10 Things You Didn't Know About Jurassic Park

1. Jurassic Park Gave Birth To A Meme

Universal Pictures

You can't force the creation of an internet meme; they're just the result of something humorous found in popular culture that explodes into a viral phenomenon either through repeated citation or mass exposure.

Jurassic Park is part of this culture, giving birth to a meme that pokes fun at Phil Tippett - credited at the end of the film as the film's Dinosaur Supervisor. Jokes focused around the credit began to circulate, and eventually the image above came to be. The humorous meme pokes fun at the job title, blaming Tippett for not properly supervising the giant reptiles that subsequently run rampant throughout the titular park and eat half the humans present there. You did have one job Mr. Tippett, and many should thank you for not doing your supposed job properly, because Jurassic Park wouldn't have been as entertaining if you had!
