About

Oompa Loompas Celebrating refers to a series of jokes about the macabre response to children being hurt or tortured in the children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its various film adaptations. In these works, as a child is ironically harmed by their desire for candy, the Oompa Loompas dance and sing about the child's punishment.

Origin

On January 17th, 1964, the children's book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl was published. In the book, the characters known as the Oompa Loompas, who make the candy in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, sing after each child on a tour of the factory is punished. In 1971, the first film adaptation of the book was released. The film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory featured a number of musical numbers of the Oompa Loompas dancing and celebrating the children's demise (example below).[1]

On April 18th, 2018, Twitter[6] user @muyrando tweeted, "*job interview* Wonka: Any questions? Oompa Loompa: So we just go out and start singing whenever a kid dies?" The tweet received more than 18,000 retweets and 68,000 likes in less than one year (shown below).

Spread
