That moment you decide to read the news for once

That moment you decide to read the news for once:

This meme uses the iconic first dinosaur reveal scene from the 1993 film Jurassic Park to joke about the experience of casually deciding to check the news. It follows the progression of the characters' reactions: first, Ellie Sattler sits casually in a jeep wearing sunglasses, then she removes her sunglasses in surprise, then both Ellie and Alan Grant are shown with wide-eyed, open-mouthed shocked expressions, and finally the reveal of the 'news' they are reacting to is a small clip of Sam Neill, the real actor who plays Alan Grant, smiling in a news interview, placed over the shot of the Brachiosaurus from the original film. The joke plays on the common experience of being shocked or caught off guard by unexpected, absurd, or surreal content when reading the news, plus a layer of meta humor from referencing the cast of the source film as the punchline.

This meme was shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit as stated in the provided source information. It is an edited remix of footage from the 1993 Jurassic Park film, created using the Mematic mobile meme editor, as evidenced by the 'made with mematic' watermark present on all panels. The format leverages the widely recognizable shocked reaction scene from Jurassic Park, a common template for memes about being surprised by unexpected content, with a meta punchline referencing the actor of one of the film's main characters as the news content.
