Episode 19A : Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru
In this episode Lincoln, a boy who lives with 10 different girls with ten different personalities thinks that other girls have the same personalities. It starts with Lincoln and Clyde starting a business for a class assignment and they start with trying to sell chocolate pie. (Apparently, this show thinks everyone likes Chocolate pie and attacks those not in the chocolate pie cult, we must stop this, it goes up far people ,far!) There is no chocolate to be had so, instead of fruit they decide to use salt and vinegar. (So they go from chocolate , skip almost any fruit a pie can be and use chip flavors? What?)
That fails because , duh? They attempt a couple more businesses that luckily weren't too big to fail. Lincoln gives Liam a little girl advice telling him that girls do like chocolate. (to be fair, who doesn't?) Which starts the main plot of this episode. Liam returns and says that the advice worked. Lincoln ends up becoming the Girl Guru. (Roll credits) Side Line: I do like that Lincoln uses his experiences with his sisters as a guide for his advice, even if we the audience can maybe figure this might not go well. It gives us a good insight into the sisters and also, how much Lincoln really does know about them. Though, he really shouldn't have used anything Lynn does as advice? Also, using Lisa as a basis only works with people who would already like science stuff. Like I said, Lincoln this might not work out for you.
Time to play : "Let's watch this all collapse!" Since it fails the boys try to hide as they worry. I will add this episode does have some good comedy to it and really makes it not boring or awful. When they make it to the Loud House (Roll credits twice) the girls find out that it was dumb that Lincoln used his knowledge of the sisters to do a guru thing. He learned the obvious.
Remember the salt and vinegar pies ? They come in to play to let peop(le who were mad at Lincoln for bad advice to throw them at Lincoln. (Not sure, that salt and vinegar in the face is a good idea but alright.)
Not a bad episode, it's enjoyable and funny. While, you can maybe see Lincoln's plan back firing from the start it does a good job that shows he didn't mean any ill-intent and the people mad him have a reason to be mad. The ending is good as well as it works out for everyone in a creative way. I give it 7.5/10.
More after the Jump
Finally an episode based off a Styx song! Only , I wish it was an episode about Lincoln sailing away on the virgin sea because he has got to be free searching for tomorrow on ever shore. While he remembers childhood friends and dreams he had. Then angels ask Lincoln to board their starship (Lincoln joining Starship would be awesome, nothings stoppin' him now) that would be a fun episode.
Remember that "Rugrats"episode with a garage sale called "Garage Sale"? Well if you don't that's fine I'll explain a little. First off, this episode is about a Loud family garage sale (hence the title) and Lincoln sets up with his "breaking the fourth wall" by saying that his family is competitive and he wants to have a "win" this time. Now, that could have been the start of a great execution. Well, let's see how this goes, back in a few minutes.
No it doesn't have a great execution. At first, it's fine but Lincoln notices that he isn't the leading family seller. Here's where that Rugrats episode comparison comes into play you see, the rugrats are babies and in their episode they see the parents selling stuff and decide to help with the knowledge they have and decide to take everything out of the house and the parents end up selling it. In this episode Lincoln is 11. He decides to grab some stuff in the house that would not be garage sale material and sell it to have a cheap win. The rugrats (except maybe Angelica?) were being innocently unaware of what they were doing works to the nature of the show and characters, here on the other hand , no.
The sisters find out and instead of you know, telling him he's wrong and maybe he should get that stuff back , what do they do? They join in and start taking stuff out of the house just to get a cheap win. They somehow don't want to miss out on that pot of gold , I guess. The episode isn't even funny, I'm saying that now it's not even funny, this could have been funny if they had ended up doing something stupid like selling only all of their belongings and they would learn that maybe they shouldn't have gone so far but, the parents' and shared stuff was dumb.
Then the episode tries to save itself by making the characters find Lilly's blanket which, they sold. That turns into another competition because they've already learned nothing. This segment of the episode is the only part where there are moments to make a laugh happen. They didn't sell actually, Rita had it because she was washing it. Rita does find out that her stuff has been sold and she does punish them, but they learned nothing. I'm removing 2 points just right now because there was more butt shaking than 1990's MTV.
Like I said, this episode executes itself badly, it doesn't do a good attempt at being funny or silly to make up for it, the characters learn nothing except maybe Flip, and it's just confused and lost. It would have been better if it was based off "Mr.Roboto." If you want a better garage sale episode , watch that "Rugrats" episode, if you want a better Louds selling something episode, watch "Girl Guru". Let's see I was going to give it 6/10 , but oh yeah that thing so 4/10.
Tune in next time, when I wonder if there could be a Loud House episode based off "Babe" by Styx.
