About
See? Nobody Cares is a catchphrase derived from pieces of dialogue uttered by character Dennis Nedry (played by Wayne Knight) in a scene from the 1993 science-fiction movie Jurassic Park. On internet, it has become widely used in image macros featuring screenshots from the scene in order to express lack of interest for a token popular trend or as a retort when someone is considered to be trying to get unwarranted attention.
Origin
The peculiar segment from the movie was uploaded to Youtube on July 11th 2009 (shown below). It involves Dennis Nedry (played by Wayne Knight) meeting with Lew Dodgson (played by Cameron Thor) at a terrace of a restaurant and calling him out on his attempt to wear a disguise to appear incognito.
Dennis Nedry: [waving] “Dodgson!”
Lew Dodgson: [sitting down] “You shouldn’t use my name.”
Dennis Nedry: [loudly] “Dodgson, Dodgson, we’ve got Dodgson here! Nobody cares. Nice hat. What are you trying to look like, a secret agent?”
(bold added for emphasis)
The scene became a macro on Memegenerator on November 25th 2012[1]. From it, the question See? was added to emphasize on the lack of interest expressed in the macro. as of December 2014, the macro ranked #565 on the site and contributed to more than 35 pages of parodies, for over 50 000 pictures made.
