People loved Karen Gillan’s response to the calamitous Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience
There’s only one story in town this week – well, two, but we’re not here to talk about Kate Middleton – it’s that most unfortunate Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience which, it’s fair to say, didn’t entirely live up to visitors’ expectations.
More and more photos and footage are being shared of the Wonka experience in Glasgow and it’s making me howl louder every time. Not even a full cup of lemonade. pic.twitter.com/nwc9yd9vWT

So many moments went viral, whether it was this photo.
This photo from the Willy wonka experience is single handedly the photo of the year. I know it’s only February but close the vote there’s no topping this. Please find this woman she needs to be interviewed ASAP pic.twitter.com/97wsodLLpQ

Or this video!
New details on the Willy Wonka Experience disaster
• Script was ’15 pages of AI-generated gibberish’
• Made up a villain called The Unknown — ‘an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls’
• Event had no chocolate — kids were given a single jelly bean & a cup of lemonade pic.twitter.com/kxs1RcKVC8

And amid all the responses today …
The thing that makes this so great is that it isn’t that they didn’t put in any effort, but that they put in the exact funniest amount of effort possible. https://t.co/hIecc7Rb5u

the funniest part of the willy wonka thing is that if it reopened this weekend it’d sell more tickets than it ever did

… we particularly enjoyed this one, from the great Karen Gillan, who we’re big fans of in everything she’s done from Doctor Who to Jumanji and all the Marvel stuff.
PLEASE CAST ME IN THIS.
(like a movie based on this story, not the actual thing. Actually, no, either is fine) https://t.co/xqN7bM9upN

Can only be a matter of time, right?

I just know that, like she did with Nebula, Karen would turn depressed meth Oompa Loompa into an incredibly dynamic character who is actually the heart and soul of the film. https://t.co/OEFcfyPady

But would you play the unknown or the sad Oompa Loompa? pic.twitter.com/vQol9zkO8h
