My Bio
The most common interpretation of the video is that the Clock was trying to teach the audience that life was short, and that they should make the best of their limited time. Tony refuses to allow petty childish games, as he finds those to be a waste of time. However, much like with Notepad, is ultimately hypocritical and subversive: he initiates the song as means to have the other puppets not worry about time, but as the song goes on he begins to emphasise the importance of time as means to control them in progressively less subtle ways, culminating when Robin explains that time is an illusion, which prompts him to beep until their ears bleed and then horrifically using time to decay them and traumatize them into submission.

Thus, Tony the Clock represents how the illusion of time enslaves humanity, a notion that evolved to bring order to the daily routine suddenly becoming opressive and manipulative. Throughout the video, he attempted to teach the other puppets the importance of time, and that they should try to devote themselves to following his schedule. However, much like the first video, things go horribly wrong.

Scaring the 3 puppets, controlling their lives, teach them the importance of time and later the inevitability of death.

However, much like with Sketchpad, is ultimately hypocritical and subversive: he initiates the song as means to have the other puppets not worry about time, but as the song goes on he begins to emphasize the importance of time as means to control them in progressively less subtle ways, culminating when Green Bird wonders if time is just an illusion, which prompts him to beep until their ears bleed and then horrifically using time to decay them and traumatize them into submission.

Thus, Tony the Clock may represents how the illusion of time enslaves humanity, a notion that evolved to bring order to the daily routine suddenly becoming oppressive and manipulative.

" tock tock tick tock, "
Tony was reading what looked to a blank book.
" tick tock tick "

"......hello..." The brunette smiled and waved at the other.
{{Incredibly late, sorry about that.}}
An eyebrow quirked as he looked at the brown-haired person that had just garnered his attention. A pause in his steps; he diverted more of his attention to her as he blinked twice,
"Hello."
