* RAT (Reject All Tobacco) did an anti-smoking PSA in stop motion animation where a sinister Wonka-like figure tries to entice children into taking candy-flavored cigarettes, gloating that he runs a cigarette faxtory instead of a candy factory when a girl on the tour calls him out. The Oompa-Loompa stand-ins, weirdly enough, openly sing about how their products are deadly.

* The 36th issue of the comic book continuation of ''ComicBook/InvaderZimOni'' revolved around Zim exploring an abandoned candy factory owned by a Willy Wonka pastiche named Doolan Dilby.

* The Play By Mail Games comic strip ads in ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' once ran a story entitled "Gamer Kids And The PBM Factory" ("[[SelfDeprecation It's our cheesiest comic yet!]]"). A chessmaster, a videogamer, a D&D player and an MMO player (each representing a different aspect of gaming: strategy, action, rules, and social interaction, respectively) are taken on a tour of PBM by a talking envelope in a purple top hat. [[AbortedArc Abandoned]] after two strips, supposedly because the claim that they sorted their letters via waterfall was untrue.

* On February 24th 2024, Glasgow was "blessed" with "Theater/WillysChocolateExperience" by the House of Illuminati, an event that was so slapped together and poorly executed that it went viral all over the internet for its incompetence.

* An episode of ''Series/MaxAndPaddysRoadToNowhere'' has Paddy getting a job in a promo called ''Willy Walker's Chocolate Factory''. He arrives to work to find a load of muscular black men in top hats. Paddy's limping the next time we see him.

* The ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' episode "[[Recap/FuturamaS1E13FryAndTheSlurmFactory Fry and the Slurm Factory]]" has Fry winning a visit to the factory that makes Slurm, his favorite soda (and party with the mascot, Slurms MacKenzie.) What follows is a boat ride in a bright green soda river, an eccentric tour guide named Glermo, and a troupe of little orange men named Grunka-Lunkas that everyone hates.

** The ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' example above throws in a ''Film/SoylentGreen'' reference too.
--->'''Fry:''' What if the secret ingredient is... ''people?''\\
'''Leela:''' Oh, there's already a soda like that. Soylent Cola.\\
'''Fry:''' Oh, how is it?\\
'''Leela:''' It varies [[BlackComedy from person to person.]]

* The ''{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}'' episode "[[Recap/FuturamaS1E13FryAndTheSlurmFactory Fry and the Slurm Factory]]" plays around with the idea and produces a little twist for the plot. Possibly the TropeCodifier for long-form parodies.
-->'''Professor:''' Who are those horrible orange creatures over there?\\
'''Glermo:''' Why those are the Grunka-Lunkas. They work here in the Slurm factory.\\
'''Professor:''' Tell them I hate them.

* [=ASBusinessMagnet=]'s ''[[FanFic/ITSMYLIFEExpandedUniverse Post-SCrash Session 3: Spectators of the Host]]'' features Violet Beauregarde as an adult and the CEO of "Beauregarde Chewing Gum Industry". She runs a Wonka-esque tour, no matter for the fact that she has already decided on a heir. Wonka himself hears of it, and invites the other original Golden Ticket winners as well. HilarityEnsues.

** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E8SweetsAndSourMarge Sweets and Sour Marge]]", Marge visits a company to complain about the amounts of sugar in their products. Homer asks if there were any Oompa-Loompas in there. She admits she saw one. Later on, Homer agrees to do something for the factory's owner. Part of the agreement includes getting to see an Oompa-Loompa, so Homer and the viewers actually see one this time.

* ''Literature/BarryTrotter'' is friends with a Charlie who had to give up the chocolate factory after developing lactose intolerance and now runs a bookstore. Though he did have a successful book and movie based on his adventure.

* When ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' and friends tried to get Buster Baxter to read an entire book for the first time ever, one of the books selected is "Sam and the Sandwich Factory", with Buster playing the role of Sam. Sam had broken his teeth when he found the Golden Sandwich by biting it, and therefore couldn't accept the owner's prize of sandwiches; he asks if there's a soup factory around.

* ''Film/EpicMovie'' was first to pastiche the 2005 movie specifically, and by using Fergie's "Fergalicious" in a Willy Wonka context ended up spoofing the music video for that song too. Such NarrowParody is par for the course with Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg, of course.
* In ''Film/ThorRagnarok'', Thor's introduction to Sakaar is a direct parody of the 1971 film's boat ride as he is strapped to a chair and travels down a psychedelic tunnel of colorful lights and imagery informing him of his new role on Sakaar. On top of this, ''the actual main title music from the film'' is serving as the underscore. As it continues, the ride becomes more and more visually frantic -- Thor even starts shrieking like Wonka does in response -- until there's an abrupt SmashCut and he finds himself in the Grandmaster's throne room.

* The adult-oriented [[InteractiveFiction Twine game]] ''Weeb's Wonka Game'' stars near-expies of the original main characters along with the Oompa Loompas and Willy Wonka himself, going on a tour of the famous chocolate factory: Hiro (a much meeker and Asian Augustus Gloop), Victoria (a grown-up Veruca Salt), Caleb (a much more laid-back Mike Teevee who's hopelessly addicted to weed rather than television), Hannah (a social media influencer version of Violet Beauregarde), and Tori (a health nut who's the only one not based on any of the original winners). You, the player, is the [[GenderInclusiveWriting gender-neutral]] "Charlie" who can be quite willing to break the rules and get yourself (and/or ''especially'' others) into trouble should you choose to go down such routes.

Since the late [[TheNineties 1990s]] it's been almost mandatory that an animated show that stays on air long enough will have a ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' parody episode. Such parodies usually explicitly mimic the 1971 adaptation ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'', owing to its memorable and easily repurposed musical numbers and the idiosyncracies of Creator/GeneWilder's [[TheWonka Willy Wonka]]. Beyond out-and-out retellings of the storyline, spoofs of specific scenes and other shorter-form parodies are popular in all media.
