As noted on the [[Whole-Plot Reference]] trope page, it's almost inevitable that an animated show will eventually have a ''[[Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'' parody episode. Such parodies usually explicitly mimic the 1971 movie ''Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory'', famed for its memorable and easily repurposed musical numbers, and the idiosyncracies of Gene Wilder's [[The Wonka|Willy Wonka]].
Line 26:
* ''[[Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi]]'' "Taffy Trouble".
* ''[[Chuck]]'': Golden ticket hidden in a CD case.
* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' did [https://web.archive.org/web/20130930074915/http://snltranscripts.jt.org/02/02hwonka.phtml a sketch] with [[Al Gore]] as Willy's accountant brother, Glen.
{{quote|'''Glen:''' What I'm saying, William, is that, thanks to your wizwarbulous ideas, this factory is ''hemorrhaging money!!'' You have a chocolate river running through here! And I'm pretty sure earlier today a fat kid drowned in it. You tell me how that's helping our bottom line!
'''Wonka:''' Glen, please, take it easy!

* In ''Out of the Gene Pool'', Jackie dreamed of visiting a chocolate factory owned by Zoogie. Imagine her disappointment that she didn't get the factory for being the last guest left -- andleft—and Zoogie's incredulity that she asked.

* ''[[Sinfest]]'' did this once... in four-panel format. 'Slick and the Cocaine-Factory', starring Satan as the eccentric factory owner [https://web.archive.org/web/20140111133630/http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=2094 here].
* ''[[The Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' had one of these - it's even in the style of Roald Dahl's regular artist Quentin Blake. [http://www.pbfcomics.com/153/ Well, maybe not ''chocolate'', but close enough...]
* ''[[Goats]]'' has a version with "humpa lumpas" that are not to be confused with the characters of other parodies with erotic themes. The storyline (about the perils of parody) starts here: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120522035454/http://www.goats.com/archive/000828.html\]
* ''Roger & Dominic'' had the storyline [http://www.roganddom.com/roger-the-chocolate-factory-massacre-0749/ "Roger and the Chocolate Factory Massacre"], which is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].
* ''[[Murry Purry Fresh and Furry]]'' has a straight up parody - it doesn't even bother to set it in something other than a [https://web.archive.org/web/20140108203755/http://www.murrypurry.com/?p=433 candy factory].
* ''[[The Non-Adventures of Wonderella]]'' had [http://nonadventures.com/2009/12/05/grape-me/ a little incident] when Wonderella Sr. took her kids on a winery tour.

Line 70 ⟶ 71:
** Later on, Peter and Brian repeated the scene where Charlie and Grandpa Joe disobeyed Willy Wonka. Unlike Wonka, Pat wouldn't wait until the end to expel them. Peter complained that he'd not get a Chumba Wamba song. Pat then called them. At first, they started singing but then one of them kicked Peter's leg.
** Peter lampshades this in a later episode (where a return to the factory shows that it's a standard factory) by saying how things had changed since Pawtucket Pat sold the factory.
** An episode predating "Wasted Talent" had a briefer and more blatant reference. Peter has a flashback to his trip to a chocolate factory, where he's accused of stealing candy -- andcandy—and though he denies it, it's clear from his big, round, blue appearance that he stole the same gum that changed Violet into a giant blueberry. Incidentally, it's a direct steal of an identical cutaway gag in an episode of [[The Critic]].
* ''[[Johnny Bravo]]'' combines this with a parody of ''[[Soylent Green]]'', of all things. Johnny had won a visit to a jerky plant, where his knowledge impressed the owner to the point of being made his heir. Unfortunately, Johnny had brought along Pop, who spied on Jerky Jake to find out the secret ingredient. Finding out Jerky Jake's jerky was healthy food made Johnny more shocked than thinking it was made of people.
** The ''[[Futurama]]'' example above throws in a [[Soylent Green]] reference too.
Line 98 ⟶ 99:
* ''[[Superjail]]'' is an entire ''series'' full of ''Chocolate Factory'' parodies. The main character in particular is a combination of [[The Wonka|Willy Wonka]] and, um, [[The Mengele|Josef Mengele]].
* ''The [[Little Lulu]] Show'' episode "Iggy And The Ice Cream Factory" also included a few references to this trope.
* ''[[What's New, Scooby -Doo?]]'' had an episode where the gang won a tour of the Scooby Snack factory. As the winner, Shaggy could have chosen between this and a trip to Aruba.
