Passed 10 years after the movie. R.I.P Ed Brown. Legend.

[redwoodtrail]

And he smoked while they didn’t have enough to eat! Scoundrel! Lol

[GwynEllisHughes]

THANK YOU!!! that's always been my feeling about the character. I remember watched the film for the 1st time as a child. And couldn't get over the grandfather's actions. 😢

[LeCaptn]

I just realized how much Grandpa Joe looks like Albert Einstein

[tylernonenmacher]

[SomeBoredVato]

[AIvaroSantiago]

Homie had unfinished business with the employers that fired him 😂

[jimmyjam]

Jim rome has the best take on grandpa joe

[glenfullmer]

He represents people like Marx and Bernie Sanders. Useless unless there's other people's stuff for free.

RIP Ed Brown, you will be forever remembered 🕊️

The reason the grandparents were in the bed was because in the book the family decided that it was cheaper to keep them from risking injury and paying medical bills and have mother work.

[Everythingisgoingtobealright]

I never thought about this until about 10 years ago. As a kid it never occurred to me.

[dr.zoolamae]

😂 I say this every time I watch this movie 4 grown ups in the bed eating boiled cabbage 😅

[brianknowles]

Yeah ole lazy ass uncle Joe. I ve wondered about that 4person bed ever since I growed up.

[jgalaxi]

They were all severely depressed. It's not a joke. It's about a dream coming true to one kid that saves a whole family. Gene Wilder showed this in how everything was not what it seemed. They didnt get up bc it would have taken away from Charlie's dream to get them around. They were waiting on his dream and putting 100% hope in it. Faith is real

Willy wonka, someone was really taking the piss with that name. Lol

[diamondprincess]

Omg I never thought about it that deep 😂

[juniperhart]

That's not how disability works. You don’t see him home for the next week in agony.

[Spiklething]

Well he wasn’t the only one. There were four grandparents in that bed and I’m pretty sure they all would’ve been able to help Mrs Bucket more around the house
