Spared no expense is a line spoken by John Hammond, the wealthy founder of Jurassic Park, in Steven Spielberg's 1993 film Jurassic Park. Hammond repeats the boast while showing visitors his dinosaur theme park, presenting it as proof of the park's quality and ambition. Online, the short quote spread as a reaction clip and meme sound, especially for videos mocking extravagant spending, overbuilt projects, or plans that look impressive before they fall apart. Its lasting appeal comes from that dramatic irony: the audience already knows the park will not go as planned.
