History Recap / WanderOverYonderS2E16TheLegendTheBadNeighbors

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Invoked, as Hater and Awesome have both run away to hide on Suburbicon IV in fear of her. Justified, because Dominator is proven to be a lava-powered [[spoiler: and now, ice-powered, Thanks Peepers]] planet-destroying villain.

* ActuallyIAmHim: Wander is "The Hero" that the children are describing, but only Melodie's little sister Angela seems to figure this out.

* OverlyLongGag: Wander farting on Major Threat during Jamie's story.

* {{Animesque}}: Jamie's story is told in this style.
* ArtShift: One for each child's story. Hank's is done in childish scribbles on lined paper, David's is done in a loudly-colored comic-book style, Jamie's is a pastiche of early anime, and Melodie's is a simple children's-book illustration style.

** Jamie's story seems to be a retelling of the episode "The Party Animal".
** One of the stories is about how Wander defeated Major Threat from "The Good Bad Guy".
** The "mustard or mayo" bit is used in David's story, only to be used as weapons by Wander to squirt all over Major Threat.

* HumongousMecha: Jamie's story has Sylvia envisioned as a ''Anime/{{Gigantor}}-like'' mecha.

* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: Parodied when Jamie imagines the Hero of Legend as controlling a giant robot named Silver 7.

* MultipleHeadCase: Two of the kids, David and Hank, are conjoined PolarOppositeTwins.

* OverlyLongGag: Wander farting on Major Threat during David's story.

* RightForTheWrongReasons: Jamie describes Wander accurately as an AllLovingHero; she says it's because Wander relies on "Silver 7" to fight the bad guys.

* TotallyRadical: David's story imagines Wander as an edgy, loudly-colored, guitar-surfing punk who defeated Major Threat by teasing and humiliating him.

* ArtShift: One for each child's story. Hank's is done in childish scribbles on lined paper, David's is done in a loudly-colored comic-book style, Jamie's is a pastiche of early anime, and Crystal's is a simple children's-book illustration style.

* CannotSpitItOut

* ArtShift: One for each child's story.

** The first story is a retelling of the very first episode of ''Wander Over Yonder'', "The Greatest".

** The "Silver 7" sequence is a send-up of ''Anime/{{Gigantor}}''.
* TakeThatAudience: Melodie's story is a parody of the wild fandom speculation regarding Wander's back-story (especially taking the piss out of the popular "Star Nomad" fanon and the idea that Wander is secretly related to one or more of the villains).

* EveryoneIsRelated: Melodie's very fanfic of a story has Hater revealed as Wander's father whom he accidentally corrupted and Dominator as Wander's long lost sister who has sworn revenge against him. Cut to much later of her very long story, Emperor Awesome is Wander's half brother, the Evil Sandwich is his cousin, and it seemed that she was about to mention another but she's cut off by Hank. Suffice to say, a very exhausted Wander quietly shakes his head in denial when Sylvia looks at him in response to this absurd mess.
