More about "Gown and Out"

Added DiffLines:

** This could also be a TakeThat for "No Such Luck", as Lincoln brags about making Lola a "real pro", which, in his view, is someone who values training and hard effort, and not someone who gets carried away by ridiculous superstitions, as Lynn Jr. did with Lincoln in "No Such Luck".

"Game Off" and "Get The Message".

Added DiffLines:

* In "Game Off", the sisters tell Lana that Lincoln will be furious and consider her "dead" because she accidentally lost all of his progress on the video game ''Total Trash Takedown''. This doesn't seem to be Lincoln's style, as he is almost always ultra-patient with his sisters, no matter how much they always harm him. But when you remember the second episode of the first season, "Get The Message", where he has another video game of his damaged by Lori and he is filled with rage to the point of recording an aggressive message for her on smartphone (in language so heavy that Luna drowns out his words with her guitar), the idea of him getting mad at Lana becomes much more plausible.
** Furthermore, Lincoln doesn't go out of character, because after he discovered the truth, he could hit Lana or threaten to turn her into a human pretzel, like the sisters always do to him, but he doesn't go beyond his line of non-violence, limiting himself to yelling at Lana and order her to get away from him.

* The reveal in "Pop Pop the Question" that Myrtle used to be a spy could be the reason for her never having kids or friends, as mentioned in "Insta-gran". She maybe used to think that making friends put her at risk of her identity being discovered, and was too busy being a spy to have kids. Now that she is old, it's been long enough since her days of being a spy ended, so she no longer feels that it's risky to make friends, but she's too old to have kids.

* In "Gown And Out", Lynn Jr. is upset when she sees Lola performing at her municipal pageant and Lincoln is happy with Lola. At first you can't understand why Lynn is angry. Days later, when Lori calls "expert" Lincoln on smartphone to help Lola with her regional pageant (since he's her coach), it's clear that Lynn is upset that there is at least one thing in that she is inferior to Lincoln.

* In "Net Gains", no one in the Loud Family will cheer for Lynn Jr. at basketball games. In light of "No Such Luck", it seems unlikely that this was a requirement of Lynn. After the parents and sisters reconcile with Lincoln and accept that he is not bad luck (although the cartoon does not show how they did this), they decide to boycott Lynn's basketball tournament in retaliation for her coercing Lincoln into going to her softball game in "No Such Luck", thus triggering the whole bad luck incident.

** One of Flip's biological quirks is that he's immune to hypothermia. This could be part of the reason he didn't care about leaving the Louds in the blizzard in "Snow Way Out" -- since the cold doesn't effect him, it requires effort for him to remember that it can harm or kill others.



* Lucy sighs a lot, and she has the odd habit of saying the actual word. Seems kind of pointless at first, but then I remembered that The Loud House takes a lot of inspiration from comic books. In most of them, particularly ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}'', when a character sighs it appears as the actual word in their text bubble. It's a stealthy joke on how readers will most likely imagine the character saying the word "sigh" instead of making the sound.

** An alternative interpretation: Lucy really likes the beach, but she was afraid of being made fun of by her sisters (as almost happened in "Sleuth Or Consequences") and she used the shark as an pretext (in fact, as morbid as she is, it seems unlikely that she be able to have fun at the expense of other people's tragedy, unlike Luan and Lynn Jr.). But as she got involved with the Morticians Club, she forced herself to believe that the beach was not the right environment for her, and in the end, she was never really convinced of that, so much so that in "Sand Hassles" she adapted more easily than her Club colleagues, because she ALWAYS liked the beach, unlike them, who had to learn the hard way!

* In "Vantastic Voyage" and "Home of the Fave", we briefly see Leonard in his hippie phase, with Vanzilla having been modified to match; this includes replacing the Fungo logo with a peace sign. "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas" reveals that one Christmas, he accidentally chopped a tree on top of Vanzilla, knocking off the Fungo logo. Maybe his hippie phase happened during this time?

* Lincoln's crisis about leaving a nasty voice message for Lori in "Get The Message" was ultimately pointless - [[LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn Luna's guitar playing would have]] [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome drowned his rant out completely]], and, as the end of the episode proves, it was highly unlikely Lori would even sit through [[EarRape several loud chords strumming in her ears]] to even reach the lone part at the end where he goes: ''"....and that is why you are the worst. Sister. EVER!!!"''

* In "Home of the Fave", Lynn Sr. thinks his father played favourites with him and his brother. However, when we meet his father, Leonard, in "Camped!", he seems to be very nice, and in fact, a bit of a sap like Lynn Sr. himself. This makes more sense after "Twas the Fight Before Christmas", which reveals that Lynn Sr. and his brother, Lance, have had a rivalry since childhood. Most likely Leonard didn't actually play favourites; Lynn Sr. was just [[GreenEyedMonster jealous]] of Lance.

** "Camped!" reveals that Lynn Sr.'s dad is named Leonard. It's possible Lynn Sr. was gonna name his second kid after his dad, but then it turned out to be a girl. Luckily, Leonard can be shortened to Lenny, which sounds like the female name Leni. So he kept the original name, in a way.

Inserting paragraph about Funny Business

Added DiffLines:

* Lola has a private collection of wigs (which can be very useful for her to quickly switch between various trendy hairstyles). In "L Is For Love", she wears a brown wig to take advantage of her sisters' supposed suitors. In "Garage Banned", she wears a blonde wig after getting her hair destroyed by Lisa.
* In "Funny Business", neither sister lasts long as Luan's assistant at the children's birthday parties she hosts. This says less about the sisters' incompetence and more about Luan's impatience and timelessness, as, rather than training and perfecting the sisters in her craft, she prefers to get rid of the problem quickly. The fact that she's been working without an assistant until she gets Lincoln suggests that she's such a perfectionist that she'd rather screw herself than work with unpredictable co-workers.
** On the other hand, Lincoln, in the role of assistant, sounds as annoying as the other sisters, but Luan never thinks about firing him. How can she be so patient with him? Well, since Lincoln still manages to keep the kids at the party happy and satisfied, maybe she finds Lincoln's ego easier to tolerate than technical problems (Lynn Jr. and Leni) or unwelcome intrusions (Lucy and Lisa) that might hurt the kids and ruin the party. After all, Luan is less jealous of Lincoln and more concerned about her audience.

Inserting "Driving Miss Hazy" in addition to "No Such Luck"

Added DiffLines:

** In "Driving Miss Hazy", Lori could also claim that she has little time to do her own thing: her siblings always ask her to take them to the events they like, as she is the only sister who has a driver's license. So, to buy time, she makes the brothers do her tasks in exchange for taking them with Vanzilla.

Inserting "Purrfect Gig"

Added DiffLines:

* It's unknown if this was intentional, but "Purrfect Gig" has a small nod to "No Such Luck": Luna enlists her girlfriend Sam to help her look after the [=McBrides=]' cats. But Sam brings her little brother Simon with her, and Luna can't stress the cats with too many strange people. Sam, calm, remembers that she can't leave Simon waiting outside the house, but Luna says, jokingly, that she could, because the weather is nice outside, making Sam get irritated with her. Well, taking into account that Luna already kicked Lincoln out of her house for being "bad luck", her idea doesn't seem so sarcastic (not least because Simon could also be "bad luck" for cats). It looks like she really hasn't learned anything. Sam, on the other hand, demonstrates that she would never do to Simon what Luna did to Lincoln (although Sam is also shown to not be a very caring sister, as she almost forgot Simon when she left).

** Similarly, Lucy and Luan are the only siblings who aren't shown swearing around Lily. Lucy is generally TheStoic, and no one really notices her, so it's not only rare for her to swear, but also rare for anyone to actually hear her do so. Meanwhile, many comedians, which Luan aspires to be, find blue or off-color humor to be distasteful.

Added DiffLines:

* In "Ties That Bind", when the siblings think they'll be thrown out of their house for being "masters of chaos", Luan guards Mr. Coconuts into the case, and Luna does the same with her guitar. Why don't they throw their items in the trash, like Luan does in "No Laughing Matter"? Because they are still willing to follow their respective vocations (comedy and rock n' roll) and just want to buy time to negotiate with their parents.
* In "Spell It Out", Lynn Jr., after losing her voice, might as well switch places with a member of the rowing team. But she is obsessed with always being the leader, and she insists on being the helmsman of the boat, and no one questions it.

Added DiffLines:

** Why does Lori play videogame with Lincoln at the end? Just to disguise it, so that the parents have the illusion that everything is harmonious inside the house? None of that. Just as she taught Lincoln to be firm with the sisters, she also learned to be more flexible.


Added DiffLines:

** Luan cares so much about her siblings that she decided to "reprise" the script she had performed the morning before, following the same order of meeting her brothers and repeating some acts (offering fruit punch to Lincoln and saying "Knock Knock" to Lucy and Lynn), just acting nice. She did this on purpose to immediately demonstrate that she was changed.

* In "No Such Luck", the confusion that ends with Lincoln being evicted from his home is caused, in part, by Lincoln's desire to gain more time to do the things he enjoys. Although it is a legitimate desire, the way he handles the situation makes him selfishly think that he is the only one who suffers from a lack of time in the family, as if he were a slave in the service of 10 privileged women. But think about it: is he really the only sibling who complains about his events schedule? Lynn and Lana don't seem to love Leni and Lola's fashion shows and pageants. Lucy also doesn't get anyone interested in the same things as her (in "Spell It Out", she summons the pets to do her psychic session). Lisa is not a fan of play activities. And definitely, no one finds humor in Luan's comedy shows. Putting it all together, it's not hard to see that none of the sisters has the luxury of always doing what they likes, and that they all force themselves to sacrifice a little bit of themselves to show mutual support. That said, Lori's statement in "No Such Luck" that all siblings have a duty to support each other takes on a completely different light. Lincoln was wrong all along because he was only thinking about himself.

* In "No Laughing Matter", Luan gives up comedy after hearing his siblings comment (behind her back, not knowing she was listening) that she is annoying and unfunny. This seems to contradict "Head Poet's Anxiety", where Luan is resilient to criticism. But if Luan was merely offended by the fact that she was seen as unfunny, the most likely thing is that she would take revenge on her siblings, pulling even more cruel pranks on everyone. The fact that she stops pranking her siblings shows that she is actually worried about feeding the image of being a "bad sister", and fears that the comedy is leading her down that path. So she decides to give up on her dream as she really cares about her family.

Inserting "No Guts, No Glori" and more "Change of Heart"

Added DiffLines:

* In "Change Of Heart", Lori, at first, is happy to think that Clyde now has Leni as his crush instead of her. But when Leni thanks Clyde on the phone for being the nicest guy she's ever seen, giving her some shoe stain spray, Lori is soon apprehensive. It's as if she discovers a possible reason for Clyde to leave her for Leni: while Lori never thanks Clyde for the gifts he gives her, Leni genuinely congratulates him, showing that she really cares for him. Likewise, Lori reacts angrily to her every shoe being stained by Clyde, while Leni, after going through the same situation, has forgiven Clyde and moved on. No wonder, after Lori learns her lesson, Clyde stains her shoe one last time and she doesn't care anymore.
** This also explains why Leni's plan went wrong: Clyde, after Leni's lessons, was really ready to face Lori without a nosebleed. That's because he thought Lori was still indifferent to him. But when he sees Lori changing her attitude and showing kindness to the point of giving him a kiss on the cheek, Clyde bleeds his nose again, because it was a completely new experience for him.
* In "No Guts, No Glori", the sisters decide to put Lincoln as leader in Lori's place, while the parents go out to dinner. At first, you might think they do this because they value his leadership qualities. But soon after, the exact opposite is proven: they ''know'' that he is a terrible leader, and they chose him precisely so that they could mess up the house at will. So much so that, when Lincoln changes his permissive attitude and tries to impose a little strictness to his sisters, they snub him, with Lynn jokingly asking, "Who do you think you are? Lori?". And all the sisters laugh at him, as if to say, "you fell into our trap!" And Lincoln surrenders, "No, I'm not." In fact, he is not a born leader like Lori.

* In "For Bros About to Rock", the sisters tell Lincoln not to let Luna interfere with his first concert, since whenever she interfered with ''their'' first concerts, it ruined the experience. However, when Luna interferes with ''Lincoln's'' first concert, he has the time of his life. Why is his first concert different? Well, Lori's, the twins', and Lisa's first concerts were not rock, and Lincoln's was, and rock is the music genre Luna is most into, so she'd probably know rock concerts better than any other kind.
