Are those correct?

When asking :" why so serious" or "why so tired"?
They are widely used, but are they actually correct? and what's the explanation for it?-----Thanks in advance.

Technically, they are not correct, but they are colloquial and accepted. "are you"is omitted from the question. [ Edit: someone will probably find the construction in Shakespeare, making it "correct".
