The first one doesn't make sense. Oblique can also mean indirect, so someone can make an oblique reference to something for example without actually saying the thing they're making a reference about...
Wanton is an adjective, used to describe someone. It should be placed before a noun, as in "he was a wanton child"

What is the point of your question? Point out spelling mistakes or define the words that are in all caps?
Or tell which words in all caps don't belong ? Wanton has a slightly different shade of meaning and does not belong in the third sentence.

No 2 makes sense, although I don't think you will get away with 1 and 3.

The first two are fine but the 3rd doesn't make any sense at all.
look up wanton at www.wordsmyth.net and try again.

1 and 3 are not well written. 2 is good.

oblique: not straightforward : INDIRECT
banter: to speak to or address in a witty and teasing manner
wanton: unduly lavish : EXTRAVAGANT
so yes, they make sense
