Charlie and the Chocolate Parody: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Chuck]]'': Golden ticket hidden in a CD case.

* ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' did [http://snltranscripts.jt.org/02/02hwonka.phtml a sketch] with [[Al Gore]] as Willy's accountant brother, Glen.

'''Glen:''' Wait! I almost forgot! There's that billion dollars you spent on that machine that turns ''giant'' candy bars into ''tiny'' chocolate bars. Help me wrap my brain around that one 'cause I'm missing the big profit opportunity! }}

* The ''[[Victorious]]'' episode "Ice Cream for [[Kesha|Ke$ha]]", based around a contest to win a private concert from the singer.

== Western Animation ==

* The ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "Fry and the Slurm Factory". Though it plays around with the idea and produces a little twist for the plot.

'''Professor:''' Tell them I hate them. }}

* ''[[Family Guy]]'': [[Halfway Plot Switch|In one half of the episode]], "Wasted Talent", Peter drinks even more Pawtucket Patriot beer than usual attempting to find a hidden silver scroll and win a tour of the brewery (Many others die of alcohol poisoning also trying to win the contest). Later, Joe is kicked out by the Chumba Wumbas before the tour begins, since the brewery does not have wheelchair ramps.

'''Chumba Wumba #4:''' Maybe He's forgotten you. }}

** 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.

* ''[[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.

'''Leela:''' It varies [[Dead Baby Comedy|from person to person.]] }}

* ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' - Five golden diskettes for a trip to visit the [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] version of [[Stephen Hawking]]. All the other four kids are insufferable brainiacs like Dexter, but he's not the one who gets the golden diskette - Dee-Dee is. Fortunately for him, each winner was allowed to take a guest with them.

** Easily the strangest parody piece yet.

'''Chorus''': Shoop-a-dee-boop-a-dee-boop! That's Professor Hawk! }}

* The ''[[Drawn Together]]'' episode "Breakfast Food Killer". Five golden UPC codes from cereal boxes take the place of the golden tickets, and the chocolate factory is replaced by the cereal factory led by Franken Berry.

* ''[[Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil|Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil]]'' had one of these set in a dildo factory. With [[The Devil]] (voiced by H Jon Benjamin, no less) as Willy Wonka. And yes, the Devil sang songs about dildos while the lucky contest-winning girls toured his room where everything was made out of dildos. He even overreacted when a girl stole a motor for a vibrator.

* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' parodied it a bit in "Toy to the World", where not even Phineas knows why the toy factory he was renovating had a chocolate fountain and "ba-dink-a-dinks" in it.

'''Phineas''': Okay then, carry on. }}

* When ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'' and friends tried to get Buster Baxter to read an entire book for the first time ever, one of the books selected is "Sam and the Sandwich Factory", with Buster playing the role of Sam. Sam had broken his teeth when he found the Golden Sandwich by biting it, and therefore couldn't accept the owner's prize of sandwiches; he asks if there's a soup factory around.

* Children's animated series ''Frankenstein's Cat'' includes an episode entitled "Lucky Ticket" which plays directly upon this trope, right down to the costumes of Doctor Frankenstein and his cat Nine. In the episode Frankenstein decides to placate an angry mob by announcing that he will give whoever finds his five golden tickets a tour of his castle. Said castle is actually full of dangerous monsters, but (with the help of Nine and child protagonist Lottie) Frankenstein attempts to pass the castle off as an actual chocolate factory.

* In an episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', the plot looks like it's going to go this way: Homer is looking for a Golden Ticket in packages of bacon to win a tour of the bacon factory. He begins his 'buying lots of bacon' bender and ends up getting a ticket in the third package. In a subversion, however, it's just a ''silver'' ticket, which [[Halfway Plot Switch|entitles him to be a judge at a local fair, leading into the Pie Man superhero parody episode.]]
