but seriously

This term is usually used after saying a non-intended humorous quote or phrase.

This term can also be used to put a serious twist on your joke, and frequently intensifies the situation.

It is also used to make a joke more humorous, this is called backing-up(usually used after your not-so-funny-joke)
