** The babysitter is later seen freaking out trying to find Lily before breaking down.
* AfraidOfNeedles: "Cage Fright" reveals that Charles and Cliff are afraid of them, hence why they spent most of the story trying to avoid Mr. and Mrs. Loud who assure them it's just a checkup. This was played straight when the vet mentions about having the two vaccinated.
* AintTooProudToBeg: In "Chester", Charles and Cliff do this to convince Mrs. Loud to keep the kitty they found, even after they were told not to bring another thing in the house.

** [[spoiler:It's revealed that she has cynophobia [[note]](the fear of dogs)[[/note]] because of an incident that left her with a bleeding arm and having to relocate to another neighborhood where they don't allow any pets for the safety of her behalf.]]
** Walt, literally. The reason why he's been angry with everyone around him was all because of a careless man who knocked him out of his tree, putting his life on the line as he's forced to encounter a savage dog and an alley of cats, leading to a cut wing and two fallen birds (one was a friend of Walt's, and another who was there to protect him).

** In "Post-Terrier", Walt still remembers that there's no pleasing everyone with what anybody does in canon events, as learned from "Bone Sweet Bone".
** In "Chester", The pets stack themselves on top of each other to get the pet food for themselves, just like in ''Pets Peeved''.
* ContrivedCoincidence: The very first story, "Make Roomba Four" becomes this. It's about the pets discovering and playing with a vacuum robot. Over a week later came the Loud House short, “So Long, Sucker” premiering in Herbrew where [[spoiler: the premise is the same, the only difference is that the pets set out to destroy the vacuum robot instead]]. This caught the author completely off guard, he actually makes a reference to it soon after in “Webcome to the Jam”.
** "The Feast of These" shares a similarity to the comic piece "Feeding Frenzy" from the Livin' A Casa Loud graphic novel.
** "Puppy Love" shared a similar premise to "Love Birds" when it premiered eight months later, except the show gives it a focus on Walt, not Charles.

** Charles biting a postman's butt in "Post-Terrier", because the latter taunted him by shaking his butt in his face. He also bit Cliff's butt as well before getting called out by him, because [[JustifiedTrope he restrained him with a leash to stop his senseless attacking to the postman earlier]].
** At one point. Charles pees on Mr. Grouse's flowers over his bone getting stolen from him.

** "If It Ain't Broke" goes all out on this one, trying to keep it as kid-friendly as possible. It involves Charles and Cliff [[spoiler: set to get ''fixed'']], courtesy of Mr. and Mrs. Loud.

** Walt, literally. The reason why he's been angry with everyone around him was all because of a careless man who knocked him out of his tree, putting his life on the line as he's forced to encounter a savage dog and an alley of cats, leading to a cut wing and two fallen birds (one was a friend of Walt's, and another who was there to protect him).

** In "Chester", The pets stack themselves on top of each other to get the pet food for themselves, just like in ''Pets Peeved''.
* ContrivedCoincidence: The very first story, "Make Roomba Four" becomes this. It's about the pets discovering and playing with a vacuum robot. Over a week later came the Loud House short, “So Long, Sucker” premiering in Herbrew where [[spoiler: the premise is the same, the only difference is that the pets set out to destroy the vacuum robot instead]]. This caught the author completely off guard, he actually makes a reference to it soon after in “Webcome to the Jam”.
** "The Feast of These" shares a similarity to the comic piece "Feeding Frenzy" from the Livin' A Casa Loud graphic novel.
** "Puppy Love" shared a similar premise to "Love Birds" when it premiered eight months later, except the show gives it a focus on Walt, not Charles.
