Their budget was a cliff bar and a high five
@@dizo-jp2tdthat is a bot.
@@dizo-jp2td God hates bots
🤣
Considering how depressed that Oompa Loompa looked I’d probably minus the high five
@@boobyegg2135 A thumbs up and a half-hearted “break a leg! 😊” it is, then.
Apparently the girl in green hair was only there because she was promised 500 dollars for 2 days. She hasn't even received yet. I feel bad for her.
i hope she gets it. thats a lot of money
And she was so disappointed, trying to entertain kids still.
Despite the awful situation, she still did everything she could to not disappoint the children
I assume you mean £500 given this was in Scotland.
isn't this illegal to not pay them?
This feels like a real life, grown up version of one of those scams that Ed, Edd, and Eddy would do.
Yeah, but at least Ed, Edd, and Eddy would actually provide a semi-good service, like when they broke Johnny's radiator and fashioned a sauna out of it, and provided additional spa treatment courtesy of Ed. Like that is infinitely more effort than anything this scammer did. The actors were chill and kind though.
*😂😂😂😂😂 Ed boys!!!*
Jimmy and Johnny would definitely be scammed.
This feels like that time Mr. Krabs made Krabbyland
Nahhh 💀
I like how the Wonka dude and lab lady were super chill, meanwhile the Unknown guy is just fully in character with no restraint 💀
I'd love to be the Unknown for Halloween, he's basically like a little wizard guy with a mask :)
But I feel a more inspired, Willy Wonka-adjacent approach would be less likely to scare children, like Waluigi in a candy makers' outfit because is a friend and respects all children :)
-Wally Wanko-
it's hilariously fitting that with everything else being an absolute suffering disaster, the one person to stay in character was the villain
I mean at this point he's in a nightmare of a job, he might just let loose as well
😭😭😭😭😭
Why did the Unknown look like Death Eater from Harry Potter?
At some point the level of disappointment gives it enough emotional impact to be considered art.
OOOF THAT'S WILD

@@dizo-jp2tdAllah is the only God.
That was the premise of Banksy's Dismaland.
The depressed Oompa Loompa is what got me-
The fact she’s standing behind what looks like a meth lab kit really adds a lot too. 😂
@@Brianna-eo8nu”Charlie, we need to cook”

This whole situation is like a real-life Willy Wonka nightmare. Poor actors deserved better than this!
Hello
Begone BOT and your purchased likes!
quite literally nobody asked
BOT!!!
Why does thw oompa loompa look depressed and cooking some crystalline substance
*“Children in tears, families call police.”*
I can’t even describe how funny this is with the accompanying pictures…
real life truly is the best kind of comedy
"They were on a budget"
I eat the cotton candy from my walls
🎅🏿
A budget of what exactly? A fucking hotdog?
That has been embezzled.
I could do better
This feels like a liminal space because of how empty it is. I feel sorry for the poor people who paid $40 for this lol
*paid
They were promised so much and lied too. No doubt the organiser gonna blame the AI even though he supervised it and took the iteration he seemed fit without any corrections.
Yes
Yes

The funniest thing was apparently there was no chocolate in the entire event, not even for sale.
the unknown ate it all
"do not use ai to market everything and write scripts"
You would think this would be common sense, but we're gonna start seeing companies doing this in the next year
They're doing it for quite some time, it's just that they have a wee bit more tact, as in, don't literally pipe gpt directly to the presses without at least someone proofread it.
Most apology videos in the last year or so are AI written
@@Mordecrox
It’s also those AIs weren’t ruined, now it’s filled with trash 🗑
They already are
Bought a product at Walmart just to look at the box and realize something was wrong with the models hand. Quickly determined it was AI. What's sad is you know that it's unnecessary other than cutting someone (the model on the original product packaging) out of royalty checks.
Saw a stainless steel pot where the box is just an AI rendition of the pan itself, down to the writing stamped on its triple-layered bottom, they could have just taken a photo of the item itself, but chose to ask an early AI do draw a pan with a quality seal embossed on it. Looks like 2020 public AI output.
@@Dogeathotdog1Toys having some screwed up features isn't new, though.
We literally covered this as a case study of false advertising in my commerce class today 💀 this is unbelievably laughable
That's actually hilarious. props to the teacher
Just saw this exact comment in Charlie's video, I believe by someone else
Thats awesome
@erra42 are you aware that a class can hold up to 40 students, and commerce classes are all over different schools?
@@Teuwufel I meant exact same wording. I'm pretty sure either this or the one in Charlie's video is a bot
This legit feels like a Liminal space project 💀

@@dizo-jp2td god is dead, we killed him
this place is proof x)
It’s like a new backrooms level dropped in real life. Hell, it even has it’s own creepy entity with The Unknown!
@@dizo-jp2td
It doesn't seem like he does.
The look on the oompa loompa's face says it all. "Empty and devoid of emotion." The ai script sounds hilariously bad at least. Props to the actors for doing their best with what they had, and I'm glad everyone knew better than to blame them for this.
In a world of no imagination.
The actors tried their best.
In a world of ai generation
In a world of manipulation.
It’s not an oompa loompa… it’s a wonkidoodle.
Apparently that’s what they were referred to as.
Willy himself was not a Wonka, but a McDuff.
This reminds me of that episode of Spongebob where the kids wanted a fun summer experience but it was just a pile of trash...
Hell, I think Mr Krabs somehow put MORE effort into his ruse than THIS.
Yeah, and this guy didn't even have to see any burly men with lima beans...
Kraby land
"Nightmare Willy Wonka experience leaves children in tear" I mean... It's lore accurate at least.
At least William Wonka delivers his tears with reality-bending surrealism; childlike wonder; Candy; body horror; near-death experiences; and a song and dance.
This event delivered tears with gut-crushing mediocrity; the sinking feeling that you got scammed; a surprising lack of candy; overall depression; the painful evidence that late-stage capitalist systems profit from the trends set by the entertainment industry, the cheap, semi-decent labor provided by AI, the innocent, trusting nature of children and the parents that love them; and the Unknown.
At the very least, the Unknown fulfills body horror and reality-bending surrealism (somewhat).
YES 😂!
Not really, the original children got punished for being little shitheads, Wonka never planned to scare or violate them when he invited them to his factory.
@@Edagui97 And those punishments are action-induced consequences, where Willy do not have to do anything for them to set in motion.
Unknown character being introduced to children is the most funniest thing
I was having a shitty day earlier and now I’m just pissing myself laughing. Thanks LMC.
I love how he immediately instills fear in the poor kids while just trying to be his goofy self, hilarious
"He's in the walls... HE'S IN THE GODDAMN WALLS!!"
@@ArtificialEquestrian he’s just vibin
The Unknown feels so ridiculous that I can't help but laugh. He is extremely out of place and rather generic, but I think that's why it's so funny.
The unknown is one of my favorite parts of Willy Wonka! I’m surprised forgot when he popped out of the walls and said “It’s unknowning time!!”
And then unknowed all the place
I remember seeing 850 total tickets purchased, at 35 pounds, approximately $44. So they must've had about $36k to work with; they could've potentially spent all of that and relied on souvenir or candy sales for profit. Not exactly the budget for an Omegamart level experience, but certainly enough to do more than this. This all reads as though the event organizer was in debt, used the ticket revenues to pay that debt, and thought he could put together a bare minimum "you can't sue me" event with what was left. They've promised refunds, but seeing as the actors haven't been paid yet and they spent maybe $500 on decorations, I don't think they have that money on hand.
Another compliment to the actors: The Wonka actor interviewed claimed that the day of the event, all the actors had a huddle and said "we probably aren't getting paid for this but let's try our best to give the kids a fun time".
@@slyisdanameand so he should be publicly defamed, or at least shunned...
The most logical conclusion! And I thought it's just pure incompetence (someone said the guy is a dropshipper agent) or as a failed scammer.
I'm glad both that the actors gave it their damnedest and that the people who took their kids to this shockfest understood the actors weren't to blame.
@@dizo-jp2tdI love satan😈😈👹👹👹👹👹👹
I hope the two “hired” actors get a role in a wonka movie :D
Honestly, at the very least, they may have a rather compelling/sympathetic story to show other potential venues how dedicated they are. Like I'd hire someone who still committed to the role and attempt to entertain children, despite terrible management. Imagine what they could do in a setting with proper funds/preparation/proof of concept..
Billy Coull: the main responsible for this shit show
Yeah props to them, if that was done to me I would've been super embarrassed and left. Which isn't fair to the kids, but I am a coward.
They had to endure a full day of that embarrassment.
I really hope the actors recover well from this "experience"
@@yasien444that is a bot, an ad.
Don't worry, Disney will snap them all up.
Don't worry they killed themselves
I hope the people who paid for this shit recover too
i cant tell if this is a joke or not, guess im too old now xD
In an alternate universe, Charlie Buckett decides to work together with his chemistry teacher: Walter White, after learning his father was fired from his job. Walter knows the chemistry, and Charlie the business, so they both start making use of the local candy factories and stores in order to distribute their product, which is a new type of crystalized sugar with blue colorant. However, their sudden sucess quickly earns them the attention of the infamous Chocolate Cartel, an evil chocolate empire that shall try to run Charlie and Walter out of business by any means necessary.
Starring:
Mike Teevee as Tuco Salamanca.
Violet Beauregarde as Jane Margolis.
Veruca Salt as Lydia Rodarte-Quayle.
Augustus Goop as Huell.
Either Walter or Charlie have to end up being The Unknown 😂
I laughed WAY too hard at this
This is straight out of some cartoon where the 2-5 main characters are kids and they need money for either a new thing or to give to somebody who they had broke his car / house window, and this is the second or third plan they are coming out with. Needless to say in the end everything collapses and people get their money back
Another comment said Ed, Eddie and Eddie, and I think that description is good, but I wish the scammer would get their comeuppance.
I feel so bad for the actors who got roped into and forced to try and salvage this ai-generated liminal fever-dream for the parents and kids who visited. I hope there’s an official investigation into the company behind this. It just reeks of a scam or money laundering scheme. Or at the very least, some major corporate incompetence.
@@dizo-jp2tdcool.
Not even a corporation. It was just 1 guy behind it all.
Not money laundering, just a quick cash grab scam.
@@gbdornls they refunded all the tickets, but they didn't pay the actors
the scammer said not did that@@tonnynguyen390
its actually comedic how they just decided to add a new character for no reason and the fact that he lives in the walls is absolutely hilarious
He's not a new character but an original from the books. But people and kids who don't know and only watched the movies of course found him terrifying 😅
@@MollyHJohns great fact I just assumed he was completely made up because of how comedically bad they made it
@@MollyHJohns Really? I don't remember him from the books.
@@MollyHJohnswait, the bio of the Unknown was also the same? An evil chocolate maker that lives inside the walls? That would be just the cherry on too of this weird thing, that they decided to bring this lore-accurate spook from the source material to that dingy place and make the whole thing be more miserable for the intended target audience.
Im behind ur walls rn, like fr
I find it so ironic that AI did the heavy lifting for what was supposed to be “a world of pure imagination”.
The dude who put this together really watched the Krabby Land episode from SpongeBob, and said “I’m gonna do that in real life”

Ill be honest, its the breaking of character at "The Unknown is an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls" that really ties it all together.

He's in the goddamn walls!!!
That guy playing the Unknown really gave it his all
He did so well too, would've been great in a haunted house
Now watch as someone online makes him into a decent interesting character that somehow works with the original novels
Because he's the only one wearing a mask so no one knows he was ever anything to do with it

It truly fascinates me that people saw the advertisements and the website and didn't immediately think "Something is weird with this."
Prob the ones who notice it, didn't wanted to think a lot about it and just ignored it and didn't buy it
The funniest part is either the Oompa Loompa actor who looks like they are depressed and cooking meth or the fact that the wall paper they put up didn’t even fit the walls
1:06 he actually showed emotions
@@dizo-jp2tdbot
I assume the budget cuts were because Willy Wonka spent too much on his chocolate funding
Or Colombian sugar
He spent it all on "sugar cane"
@@DOCTORRGLASS lmao
If you’ve not seen the clips of him, do so. He’s definitely blew it all on gear.

okay:
1. this is not as bad as fyre festival but god damn this is bad
2. people with a handle related to illuminati seem to having a tough time recently, couldn't be happier for them
3. god bless the actors and the kind souls who didn't take it out on them, this reassures my faith in humanity
0:54 reference to breaking bad 👤⁉️
Damn, no wonder Willy Wonka was so weird, he had to deal with the man in his walls 1:10
Well, it was established at the beginning of the story that the whole reason he hid himself away from the world was that people kept infiltrating his factory and stealing his ideas.
Imagine what could've happened if the golden ticket winners had been tasting Wonka's lickable wallpaper and the Unknown popped out.
Something I never thought I could ever hear
@@JRS06 fun idea for a horror game/atraction, make a healing/free candy that you need to use, make it a safe point, than subvert it
Well, you can say that the event was just Pure Imagination!
My abs hurt from laughing
What makes this so disappointing is that in theory a Willy Wonka experience should be the most colourful, whimsy-packed thing you've ever seen
"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of Osha violations."
It'll also be a world of shitty imitation.

I don't know what's more sad. This event, or the fact that 850 people looked at that advertising and said, "yeah that looks legit"
boomers gonna boom. They will believe literally anything on the internet except for science.
ai generated images like this are still very new, of course older people arent gonna be able to tell that its ai generated when theyve probably never seen an ai generated image before
It probably helps that Willy Wonka is already associated with surreal imagery and nonsense words.
@@ketaminepoptarts ai or not, these are clearly not real photos
@@windy8544What got me is that 90% of the words in this “advertisement” are horribly misspelled 😭
I'd imagine I'm not the first to suggest this, but if the new Wonka film gets a sequel it should have an actually cool version of the unknown cos a crazy evil chocolate maker running around the factory without permission fucking shit up sounds awesome
and halfway through the movie he becomes his final form- a chocolate golem

1:29 "We didn't take any abuse but we gave abuse to the people running it" lmfao love it ^^
Kind of nice that those who got grifted didn't take it out on the actors in character (I don't have much faith in humanity..)
this looks like the type of scam someone would make in 2010, except there wouldn't be any AI involved
I just can’t imagine auditioning for a role here as a diehard Willy Wonka fan, giving it your best shot, and having the director say “You’d be PERFECT for The Unknown!” That has to be such a weird experience.
1:12 its quite rare for LIMC to get a slight silly chuckle you know. so props to the host for making him chuckle

*Come to the Willy Wonka Experience, a world of encherining entertainment!*
We got:
Catgacating!
Live performances!
Cartchy tuns!
Exarserdray lollipops!
And of course, a pasadise of sweet teats!
they didn't actually have live performances. however, they do have live perforɾmances
I'm just puzzled what exactly is exarserdray. I want to know what it represents in an actual word because the others are actually understandable; catgacating is captivating, for example.
Truly a Covfefe moment imo.
I recall one time when my family and I went down to a fun little Christmas event called Krist Kindelmart. The people singing karaoke at the back were being streamed live to the speakers all around the event, and as they were volunteers, the quality was questionable to say the least. A cup of hot chocolate was nine dollars. The row of Porta-Potties along the side drained directly into the ditch, and as such allowed the reek to waft over the whole thing. Overall it was a memorably disastrous experience - we still call it Krist Kindelfart in honor of the horror.
This whole story plays out like a scrapped get-rich-quick plot from Trailer Park Boys. I love it.
1:43 ‘a pasadise of sweet teats’ 💀
2:12 It looks like a Meth lab.
This is literally like when Greg and Rowley tried to make a haunted house for halloween. It just sucks and this guy had no clue what he was doing.
I hope they make "The Unknown" canon in the next remake...
“We know him as the Unknown” lmao, and just as dead by daylight releases a new killer named the exact same thing
The Unknown is an original character from one of the books actually. So only reader fans know of him.
That looks like a pasadise of sweet teats! I can't wait for Catchy tun, and exarserdray lollipops!
This instantly reminded me of that one spongebob episode where Mr. Crabs is hyping up a bunch of kids about an amusement park, advertising it pretty well, then for it to be only made of a bunch of trash.
The "oompa Loompa" and the unknown are the best thing of that scam show
The Fact They Used AI Is Stupid
Ai has its strengths but this whole debacle is one of many examples of why it can’t (and shouldn’t) do everything. Especially when it comes to art and entertainment.
Not only is it just lazy but it clearly didn’t come out right at all. The pics and text on the website should’ve, at best, been placeholders until actual event photos and human written blurbs were made.
On the flip side, I have to weirdly admire the company’s dedication to keeping the bit in the script about the man in the walls. They hired a guy and everything. If only they put that much effort into the rest of the experience… 😂
Such a daring statement
Brah, hard to blame AI on this one.
The only difference it made is the guy didn't have to pay 40 bucks for an artist to draw "concept art" or spend a bit of money on stock images lol
I feel AI isn't the issue... those were obviously fake arts and not what people would have realistically expected...
If they made the set look good, none of this would have been an issue....
What's stupid is that they couldn't create a place with tons of candy and yet actually tried this project...
@@NoFlutalking about the shitty script not the the art.
I’m Scottish and this is something I would’ve expected the event to look like, I’m just more surprised it ever made the news, internationally.
Then again, I heard it costed near aboot 40 quid - and given we’re in a living crisis - I’d be fuming too.
I hope a bigger company does the same thing except with no ai generated stuff and making it an actual fun place that isn't depressing, boring, and has a budget of 25 cents
The amount of untapped potential is staggering. Having a fully interactive tour of the Wonka factory and seeing all the famous sights from all three films and the books (perhaps with elements of Great Glass Elevator included) would make for an amazing experience well worth paying for.
@@JRS06 this kind of event scale need an actual physical theme park and professional organisers and a huge enough company to create as a permanent feature tbh.
Even better if they call up those actors to play a couple of the characters so they can have at what it could've been as well.
@@JRS06 you really don't even need to do that much to impress children. Their imagination fills in a lot of blanks. The money 'House of Illuminati' got from ticket sales would be enough to create something truly cool in that space.
you know it's bad when LIMC is laughing while reading what people said
1:48 please tell me "Encherining Entertainment" is a real picture they posted
It actually is.
“a pasadise of sweet teats” is kinda crazy ngl
This is not something I expected to leave the scope of Glasgow 😂
Each day Mr Crabs greed becomes less and less exaggerated.
Went to something similar as a kid. It was a “Candyland Adventure” at a park for $15. Got like three pieces of candy walking on a trail that had three people on it in costume and several painted plywood boards of the characters that didn’t get actors.
1:43 I just want everyone to take a big whiff of this image.
I want me some sweet teats!
Bro mrbeast did even better job
Can't wait to see an Internet Historian video about this in 5 years!
“In the age where everything is recorded and posted online for everyone to see”
Everything except definitive proof of aliens, cryptids, ghosts etc.
"Come with me, and you'll be, in a world of pure procrastination."
Was expecting just an account of the memes, but the facts about the performers on site were genuinely insightful. Great coverage.
You can hear the kids starting to cry when the Unknown shows up. How was any of this real? Why did anyone let it happen?
I was in Scotland last week when this went down and I am fuming that I did not know this was a thing as I only learnt about this a couple of days ago, and I definitely would've made the trek with my friends there.
The minnesota state fair had a better candy exhibit, and that was *educational* lmfao
Their budget was a cliff bar and a high five wanna know more about YTTOKENS too man
the companies name being "Illuminate" makes this funnier
This is like that one SpongeBob episode where Mr Krabs opens up Krabby Land
1:44 “Encherning Entertainment”
I’m sorry, this fucking got me
1:06 the fact that this made LIMC laugh lmao
The depressed oompa loompa behind what i assume meth lab kit 😂
"Mr. Wonka we need to cook" 😂
This is just the closest we'll get to a real life Krabby Land.
1:45 the text on the image is just spectacular.
I missed when AI would just create random non sense that no one would believe was written by a real person. I'm glad to know it never left.
Me too.
Props for the actors who did their best to make this less horrible, but dang that was embarrassingly dissapointing
To add more depth to this story, apparently the Wonka actor (Paul) groomed a 15 year old girl when he was a teacher, got with her when she was 16 and stayed with her for 5 years…..
