The trope is being informed by the title of the work pictured and not really the visuals, which look more like your average birthday party. The element of surprise seems to be missing—Replacement suggestion from Castle.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

The current looks like it's leaning heavily on the caption to get the full context across, for sure.

The Castle one is adequate, I think.

Suggestion is okay. He looks surprised enough.

The suggestion is good enough on its own.

Suggestion is solid. It has my support.

Suggestion is good by itself.

Suggestion alone doesn't work for me. It almost looks like he induces the shower of confetti by/for himself with the raised hand.

Crowner for the one-panel and two-panel version, then?

I think we can go ahead and call this one. 10's up and tagged; caption?
