Line 22:
'''Wonka:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|There's no better time to learn.]] }}
** Both movies' versions can qualify for this in a certain light:
*** Willy Wonka and the: 'Slugworth''s prompt appearance wherever the tickets were found seemed to imply that Wonka knew where said tickets were going to go in some form of [[Xanatos Gambit]]. Now true, the first four tickets were filmed, so time could have passed between the finding and the news report, but 'Slugworth' appearing in Charlie's path stretches coincidence a bit far unless Wonka planned for the tickets to be placed in certain locations.
*** The commentary even points out that there was already a news crew waiting for one of Mr. Salt's workers to find a ticket.
*** Charlie and the: The Oompa-Loompas' 'improvisation' also smacks of conspiracy, but ramps it straight into [[Gambit Roulette|casino territory]], as it rather implies that he cherrypicked those kids specifically.
Line 46:
** "Oh, and my name is... [[Double Entendre|Willy]]."
** [[Mock the Week|"Discuss the idea that Willy Wonka was a pedophile."]]
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: [[Hair (theatre)|"Good morning starshine! The Earth says 'Hello!'"]]
* [[Purity Sue]]: Charlie, who's a ''saint'' in comparison to his alternate universe self (who was still a good kid, but flawed like a regular child). He's hardly even given a chance to test his character for the first half of the film, unlike his 1971 self who faces the temptation of both Slugworth's deal and the fizzy lifting drinks.
** This is actually more in line with how he was written in the book. Whether or not staying faithful to the book was a good thing in this case is a definite YMMV situation.
