Bedridden for 20 years making his family work while he lies there doing nothing, Charlie's mom worked numerous jobs to feed the family and as soon as Charlie finds the golden ticket and gets a free ride to the factory Grandpa Joe miraculously has no muscle atrophy or bed sores from crapping and pissing himself and does a full dance number.
He should have been brought to trial at Nuremberg for crimes against the state.
I’m not sure what bothers me more....Grandpa Joe being a lazy ass or the four very senior citizens in the bed together. Maybe Gpa Joe fought off muscle atrophy by being active when the lights went down. :)
shareGrandpa Joe or Don Joe as the 3 old bastards who shared his bed had many secrets....the appropriation of that chocolate bar being one. Imagine the conversation after he gave the bar to Charlie.
Grandpa George: 'Hey Joe, where did you get that bar from'?
Joe fixes him with an icy stare.
Grandpa George: 'I'm sorry Don Joe, I meant no disrespect'.
The bastard had no business going to that chocolate factory. It should have been Charlies mother who accompanied him.
As much as I'd like to comment on your salient point about Don Joe, I can't get the thought out of my mind what that bed must have smelled like. I mean, did any of them even get out of that bed at all? For any reason?
I'm thinking fermented skunk pickled in urine.

He didn't have any morals. He spent that money he found on chocolate. That money could have made enough cabbage stew to last a month

That's exactly what Grandpa Joe would've done. He said he was going to give it to Slugworth, but Charlie gave it back. That's why I love Gene Wilder just letting him have at the end. You should watch the Honest Trailers on it. It's spot on.
shareThat's guilt for you. Also, the fact that he'd followed his useless Grandpa Joes advice and it got him noting but trouble, so giving the gobstopper back was a no-brainer.

shareBeing on welfare is shameful is some places, and totally normal and inconspicuous in others. Millions of people in England lived like this and felt entitled to the doll even though they were capable of working until Thatcher came along and 'ruined' the country as those same people would claim.
shareThat he showed he didn't need n physical rehab confirms that grandpa joe was just lazy
If he had actualy been bedridden his muscles would have deteriorated into nothing and no song and dance would have restored them in time for the factory tour,he musthave beenetig ou to of bed and exercising
He could have helped around the house at any time
