            I believe it is from a movie because I remembered it as well, now I can't think of it and it's driving me crazy!

              "The Simpsons" Trilogy of Error (2001)
              Lisa: "Oh. This is why I can't have nice things."

              but I'm sure it was around before that.

                Expanding on the script a bit:

                "Homer: Here, little fella'.
                [Homer pours beer into Linguo's mouth]
                Lisa: Dad. No.
                Linguo: Error.
                Homer: I'm sorry. I thought he was a party robot.
                Lisa: Oh. This is why I can't have nice things. Grrr... every time I design a robot, somebody comes along and breaks it."
                -D.

                      I know that line is in the movie Mafia!, but I doubt that is where it originated. Pretty funny comedy movie.

                        First time I heard it was in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie in 1996. Though I am pretty sure they used it in some of their earlier episodes as well.

                          I think its Eddie Murphy from Delirious. When he was doing his drunk dad and talking about the dog shitting everywhere and them not picking it up and he said this is why we can not have nice things.

                          That is what I think of anyway...
