* SurprisinglyMundaneReason: When Mike Teeve and Charlie are the only children left on the tour of the chocolate factory, Wonka takes them to the Television Room, where he showcases his latest invention, and to demonstrate how it works, several oompa-loompas place an oversized chocolate bar, as in weighing dozens of pounds and with a surface area of several square feet onto a machine that zaps it. The chocolate bar then travels across as a tv signal, and reappears in a nearby television, and when Charlie reaches into it at the insistence of Wonka, he picks up a normal chocolate bar and eats it. Wonka says that this new invention will allow people to eat his chocolate without stepping outside their home and going to a store. Mike then [[ReedRichardsIsUseless calls Wonka an "idiot"]] for his MundaneUtility for [[{{Teleportation}} a matter teleporter]], and jumps inside the machine to showcase the true potential of such an invention. After Mike comes out the telvision just [[IncredibleShrinkingMan a few inches tall]], he and his dad ask Wonka to just put him in the other way so he'll recover his size, only for Wonka to reveal "[[ThereIsNoCure there is no other way]]".

* BelatedChildDiscipline: At the end, as the other visiting children and their parents are walking out of the chocolate factory, [[SpoiledBrat Veruca]], who is covered in trash after being fished out of the garbage chute, spots Wonka flying Charlie and Grandpa Joe in his glass elevator, so she asks her father to get her a flying glass elevator like the one Wonka has. Mr. Salt, who is also covered in garbage, and [[PushoverParents normally gives Veruca what she wants]], bluntly responds that the ''only'' thing she'll be getting soon as they get back home is a bath. Veruca looks at him smiling, thinking he was just kidding (or that he would get her the elevator after the bath), and Mr. Salt Responds with [[TranquilFury a silent]] DeathGlare. Veruca stops smiling and stoically continues walking out of the factory with her father.

Crosswicking from Suspiciously Prescient Planning
* SuspiciouslyPrescientPlanning: Unlike [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory the original film]], it's heavily implied that Willy Wonka either orchestrated the horrible fates of the first four children on the tour of his factory or, at the very least, correctly predicted what the kids would do and didn't take any action to stop it. For example, the Oompa-Loompas have intricately choreographed and well-rehearsed song and dance numbers for each child and what happened to them, and while Wonka tries to pass it off as simple improvisation, it's clear that he's lying (as Mr. Salt [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]], "I must say--that all seemed rather ''rehearsed''"). In another example, Wonka has giant and elaborate paintings of Mr. and Mrs. Salt ready to toss down the garbage chute when SpoiledBrat Veruca is thrown into it--how could he have possibly known they'd be needed in that room at that time unless he was planning it?
