What does it mean when you say "I've been John Hammond"?

I know who he is, from Jurassic Park, but I heard a British speaker say this the other day. Is it a British colloquialism?

A guess would be, with the intention of doing good, being spectacularly wrong and with poor or even tragic results.

Or, out-smarted by a stupid person (animal).

I've not heard it used but this makes sense to me.

Ok here is the reference. This is a 'youtuber' and he is doing a live stream from gamescon. His wife took over the stream for a quick break and when he comes back she had nerfed his tank. so when he discovers what has happened, he says, "I've been John Hammond"

Sorry it took me awhile to track it down where I had seen it.
