From what I've seen, the woman playing the Oompa Loompa there did try her best to make it fun for the kids. Someone managed to get a photo of her looking miserable, but she at least tried
Yeah, from what I read in an interview she was really trying her best and felt horrible that the thing was a scam. By the time she saw how bad shit was she had already signed the contract to work there for the event. Edit: The interview was on a site called "the vulture" for anyone interested in finding it.
I feel really bad for her. Imagine showing up for your job, having your boss screw everyone over, and now you're the face of the entire debacle and everyone's making fun of you. That poor woman.
i hope she goes on to do amazing things. that breaks my heart. i can only imagine how she must have felt putting in so much effort for this disaster. it’s giving “saturday morning comic con in the reading room at the local library; meet elsa and spider man!” and it breaks my heart. i’m sure she was excited to perform for kids in such an immersive experience and realized that if she didn’t at least try with every ounce of energy she had, the kids would have an even worse time in this dusty dystopian warehouse
Imagine paying $40 expecting an authentic Willy Wonka experience, but instead ending up in a real life backrooms level with a man who lives in the walls.
The worst is that she became the event's unwilling face. She gets to look at that photo in every article and video. Fuck the money, at that point I'd just want to forget it.

This thing made me remember a "Jurassic Adventure" in my home city. It charged me 20 EUROS for 10 to 15 minutes of seeing crappy animatronics, some barely functioning. It was also an empty warehouse with no attempt to decorate, and the music - I kid you not - the music was a 45-second (yep, I timed it) rendition of the Jurassic Park theme. When I arrived at the "gift shop," the only dino-themed items were Chinese knock-offs called Jurassic Farm. The cheapest item was a mug for 15 euros, almost the same price as the ticket. I regret to this day why I didn't demanded my money back after the first 10 seconds when I realized what it was - the worst date I have ever had. Thank you Charlie for this memory.

Honestly I feel more bad for the kids than the parents. Imagine being told you're gonna take a fun trip to Willy Wonkas factory and this is what you arrive to. If I were one of those kids I would be heartbroken.
The fact that some people around glasgow, scotland really saw one of the most fake ass ads that is clearly made by ai, and just said "yeah this looks good"
I’m stage managing a Willy Wonka production at my local theater, and I’m baffled how my crew of seven 13-16 year olds with power tools could make a better “Willy Wonka experience” than a whole ass corporation.
that's probably no corporation, just a shell company for a scammer to hide behind. The company's website is the same AI slop as the wonka promotional material and the main organiser of the event "writes" books with chatGPT.
The guy that created the event is a conspiracy nut obsessed with AI and, by the looks of things, an awful Diet Coke habit. He’s only released conspiracy books online under that company. I’m surprised it wasn’t worse.
I just love the pic of the woman behind the table with the Breaking Bad kind of equipment. She looks either high on whatever Wonka’s cooking up or she wants to drown in the chocolate river. Not that I want her to be miserable but it looks like a no context pic
>no context pic Well, someone on 8chan had fixed below that famous 'depressed Oompa-Loompa' a quoted 4chan post stating "if you only knew how bad things really are." Honestly seems like a poignant quote for the picture.
The thing I find funny is that most people in Britain aren't fussed by this, it's pretty common to have things like this. Britain is unmatched for its miserable children events. The winter wonderland that was a few fairy lights in trees; the £85 grinch; the halloween place that was just pumpkins in a muddy field; the clown that had a fight with the kid's dad; the easter land that was a load of cardboard rabbits that blew away in the wind. Unrivalled.
On google, I found that the guy who did this event is also known for two other things: collecting toys for some sort of donation and then cancelling the event (ie. stealing children's toys), and also for being the author of 17 AI-generated self-published novels which he passes off as being his own work. Seems like this guy is just an all-around scammer who's using AI to push the boundaries of scamming. It's weird, this whole event seems like more trouble than it's worth if you just wanted to scam people for money. It almost seems like a publicity stunt, like he wanted this story to blow up.
@@MK_ULTRA420If this event is anything to go by, people will realize how AI has almost nothing to fight against abuse by bad actors. This shit WILL be regulated one way or another.
I am CRYING over the unknown character they randomly added to a KIDS SHOW😭. Like babes you didn’t need to add the demon this whole thing was scary enough.
I’m really glad the actors who were hired weren’t blamed for the scam by the victims or even the majority of the Internet. They had no idea how terrible the event would be, and were just there because they were hired to play a role. I’ve seen quite often people who were scammed be rightfully angry, but take it out on the wrong people who had nothing to do with it. Glad this wasn’t one of those cases and people acknowledge the actors tried their best! Just hate that now their names and faces are associated with this catastrophe.
@Suarez05 sadly we live in the age of "exposing people without proof" its bad. Not saying the guy didnt do it, but i dont believe anything without proof. Everyone is getting fake accusations lately.
Actually the poster didn't say "a paradise of sweet treats", it said: "a pasadise of sweet TEATS" and frankly I'm dissappointed Charlie missed this important distinction
This is accidentally the funniest thing ever. They scammed people in such a lazy low effort way that it’s almost impressive how confident they were that it was going to work. It’s like they tried but at the same time they didn’t
This happens to be very funny. They brought people together in a lazy and powerless way to surprise them with how they hoped it would work. Apparently they tried though
The fact that this event took two of my big hyperfixations, Willy Wonka and Phantom of the Opera, and transformed them into a surreal horrorshow to scam children 😭
a singular jelly bean is crazy, imagine hearing your parents say that you are going to a willy wonka chocolate factory experience and getting a singular jelly bean and fuck all lemonade
Why a single jelly bean? Were they really so cheap that they couldn't give a child a small pack of jellybeans? 😂 Do they not have dollar stores in Scotland? Is chocolate hard to get in Glasgow? At least give the kids a pack of M&Ms or even a single Hershey Kiss to keep the chocolate theme! 🍫
@@hope-cat4894 exactly, like a pack of mini m&m's would be hundreds of times better, but then again all the marketing materiel was ai made so what could you really expect?
@@superobotmonkeythe factory looks like a meth lab, Breaking Bad is a show about a dude who runs a meth lab. His brother-in-law, Hank, is a cop who is looking for the dude who is running the meth lab.
Imagine being the employee, whose job is to entertain children, and having to muster up the courage to give a kid a single jellybean and a quarter cup of lemonade with a straight face.
Yeah, these poorly named algorithms are basically useless to anyone not willing to sift through all the garbage it creates to find something it didn't mess up too badly. Oh, but it's skynet! Clearly calling an algorithm "ai" makes it think for itself! Just like me changing my name to "most handsome man on earth" gave me free plastic surgery to make it true while i slept that night. Coz everyone knows calling something a thing, makes that thing true. That's why nk is democratic! (The dprk)
An entire bag of jellybeans usually costs only a few dollars at most. The fact that someone had to spend $40 PER PERSON to get into this place and their kid was only given one SINGULAR jellybean is insane. And apparently Tesco lemonade is like the cheapest of stuff, usually it’s only like 50 cents for a 2L bottle and they were given a quarter cup. That is beyond outrageous, that is straight up criminal. The person who ran this is a bigger cheapskate than Mr Krabs!
Approximate budget breakdown: Marketing - $0 Actors - $50 and a bottle of lemonade (to be shared with the children) Decor - $43.97 left on a dollar store gift card One (1) bag of jelly beans - $3.99
This is just like that episode of Ed Edd n Eddy where Eddy advertises a fake amusement park to Jimmy, and the second he steps through the doors, it’s literally nothing but an alleyway full of garbage and filth
The fact they just used an AI generated advertisement with text they never even read is rather disturbing. I feel like there's more to Charlie's suggestion that the whole thing was entirely orchestrated by an AI than we're giving credit.
From what I remember the children wasn't allowed to eat the treats too? One drank the chocolate milk and drowned from it. One had a candy that made them blow up like a balloon. Even Charlie and his grandad had a sweet and almost floated into fan blades?
Its clearly cleverly designed by someone with a lawyer who knows how to make sure you keep the money you stole. Now the kids being traumatized, that one could be maybe looked into.
@@NobleNemesis I don't even believe this cokehead could afford a lawyer. Maybe he knows someone who's a lawyer, though, and they agreed to give him a bit of advice on how to avoid getting sued out the ass
Like they intentionally told chatGPT to make something as bad as possible, then made that text their design document But as funny as an AI event is, Fyre festival still takes it for me solely because it was made by humans. Where an actual human being somehow thought these were good decisions
>misleading colorful and bright AI posters with blatant misspellings >abandoned warehouse setting >creepy lab with creepy and disheveled actors >giving kids one jellybean and 1/4th a cup of lemonade which I'm going to ASSUME isn't drugged >over priced tickets for a beyond sub par experience You cannot convince me this wasn't a child kidnapping operation abandoned halfway through for whatever reason to make it into a terrible theme park scam. I would've taken my child and ran as far away as I could the second I saw this. This is the stuff of nightmares.
Also the use of Willy Wonka specific imagery that's supposed to further lure people in. Though in that case it might've been too powerful a lure for its own good
Let's not forget the added scare of "The Unknown" which shows a clearly less than benevolent attitude towards the children, and the 'House of Illuminati' name lol. Creepy af
I didn't want to be the only one saying this so I didn't leave a comment until I saw yours. A SINGLE jelly bean?? Nah... The "curtains".... The whole vibe of this is so completely wrong.
As someone from Glasgow this is so funny that something stupid that happened here somehow made it to nation wide news and even has Charlie talking about it
@Jgumyjymghjvmhvj u clown reasons cotland doesnt get talked about is cause u american luno scotland into England for example british memes are all English stuff lol u guys never look at other shizz or there will be a video on a topic and the history of the topic coukd take place in Scotland but the touruber doing the vid will complete not add alk that information in and skip it
It wasn’t made by AI, this was just the Gang from Always Sunny. Charlie made the poster and the scripts, hence the spelling errors and nonsense, Frank orchestrated it, Mac made “the evil karate man in the walls,” and Dee was casted as the miserable methlab lady, and Dennis was probably wandering the crowd hitting on the moms. On a positive note, Rickety Cricket is looking healthy. Even got casted as Willy Wonka, himself.
Nice, these folks paid 40 bucks (or 35 pounds in that case) to see a grey warehouse, a green-haired woman (I feel so bad for her), a homeless encampment and a creepy long-haired dude that scares kids. You don't even have to pay for it, all you have to do is go to Birmingham. Edit: The Unknown was actually portrayed by an actress. Regardless, it was a bust of cosmic proportions, poor kids and their parents.
3:40 as a PoTO fan i genuinely cackled seriously though i kind of wonder how the Willy Wonka actor managed to say his lines with a straight face and not writhe in laughter on the floor
I think the poster is meant to say; "Captivating. Live performances. Catchy tunes. Extraordinary lollipops. A paradise of sweets." I had a stroke deciphering that dyslexic mess.
The other awful part about all this is that the people who worked here probably adore the Willy wonka movies, and now they can never watch them without remembering this embrassing experience lol
You'd be surprised how often this happens in the UK. Every so many months there's a story about some scam family event that promised immersive wonderland themed experience, only for families to pull up to pot-holed parking lots with one overheated reindeer (Christmas theme), or a single pen fill with rabbits, rabbit shit and chocolate eggs the rabbits are nibbling on (Easter). It's almost a tradition here 😅
I don't even think bunnies should be eating chocolate! All you mentioned's straight up abuse! Srsly does the RSPCA or similar still exist? If so then they oughta make some dough with the lawsuits on these
My favorite part of the whole dumpster fire is just how bad of an AI job the script was. It literally had sections where the actor's response was predicated on how the audience was supposed to react (even including sections how the audience was supposed to feel through out different sections of the event). The script also would require to the actors to perform literal magic, like entering a bubble room and Wonka catching a bubble that turns into a sparkler that flies up into the celling. Or the script gave details of the surroundings that would even exceed the budgets of the actual Wonk films, like a having a flowing river of lemonade. And the part about The Unknown being a chocolate maker that lives in the wall? Yeah that part is not in the script or even brought up by the actors. It is just a description within the script for the character that is never brought up and the audience is never informed about it. This is what Hollywood Studios think will replace writers.
I mean this negatively but it probably will to an extent eventually. But using this technology with 0 oversight as is right now is a total fool's errand.
It just seems like some weird art installation.. “House Of Illuminati”? Using AI for this much of the process? Trying to scam people because performance artists are poor? It’s gotta be.
Some poor suckers paid $40 to see Willy Wonka at home when they could have been doing their patriotic duty and fighting for Super Earth in Helldivers 2
Apparently the guy that ran it is a known scam artist that has done smaller things to scam people. Hes not sorry that the kids had a bad experience, he is sorry he got caught and got major backlash for it
He has a website on way back machine where he has a bunch of crazy made up metaphysics degrees, and he has a bunch of books on Amazon that are probably AI generated.
To be fair, Willy scammed those kids himself in the original movie, they won tickets to his chocolate factory only to get tortured and "taught lessons" even is a theory on how Willy scammed the winning kid by just pawning off his factory to someone else because it wasn't making money...
Charlie inherited all of Wonka's legal fees and fines for violating every kind of labour and safety regulation imaginable. And this was mid-1960s Britain, back when they actually _had_ some safety regulations and labour rights.
Lmfao; you sound like a hippy. Clearly the story involved Charlie being mysterious, yet very successful. It's a story of a billionaire giving his wealth to a have-not who morally deserved it.@@DistractedGlobeGuy

Is your friend pretty thick? All the advertising was god awful fake AI “art” with AI induced spelling mistakes, no actual photos of the location, all done by a company no one has ever heard of who’s website is just more AI garbage. How do you not do a bit of research before spending £70+?
Reminds me of an event my parents brought me and my brother to when we were kids. It was advertised to be this big superhero event with all sorts of superheroes from Marvel and DC, but when we got there, it was two creepy old dudes in spiderman and batman costumes, a station where you could make a sword out of tinfoil and a bouncy castle that kids were only allowed in for a minute
When I was a kid, my parents threw me a Willy Wonka themed birthday party, and it looked 20 times better than this! (Honestly it was actually very impressive, they did a great job with it!) Not to mention the kids who attended (for free) were all given actual chocolate Wonka bars, and each one had a birthday invitation in the form of a Golden Ticket hidden inside it.
You really are lucky that you have such great parents. Past topics with Charlie confirmed that ppl have the worst luck of being born under horrifying parents
@@ehrichan6726 I've seen several genuinely well made art of the fuckin pretender thing they made up that jumped out from behind a mirror and scared the children
When I was a kid, my church would throw a Vacation Bible School event every summer. I helped my mom sometimes with the decorations, so I can confidently say that children at a non-profit church event would have been able to put on a better show than this disaster.
My church had a haunted house when I was like 13 and it was miles better than this, and it was supposed to be a money raising thing because the church already was broke as hell, and it was mostly the youths who put it together, and it was so much better than this, genuinely no effort was put in here
My church growing up would put on cool events all the time they would rent rides and allot of people would make like almost fair games to play and all free and you still won prizes awsome times great memories
My prinary school's haunted house is better than whatever ScamWonka Land is. The 12 yos will put effort in the decorations, makeup, costumes and give me and my old schoolmates a little scare back then.
I lowkey love that ai was involved so much. And because the person didn't care in the slightest it showed ai's flaws spectacularly, rather than the insanely cherry picked ai content we usually see.
Anything in the wrong hands will never look good so of course it's going to look like trash. I don't think you realize how far AI has come, we've been using AI for years but now we've given AI the ability to think for itself but not to the extent you see in movies, yet and you can't stop it from advancing
@@cybertruckeralpha AI bro detected. Actors and writers are actually self aware, which is something an AI can’t do. Hell it probably doesn’t know what script it is writing outside of plagiarism.
Apparently she was really trying her best to make the experience better for the kids too. They ran out of jellybeans halfway through and had to start rationing before eventually running out. She and the other actors apparently just threw out the scripts after a few run throughs and were just doing their best.
I feel like Courage would give him a bar of his favorite childhood chocolate and he'd save Eustace and Muriel from the real villain of the episode after becoming best friends with Courage.
I actually went to one of these "scams"... I convinced my parents to go see a "art installation" with me downtown, and I really wish I hadn't. The event advertised itself much the same, but it didn't use AI. It showed amazing art installations and such, but it was all concept art made by artists. When we got to the actual event it was just a empty warehouse with a some stuff spread around. Granted, the black light room was kinda cool, but everything else was a total waste of time. They had stuff for kids too, none of it looked like it was clean or being cleaned though. The ending was a "VR experience" which was just an old Oculus rift that was covered in sweat stain and had some old game you definitely didn't wana try and risk getting diseases to play. Anyways, this was about 4 years ago and the ticket cost was $75 because it "supported local artist" LOL.
I love how the entire internet went "nah, you good" to the actors trying their best and then went ballistic on the group behind this scam.

that's probably no corporation, just a shell company for a scammer to hide behind. The company's website is the same AI slop as the wonka promotional material and the main organiser of the event "writes" books with chatGPT.
The guy that created the event is a conspiracy nut obsessed with AI and, by the looks of things, an awful Diet Coke habit. He’s only released conspiracy books online under that company. I’m surprised it wasn’t worse.

I’m really glad the actors who were hired weren’t blamed for the scam by the victims or even the majority of the Internet. They had no idea how terrible the event would be, and were just there because they were hired to play a role.

Glad this wasn’t one of those cases and people acknowledge the actors tried their best! Just hate that now their names and faces are associated with this catastrophe.

My favorite part of the whole dumpster fire is just how bad of an AI job the script was. It literally had sections where the actor's response was predicated on how the audience was supposed to react (even including sections how the audience was supposed to feel through out different sections of the event).
The script also would require to the actors to perform literal magic, like entering a bubble room and Wonka catching a bubble that turns into a sparkler that flies up into the celling. Or the script gave details of the surroundings that would even exceed the budgets of the actual Wonk films, like a having a flowing river of lemonade.
And the part about The Unknown being a chocolate maker that lives in the wall? Yeah that part is not in the script or even brought up by the actors. It is just a description within the script for the character that is never brought up and the audience is never informed about it.
This is what Hollywood Studios think will replace writers.

Is your friend pretty thick? All the advertising was god awful fake AI “art” with AI induced spelling mistakes, no actual photos of the location, all done by a company no one has ever heard of who’s website is just more AI garbage.
How do you not do a bit of research before spending £70+?
I guess it's the one piece of human made content in this mess
The Unknown needs more love lol
The Unknown also made a face reveal and many guys tried to claim they were The Unknown but it's actually a teenage girl
*spends $40 on a ticket*
"you get nothing! you lose! good day sir!"
Under rated comment 😂
£40?
a pound is worth $1.23
*£40
@@nuherbleath461 my jaw dropped when i converted this to aud lmao $80 AUD FOR THIS SHIT??💀
Reminds me of an event my parents brought me and my brother to when we were kids. It was advertised to be this big superhero event with all sorts of superheroes from Marvel and DC, but when we got there, it was two creepy old dudes in spiderman and batman costumes, a station where you could make a sword out of tinfoil and a bouncy castle that kids were only allowed in for a minute
That’s sucks for you 💀
OH that's absoulute garbage
In what world are you only able to stay in a bounce house for one minOH RIGHT ITS THIS ONE-
When I was a kid, my parents threw me a Willy Wonka themed birthday party, and it looked 20 times better than this! (Honestly it was actually very impressive, they did a great job with it!)
Not to mention the kids who attended (for free) were all given actual chocolate Wonka bars, and each one had a birthday invitation in the form of a Golden Ticket hidden inside it.
You really are lucky that you have such great parents. Past topics with Charlie confirmed that ppl have the worst luck of being born under horrifying parents
Your parents were probably rich
Man can you give me your number so i can come to your next birthday jk, you have awesome parents.
@@snickerdoodles787so what if they are 😂 does that make you feel some type of way? If so why?
Cause they loved you.
3:00 This is where I lost it. I'm fucking crying holy shit
What is that? It’s the unknown 😂😂😂😂 some demon ass looking villain, he has no right to be at a Charlie and the chocolate factory event 😭😭😭
gave my self abs w how bad tht shi was😭
@@MeloFelloJcrazy
Watched this unfold live on twitter, it was crazy
Everyone loves the meth lab oompah loompah
The bots and trolls are still going, I see... but yeah, this is the funniest thing that has happened so far this year.
@@bellhop_phantomikr and they apparently even made a parody of Mona Lisa art of that poor girl which was shocking
@@ehrichan6726 I've seen several genuinely well made art of the fuckin pretender thing they made up that jumped out from behind a mirror and scared the children
I’m actually a fan of “The Unknown” that character by itself is actually genuinely metal af
Drop his lore in the comments pls

When I was a kid, my church would throw a Vacation Bible School event every summer. I helped my mom sometimes with the decorations, so I can confidently say that children at a non-profit church event would have been able to put on a better show than this disaster.
yeah but the church is already literally a scam 200X worse than any of this nonsense in the video.
Holy crap VBS fr those shows and decor was so much better than this
My church had a haunted house when I was like 13 and it was miles better than this, and it was supposed to be a money raising thing because the church already was broke as hell, and it was mostly the youths who put it together, and it was so much better than this, genuinely no effort was put in here
My church growing up would put on cool events all the time they would rent rides and allot of people would make like almost fair games to play and all free and you still won prizes awsome times great memories
My prinary school's haunted house is better than whatever ScamWonka Land is. The 12 yos will put effort in the decorations, makeup, costumes and give me and my old schoolmates a little scare back then.
8:20 The Creator definitely made that apology on Chat GPT.
Tony Hayward: Sorry... 🙄
“-people on paper” yeah it’s definitely gotta be ai
I lowkey love that ai was involved so much. And because the person didn't care in the slightest it showed ai's flaws spectacularly, rather than the insanely cherry picked ai content we usually see.
Willy Wonkus & The AI Factory
Anything in the wrong hands will never look good so of course it's going to look like trash.
I don't think you realize how far AI has come, we've been using AI for years but now we've given AI the ability to think for itself but not to the extent you see in movies, yet and you can't stop it from advancing
Love seeing people made that AI is better than them lmao
Spoken lines are, likewise, insanely cherry-picked in movies and TV. We should ban actors.
@@cybertruckeralpha AI bro detected. Actors and writers are actually self aware, which is something an AI can’t do. Hell it probably doesn’t know what script it is writing outside of plagiarism.
I like to imagine The Unknown is like some old creepypasta character where if you encounter him, he moves into your walls to make his chocolate
8:45 ai generated apology
I feel sooo sorry for Meth oompa loompa, bless her tried her best now the most unflattering photo of her ever is viral
forreal 😭 like who would ever look good in the wig?!
And now her most unflattering name is viral too
Apparently she was really trying her best to make the experience better for the kids too. They ran out of jellybeans halfway through and had to start rationing before eventually running out. She and the other actors apparently just threw out the scripts after a few run throughs and were just doing their best.
yep
Actually because this is Scotland it’s probably heroin rather than meth
the Unknown is like a Courage the Cowardly Dog character or an SCP entry
I feel like Courage would give him a bar of his favorite childhood chocolate and he'd save Eustace and Muriel from the real villain of the episode after becoming best friends with Courage.
"Return the slab!"
I actually went to one of these "scams"... I convinced my parents to go see a "art installation" with me downtown, and I really wish I hadn't. The event advertised itself much the same, but it didn't use AI. It showed amazing art installations and such, but it was all concept art made by artists. When we got to the actual event it was just a empty warehouse with a some stuff spread around. Granted, the black light room was kinda cool, but everything else was a total waste of time.
They had stuff for kids too, none of it looked like it was clean or being cleaned though. The ending was a "VR experience" which was just an old Oculus rift that was covered in sweat stain and had some old game you definitely didn't wana try and risk getting diseases to play.
Anyways, this was about 4 years ago and the ticket cost was $75 because it "supported local artist" LOL.
