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.
It's the sheer shittiness of it all. The Wonka actor trying his hardest to salvage it, the air vents blasting in the background, the grey walls and flooring, the random ass Unknown character scaring the kids to the point they cry. The whole thing is art.
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.
I'd like to know how gullible some of the people were that purchased tickets. I mean personally, whenever I see something with broken writing and misspelled words to the extent we saw, the first thing that comes to mind is a scammer and at the very least I raise an eyebrow.
@@airraverstazapparently, most the tickets where sold via a somewhat reputable 3rd party site. So either THEY got scammed as well, or they where part of the scam, neither is a good look for them.
I feel embarrassed for the actors. They had nothing to do with the setup. They just get paid to show up on the day, so imagine the sinking anxiety when they pull up and see THAT and realize that they're going to be the "face" of this debacle as disappointed families shuffle past them with unimpressed glares.
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.

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.
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
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.
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
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.
I’m convinced the unknown wasn’t even part of the experience, he was just a random guy in the walls. Edit: it being a random 16 year old girl somehow is even more funny💀💀
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)
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
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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 😭
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
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
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?
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
>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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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
That's just shameful. I've seen people - my niece included - who had no party planning or formal design experience, yet had brighter, happier, and more colorful decorations throughout a party, and more activities. For goodness sakes, they could have done better if they had just googled some ideas and asked some neighborhood kids what they think might be fun.
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
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
I want to emphasise he said "Tesco's own brand Lemonade" which means the event organisers went to Tesco (like going to Walmart) and got the cheapest lemonade available lol
I had a reoccuring dream as a kid that i went to disneyland/six flags and it was like 20 foot tall home made "rollercoasters", rides made out of soapboxes, and nobody in the entire theme park. Basically this is that nightmare in reality.
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.
@@matthewbest5421I can see it now. Michael in a shoddily made Willy Wonka costume that somehow has a beard. Dwight being an overenthusiastic Oompa Loompa trying to get people to come to the place but always ends up scaring them away. Jim, Pam, Oscar and the others silently judging and cringing at the whole spectacle and Kevin stuffing himself with home made chocolate fudge that Michael specifically told him not to eat.
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
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
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
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.
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+?
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.
@@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
theres a bunch of reddit pages who have tracked down the man behind the scam and its a terminal scammer who has written entire books in AI, is a known asshat, and now everyones got his comapnies house and tax details so hopefully someone big and powerful goes after him
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.
How it should be, I'm sure the actors were expecting an event much better put together

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.

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.
This was created by someone looking to scam people out of money, not to legitimately write a good script and host a successful event.

Originally this seemed pretty goofy, but knowing this disaster cost $40 is even crazier
whoever made this is a bigger cheapskate than Mr. Krabs, which really says a lot.
Idk, man. $40 for front row seats to a disaster of this caliber kinda seems like a tiny w at the very least.
They probally only spent 400 dollars on this lmao
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
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...
>original movie
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
@@DistractedGlobeGuynah this shit is crazy 😭😂 bro in crippling dept
@@DistractedGlobeGuywhy did bro give all his money to this one kid who happened to not misbehave
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-
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
How did he expect not to get caught after setting up this scam?? I mean it was not even a good scam where he just disappeared after
Look at the posters. Of course it's a scam. He didn't even bother to fix the typos
Where source?
Oh hell NO he will not get away this time
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.
The place is giving dashcon vibes, you can’t tell me that sad “chocolate river” doesn’t remind you of the ballpit
STOPPPPPP
If you donate towards the oompa loompa’s wages, you get extra time in the chocolate river
They actually had a jump tent inflatable. So a slight step above a ball pit
I hope no one pissed in the chocolate river
I don't think the river of viscous brown fluid running out of that ballpit was chocolate.
My friend took his kid to this, there's already fan made lore of "the unknown"
I love how infatuated everyone is with The Unknown
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
This felt like a ploy to lure a bunch of people into a warehouse for a “fun” experience and then the “unknown” mass murders everyone
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.
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
theres a bunch of reddit pages who have tracked down the man behind the scam and its a terminal scammer who has written entire books in AI, is a known asshat, and now everyones got his comapnies house and tax details so hopefully someone big and powerful goes after him
what happened to the guy after? did he get arrested?
Or he’ll get swatted
@@bruhmoment5289 arrested for what? buyer beware lmao
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.
