There was a series of TV commercials in the 70s for a laundry detergent that focused on “ring around the collar”. So I suspect it’s a spoof of one of those.
What’s the joke? Is it his collar with the buckle in front?

Those commercials were pretty common in the 80s (I wanna say it was for Tide), and yes, this is a direct reference to those.
“Wisk gets ring-around-the-collar and your whole wash clean.”
Wisk! I’d entirely forgotten the existence of that detergent
Makes sense. It’s a smidge before my time of having a television.
