The story provides examples of:

#-H

• #HashtagForLaughs: In chapter 34, Leni makes fun of Lucy by saying #lucymadeastinky.

• Abusive Parents: Lynn Sr. and Rita are absurdly negligent to Lincoln.
• Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In The Loud House itself, Lincoln was more annoyed than showing general outrage, and it was heavily implied through Mr. Grouse that few if any would have taken the events of No Such Luck seriously.

• Laxative Prank:
  • In chapter 18, Connor has an idea to feed Lincoln a box of Zombie Bran cereal after putting laxatives in it. His sister Carol overhears this and stops him but later she does this to Lori by making a sandwich with 10 colon storm pills blended into a sort of "special sauce" as a way of getting revenge on her. She has to use the bathroom several times throughout the story after this and somehow she effortlessly makes it to the bathroom without any kind of trouble every time except the first time.

• Logic Bomb: Todd had one in chapter 36 when he was told the diaper box was both bad and good luck.
• My God, What Have I Done?:
  • This is the reaction made by those who bought Lincoln's belongings from the Louds upon learning about his abuse. Even if the purchases were made under false pretenses orchestrated by the Louds, the buyers (the Sweetwaters included) work to make it up to Lincoln by bringing the items to him and giving heartfelt apologies.
  • Ronnie Anne comes to this upon realizing that her bullying has made Lincoln's life even more unbearable on top of his dismal home life.

• No Dead Body Poops: This happens whenever someone dies in this story.
• No Delays for the Wicked: Lori does not make it to the bathroom the first time after Carol's prank on her in chapter 18, but she effortlessly makes it every time after that. She never has to go when there is no bathroom nearby, nothing and no one ever stop or even try to stop her from going, she is never in a situation where she can not get to a bathroom right away or at all, and she never has to wait for someone else to finish using the bathroom or wait on a bathroom line, not even in her own house when there was only one bathroom.

  • When Luan goes to the bathroom in a toilet with plastic wrap in chapter 28.
  • When Lucy is in the backyard and her family except Lincoln are watching her in chapter 34.
• One-Hit Kill: A non-lethal variant of this happens in chapter 5 where Paige knocks Ronnie Anne out cold by landing a clean, hard right-handed cross punch on her left cheek.
• Only One Who Likes Spam: Lana is the only one who likes to eat things that disgust everyone else.
• Out of Character: Many characters act and do things much differently from the show.
  • Luna is much crueler, even right in front of Sam.
  • Lincoln is much more vengeful after the tracking chip is removed from his amygdala.
  • Lucy is much more emotional in private and public.
  • Lana is much cleaner and never eats anything gross.
  • Clyde is like a completely different person.
  • Rusty is much more inappropriate, especially to girls.
• Pain to the Ass: This is taken to an extreme in chapter 28 when Luan uses toilet paper made out of a gympie-gympie plant.
• Pay Evil unto Evil:
  • The Silencers will resort to morally questionable (even illegal) methods to get back at the Loud family.
  • Every act of revenge done to the Louds has them attacked with at least something specific about them and/or ruins at least something specific about them.
    • Lana: Her pets suffered greatly before they were killed in chapter 13.

• Pimp Duds: Rusty dresses like a pimp in chapter 37.
• Plot Armor: Even though bad things happen to the Louds, this still applies.
  • Lori has a huge laxative overdose in chapter 18 but unless she has a Potty Emergency, nothing bad ever happens to her. She is never in any kind of pain or distress, an open bathroom is always literally right there whenever she needs it, and unless it affects the story like when she is in Bobby's hospital room, she has less flatulence than she does in the show.
  • Lola has a stage accident in chapter 23, but she gets back on her feet very quickly. She almost immediately leaves the hospital after having surgery, she stops using her crutches very quickly, and even though her face and hair are still messed up and her face gets even more messed up in chapter 28, she is never in any kind of pain.
  • All the effects and/or pain from almost all the pranks done to the Louds in chapter 28 end almost instantly. The only prank that sticks around is the gympie-gympie prank done to Luan but even that is not lasting long, she is already in way less pain than she should be and the gympie-gympie plant is known to cause pain that would make you want to kill yourself and it can last for years.
• Potty Emergency: Lori has several and Luan and Lucy both have a few after they ate food laced with liquid-blended colon storm. Oddly this happens to Lori the most and it only ever happens when it is convenient for her and she can immediately get to an unoccupied bathroom.
• Potty Failure: In chapter 15, Rusty soils his underwear in front of everyone in school while singing and dancing on stage.

• Puppy-Dog Eyes: Lindsay does this to get Lincoln to join her tea party in chapter 2.

R-Z

• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Luna gives Lucy a harsh one in chapter 25 when she tells her the difference between her and Lincoln.
  Luna glared at Lynn Jr., "That's not my point!", before turning to Lucy and explaining, "The difference between you and Lincoln is that Lincoln makes us laugh. You… you actually scare us."

  Lucy said, "I know," to which Luna replied, "It starts with how you get around this house, dude! You can't be sneaking around the house jump scaring people!"

  Lucy explained, "I do that because no one notices me."

  Lynn Jr. yelled in response, "Because no one wants to notice you, spooky!"

  Lucy gasped before snarling, "You take that back."

  Luna then explained, "She's right, dude. You are into creepy stuff like death, funerals, and burying things alive! Don't think I don't remember that time you tried to bury our pets alive! Oh yeah, and what about that time you worked with Luan on April Fools' Day to bury us alive?!"

  Lucy smirked, remembering, "Oh yeah. That. It was wicked."

  Luna continued, "That's my point, sis! NO ONE IN THIS HOUSE, NAY, THIS WORLD, IS EXCITED BY DEATH BUT YOU! And THAT'S why everybody ignores you! THAT'S why you can't make real friends! No one would want to be around you if they're afraid of being killed by you just for your own thrills!"

  Lucy quickly defended, "What about my Morticians Club?"

  Luna yelled, "Those creeps don't count! How long until they bury you, huh? To satisfy their own sick kicks? How long? I bet they're just waiting to do that!"

  Sam scolded, "Luna…", but Luna interrupted her, "No, Sam. She's needed to hear this for years. Vampires of Melancholia? That's the lamest love story I've ever seen in my life! You cuddle with a bust of your favorite character from said show! You said you wanted to go to the beach… to see someone get attacked by sharks! I've lost count how many times you've bitten us with those fake vampire teeth! And that's not even counting all the times you try to talk to ghosts, dude!" Luna then growled at Lucy, "You know what, spooky… Lynn Jr. might be right. I think you put a demonic curse on Marcus Quick to have him rob our house and kill our pets."

  The rest of the room gasped while Lucy growled, "You. Take. That. Back."

  Luna said, "No. If it weren't for you, our pets would still be alive! Including Fangs!"

  Lucy scoffed, "Rich coming from the girl who idolizes a man who bit a bat's head off!"

  Luna gasped before sighing, "Just… just go, Lucy."
• "Rediscovering Roots" Trip: Clyde's visit to Toronto. To an extent, anyway.
• Related in the Adaptation: Certain unrelated characters are made relatives in this story. The most prominent example has Paige (Lincoln's crush from "L is for Love") and Becky (Lori & Leni's friend) be the older sisters of Lindsay Sweetwater.
  • As an homage to What is a Person Worth?, Connor (the bratty kid from "Cereal Offender"), Cassandra (Maggie's short, blonde-haired emo friend with the black beanie from "Funny Business"), and Carol Pingrey (Lori's rival) are made siblings, with Leslie (the bratty kid's canon mom from "Cereal Offender" and one of the parents present in "Funny Business") being their mother.
