Samuel L. Jackson as Ray Arnold in Jurassic Park angrily says he hates this hacker crap. Creators use the line for computer fails, tech frustration and memes.

This is Samuel L. Jackson delivering one of Jurassic Park's most quotable outbursts as chief engineer Ray Arnold, his voice rising in exasperation as he wrestles with the park's failing computer system. The line is delivered fast, loud and fed up, with Jackson's unmistakable mix of authority and comic frustration. Hearing it instantly brings back the control room chaos, the locked doors and the dinosaurs loose outside, while the blunt wording makes it feel cathartic rather than technical. It works as a punchline because it sounds like a real person losing patience with technology, and that relatable anger is what makes viewers laugh and repeat it.

The line comes from Jurassic Park, Steven Spielberg's 1993 film based on Michael Crichton's novel, where Samuel L. Jackson plays chief engineer Ray Arnold. In the film Arnold is trying to regain control of the park's systems after Dennis Nedry sabotages them, and his frustrated outburst captures the moment the technology stops cooperating. The quote circulated for years as a favourite movie line before becoming a short shareable sound online, where it is now used far beyond the film itself. Its lasting appeal is its direct, funny expression of annoyance with computers.
