why so serious?

A very popular tagline for the movie "The Dark Knight". The phrase has achieved a level of popularity, earning it spots as an internet meme, several XBOX Live account names, and something for 13 year olds to put in their signatures on forums to be scary and angsty.

By the year 2018, this will be the new "Where's the Beef?!"
20 Years After the Dark Knight...

Seroquel

Since the top definition isn't accurate I'm going to use this as a comment.

Seroquel is addictive, if i just all of a sudden stop taking it i get withdrawals, but if you are having problems with the sleep part of it, ask to take it at night and then a really low dose in the morning. But other than that its pretty much a neutral medication, it works for some people, but its super fucking hard to find a medication that works for people with mood disorders that aren't unipolar (like depression), so bipolar people have to try a lot of stuff
Yeah, Seroquel doesn't work for me, but my cousin really liked it.
