* 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.

# A possibly surreal boat ride down a river is always taken (but Wonka's monologue in the darkness is usually
omitted).

** An episode predating "Wasted Talent" had a briefer and more blatant reference. Peter has a flashback to his trip to a chocolate factory, where he's accused of stealing candy -- and though he denies it, it's clear from his big, round, blue appearance that he stole the same gum that changed Violet into a giant blueberry. Incidentally, it's a direct steal of an identical cutaway gag in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic.''

* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'': Five golden diskettes for a trip to visit the NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Creator/StephenHawking in a machine factory. All the other four kids are insufferable brainiacs like Dexter, but he's not the one who gets the golden diskette - Dee-Dee is. Fortunately for him, each winner was allowed to take a guest with them. Easily the strangest parody piece yet.
-->'''Dexter''': Deedee! I'm confused...\\
'''Deedee''': Good!\\

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E22TrashOfTheTitans Trash of the titans]]" has Homer lead the town in a musical number, "The Garbage Man", that's a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to "The Candy Man".

* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryWillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory'' is a WholePlotReference to the 1971 film adaptation with Tom and Jerry added in. The end result was polarizing to say the least.

* ''[[WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded How Willy Wonka Should Have Ended]]'' pokes fun at the psychedelic boat trip.

* ''WebAnimation/{{Xploshi}}'': In a parody of the ''Creator/TimBurton'' remake of ''Film/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'', Willy Wonka needs a new successor after Charlie dies in a vat of boiling sugar. He meets the the new five kids at his factory...

* Episode 185 of ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' has Hijikata trying to get a golden ticket for a tour of a mayonnaise factory. He resorts to creating a new rule that every member of the Shinsengumi is required to use five bottles of mayonnaise in order to find one and does manage to do so, only to be horribly disappointed when the factory is completely ordinary, rather then mayonnaise-filled wonderland the TV commercial made it out to be.

* An early Website/CollegeHumor sketch parodied the Fizzy Lifting Drink scene from the 1971 film, showing what would've happened if Charlie and Grandpa Joe were unable to burp and kept floating up towards the giant fan. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulxMNlZ8WFw The result isn't pretty.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPYromrN7OI Another sketch]] parodying the film swaps out the eponymous chocolate factory with an [[UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh Apple]] factory, featuring golden "[[IProduct iTickets]]" hidden in iPhone boxes, UsefulNotes/SteveJobs as TheWonka, and Bill Gates in the Slugworth role, among other things.

* ''Webcomic/ComicRelief'' has Billy Blonka, a candymaker who acts as a clear reference to the original and 2005 movies...in a self-styled parody of ''Live-ActionTV/BreakingBad'', where he muscles in against competition, has his "Voompa-Boompas" punch out his enemies, and has [[KickTheDog stolen an invention Zero designed to create food to solve world hunger]]. The cast do visit the factory he runs, but with the intent to destroy it.

* The case Sweet Revenge in ''VideoGame/CriminalCase'' is this. The victim and suspects themselves even parody the titular characters.

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 Gene Wilder'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.

* The case Sweer Murder in ''VideoGame/CriminalCase'' is this. The victim and suspects themselves even parody the titular characters.

* Roleplay/TropersTheSeries, in season 7 episode 16, "Martin Mint-Chocolate-Chip and the Ice Cream Factory". Instead of just the main charcters, The [[UpToEleven entire town of Tropesburg]] gets tickets to tour the factory.

* ''Literature/ReadyPlayerOne'' is about the creator of TheMetaverse offering ownership of the internet to whoever finds a series of keys hidden within it. WordOfGod says the similarities to ''Charlie and The Chocolate Factory'' were deliberatebut with Wonka making video games instead of candy.

** "[[Recap/Trash of the Titans" has Homer lead the town in a musical number, "The Garbage Man", that's a SuspiciouslySimilarSong to "The Candy Man".

* The climax of the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "May the Best Stan Win" has Stan facing off with his future cyborg self in Hershey park, a candy-themed amusement park (based as much on the actual Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania as ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''). In a "tunnel of love"-style boat ride down a chocolate river, an Augustus Gloop {{expy}} (even named Augustus!) is knocked into the tide by the two Stans' battle to his mother's horror. At the end of the episode, he's seen going up a pipe as she cries for help, but is ignored by a Motown-style girl trio in candy costumes singing about the crazy things that happen in the park -- spoofing both the Oompa-Loompas and the Greek chorus of ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors''.
