Line #118 Funny/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory


1	->A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.
2	-->--'''Willy Wonka''', [[Film/WillyWonkaANdTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory]]
3
4	[[AC:Movie]]
5	* The fact that the entire planet... all these adults, especially... is losing their minds over a contest involving chocolate.
6	** This exchange when the grandparents are watching a news report on "Wonka-mania";
7	-->'''Grandma Josephine:''' They're all crazy.
8	-->'''Grandpa Joe:''' Shh! The man's a genius. He'll sell a million bars!
9	* Everything involving Mr. Salt. Seriously, just watch Creator/RoyKinnear's facial reactions to anything.
10	-->"I can't take much more of this!"
11	* Especially hilarious are Mr. Salt's interactions with Willy Wonka. He looks like he's earnestly trying to follow everything Wonka is saying, as if somehow all this is going to make sense eventually.
12	* Mr. Beauregarde's awkward reaction to Mr. Salt's business: "Nuts."
13	** A bit of SeparatedByACommonLanguage here. To a Brit, it's a perfectly straightforward answer, but to an American, it means "Get stuffed."[[note]]Or, to put it another way, "Nuts to you".[[/note]]
14	--->'''Mr. Beauregarde:''' What business you in, Salt?\
15	'''Mr. Salt:''' Nuts.\
16	'''Mr. Beauregarde:''' ''(looks away awkwardly)''
17	* A team of programmers at Siemens create [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMZ2j9yK_NY a Golden-Ticket-locating supercomputer]]. How well does it go?
18	-->'''Programmer:''' Gentlemen, I know how anxious you've all been during these last few days. But now I think I can safely say that your time and money have been well-spent. We're about to witness the greatest miracle of the machine age. Based on the revolutionary Computonian Law of Probability, this machine will tell us the precise location of the three remaining Golden Tickets.\
19	''[He pushes buttons on the machine, which prints out a response]''\
20	'''Programmer:''' It says, "[[SecondLawMyAss I won't tell. That would be cheating.]]"\
21	''[He pushes more buttons on the machine again]''\
22	'''Programmer:''' I am now telling the computer that if it will tell me the correct answer, I will gladly share with it the grand prize.\
23	''[The machine prints out another response]''\
24	'''Programmer:''' He says: "[[SnarkyInanimateObject What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?]]"\
25	''[Getting increasingly agitated, he begins [[ButtonMashing mashing the buttons]]]''\
26	'''Programmer:''' I am now telling the computer [[AssShove EXACTLY what he can do with a lifetime supply of chocolate!]]
27	* During the initial Wonka-Mania montage, there's a shot of a Wonka truck delivering chocolate bars to the White House. The president in 1971 was UsefulNotes/RichardNixon. Just the idea of Nixon trying to find a Golden Ticket is funny in its own right.
28	** At the end of Wonkamania, ''[[UsefulNotes/ElizabethII the Queen]]'' bids on the United Kingdom's last case of Wonka Bars at an auction.
29	--->'''Auctioneer:''' (''astonished'') Your Majesty!
30	*** This one becomes a BrickJoke when, as Wonka is checking his mail at the end of the tour, he mentions that he received a letter from her and should reply as soon as possible.
31	* The reporter after the fourth Golden Ticket is found.
32	-->"Four down, and one to go. And somewhere out there, another lucky person is moving closer and closer to finding the last of the most sought after prizes in history. Though we cannot help but envy him, whoever he is, and we might be tempted to be bitter in our losing, we must remember there are many more important things, many more important things. ''(beat)'' [[KentBrockmanNews Offhand I can't think of what they are, but I'm sure there must be something.]] And now for tomorrow's weather and-"
33	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94rVve5f9Tg A rich woman's husband is kidnapped]], and the kidnappers are demanding a case of Wonka bars for ransom.
34	-->'''Mrs. Curtis:''' What do they want? Whatever it is, they can have it!\
35	'''Detective:''' They want your case of Wonka bars.\
36	'''Mrs. Curtis:''' ''[doesn't answer]''\
37	'''Detective:''' Mrs. Curtis, do you hear me? It's your husband's life or a case of Wonka Bars!\
38	'''Mrs. Curtis:''' How long will they give me to [[ImThinkingItOver think it over]]?
39	** Anybody else wonder what happened to the poor guy?
40	** What makes it great is that up until the last line in the scene, it plays like a dead-serious police procedural movie and the woman is desperate to have her husband home.
41	* The South American man who claims to have the last Golden Ticket is Nazi German official Martin Bormann living under a false name. He's come out of hiding in [[ArgentinaIsNaziland Paraguay]] just to get a tour of the chocolate factory.
42	* Any of the literary references or {{deadpan snark\|er}}ing:
43	-->'''Mrs. Gloop:''' ''Don't just stand there! Do something!''\
44	'''Wonka:''' ''(monotone)'' Help. Police. Murder.
45	** Plus the look on Grandpa Joe's face when Wonka said that.
46	* [[ComicallyMissingThePoint "My chocolate!]] [[SkewedPriorities My beautiful chocolate!"]]
47	** Mike yelling "Man overboard!" when Augustus falls in.
48	** After that; Wonka assures Mrs. Teevee (while boarding the boat) that he takes good care of his guests, to which Mr. Beauregarde snarks...
49	--->'''Mr. Beauregarde:''' Yeah, you took ''real'' good care of that August kid over there. That's for sure.
50	* Wonka, when Mike messes with the transporter: [[DullSurprise Stop. Don't. Come back.]]
51	* A psychiatrist tells his patient that the sooner he accepts it’s irrational to believe his dreams are real, the sooner he'll get well. The patient tells the psychiatrist he dreamed of the archangel telling him where to find a Golden Ticket.
52	-->'''Psychiatrist:''' And what exactly did he say?\
53	'''Mr. Hofstetter:''' What difference does that make? This was a dream! A fantasy! I mean, you said just now--\
54	'''Psychiatrist:''' SHUT UP, HOFSTETTER, AND TELL ME WHERE THE TICKET IS!
55	* You gotta love Wonka's funny literary quotes. The best part is, they were just added for the fun of it. Examples:
56	-->"Where is fancy bred... In the heart or in the head?"\
57	"We are the music-makers... And we are the dreamers of the dreams." \
58	"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker!"
59	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qnEBe33ag0 Mr. Gloop]] is asked by a reporter if he has anything to say about his son finding a golden ticket, and [[ExtremeOmnivore he reflexively eats the end of the microphone]] thinking he was being offered food.
60	* After Veruca falls down the shaft.
61	-->'''Willy Wonka:''' [[CaptainObvious She was a bad egg.]]
62	** Yes, Willy Wonka reacts to her possible death with [[BondOneLiner a joke.]]
63	** Also what happens after that. When the seemingly calm Mr. Salt asked what happened to Veruca, Wonka told him she went down the garbage chute, which gave him a chuckle. When he asked where it leads to, Wonka answered "the furnace" which cracks up Mr. Salt, while pointing out the likelihood of her being burned alive. But when Wonka states that she could just be stuck on the way down, Mr. Salt [[MyGodYouAreSerious finally realizes Wonka is completely serious]] and jumps in to "save" her.
64	** And then Grandpa Joe nails it with his observation.
65	--->'''Grandpa Joe:''' Oh well, Mr. Salt finally got what he wanted.\
66	'''Charlie:''' What's that?\
67	'''Grandpa Joe:''' [[BondOneLiner Veruca went first.]]
68	* When Wonka leads everyone to the Chocolate room.
69	-->'''Wonka:''' You can't get out backwards. You gotta go forwards to go back. Better press on.\
70	'''Charlie:''' Hey, the room is getting smaller!\
71	'''Mrs. Teevee:''' No it's not, he's getting bigger!\
72	'''Mr. Salt:''' [[OhNoNotAgain He's at it again]]!\
73	'''Mike:''' Where's the chocolate?\
74	'''Mr. Beauregarde:''' I doubt if there is any.\
75	'''Mr. Salt:''' I doubt if any of us will get out of here alive.
76	* "I've just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the test we take each Friday on what we've learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we've learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest."
77	** Pretty much everything the teacher says, really. ''Ahem'':
78	--->'''Mr. Turkentine:''' Well, I can't figure out just two! So let's pretend you opened 200. Now, if you opened 200 Wonka bars, apart from being dreadfully sick, you would have used up 20% of 1,000, which is 15% half over again, 10%...
79	** "Of course you don't know. You don't know because only I know. If you knew and I didn't know then you would be teaching me instead of me teaching you. And for a student to teach his teacher is presumptuous and rude. Do I make myself clear?"
80	** "Class dismissed!" "Class ''un''-dismissed." "Class '''re'''-dismissed!"
81	* [[Theatre/TheImportanceOfBeingEarnest "The suspense is terrible! (beat) I hope it will last."]]
82	** The look on Wonka's face when he says that helps, clearly showing he's enjoying the scene.
83	* Very debatable, this exchange with Veruca and Charlie may qualify.
84	-->'''Veruca:''' He's absolutely bonkers.\
85	'''Charlie:''' And that's not bad.
86	* Right after the previous exchange between Veruca and Charlie, Charlie turns to see Mike eating something with a look that says "Idiot". Of course, no more than ten-fifteen seconds later... BOOM
87	-->'''Wonka:''' [[DeadpanSnarker I told you not to, silly boy.]]\
88	'''Mrs. Teevee:''' Your teeth!\
89	'''Mike:''' (''dazed, blows smoke out of his mouth'') Boy, that's great stuff.\
90	'''Wonka:''' That's exploding candy for your enemies. Great idea. Not ready yet, though. Still too weak. Needs more gel-ignite.
91	** Keep in mind Mike was thrown on his butt when the candy went off.
92	*** And he's totally chill with the whole deal.
93	* Violet telling Veruca to shut up.
94	-->'''Veruca:''' Hey, daddy, I want an Oompa-Loompa. I want an Oompa-Loompa right away!\
95	'''Mr. Salt:''' Alright, sweetheart. We'll buy one as soon as we get home, okay?\
96	'''Veruca:''' I want an Oompa-Loompa ''now!''\
97	'''Violet:''' [[BigShutUp CAN IT, YOU NIT!]]\
98	'''Veruca:''' ''(silent, then grumpily takes another bite out of her candy)''
99	** Also, the way Violet rolls her eyes while Veruca is demanding an Oompa-Loompa, as if thinking "Oh ''God'', does this girl ''ever'' shut up?"
100	** This exchange between Charlie and Grandpa Joe:
101	--->'''Charlie:''' (''about Violet'') Why doesn't she listen to Mr. Wonka, Grandpa?\
102	'''Grandpa Joe:''' Because, Charlie, she's a nitwit.
103	** In the audio commentary, Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee) goes to some effort to draw attention to this {{Brick Joke}} that no one ever seems to notice (Violet calls Veruca a nit and a twit before Joe calls her a nitwit), only to completely miss the punchline because people were talking about Denise's (Violet's) blueberry costume, instead.
104	* Everything in Wonka's office is cut in half, [[CloudCuckooLander for some]] [[RuleOfFunny reason]].
105	* Grandpa Joe's thoughts on Veruca during the arrival of the boat.
106	-->'''Wonka:''' All aboard, everybody!\
107	'''Mr. Salt:''' Uh, ladies first and that means Veruca!\
108	'''Grandpa Joe:''' [[AndImTheQueenOfSheba If she's a lady, then I'm a Vermicious Knid!]]
109	* "Hang on, where are we going?" "I don't know, but I don't like the look of that tunnel up there! Hey Wonka, I want off!"
110	** "'ROUND the world and home again! THAT'S the sailor's way!"
111	* Veruca's reaction to the boat ride.
112	-->'''Veruca:''' Daddy, I do ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness not]]'' [[EveryoneHasStandards want a boat like this]]!
113	** Violet's "What is this, a freakout?!"
114	** Even the horrific chicken beheading image gets a bit of humor:
115	--->'''Mrs. Teevee:''' Ugh... I think I'm gonna be sick...\
116	(''the chicken gets beheaded with a crashing gong sound effect'')\
117	'''Mrs. Teevee: *B'wwwaaaa!''' ...Now ''I am'' gonna be sick!
118	** Charlie and Grandpa Joe even enjoy it at first.
119	--->'''Charlie:''' This is kinda strange.\
120	'''Grandpa Joe:''' Yeah, strange, Charlie, but it's fun!
121	** When getting off the boat, Mike and his mom have this exchange:
122	--->'''Mike Teevee:''' Now, why don't they ever show stuff like that on TV?\
123	'''Ms. Teevee:''' Ugh... I dunno...
124	** During the ride, Mike states it would made a great TV series.
125	** When Wonka is singing the song on the boat, Mr. Salt weakly joins in with "Rowing..."
126	** Immediately afterwards, Mr. Beauregarde pushes past his daughter and the Salts to be the first one off the boat, then Violet does the same.
127	* The whole Inventing Room scene prior to the Gobstoppers scene can be considered a HurricaneOfPuns.
128	** Wonka tosses a cleated sneaker in a vat of unidentified stuff, saying that it "gives it a little kick!".
129	* When Wonka hands out Gobstoppers to everyone and Veruca lies and yells about Violet having two; Wonka makes a facial expression with a side-glance that can be best described as, "Huhhh boy... ''this'' kid...".
130	* While everyone is cramped in the small space just outside the Chocolate Room. ''Poor'' Augustus says this...
131	-->"Let me in! I'm starving!"
132	* Wonka plans to use his taffy machine on Mike:
133	-->'''Mrs. Teevee:''' Uh, T-T-Taffy? ''(Oompa-Loompa whispers to Wonka)'' Wh-What's he saying? \
134	'''Willy Wonka:''' ''(to the Oompa-Loompa)'' No, no. I won't hold you responsible.\
135	''(Mrs. Teevee suddenly passes out)''
136	** Mike Teevee's rant while inside the purse. It's very hard to make out but apparently someone listened very carefully and wrote a transcript on IMDB....
137	--> '''Mike:''' "Hey, let me out, it's dark in here. Come on, Mom, I want to be on TV. Let me out, Mom, or I'll gnaw my way out. I'm warning you, Mom, there's a nail file in here. If you don't let me out, I'll smear your lipstick all over everything!..."
138	** After Mike was put inside her mom's purse, Wonka grabs it and assures to Mrs. Teevee that he'll help Mike (by using his taffy machine), while making her anxious as he swings the purse a little.
139	* When Mike Teevee first wins, "Slugworth" is among the news crew. The way he points the microphone must be seen to be believed. Also, the expressions on Mike's face when "Slugworth" whispers his offer in his ear at the end of the scene.
140	* When Violet first wins the ticket, she talks to the camera and basically tells her story like she's presenting a TV show or commercial.
141	* In this version, Violet's father is a used-car salesman, and uses every opportunity to plug his lot. Both times Violet has to tell him to pipe down.
142	** Also:
143	--->'''Mr. Beauregarde (bemoaning Violet's new form):''' ...[[ARareSentence I got a blueberry for a daughter]].
144	* About the Wonkamobile:
145	-->'''Charlie:''' Is it fast?\
146	'''Grandpa Joe:''' It should be, she's got more gas in her than a politician!
147	* The scene where the entire group is trapped within the tiny black and white room, specifically
148	-->'''Veruca:''' ''(her tomato red face squished between the wall and Mr. Beauregarde's torso)'' Let me out or I'll SCREAM!
149	** The interaction between Mrs. Teevee and Grandpa Joe when the former complains about the latter's hand on her shoulder. Joe whips his hand away immediately after she says "Somebody's touching me!" and makes an apologetic expression. Mrs. Teevee then shoots him a DeathGlare.
150	** Amidst the panic, Wonka simply stands in the mob and muses aloud, "[[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet Is it my soul that calls upon my name?]]"
151	** '''Mrs. Gloop:''' ...[[DramaQueen Help Mr. Wonka, Help! I'm getting squashed! Save me!]]
152	** During the whole scene, Wonka bangs on the walls trying to find the "other" door. He continues banging until he "finds" it, the same door they came in.
153	--->'''Mr. Beauregarde:''' Now, don't be a darned fool, Wonka! That's the way we came in!\
154	'''Wonka:''' ''(confused)'' It is? Are you sure?\
155	'''Mr. Salt:''' We've just come ''through'' there!\
156	'''Wonka:''' ''(casually leans on the door)'' Well how do you like that--?\
157	''(The door swings open, revealing a whole other room. The guests groan and complain.)''\
158	'''Mr. Salt:''' What is this, Wonka? Some kind of fun house?!\
159	'''Wonka:''' ...Why? [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Having fun?]]
160	* When everyone first notices Augustus drinking from the river:
161	-->'''Charlie:''' Grandpa, look at Augustus!\
162	'''Grandpa Joe:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Don't worry. He can't drink it all.]]
163	** Looks like he might try, cause he appears to be drinking a bit faster as everyone crowds near him.
164	* During Veruca's song, Wonka just stands there, not reacting when she throws some wrapping around him, then {{face palm}}s and shakes his head as she continues on her tirade, clearing thinking "maybe this contest wasn't such a good idea."
165	** And then she falls through the shaft.
166	** Veruca composing herself in her song after excitedly yelling, "...and I DON'T want to share them!", which is pointed out in the DVD commentary.
167	* In a RunningGag all the kids including Charlie give in to temptation and each one except Charlie pay the penalty. Augustus Gloop gets sucked to the fudge room, Violet's pigment changes to the color of the same name and is the size of a beach ball, Verruca Salt goes down the garbage chute and Mike shrinks to the size of a mouse. Plus the Oompa-Loompas sing about each kid's self-inflicted injuries.
168	* Grandpa Joe despite being bedridden for two decades, somehow manages to walk and run about like he was 50 years younger.
169	* Despite being a minor character Violet's father arguably says one of the funniest lines in both the film and cinema history.
170	-->"Violet, you're turning violet, Violet!".
171	** Also this little dialogue as Violet's face started turning color:
172	--->'''Mr. Beauregarde:''' What happened to your face?\
173	'''Violet:''' Cool it, dad! Let me finish!
174	* While Mike Teevee is taking his turn to sign the contract:
175	-->'''Mike:''' Saw this in a movie once. Guy signs his wife's insurance policy. [[InsuranceFraud Then he bumped her off.]]\
176	'''Wonka:''' [[BlackComedy Clever]]...
177	** A rather subtle blink-and-you'll-miss-it detail during the above scene: if you look closely at Mike's signature, he writes his last name as "T.V." rather than spelling it out in full.
178	* Wonka meeting the four brats. He starts out being pleasant to Veruca but by the time he gets to Mike he can barely hide his distaste. His patience lasted all of ten seconds and he spends the rest of the movie snarking at them.
179	** What's hilarious is that the last to meet Wonka are Charlie and Grandpa... the ''nice'' ones... and THEY'RE the ones who get hastily and rudely shuffled off. In fact, sarcastic or not, his reactions to the first four jerk families is rather pleasant.
180	*** The Salts walk up; Wonka compliments Veruca on her "lovely mink coat" to which she replies "I have three others at home!"
181	*** The Gloops walk up; After Augustus gives his name ('Ah-GOOS-tass Glooooop!'), Wonka makes a crack about his weight, "Good to see you... and in such fine shape".
182	*** The Beauregardes walk up; Violet asks Wonka "What kind of gum ya got here?" while her dad pitches his car lot.
183	*** The Teevees walk up; Mike practically gives Wonka a GroinAttack with his toy gun. Wonka shakes Mike's hand and tells Ms. Teevee that her kid's adorable.
184	*** The Bucketts walk up and, after a brief acknowledgement, Wonka just hastily shuffles them off.
185	* While people are trying to interview Mike Teevee, he just wants to watch TV.
186	-->"Can't you shut up? I'm busy!"
187	** Also; This gem....
188	--->'''Reporter:''' You like the killings, don'tcha?\
189	'''Mike:''' Wattaya think life's all about?
190	* This exchange after Willy Wonka gives Mrs. Teevee rainbow drops:
191	-->'''Wonka:''' Suck them and you can spit in seven different colors.\
192	'''Violet:''' ''(picking her nose)'' [[HypocriticalHumor Spitting's a dirty habit.]]\
193	'''Wonka:''' [[LampshadeHanging I know a worse one.]]
194	** Fun fact: Denise Nickerson was extremely reluctant to do that scene, as she didn't find it ladylike and she was trying to impress Peter Ostrum.
195	** At the start of the boat ride, Veruca says she wants a boat just like this. Grandpa Joe leans to Charlie and whispers "What she wants is a good kick in the pants."
196	* Mike sees the television cameras outside of the factory and gives a shout out to his hometown. He then says hi to [[AerithAndBob Billy, Maggie and Fishface]].
197	* Relating to the gum machine, a very bizarre contraption in and of itself.
198	-->'''Wonka:''' I have something rather special to show you.\
199	'''Mr. Salt:''' Well, it's special, alright. I only hope my Veruca doesn't want one.
200	** Once it's working, Mr. Salt watches a scoop that's dumping sugar into a cone. He leans forward to get a look inside... right before another scoopful gets ready to drop right on his head.
201	** Violet sticking her finger into a section that's mashing tomatoes.
202	** Grandpa Joe's expression at the honeybees.
203	* While Wonka is singing "Pure Imagination", he picks up a candy flower, sips from it, and then takes a bite, looking unperturbed. Gene Wilder revealed that it was one of the props that weren't candy, so he was chewing wax. He had to wait until the direct said "cut" before he could spit it out.
204	* Veruca and Violet elbowing and clawing at each other during "Pure Imagination." This was something that the actresses themselves added to the scene.
205	** Even funnier, Willy Wonka whips his cane on a rail on front of both of them causing them to stop and him giving them a look that says "That's enough out of you two."
206	** At one point, Gene Wilder did get fed up with Julie and Denise doing that.
207	** Also, Mr. Salt gets annoyed every time Wonka stops the kids and their parents as they descend down.
208	* Mike Teevee's interview. He laments that his Colt .45 isn't real and asks his dad when he's gonna get a real one. His dad's response?
209	-->"Not 'til you're twelve, son!"
210	** Incidentally, that one line... took some forty takes to film.
211	* One of [[DeadpanSnarker Mrs. Salt's]] few lines in the film.
212	-->'''Mrs. Henrietta Salt:''' (''knowingly'') You're going to be very unpopular around here, Henry, if you don't deliver soon.
213	* The way Violet flaps her hands when the Oompa-Loompas begin moving her, as if to say "Get away, you little orange freaks!"
214	* Grandpa Joe getting his hat taken right off his head by the hat-hangers, his facial expression after also sells it.
215	* The Brat kids in general (with exception of [[TheQuietOne Augustus]]) are generally hilarious and hilariously acted.
216	* Of the adult stars, Creator/GeneWilder and Creator/RoyKinnear had such tremendous comedic chemistry that they would attempt to play off of each other as much as possible. One of their adlibbed lines involves Kinnear asking if he's sure the Wonkatania will float, to which Wilder gently pats Kinnear's chubby stomach with his cane and says, "With your buoyancy sir, rest assured". This becomes a BrickJoke when Mr. Salt dives down the garbage after Veruca falls inside. He breaks the Eggdicator upon doing so, and Wonka comments "There's gonna be a lot of garbage today."
217	* While the scene made be a little intense for the younger audience, other people may find this scene funny and one of the quotes meme worthy.
218	-->'''Grandpa Joe:''' Mr. Wonka?
219	-->'''Wonka:''' I am extraordinarily busy, sir.
220	-->'''Grandpa Joe:''' I just wanted to ask about the chocolate. Uh, the lifetime supply of chocolate for Charlie. When does he get it?
221	-->'''Wonka:''' He doesn't.
222	-->'''Grandpa Joe:''' Why not?
223	-->'''Wonka:''' Because he broke the rules.
224	-->'''Grandpa Joe:''' What rules? We didn't see any rules. Did we, Charlie?
225	-->'''Wonka:''' ''Wrong'', sir! ''Wrong!'' Under section 37B of the contract signed by him, it states quite clearly that all offers shall become null and void if - and you can read it for yourself in this photostatic copy - "I, the undersigned, shall forfeit all rights, privileges, and licenses herein and herein contained," et cetera, et cetera... "Fax mentis incendium gloria cultum," et cetera, et cetera... "Memo bis punitor delicatum"! It's all there, black and white, clear as crystal! You stole fizzy lifting drinks! You bumped into the ceiling which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get ''NOTHING!'' You LOSE! Good day, sir!
226	-->'''Grandpa Joe''' ''(clearly shocked)''''':''' ...You're a crook... you're a cheat and a swindler! That's what you are! How could you do a thing like this?! Build up a little boy's hopes and then smash all his dreams to pieces?! You're an inhuman monster!
227	-->'''Wonka:''' I SAID GOOD DAY!
228
229	[[AC:Meta]]
230	* Apparently, Julie Dawn Cole & Denise Nickerson (the actresses who played Veruca and Violet) both had ''massive'' crushes on Peter Ostrum (the actor who played Charlie) and as expected, were somewhat antagonistic towards each other competing over him and Mel Stuart (the director) loved it [[ThrowItIn and used it in the movie]].
231	** When Julie and Denise reminisce about how the runner-up got the assistant director's son, who played Peter Goff, Paris sarcastically adds "he's dreamy!"
232	* Julie Dawn Cole stated the reason her arms are clamped to the side when she goes down the chute, besides the obvious safety ones, was that a very handsome 16-year-old assistant was assigned to catch her below, and Julie was protecting her dignity as much as she could since she was in a dress.
233	* Paris Themmen (Mike Teevee) was the youngest and most immature of the child actors, much to the annoyance of nearly everyone during filming. At one point, Gene Wilder was asked in an interview how he was getting along with the children, to which he replied "Oh, four of them are great, and one of them [Paris] I'm going to shoot in the head tomorrow."
234	** In the DVD commentary track, an adult Themmen cheerfully comments that what you see on the screen was pretty much how he acted in real life.
235	* When Wilder was cast as Willy Wonka this was his one condition to the role:
236	-->'''Gene Wilder:''' When I make my first entrance, I'd like to come out of the door carrying a cane and then walk toward the crowd with a limp. After the crowd sees Willy Wonka is a cripple, they all whisper to themselves and then become deathly quiet. As I walk toward them, my cane sinks into one of the cobblestones I'm walking on and stands straight up, by itself; but I keep on walking, until I realize that I no longer have my cane. I start to fall forward, and just before I hit the ground, I do a beautiful forward somersault and bounce back up, to great applause.
237	* The story of how the ending was written, as told in the DVD documentary. Director Mel Stuart hated the last line Dahl wrote (Grandpa Joe saying "Yippee!"), so he halted production until he could get in touch with their other writer David Seltzer, who was on vacation fishing at a remote cabin in the woods in Maine. Stuart managed to get him on a pay phone and demanded he write a new closing line; when Seltzer asked him when he wanted it, he shamelessly insisted, "Now! [[{{Irony}} I want it now]]! [[LifeImitatesArt Like in the song 'I Want It Now'?]] I want it now!" (The line Seltzer [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants gave him on the spot over the phone]] ''is'' the one we see in the film!)
238	* A DeletedScene, which was filmed but not included, featured a mountain climber visiting a Himalayan guru and asking what the meaning of life is. The guru requests a Wonka Bar, opens it, and upon seeing it has no ticket, he says "The meaning of life is disappointment."
239	* In the beginning of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4sY_2gdr5I theatrical trailer]], the narrator says: "Four of the tickets are found by these charming children," and then we get scenes of the four children at their worst.
240	* One of the prop men sawed what he thought was a prop coffeepot for Wonka's office. It turned out to be real, and he realized his mistake when coffee started spilling everywhere.

243	* The tunnel scene was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_qMX3SmXB4 mashed up]] with the [[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVIIBlue Rimmer Munchkin song]] from ''Series/RedDwarf'', thus transforming a scene known for its NightmareFuel into pure hilarity.
