I would say it wasn't quite a Curb-Stomp Battle between Wander and Jones. He had Jones almost caged for a minute there before Jones rallied. And for a second during the Beam-O-War Wander's banjo beam was almost defeating the Accordion Beam. Then Jones rallied again. This also kind of makes O.O.C. Is Serious Business a poor fit, because Wander is a lover, not a fighter, and that's why he lost in the end.
It definitely is not Power Makes Your Voice Deep. Wander got no power up of any kind by going into Super Mode. He pulled the towel out of the hat, and the grappling hook too. This is nothing new for Wander's hat. He did not actually develop the ability to fly, and only chose to talk in a deep voice.
I know the "How are you like a lollipop stick" joke is a pun, but it also seems a bit of meta-humor about the fact that Wander is shaped more-or-less like a lollipop in Craig Mc Cracken's notes for drawing the character. Is there a trope for such a thing? Inside Joke maybe?
