** When Charlie convinces Willy to reconcile with his father, they take the glass elevator to his home, which is inexplicably in the middle of a barren field covered in snow -- the entire house, exactly as it looked before. And when Wilbur answers, he asks if they have an ''appointment''. It's hard to tell if he actually gets clients out here and is still doing business, or is so strict and regimented that he asks on principal, but either way it's absurd and hilarious.

* When Mike points out that everything in the factory is seemingly pointless, it leads into another flashback with Mike's voice being replaced by Wilbur's as he unknowingly paraphrases the man. Seeing a little boy suddenly speak with the booming voice of Creator/ChristopherLee somehow ends up being hilarious.
