The iconic Oompa Loompa from the Glasgow ‘Willy Wonka experience’ is now on Cameo

ICYMI (in which case…how?), an event touted as an immersive "Willy Wonka experience" in Glasgow has been all over the news (and newsfeed) as of late thanks to its absolute absurdity. 

The experience, which allegedly advertised itself using all AI art, has captured the attention of millions online for just how terrible it turned out.

The internet ran with the whole thing, creating endless memes around the situation, and making somewhat stars of those involved with the project overnight. One of the breakouts from these memes has been the Oompa Loompa, whose forlorn photo you’ve no doubt seen posted all over your timeline.

And you better believe users were quick with the jokes:

In short, I think we can all agree:
