really try to avoid missing a week of play at all costs but if playing means we are without half the players or I skip an important work or family obligation then it probably isn't going to be very fun going forward.

I take it seriously, because making a good story is worth taking seriously. Like others in this thread, I write and sell adventures. If someone is going to part with their hard-earned, even if it's only $1.99 on DM's Guild, that's important. My customers deserve quality, and that comes from taking the game seriously.
Writing good entertainment means you have to take it seriously. Goofball comics are just goofballs, right? They don't take anything seriously, right? Except they do. Groucho Marx, the Howard brothers (with Larry Fine), worked like animals All. The. Time. to do the goofy stuff that's just fun, the antithesis of "serious."
That said, there's a reason this picture exists:

Outside of the session, not all. Certainly not as serious as I see many discuss gaming on the interwebz. Its hard to get too riled up about the rules how we pretend to be an elf.
That said, at the table I cannot stand players who are always cracking jokes, bull$:/!ing and making stupid movie references. I want to play the game, not be an audience for your sub-par comedy routine.
