The Loud House: Season 1: Toads and Tiaras / Two Boys and A Baby

The Loud House  Nickelodeon 


          Thinking back, those past two episodes were pretty fun, take a read of our previous Loud House post here. Now on, to episode 14.



 Episode 14 A: Toads and Tiaras 

           This episode dives a little more into the twin Loud girls, Lana and Lola. They each have their own personalities that contrast and have been shown in the previous episodes. If the title doesn't show you a reference to the former TLC network series "Toddlers and Tiaras" then I want to be happy that some didn't know that show existed.  What? It's about a pageant. 

        Lola is training for a pageant with Lincoln helping, thus showing how helpful a brother he is with his sisters.  Also, there is a price to the famous "Dairy Land" and if Lincoln gets to go along if Lola wins then bonus!    The first part also sets up Lana where you see her running through the mud  it's a nice touch to show her difference to Lola.

            Lola trips over a hairspray can and now is injured. So, they can't go the pageant. Lincoln then figures out that Lola's twin sister looks like Lola. (Mind blown)  He convinces her to join the pageant for the season passes since they both like Dairyland. They also have to make sure Lola doesn't find out.

              He helps teach her some of the pageant essentials.  Though,  Lana's ability to do plumbing would be a great talent skill for the pageant. After a montage, things get done.  Lincoln's encouragement is also sweet touch this episode. Since the rules say that Lola has to find out, Lola finds out and gets scary and trudges her way on crutches to stop Lincoln and Lana from ruining her "good name".  Like how the dad doesn't care about his injured daughter storming out the house.

            When Lana tries to do the routine she still also acts like Lana like fixing the loose floor board  with a hammer she has there.  When Lana says she thinks maybe there's something wrong with her , Lincoln tells her that nothing wrong with her and that she should be herself.  Then he lets her do her own talent instead. Lola finds Lincoln and I think wants to kill him but Lana won. Lola doesn't mind now and lets them have the tickets.

        This is a good don't turn people into something they aren't episode,it's well done with the characters and I really think it's genuine and earnest in it's presentation.  I think Lana is a great character so this episode really feels like it was written for her in mind than just any of the sisters.  I give it  10/10.  It's a high ranking episode.

More after the Jump



Episode 14 B: Two Boys and a Baby 


 I'm glad we get a Three Men and a Baby reference now.


        Aunt Ruth, their mother's aunt, seems to be unpleasant person to be around.  Lincoln wants to get out of seeing her and since Lynn Sr. usually spends time with Lilly not with Aunt Ruth due to the woman's distrust of the baby around her cats.  Lincoln ends up getting to watch Lilly after convincing the parents.  Clyde comes over too  He's kind of sweet with the baby, I like his interactions with her.


 I would think that Lincoln would have more Lilly knowledge but for this episode, I guess it has to work for the plot or something. Again, though it's nice touch to see these two take care Lilly, I still like the interactions.  Also this episode is kind of gross as well, they really increased the grossness factor.

     Today I learned the Louds have like 79 fans in their house.  Rita calls and offers a tip to help a crying Lily through the park .  Lilly gets a way when they dosed off for a second and we a montage of them chasing her. This turned into "Baby's Day Out".  They grabbed the wrong baby. (Eh, the others won't notice)  Don't worry the fixed everything.

    So, the end of he episode turns out bad  because something something something, chicken pox, plot contrivance.   So the aunt that doesn't trust Lilly around her cats allows Lilly to be around her cats?  Why? Did the episode end like that, couldn't they have gone to Clyde's house?   The ending ruins the episode just because it doesn't make sense, or they writing thinks that Lincoln has to suffer because he did something wrong, which he didn't.  It's just odd.   The gross moments don't help either , either the aunt or the baby stuff.  So let's see  8/10 (base) , taking off  1 pt for the grossness and 1 pt of the bad ending it's 6/10.    The only thing that keeps it higher than 5 is that  I think Clyde's interactions and  minus the gross stuff and ending it's entertaining stuff in there.


   That's it for now, off to wonder did the Louds vaccinate their children?  Tune in next time!
