Movie thought of the day. Great movie, but this scene with 4 olds sharing a bed always left a bad taste.

Whenever someone in my household is being lazy and won't get out of bed or on the couch we call them "Grandpa Joe." Or if we're beat tired I'll say "I'm going to go home and Grandpa Joe it up"

Per the Roald Dahl wiki, "Joe served in WWII in 1941, earning the Navy Cross Medal during his service. It is possible he injured his leg during a battle, which may have caused his bed-ridden state. After the war, he became bed-ridden and vowed to never leave his bed."

So he's clearly suffering from some level of PTSD that left him bedridden, and the Buckets' relative poverty combined with the poor understanding of PTSD in the post-war era left him unable to get the help needed to correct the issue. Only when the family has the incredibly unlikely good fortune brought on by Charlie finding the Golden Ticket is he able to bring himself to face the world again.
