I always assumed the yelling was an act in order to see if Charlie would turn against him out of spite. He's incredibly calm and happy once Charlie gives him the gobstopper. Maybe I'm giving it too much credit though.

I feel you are right... I feel like he does say "you passed" at the end. But doesn't he also not notice the gobstopper for several seconds? Seems if it was a real test he would be more expecting...

Maybe willy has to live in a land of chocolate magic to keep his barely controlled rage in check.
 
I saw Grandpa Joe at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
I remember that story.
