Summary

TLDRThe internet was set ablaze by a disastrous Willy Wonka-themed event in Glasgow, Scotland, that left kids traumatized and parents furious. Advertised with AI-generated art and promises of a magical chocolate experience, families were met with a smoky, empty warehouse, a few sad props, and disturbing characters like the 'Unknown' - a shadowy figure terrorizing children.

🍫 Disastrous Willy Wonka Event in Glasgow

A Willy Wonka-themed event in Glasgow, Scotland, became a viral disaster when it turned out to be a letdown, prompting parents to call the police. Marketed as a magical journey into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, families were met with an empty warehouse, a murky chocolate fountain, a small bouncy castle, and no actual chocolate. The event, charged at $40 per person, was far from the enchanting experience promised, featuring sad, empty spaces and disappointed children dressed up for magic that never materialized. The poor execution and lack of actual activities led to widespread frustration and disbelief among attendees.

05:02

📱 Misleading AI Advertisements and Poor Planning

The event was promoted using exclusively AI-generated images, leading to unrealistic expectations. The promotional material was filled with errors and bizarre offerings, including a 'Twilight tunnel' that clearly showcased the limits of AI's understanding of a fun children's event. Actors were given AI-generated scripts full of gibberish, and the inexplicable character 'The Unknown' was introduced, adding a confusing element to the already chaotic experience. Despite the mess, the event's promotional website, run by 'House of Illuminati', remained active, inviting scrutiny over its misleading advertisements and the bizarre inclusion of AI in planning and execution.

10:03

🚓 Aftermath and Reflections on the Failed Event

Following police intervention, refunds were issued as the event's failure became apparent. The company director apologized, attributing the disaster to 'unforeseen circumstances' and technological issues, specifically the non-arrival of 'holographic paper' which was supposed to enhance the event. Actors and attendees shared their disillusionment online, with one actor mocking the reliance on AI for scriptwriting and another, portraying an Oompa Loompa, reflecting on the sad and confused reactions of children and parents. The event's failure was attributed to a combination of over-reliance on technology, poor planning, and a significant disconnect between marketing and reality.

In the context of the video, the advertised 'immersive Willy Wonka experience' promised to transport attendees into the world of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, filled with 'wondrous creations and enchanting surprises.' However, the experience fell drastically short of these expectations.

💡Scam

A scam is a fraudulent scheme or deceptive act intended to extract money or other valuable assets from victims under false pretenses. The video portrays the Willy Wonka experience as a potential scam, with parents paying significant entry fees (up to $160 per family) only to find an empty warehouse with minimal decorations and activities, prompting them to call the police.

The video highlights the overwhelming disappointment experienced by attendees, particularly the children who were 'all dressed up and crying,' having anticipated a 'magical experience' that never materialized.

💡The Unknown

The Unknown refers to a terrifying, shadowy figure that unexpectedly appeared at the Willy Wonka experience, described as an 'evil chocolate maker who hides in the walls and scares little children.'

After the disastrous Willy Wonka experience, the video states that 'people started getting refunded,' implying that the organizers had to provide refunds due to the overwhelmingly poor quality of the event.

💡Schadenfreude

Schadenfreude is a German term that refers to the feeling of pleasure or satisfaction derived from the misfortunes or failures of others.

to call the police to get Justice for

00:27

the horrors they had witnessed police

00:29

were called to an immersive Willy Wonka

00:31

experience after family showed up to an

00:33

empty Warehouse the event reportedly

00:35

charged $40 per entry that's per person

00:38

by the way advertised with AI art and

00:41

said it would be a journey filled with

00:43

wondrous creations and enchanting

00:45

surprises at every turn and oh what

00:48

enchanting surprises they found kids

00:50

were all dressed up and crying waiting

00:52

00:54

magical experience yeah that's the

00:55

surprise no magic here just Sadness the

00:59

surprise was them crying if they called

01:01

01:02

bad cuz they didn't even do that in the

01:04

actual Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

01:06

and kids were dying in that movie and

01:08

honestly it does look like it was

01:09

terrifying take a look at some of the

01:11

images of the abandoned warehouse that

01:13

parents had to spend $40 to gain access

01:16

to okay here we have some sort of

01:19

chocolate fountain uh with murky brown

01:23

Water floating in it we have one bouncy

01:25

castle that can fit like three kids

01:28

giant empty space filled with table and

01:30

chairs you're probably thinking there

01:31

must be something pretty good to eat

01:33

here with all these table and chairs

01:35

probably some pretty tasty chocolate

01:37

right no there was no chocolate at this

01:39

event these photos look like a crime

01:41

scene dude these look like willly Wonka

01:43

had to flee the country after the FDA

01:45

found fentol in his chocolate so he has

01:47

to post up in an abandoned Factory to

01:49

keep the business going while the feds

01:51

are after him you got this lovely scene

01:54

I think that the size of the warehouse

01:56

really screwed them over honestly if it

01:58

was a smaller room things wouldn't it

02:00

wouldn't look so empty there would still

02:01

be nothing to do there but it wouldn't

02:03

look so sad in a way seeing this

02:05

photography light in front of this like

02:07

$2 Candyland backdrop makes me feel kind

02:10

of sad for the people who put on this

02:12

event like a you really thought people

02:14

were going to want to take pictures in

02:15

front of this [ __ ] of course not no if

02:18

two parents brought two kids to this

02:20

event it would cost

02:22

$160 and you're getting this I think I

02:25

get why they called the police honestly

02:27

dude if I was promised some kind of fun

02:29

Willy Wonka experience for the kids and

02:31

then showed up to this foggy Warehouse I

02:33

would think I was about to be murdered

02:35

in some kind of Willy Wonka themed Saw

02:37

movie and if that's not enough wait

02:39

until you see the nightmarish characters

02:41

they had running around this place so

02:43

this is one of the most famous pictures

02:45

to come out of the whole ordeal this is

02:47

an Oompa Loompa obviously a lot of

02:49

people are focusing on the facial

02:51

expression she's making in this picture

02:52

she looks exasperated and honestly I

02:55

don't blame her this has to be like the

02:56

worst acting gig she's ever had as far

02:59

as I know this actor wasn't putting on

03:01

the event she was just hired to be there

03:03

she's probably dealing with crying

03:05

children pissed off parents also I'm

03:08

pretty sure canonically the Oompa

03:09

Loompas are enslaved by Willy Wonka so

03:11

the facial expression makes sense in

03:13

that context too what I'm actually more

03:14

concerned with is everything else going

03:16

on in this photo why is there so much

03:18

smoke I'm not super familiar with the

03:21

process of making chocolate but I'm 100%

03:23

sure there should not be that much smoke

03:25

happening no wonder she's making that

03:26

face dude she's high as hell and I love

03:28

all the mismatched chemistry gear she's

03:31

got strewn about the table beers vials

03:34

this mysterious Elixir locked up in a

03:36

little glass box a

03:39

quill Oompa Loompas take notes like

03:42

Wizards from the 1300s I didn't know

03:44

that all right now the other two

03:45

characters that were at this thing I got

03:47

to introduce you to at the same time

03:48

because they're both in the same video

03:50

clip so let me introduce you to Willy

03:52

Wonka and The Unknown what is that it's

03:57

the

03:58

unknown man what the hell dude [ __ ]

04:01

everything else I would call the police

04:03

based off of that who is that demon

04:05

surprising twists and turns was right in

04:07

the advertisement I would not expect to

04:09

take my kids to a Willy Wonka experience

04:12

and have them be accosted by a shadow

04:13

figure I can tell you that right now

04:15

it's terrifying that willly Wonka says

04:18

what is that when he sees it what is

04:20

that like dude this is your chocolate

04:22

factory you don't even know what that is

04:25

we are so [ __ ] here's a different clip

04:28

of some other kids experiencing the

04:29

unknown

04:32

as

04:37

scare love

04:40

fantastic yeah that's the correct

04:42

reaction to seeing the unknown what is

04:44

that Wonka says it this kid says it I'm

04:47

saying it also I love that baby's

04:49

reaction that was like a primal instinct

04:52

to make that sound humans have evolved

04:54

for millions of years to make that sound

04:56

when they see the

04:57

unknown According to some reports that

04:59

I've read from the event the unknown is

05:01

supposed to be an evil chocolate maker

05:03

who hides in the walls and scares little

05:06

children is he a part of the actual

05:08

Wonka story no was it advertised that

05:10

there would be a child scaring monster

05:12

at this event no but speaking of the

05:14

advertising for the event one of the

05:16

most insane parts of this whole story is

05:18

that this company that made this event

05:21

House of Illuminati apparently used

05:23

exclusively AI generated images to

05:26

advertise this event surprisingly the

05:28

website is still up up so you can go and

05:30

check it out for yourself welcome to

05:32

Wily's chocolate experience dive into

05:34

the Whimsical of Wily's chocolate

05:36

experience exclamation point comma so

05:39

you've got images like this which at

05:41

first look like some kind of fun Candy

05:43

Land but then the closer you look it

05:45

doesn't really make any sense like what

05:46

the [ __ ] is this thing is that supposed

05:48

to be a bunny who the hell is that I

05:50

don't like the looks of these things but

05:52

then you get images like this

05:53

advertising the Twilight tunnel which

05:55

are so clearly AI generated it makes you

05:58

wonder if the whole of event was being

06:00

run by an AI because how could a human

06:02

not notice that there are so many typos

06:05

in all of these images you got dim tight

06:08

detractions Ural featuring dejection and

06:11

sde then you've got uring entertainment

06:14

which of course includes cat gatting

06:16

Cary tons and a padise of sweet tee and

06:19

on top of the website being seemingly

06:21

designed by AI apparently all of the

06:23

actor's lines were too which we know

06:25

thanks to this video posted by the actor

06:28

who played Willy Wonka going to be

06:29

poking a little bit of fun at the event

06:31

but I wanted to say before I start that

06:33

I feel for anyone who bought tickets to

06:35

this people who are expecting a magical

06:38

chocolate experience people who were

06:39

unfortunately captured by the unknown we

06:41

hope you are found soon so the first red

06:43

flag for me was when I was cast as wi

06:46

willly Wonka um anyone who looks at me

06:48

and thinks Wily Wonka and not Umpa

06:50

lumper is out of their mind I give off

06:52

major Umpa lumper energy I got cast as

06:55

the part on the Thursday um and was told

06:58

that I needed to learn the script for

07:00

the Friday so I said no problem send it

07:02

over the script was 15

07:05

pages monologue pretty much of AI

07:09

generated gibberish you know what I'm

07:12

kind of curious about if the script was

07:14

AI generated where did the unknown come

07:18

from did the event organizers just ask

07:21

chat GPT to generate a script about

07:23

willly Wonka's chocolate factory and it

07:26

just threw that [ __ ] in cuz that's

07:28

terrifying ch he was like hm planning an

07:31

event for kids huh I know just the thing

07:34

to add don't worry I'm great with kids

07:35

so I'll give you one of the lines from

07:37

the script uh I'm not going to do the

07:39

Willy Wonka voice because I think I've

07:41

embarrassed myself enough but one of my

07:43

favorite lines was there is a man who

07:45

lives here his name is not known so we

07:49

call him the unknown the

07:52

unknown is an evil chocolate

07:55

maker who lives in the

07:58

walls

08:00

what we were told on the uh experience

08:03

to hand out a jelly bean one Jelly Bean

08:07

uh per child and A4 of a cup of Tesco's

08:12

un brand lemonade one Jelly Bean all

08:15

that smoke the Oompa Loompa had to

08:17

endure and she was just back there

08:19

cranking out one Jelly Bean maybe the

08:22

unknown was introduced as some way to

08:24

canonically explain why there was no

08:26

chocolate at the event sorry kids

08:28

there's no chocolate here today an evil

08:30

chocolate maker showed up and he shot

08:32

the Oompa loomas they're dead now so one

08:35

of the Oompa Loompas from the event also

08:37

posted a Tik Tok kind of poking fun at

08:39

the whole experience but the one actor

08:42

we haven't heard from yet is the one

08:44

that we all obviously want to talk to

08:47

the unknown unknown we need to know your

08:50

story what was your inspiration for your

08:52

performance how did you get into

08:54

character the unknown must have had the

08:56

worst time of any of the actors because

08:58

like you got hired to do a performance

09:00

of wily Wonka and you got cast as a

09:04

character that's not in Wily Wonka just

09:06

like an evil spirit that lives in

09:08

mirrors and then your job for an entire

09:11

day is to scare and confuse unsuspecting

09:14

children who have no clue what they're

09:17

in for every time a kid came around that

09:19

corner you just know the unknown was

09:22

like God damn it I got to traumatize

09:24

another kid the Oompa Loompa from the

09:26

famous photo ended up doing an interview

09:28

with vulture where she describes the

09:30

moment that children saw her for the

09:32

first time and it is very sad tell me

09:35

about the moment as the kids started

09:36

coming in did you see the Innocents

09:38

leave their eyes they were quite upset I

09:40

think they were confused but it was more

09:42

the parents I just looked at them and I

09:44

think they must have known when they

09:45

looked at me an older couple said to me

09:48

I really really hope you get paid well

09:50

for this this sounds like she's

09:51

describing people witnessing the

09:52

wreckage of a tsunami or something it's

09:54

crazy each individual person that laid

09:57

eyes on her had to take a second to

09:59

mourn when you say walk through how long

10:01

are we talking here to walk through this

10:03

event I'm telling you this would have

10:04

taken about 2 minutes I've never

10:06

experienced anything like this in my

10:07

life dude honestly that's kind of smart

10:09

cuz like 2 minutes isn't even long

10:11

enough to process like the first stages

10:14

of grief you're getting these people in

10:16

and out before they can even realize

10:18

they got scammed you know they don't

10:19

even know what the [ __ ] just happened

10:21

after the police were called people

10:23

started getting refunded the story blew

10:25

up the director of the company who put

10:27

on this event did eventually apolog oliz

10:29

I'm really shocked that the event had

10:31

fallen short of the expectations of

10:33

people on paper yeah dude on paper the

10:35

event was awesome no chocolate abandoned

10:37

warehouse Smokey Oompa just like the

10:40

movie there was every intention to hold

10:41

the event from the pictures despite not

10:43

being the best light hopefully you'll be

10:45

able to see that there was every

10:46

intention to hold the event no we know

10:48

you were planning on holding the event

10:50

that's kind of the problem I think a lot

10:52

of people wish you didn't unfortunately

10:54

there were unforeseen circumstances and

10:56

the event didn't come to life he's like

10:58

we were not expecting ing that evil

10:59

chocolate maker to show up the unknown

11:02

ruined the event these issues were

11:04

technological in

11:07

nature H we had ordered a holographic

11:10

paper that didn't arrive on time the

11:12

holographic technology in itself is

11:15

absolutely fabulous technology and

11:17

unfortunately there was a delay in

11:20

postage holographic paper no I don't

11:24

think that was the problem with the

11:26
