Mecha Builders Theories

Where did the third muffin come from?

(By me Jillya)

In the episode Get in gear the whole episode is about the Mecha Builders trying to fix a clock so everyone would know what time it is pretty straightforward plot right?

Well yeah but if you look in the background of the episode and pay attention you would notice something strange and I honestly didn't catch it at first until I recently took another look at the episode and honestly it confused too me and I don't know what to make of it

But I'm going to try to explain it in the beginning of the episode Barb asks Billy if you wants to go to the bakery with her to get a muffin and Billie accepts but she says that she has to wait for her break

If you keep in mind what Barb said and wait for the Mecha Builders to show up a couple seconds after they show up a scene shows Barb in front of the bakery trying to ask for two muffins but the bakery owner tells her that she has to wait for the Big Clock the chime and she explains to him that it can't chime

Again keep in mind what Barb said and skip to the end of the episode towards the end when they finally get their muffins Barb brings out a tray of muffins you would expect her to have two muffins on the plate because that's what she said she wanted but if you pause it at the right time and count the muffins on the tray you would notice that there's three muffins instead of two

You cannot tell me that the Tray has two muffins it clearly has three but that doesn't make sense Barb said explicitly that she wanted two muffins so where did this extra one come from?

We could just chop this off to an animation error but that's not fun so I'm going to overanalysis this for no reason

The only things we know about this is that there is supposed to be two muffins not three and that's pretty much it unless Barb lied but I don't think she would have lied and you might be thinking well didn't everyone get three muffins

And you would be correct but the Mecha Builders got three muffins because there's three of them there's only two of them so we know that everyone just didn't get three muffins something else must be going on but what?

A couple of theories I have for this are that Barb got an extra muffin for one of them and that she decided to do this when she finally got to the bakery this could explain why she only said that she wanted two and how the end result was three but we really don't know for sure if any of them got extra muffins because we really don't get to see them eat them

Another theory I have is that she could have gotten it for her husband but for this to be true then my theory about her being with Marwin would have to be true and this is not supported so this would only make sense if you believed in the idea and because there's no evidence this can't be a solid answer

So the only solid answer would be that Barb got an extra muffin for either herself or Billie but like I said this isn't really supported

So there could be another reason as to why this happens the most likely being that it was just a simple animation error which is possible but it's the most boring out of all these but hey if that's how this happened then okay

But what do you think about this why do you think Barb got three muffins in the end when she originally in the beginning of the episode asked for two?

(And if you have any theories about the show that I didn't yet covered let me know and I'll see how fast I can make a chapter about it )
