why so serious

The phrase the villain "The Joker" played by Heath Ledger uses in the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight" when he asks his victims why they are always so serious and not smiling.

The Joker holds a knife up to Rachel Dawes mouth and tells her the story of how he got his scars. He says that one night when his parents were fighting as a young child and he was watching from the corner, his dad asked him "Why so serious?" and used a knife to cut into his cheeks so it looked like he was always smiling.
