The Jurassic Park theme comes from the 1993 film, with its sweeping orchestral score becoming instant shorthand for something huge, dramatic or prehistoric. Online, the phrase what are those became a go-to reaction for calling out unusual footwear, spreading through short-form videos and reaction clips. This mashup combines both ideas, so a mundane shoe reveal is treated like the arrival of a dinosaur. Its popularity endures because the contrast is instantly readable, even without context, and it fits short edits, streams and meme compilations.
About this sound
A playful 'what are those' clip mixed with the Jurassic Park theme, used by creators to react to strange shoes, outfits or unexpected reveals in funny videos.
The clip pairs a teasing, drawn-out question about someone's footwear with the familiar swell of Jurassic Park music, creating a joke that feels both silly and cinematic. A voice asks what those are in a mock-shocked tone, while the orchestral theme rises underneath, turning an ordinary outfit reveal into a dramatic dinosaur-park moment. The contrast is the punchline: a small, everyday detail suddenly gets blockbuster treatment. Viewers hear it and expect something absurd, oversized or hilariously out of place to appear next, which makes it work best as a reaction rather than a background track.
