The Loud House Season 1: Roughin' It / The Waiting Game

The Loud House   Nickelodeon

         Previously, our past post here.  Now on to episode  20.

 Episode 20 A : Roughin' It 

                 Lincoln is feeling a lot less manly in this episode and decides to feel more manly again he has to go camping. With Clyde.   At the start of the episode there's a montage  that will come into play into the episode later. I like how they did that.  Lincoln and Clyde attempt do EXTREME (not 90's EXTREME) camping to get that manly feeling back again.  (It's like a lovin' feeling , maybe) 

       The fun of the episode at first, is seeing how they do this camping.   I'm taking off .5 pts for the farting too much because I'm a tough judge.  Anyway, when things go wrong in the episode , the next day, when they are floated down the river because they camped in spot they weren't supposed to have camp.    That montage at the beginning comes into play when Lincoln uses different things he learned from his sisters to help him in the woods.

    There's not much I can say about what goes on in the episode, except that it is a very enjoyable episode, I like the jokes and gags it has and the message  the Lincoln learns that being with his sisters is valuable and doesn't make him less "manly"  It's a really good episode I give it 9.5/10.

The Loud House Season 1: Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru/ Come Sale Away

The Loud House  Nickelodeon 

         Previous episode talked about here.   Now on to Episode 19

               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.

The Loud House: Season 1: April Fools Rules/ Cereal Offender

The Loud House   Nickelodeon 


       There's really no way for me jazz up saying hey look here there's where you can see the previous episode here.   Anyway, we continue with season 1 and this time episode 18.

 Episode 18 A  : April Fools Rules 

       It's kind of how "The Simpsons" does a Halloween special every year, this show , at least for season 1-3, has a April Fools' Day themed episode. Forget the timeline of the show somehow having 3 April Fools' Day episodes happen because that's too much thing ,and join us on the journey of the one that started it all.

        Luan Loud has been show in the episodes before this one to be the comedic sister and also a slight prankster. This episode shows she takes pranks and  knocks the level up to 11, screw it , 12, 15, over 9000!.     She also uses her pun powers at a heightened sense of ability no average human could do. 

        The others are preparing for April Fools' Day by bubble wrapping themselves, having a bunker, etc. Lincoln's plan is to stay in his room that whole day.  I love how the episode sets up the tension and fear really well. Ronnie exists and she texts Lincoln that she's coming over the next day, THAT DAY,  to bring a present. (Lincoln really should have been suspicious of that timing, darn sweet trusting Lincoln)   He tries to convince Luan to stop the prank thing  but she says no.

      Plan B, Lincoln tries to stop Luan from doing the pranking thing so, they get her while she's a sleep and lock her in a cage. (Yes, of course)  Now the other Louds make bad crate puns. Apparently, Luan can rip through metal and got of the cage.( Help!)   Lincoln gets the idea to run through all the pranks Luan set up to make sure that Ronnie Anne won't be get pranked.    The pranks are interesting use of the medium , animation, because they are over the top (Would make Home Alone blush) and rather genius.

    Leni follows Luan's signs that say the kitchen is outside where and was never seen again.   Clyde uses his Lori obsession powers to get take the pranks for Lincoln in her and Leni's room.  Ronnie Anne shows up and also I'm shocked , Luan invited Ronnie Anne over to make sure he would get pranked.  (Darn sweet, naive Lincoln)   She also a pie (not sure where she stored it  because we didn't see her walking up to the house with it but, alright)  but instead of pieing Lincoln she gives ot Luan instead.  They go out for milkshakes.  Meanwhile, rest of the family has to go find Leni and Luan does more one prank and pun.

          A fun episode that uses the medium of this show well, also showing us the interesting abilities of Luan and honestly, her knowledge of how Lincoln would react is well done.  There's nothing in the pepisode that makes it feel too uncomfortable to uneasy to watch and it has some great pranks.  It's a 9/10 episode indeed.

The Loud House : Season 1: House Music/ A Novel Idea

The Loud House  Nickelodeon 


 Previously episode 16 you can read that here. Now Here's episode 17.

  Episode 17a : House Music 

          Luna likes music as this show has shown through the series, now they've decided to give an episode with more a focus on here. (Woah,not focused on Lincoln? I'm scared)   There's a family talent event that evening and Louds  end up doing some music stuff.  Luna tells her family the best thing to do when doing music, is to have fun. (Pay attention to that)  The father, Lynn Sr, tells the family about his being kicked out of a band because of his obsession of cowbell so, the family let him join the fun too.

     They practice but Luna seems to get a call from her favorite artist, Mick Swagger, is going to be the fair  looking for talent. (Yeah, sure that makes sense) Luna then changes her mind on having fun because she wants to impress Swagger. So, she gets mad and fires her dad from the band.  Then, the rest of the family kick her out of their band.  She goes on to try and work on her own.

       She ends up at dinner trying to figure out a song and runs into an old man. (Gee, I wonder the old man is, it's not like he's Mick Swagger in disguise.) She tells him her problem and he pretends not being Swagger and reminds her about having fun. (She also eats his food)

     So now, Luna runs back to her family and to have fun.  The family does let her back in and she reconciles  with Lynn Sr. and lets him back in the band.  (He really needs new pants) They have fun at the fair and Luna meets Mick Swagger for real.

      This episode gives us some great Luna development  and apparently some background story for Lynn Sr. It has some funny moments as well. I think it's 9.7/10 (I was going to make it higher but, not enough cowbell)

The Loud House : Season 1: Attention Deficit / Out on a Limo

The Loud House Nickelodeon 


     Last Time:  Lincoln goes on a date,you can read that here.  Now, episode to Episode 16's segments.

   Episode 16a: Attention Deficit 

          Another hint of life in a large family is that there are more kids than parents and so this means the parents limited time is more limited when it comes to being with each kid individually.   The episode starts by showing an active/ normal time at the Loud House and Lincoln working on a science project.  When he asks each parent for some assistance  they have to tend to other kids first.  In contrast, Clyde, as a single child has both his parents more un-divided attention.  This gives Clyde the idea to let Lincoln come over to his house and have his Dads help Lincoln.

            The Mcbride parents give Lincoln some attention which Lincoln seems to enjoy.   He doesn't get his project done that first day meaning he'll be back a second day.   Lynn notices that Lincoln looks a little different and gets it out of him that he spent the afternoon with the McBrides  who give him some attention. Lynn is impressed by this and decides to join in the fun , after Lincoln invites her. That goes well for her as she enjoys the attention too.    Again, because she wouldn't be used to it either because she's  in the same position as Lincoln with other people in the family needing attention as well.

           Eventually, the other sisters want to join in and this causes cahos at the McBride home. The McBrides have to deal with other kids  now.  Lincoln was going to kick his sisters out of the house but he learns that they also want a little attention too and goes home. (Leaving them with those people aren't of any help though) Lincoln's parents do end up helping because they were always going to help.  The McBrides send all the other Louds back home. Rita and Lynn Sr. are saints.

         This is wonderful episode. It doesn't put anyone in a negative light and uses the shows premise well to make simple episode pop.  It shows that all of the characters have the same thing in common with the big family, just wanting a little attention. It's an episode with heart , fun moments, and ajoy to watch. I give it 9/10.

The Loud House: Season 1: It's a Loud,Loud,Loud,Loud House/ Save the Date

The Loud House Nickelodeon 

   If I could turn back time, I'd go back the other previous Loud House post, if  I missed it, you can read that here.
 
      This is going to be the last time ,for awhile, where I jerry-rig two episode segments together because of the other paired episode.  First I've done the episode paired with "It's a Loud Loud Loud Loud House" already, that's "For Bros about to Rock" , that you can read here.  Meanwhile jumping to episode 15B since, I've already done "Cover Girls" (my favorite TLH episode) I'm taking "Save the Date" and putting it on this post.  (Cover Girls can be read here)

            Babbling over, time to babble, but about the episode.

   Episode 13B : "It's a Loud,Loud,Loud,Loud House" 

     Hey! How many louds do you need episode, calm down!    Lincoln finds a quarter in the couch which in a normal house would be fine, but in the Loud House no all the sisters want the quarter so they go insane and start fighting to find more quarters.  The parents exist and punish their kids for once. (yeah I went there)    So, now they have to clean the attic.  Lincoln finds a letter from a previous owner of the house named Sharon Demony. (hmm, someone owned that house?) 

               She said she hid money in the house and everyone around the house starts looking for the money. Eventually, they all get into fight again and get sent back to the attic.  Lincoln found another letter for a clue.  Lincoln gets hit in the face alot with a floor board when he walks on i this episode, anyway, they go crazy and start looking around the house.  Causing a mess.

          Eventually, Lincoln stops everything and tells everyone that maybe they should share instead. They came together and find the money buried in the backyard. Leni is good at picking locks apparently. It's 500 dollars and they split it, anyway, the money comes from the father's work bonus.   He has to clean the house though.

          This was another Loud House members fighting episode but to a purpose where they learn something at the end.   I like the title and plot being a reference to  "I't's a Mad Mad, Mad, Mad  World". That makes it really fitting.  The Jokes were fun and there wasn't any thing that dragged the episode down to me personally.  A fine episode with  some fun to be had  8.5/10. (Divide that by 11 for each Loud sibling)

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.
