Added DiffLines:

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Despite being Willy Wonka's many arch enemy who bribes the golden ticket finders with money and a better life in exchange for stealing an Everlasting Gobstopper from Wonka, Slugworth is not the most hated character in the film nor the four bratty kids who are supposed to be hated for being spoiled the most hated. None are more hated by people than Grandpa Joe who's seen as as a lazy leech that said he'd help Charlie support the family if he could get out of bed, but the only time we actually see him trying is so he can go to the chocolate factory, where he sings ''[[ItsAllAboutMe I've]]'' Got a Golden Ticket about his grandson's find. Him taking the fizzy lifting drinks and willingness to sell out to Slugworth after Wonka's rant are also sometimes held against him (although the last one he was angry at Wonka for crushing Charlie, but understood why Charlie couldn't do it). ''WebVideo/RedLetterMedia'' points out that even at the end, when Charlie is being given the greatest opportunity a little boy could want that will secure him a bright and happy future, Grandpa Joe's only question is [[ItsAllAboutMe how it will benefit him.]].

* BrokenAesop: The song where the Oompa-Loompa's lecture Augustus for [[VillainousGlutton eating too much candy]] rings a bit hollow considering they ''work for a candy company'' and thus depend on people like him for revenue.

** Grandpa Joe is already characterized by the fandom as a jobless deadbeat who faked having a disability to get out of working, only dropping the facade for a fun chocolate factory tour. Some take it a step further by speculating that he spends what little money the Bucket family has on cocaine and hookers and that he enjoys keeping his family in poverty ForTheEvulz. Some exaggerate it even further by theorizing that he was the mastermind behind numerous historical atrocities.
