The reason for that was obvious, it was to further exploit the use of the episode's "so called gag". The same thing was used when Bloo barbarically tortured poor Mac to the brink of insanity with everyone at Foster's helping Bloo in "Surprise".

They believed Goofball was an IF because it helps the episode build it's point of singling out Frankie. They do it all the time in TV. Like in shows like Teen Titans where, if the episode focuses on say Cyborg, he will "convienetly" be the only one powerful enough to take down the villain of the episode.

It's an annoying cliche that can seriously bug you, even when your trying not to notice it. Unfortunately Foster's did it twice for Frankie and Mac, and they made it PAINFULLY obvious in both Mac and Frankie's torture episodes.
