* Violet Beauregarde decides she's had enough of Veruca's crap and snaps at her when the latter is whining that she wants an Oompa-Loompa NOW. This is the first time anyone tells Veruca off to her face, and what's more, it leaves her ''in stunned silence!'' Violet then tells off Veruca ''again'' when she [[BlatantLies lies about Violet getting two everlasting gobstoppers]] and demands another one as well. Of course, even better than those two times, the two insults Violet throws at Veruca which include "nit" and "twit" actually set up an awesome BrickJoke for the moment Violet samples the chewing gum which, as we all know, turns her into a blueberry. When Charlie asks why she won't follow Wonka's orders, Grandpa Joe's response? "Because, Charlie, she's a ''nitwit!''" So not only did Veruca get owned, [[LaserGuidedKarma Violet herself just got owned as well]]!

No meta moment, see this query.


* A bit of a meta-example: in the '''[[MemeticMutation "YOU GET NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GOOD DAY, SIR!"]]''' scene, the look of shock on Charlie's face is [[EnforcedMethodActing completely genuine. Gene Wilder never told anyone just how furious he was going to act in that scene.]] Damn, that's good acting! After spending the majority of his screentime as Wonka being a snarky, witty candyman, his sudden tirade at this moment is surprisingly lifelike and definitely Oscar-winning material. Now THAT'S what you call acting as well!



--> '''Grandpa Joe''': You did it, Mr. Wonka! Congratulations!
* Wonka's entrance is awesome on two levels, meta-wise:
** It has come out that Creator/GeneWilder stipulated that he'd only do the film if he could do the limp/somersault as he felt it would set up that you can never trust Wonka (it worked so well that he even fooled some of the other actors, who weren't told beforehand that he'd be doing that). The director wisely agreed and the scene is now not only an iconic classic but also wonderful character set-up.
** Watch Wilder as he does the somersault... he waits until the absolute last moment before going into the roll, selling that he is about to fall flat on his face. If he messed it up Wilder would have done just that... the man was seriously dedicated and seriously talented.
