Why So Serious

1. Let's put a smile on that face!

2. A response to someone acting serious and/or angry.

1. "Do you wanna know how I got these scars? My father was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it; he turns to me, and he says, 'Why so serious?' He comes at me with the knife, 'Why so serious?' He sticks the blade in my mouth. 'Let's put a smile on that face!' And...Why so serious?"

2. Person 1: "Halo is the best game ever, and everything else sucks! No other game is as good as Halo!"
You: "Why so serious?"
Person 2: "You never do anything right, why do I always have to do things with you!?"
You: "Why so serious?"

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.

First off, this is used mostly by emo kids who use it for a picture caption on their myspace. People who say it don't realize how annoying it is. Also, asking "why so cereal?" deserves a punch. Just wait until another movie comes out then steal shit from there too!

Why so serious?

This line is probably going down in history as the most famous
and memorable quote from the new Batman movie 'The Dark Knight'.
Spoken by the late Heath Ledger as The Joker.
The tagline was also used in the production company's marketing campaign for the movie.

In every day use it can be used to tell someone to lighten up.

The Joker: 'Why so serious? Let's put a smile on that face!'
