The Richard Attenborough meme features his iconic character John Hammond from the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park. As the visionary behind the prehistoric theme park, Hammond is known for his signature white suit, amber-topped cane, and the catchphrase 'spared no expense.' The meme typically captures Hammond’s blend of boundless optimism and his eventually shattered ego. It is widely used to mock situations where someone invests heavily in something that ultimately fails, or ironically when someone does the bare minimum while claiming they went all out. Since the film's release, Attenborough's performance has become a cornerstone of internet culture, representing both grandfatherly warmth and the hubris of grand ambitions.
