Those characters that never show any emotion? Or, if they do show emotion, it's always anger and/or despondency? Yeah, every single one of them was at one point told to "cheer up a little". The result? Horrible. It can range from merely discomforting to downright Squick, as they just don't get it. Expect more or less horrified reactions from their friends. Sometimes appears alongside HA HA HA—No when they're especially not buying it.
This trope is often accompanied by audible cracking, and always played for laughs. Not to be confused with Stepford Smiler, though they can overlap. May be the result of Finger-Forced Smile. Compare Slasher Smile, for when the smile goes from merely creepy to horrific, and Grin of Rage, when a person smiles when they're angry. See also Technically a Smile. Opposite of When She Smiles, where a smile is especially nice for a character who rarely shows it.
Here is a compilation with a lot of examples of this trope.

Sengoku Basara: You'd think that with him being a very pretty young man, it'd be nice to see Mori Motonari smiling for a change. It's not. Sure, it means he's happy, but the reason he's happy is probably that he's devised the perfect method to ruin your life.

Lemongrab of Adventure Time does this in "Too Young". A perpetually bitter, angry sourpuss, he assumes that a harmless prank was some kind of personal attack. Once he was informed that it was a prank, he tries to understand what a prank is. Not entirely grasping the concept of a joke, he smiles a very quick, little goofy smile...then starts Laughing Mad in a HA HA HA—No sort of fashion. Then he sends everyone in the room to the dungeon. (In later episodes, he is shown smiling rather cutely when he is actually genuinely happy.)

Terminator 2: Judgment Day: The eponymous killer robot does this in a deleted scene (if not the Trope Codifier then at least a perfect textbook example): John tries to get him to smile, and so the T-800 scans the mouth of a grinning man talking on the telephone to see how it's done. Since he didn't scan the muscles above the mouth, it leads to a bizarrely creepy smile that has Arnie still affecting a scowl from the cheekbones up. When John suggests that he stop, the "smile" instantly leaves his face.
Brought back for Terminator Genisys, with hilarious results. The first time Pops shows it off to Kyle Reese, Sarah even remarks "I've been trying to teach him to blend in. I know, it needs work." Later, Pops does the same thing when getting his mugshot photo taken.

In Kamen Rider Amazons, Haruka and Takai prepare to go Undercover as Lovers at a restaurant run by Amazons. Haruka encourages Takai to smile so that she'll look more convincing as his girlfriend. The others are unnerved by the result, and Haruka hastily says it's probably better if she doesn't smile.

Suikoden V has Sagiri, who was abducted by the assassin group Nether Gate as a child and trained to smile disarmingly all the time. Their logic was that a pleasantly smiling girl would put their victims off-guard. It worked so well that, until the end of the game, she's incapable of doing anything but smiling.

Maika of Blend-S has this as a recurring issue. She's a very kind and pleasant person, but when she gets nervous or anxious she gets a scary look in her eyes and her smiles become terrifying. This tanked numerous job interviews she had until she came across Cafe Stile, which hired her because of this trait. Stile is a Cosplay Café where every waitress has a particular role, such as tsundere or little sister. The manager, Dino, hires Maika to be the "Sadist" character.

The Vision from the Marvel Universe has this problem from time to time.
During The Avengers (Kurt Busiek), The Avengers become a UN organization, and have to get new photo IDs to go with the change of status. Vision's attempt to smile for his photo at She-Hulk's urging is priceless◊. He seems to do just fine on the rare occasion that he actually wants to smile, but apparently, photo day is his downfall.
At one point during Geoff Johns' run of The Avengers, he's asked to smile for a photo. He does so technically, but it's... well, damned creepy looking. So Vis alters the photo to get rid of it.
In The Vision (2015), the Vision's fake smile◊ when he greets George and Martha for the first time cannot be unseen.

The Simpsons:
This has happened at least twice with Mr. Burns. First, in "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish", when he was running for governor, and he's being shown an artist's rendition of his political ad where he's standing tall on a mountain top. He asks "Why are my teeth showing like that?!" to which his advisor responds "Because you're smiling!" Mr. Burns commends him for producing the sort of trickery they were being paid for. Later he actually smiles, and it causes him physical pain to do so.
In "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story", Mr. Burns bets his fortune to the Rich Texan over who can get a photo with a kid smiling. He loses because he is so creepy when smiling that all the town's children (and Otto) cry when standing next to him.
Moe, beaten down into misanthropy by a hard life, rarely tries to smile, and it always looks forced, desperate, and a little creepy when does.
In "Homer vs. The Eighteenth Amendment", Rex Banner, the no-nonsense police officer trusted with keeping Springfield dry when it briefly enacted Prohibition. He tries to laugh at some point but only ends up choking and coughing.
In "Last Tap Dance In Springfield", when Lisa takes up tap dancing her instructor, Little Vicky, tells her to "turn your frown upside-down!" and then chastises her when she attempts a smile. "That's a smile, not an upside-down frown! Work on that, too."

In the Miraculous Ladybug episode "Ikari Gozen", Marinette is paired off with Kagami in a scavenger hunt. Kagami really wants to make friends with Marinette, and thus keeps smiling at her, but since Kagami is The Rival, has No Social Skills and has only a theoretical knowledge of what a smile is supposed to look like, her smiles just look creepy and menacing rather than warm. After Marinette figures out that Kagami is trying to be nice and makes an effort to be nicer to her, Kagami starts giving more genuine smiles.

Becky gives her some tips on flirting which includes smiling and being interested in what Barry has to say. Cue Darlene with a very over-the-top smile and craning her neck to try and get in his line of view. Roseanne sums it up thusly while she and Becky watch on:

Will Graham of Hannibal doesn't smile much, but when he does it's genuinely sweet — with the memorable exception of "Rôti" during a stroke test. His lips curve upward, but it would have been less creepy if he'd burst into tears. Or thrown up. Or started screaming.

General consensus within the DC Animated Universe is that Batman smiling, regardless of context, is creepy as hell.
It's even a plot point in one episode of Superman: The Animated Series
At least he wasn't laughing. Poor Harley, all she wanted to do was impress Mistah J....
Even Batman: The Brave and the Bold runs with this. The episode he smiles the most in is the one in which he's become a vampire planning to devour the Justice League.
Oddly enough, Bruce Wayne smiles a lot and quite convincingly. It makes you wonder if his Bruce/Batman dichotomy is just one chemical dip away from a mental breakdown...

In ReLIFE, Hishiro can smile just fine when she's genuinely happy. When she actively tries to smile though, the result looks more like a creepy, deformed smirk. It's both Played for Laughs and Played for Drama when her classmate Kariu, whom she's trying to befriend, ends up thinking that Hishiro is making fun of her because she beat her in exams. The two of them solving this conflict is the first major arc of the series.

Florence, the anthropomorphic Bowman's Wolf in Freefall, has to be careful to smile without showing teeth to avoid doing one of these. Of course, sometimes she does want to. After all, a nice, big smile makes people more civilized. They do not want things to be uncivilized.

A Calvin and Hobbes strip has Calvin's dad ordering him to smile for a photograph. He made a hideous face that was technically a smile since his mouth was upturned.
Calvin's done that a number of times for photos. One of them was a strip Bill Watterson said he laughed out loud at. Needless to say, these smiles are always fantastic.
There's also a scene at the breakfast table where Dad says that Calvin should have an earlier bedtime because he's so grumpy in the morning. Calvin tries to look happy so that Dad will change his mind. Dad is not fooled.

Discworld:
Otto Chriek tries to photograph Nobby Nobbs in The Truth:
Rincewind often does this intentionally:
In Reaper Man, Ludmilla Cake (a werewolf) is described as having "the bright, crystalline smile perfected by people who had long ago learned not to let their feelings show."
Similarly, Angua from the Ankh Morpork City Watch books is occasionally noted to be "smiling", insomuch as her teeth are bared and she's not actively speaking. As she's generally staring at the jugular vein of the recipient of the smile and is, in fact, another werewolf, the results are generally quite unnerving.

In Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's expressions normally run the gamut from happy (read: completely impassive) to furious (read: slight frown). He's only shown (in current memory) fully smiling exactly once. And when he does it is a thing of beauty to the viewers. But, given his normal disposition, his retainer, Jaken has a slowly-building panic attack over it, eventually begging Sesshomaru to "go ahead and beat me, but please stop smiling!" More often, if Sesshoumaru starts to smile, it goes from a simple smirk to a Slasher Smile, then literally ear to ear in a horrifying way as part of his transformation to demon dog.

Kamen Rider Drive's Third Rider, Chase, is The Stoic because he's a Mechanical Lifeform; in his own Direct to Video movie, his attempts to smile draw laughter and cause people to remark that he looks like a mannequin, which contributes to his desire to gain human emotions.
The show also has Drive's main partner Kiriko who's very stoic and serious most of the time and rarely smiles. At one point one of the other characters tries to motivate him by saying he's got a "Cute Beauty" looking up to him and Kiriko attempts to humor this by giving a very fake and strained-looking smile accompanied by the sound of breaking metal. Shinnosuke isn't particularly comforted by this frightening sight though which annoys her. Kiriko is however capable of smiling genuinely when she's truly very happy, that's just fairly rare.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Villainous sociopath Azula. She can smirk◊ without a problem, but sincere smiling?◊ Interestingly, she can give a real smile, after she practices a bit. She used a charming smile on a hapless partygoer later in the evening, to great effect. Then she went on a tangent about how she and the partygoer would rule the world (in typical Azula style), which ruined the whole effect and sent the poor guy running for the hills.
The second season episode "City of Walls and Secrets" brings you Joo Dee and her constant pained grimace. It starts off as merely unsettling, but as the episode goes on, it only gets worse. And then right at the end of the episode, the Gaang meets a second Joo Dee, who has the exact same smile. A later episode shows that there are multiple Joo Dees, each Brainwashed and Crazy, and each making the same creepy smile.

The Cry of Mann: Agent Martinez, who is serious and struggles with expressing emotion, gave a rather weird "smile" after Berry claimed being around her made her feel safer; her eyes grew wide and her lips apart, with teeth showing, in a very awkward, uncomfortable, "happy" expression.

Doraemon has a short where Gian had a crush on a girl, and tried smiling to win over her affections. Unfortunately, Gian's definition of a "warm smile" is closer to "Death Glare with slanted eyes".

Lucky Star: Akira's friend Akuru Nakatani is never shown smiling. She constantly looks mildly peeved, though she's not necessarily angry. When Akuru says she smiles now and then, The Un-Smile is what Akira imagines. (As for what it really looks like? Presumably nice.)

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Due to his lack of lips, Odo's smiles look... odd to say the least.
When a young and impressionable Jem'Hadar makes his way onto the station in "The Abandoned", Odo tries to teach him how to smile. The Jem'Hadar makes an even ghastlier face than Odo usually does.
After a Bar Brawl in "Behind the Lines" leads to the deaths of several Cardassians and Jem'Hadar, Dukat and Weyoun both put on smiley faces to look like they're not pissed at each other. They're not fooling anyone.
The stress of the Dominion War has a negative effect on Bashir's "boyish smile".

Bucky Barnes in Bucky Barnes Gets His Groove Back & Other International Incidents is pretty out of practice when it comes to the socializing or civilian life thing, so when he winds up in social situations where a smile is expected, his attempts are generally not received well. He never quite figures out how to smile nicely, so he mostly just avoids people entirely and sticks to a neutral expression.

In Final Fantasy VII Remake, after your party breaks from the Shinra building, Cloud on a motorcycle and everyone else on a truck, Barret says that they're home free. Red XIII tells him that he wouldn't celebrate just yet and Barret replies that he needs to lighten up, that he might even try smiling. Red gives a grimace that causes Barret to say that on second thought maybe frowning suits him better.

Not from a character known for never smiling, but a scary-as-hell fake smile nonetheless: Seth from 9 Chickweed Lane, suddenly caught discussing sex around a group of children, responds with an "Oh, Crap!" Smile that looks like it was copypasted from SMILEDOG.

Kamen Rider:
Kamen Rider Drive's Third Rider, Chase, is The Stoic because he's a Mechanical Lifeform; in his own Direct to Video movie, his attempts to smile draw laughter and cause people to remark that he looks like a mannequin, which contributes to his desire to gain human emotions.
The show also has Drive's main partner Kiriko who's very stoic and serious most of the time and rarely smiles. At one point one of the other characters tries to motivate him by saying he's got a "Cute Beauty" looking up to him and Kiriko attempts to humor this by giving a very fake and strained-looking smile accompanied by the sound of breaking metal. Shinnosuke isn't particularly comforted by this frightening sight though which annoys her. Kiriko is however capable of smiling genuinely when she's truly very happy, that's just fairly rare.
In Kamen Rider Amazons, Haruka and Takai prepare to go Undercover as Lovers at a restaurant run by Amazons. Haruka encourages Takai to smile so that she'll look more convincing as his girlfriend. The others are unnerved by the result, and Haruka hastily says it's probably better if she doesn't smile.

Raven from Teen Titans (2003) is a Perpetual Frowner. The one time she tried to force herself to smile, it was... ugly; the sounds of previously unused facial muscles stretching could clearly be heard as she struggled to pull her lips into position. However, there have been instances where she genuinely smiled and it wasn't so bad.
There's also Robin forcing a smile on his "date" with Kitten. This would be the one that made a noise like bones cracking.

Several panels show the Kryptonians forcing themselves to lift up their mouths' corners while their eyes remain haggard and tired.
In Batman/Superman: World's Finest: When Negative Man manages to filter the Kryptonite radiation out of Superman's blood, Batman's face displays an expression that could charitably be called a smile... even though it creeps the Doom Patrol out.

In The Wheel of Time:
It's often mentioned that Mazrim Taim never smiles, although he has a kind of half-smile without a shred of good humour in it.
Lord Talmanes takes being The Stoic to the extreme, and only starts to smile when he takes enough wounds from Shadow-tainted Myrddraal weapons in the Last Battle that only Heroic Willpower keeps him from dying on the spot. The sight of him grinning frightens the Myrddraal, and is generally agreed to be worse to look at than the corruption consuming his body. He gets better, too.
After Tarna Feir is forcibly Turned to the Shadow, her eyes become cold and her smile looks like something "on the lips of a corpse."

Two notable examples appear in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies:
In one of her first trials, rookie attorney Athena Cykes tries to smile in the spirit of the Wright Anything Agency's motto, "The worst of times are when lawyers have to force their biggest smiles." Her partner Apollo remarks that her attempt at smiling looked like "a weird mix of terror and creepy grin".
Aristotle Means frequently provides attempts at a toothy smile that looks more like he's grimacing, baring his teeth and gums in a way Athena finds unsettling. At the end of his Villainous Breakdown, he grins so hard his teeth shatter.

Like many elements of human culture, Harry Vanderspiegle of Resident Alien does not completely understand the concept of smiling, looking truly inhuman whenever he tries.

A Young Girl's Game of Thrones: Those who pay close attention to Myrcella often note that when she smiles, it doesn't reach her eyes, and it tends to creep them out. The one time her eyes smiled with the rest of her face, it was after Davos told her that the Mountain was executed, and he noted that.

In The 7D episode "Oh Happy Grumpy", Grumpy is cursed by a witch so he can't get angry or be turned into melted cheese. After being sung a song by Happy, Grumpy puts on a facade of happiness, sporting a grin that not only creeps out the other 7D but is so huge that it takes up the bulk of his face. Fortunately, the woman turns out to not be a real witch and the curse was a fake.

Odd Squad:
All the Scientists attending Lab-Con in "Oscar Strikes Back" make these when ordered to by President Obbs. He even remarks on how the smiles are creepy but keeps them regardless.
In "Mr. Unpredictable", as Oswald and Orla (disguised as villains attending Villain University) are meeting Tessa Twosie, Orla gives a very unnatural, almost sinister smile that nearly manages to blow her and her partner's covers. Luckily, Tessa doesn't sniff them out and instead heads off so they can begin a tour of the school.

Jupiter Ascending: Big Bad Balem Abrasax usually alternates between languid ennui and shrieking rage, but after explaining his Social Darwinist ethos to Jupiter, he tries — slowly, with visible strain — to pull his face into a smile while brushing her cheek. It doesn't help that he sees Jupiter as the reincarnation of his mother, whom he's suffering Sanity Slippage from having killed.

At one point the very grumpy Switzerland muses that he doesn't seem to have been smiling much, as of late. When he meets Liechtenstein for breakfast, he tries to give her a smile. It comes out very strained.

Final Fantasy:
In Final Fantasy VII Remake, after your party breaks from the Shinra building, Cloud on a motorcycle and everyone else on a truck, Barret says that they're home free. Red XIII tells him that he wouldn't celebrate just yet and Barret replies that he needs to lighten up, that he might even try smiling. Red gives a grimace that causes Barret to say that on second thought maybe frowning suits him better.
Believe it or not, the infamous Final Fantasy X laughing scene was actually made for the lulz. The voice actors sound like they're doing a bad job, but it's intentional.
Played straight after Operation Mi'hen. "Kimari practice smiling."

Niels: In one comic, Thomas has been forced to arrest 250 and 300 after they got into a bar fight. He knows he can't hold them because the agency they belong to will get them released, but he does take a moment to relish that this happened at all. The result is a very awkward, stilted, and creepy open-mouthed grin.

Questionable Content:
Faye does not quite grasp the concept of smiling at her customers.
Also at Dora's instigation, Penelope is a bit too eager to "show some teeth".
Hannelore has No Social Skills and runs into this when she tries to smile pleasantly, then realizes her mistake. The lesson is not learned, since the Un-Smile returns in a form that the artist shuddered to draw.
Marigold produces one when compensating for being told that it was impossible to resist the wishes of her sad face.

In Filia's ending of Skullgirls, as Carol (formerly Painwheel) is introduced to her class she gives a smile so big and desperate it's frankly disturbing. Then again, goodness knows when she last genuinely smiled at all.

In The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Lie", seasonal depression causes Mr. Small to forget how to smile, so he tries to force one with tape.

In one very early Peanuts strip, Charlie Brown is trying to take Snoopy's picture and is trying to convince him to smile. Snoopy eventually makes a really big smile, causing his owner to roll his eyes and say, "Okay, forget the smile..."
On another occasion, Charlie Brown and Linus encounter Snoopy while talking about how the world would be a better place if everyone smiled more. Snoopy gives them a similarly massive (and creepy) grin, leading them to comment that maybe people shouldn’t smile too much.

Shinra Kasukabe in Fire Force has a habit of grinning when nervous or facing danger. Said grin looks like a Slasher Smile, which made him a pariah when the habit emerged after his parents died in a fire he was blamed for, further reinforcing the behavior. The times when he genuinely smiles are very far and few between, such that he appears almost like a different person.

In How to Train Your Dragon, when Hiccup feigns a smile after eating the raw fish Toothless regurgitated for him (It Makes Sense in Context), Toothless attempts to copy him. The result is less scary than you'd think coming from a giant predator, in large part because his teeth are still retracted.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Occurs in "Lesson Zero", when Twilight Sparkle has a psychotic breakdown. She starts smiling in a manner somewhere between "Cheshire Cat Grin", "The Grinch", and "utter disconnect from reality".
Starlight Glimmer makes everypony in her town put on one of these in "The Cutie Map", while she puts on condescending fake smiles herself. It greatly unnerves all of the Mane Six, especially Pinkie Pie, who notices something's off immediately.

Doctor Who:
In "The Sound of Drums", the Master does both an exaggerated smile and exaggerated frowny face while insulting his Cabinet, right before gassing them all to death.
The Twelfth Doctor does this whenever he smiles while showing teeth, and it's creepy enough. However, in "The Lie of the Land", the Doctor is supposedly Brainwashed and Crazy, and his "smile"◊ this time is utterly creepy.
Immediately after regenerating, the Thirteenth Doctor smiles in a similar manner. It's even worse because she's capable of a reasonable approximation of a smile, but this◊ is very much not it.

One of the creepiest scenes in A Field in England is when Whitehead emerges from the tent after being tortured. He slowly walks out, tied to a rope leash, with his eyes rolled back into his head and a huge grin on his face. The other characters are visibly frightened. (For bonus points, this was a Throw It In! by Whitehead’s actor, as the original script had called for a Thousand-Yard Stare. The effect is much more unsettling with the lack of detail given in the build-up.)

The Good Hunter:
When Vermut asks Cyril about the things that he hunts, Cyril stiffens a bit, then gives a smile, before answering that he hunts beasts no matter what skin they choose to wear. To Vermut and her compatriots, there is nothing good in that smile and it makes them anxious.
In response to Ancalagon's disappointment towards Cyril for not being brutal enough while killing Father Zachariahnote he merely shoots him in the face, Cyril replies that he simply did as she asked. Ancalagon then smiles at him, an expression the narration describes as "nothing nice".
Cyril smiles when asked by the Wandering Scholar regarding the reason he created the Wild Hunt and stood against monster and man alike. The Scholar internally remarks that there is "nothing good in that expression of his".

In RoboCop: Rogue City OCP holds a press conference with Robocp on stage. The presenting executive Max Becker tells Robocop to try smiling. Robocop awkwardly pulls his lips to the sides and up to reveal just a bit of teeth. Becker immediately decides not smiling is better.

Books of the Raksura: The Always Chaotic Evil Fell Progenitor-Queen Ranea's smile is at best a "disjointed" mimicry that she puts on when she tries to act Faux Affably Evil and forgets to stop doing when she drops the affability act.

The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: At one point, Vix-Lei sees Night Blade smiling, and asks him to do another. What he gives is "an all too wide smile on his face, showing off his fangs and sharper teeth in a frightening way". Vix-Lei is amused, but asks him to stop; when he only grins even wider at her, Page has to step in (at Vix-Lei's request) and make him stop by using a spell to make her nose cold, then pokes him in the ear with it.

Kingdom Hearts:
In Kingdom Hearts, when they first meet up, Donald and Goofy tell a depressed Sora to cheer up if he wants to come with them because their ship "runs on happy face." Sora responds with this face◊, and Donald and Goofy nearly die laughing.
Sora's smile comes back in Kingdom Hearts III as the "Funny Face Special," which he gets to use on Boo in Monstropolis.

The first of the Full Metal Panic! Light Novels describes Sousuke's attempt at smiling for a student picture as making him look like he's suffering from facial neuralgia. The effort as depicted in the anime series looks similarly painful.

Happy Heroes: At one point in Season 2, Careful S. gets advice on how to be more approachable. Part of this advice is that he’s told to smile more. He tries… But ends up looking like The Joker. It then becomes a Running Gag that whenever he tries to smile on command, he looks utterly terrifying. Not even the new art style takes this away, although the effect is slightly Downplayed as he just looks really pissed off. When he does smile naturally (usually with Kalo) it’s quite adorable.
Strangely, this is sometimes shown to be natural.

In the Alex Rider book Scorpia Rising, the Big Bad Razim meets his end when the bridge he's making his last stand on gives way and he falls into a massive pile of salt beneath it. As he is pleading for Alex to throw him a rope before he is pulled underneath the salt, he attempts to smile at him, but the narrator describes it as "looking more like a hideous grimace than anything".
