Fridge Horror / The Loud House

• Lincoln being tricked into smearing sodium hypochlorite on his skin thinking it was sunscreen, which can cause permanent tissue damage if kept on for a long period of time.
  • Although Lori blames Lisa on this. In her defence, she's 4, just because she's a child genius doesn't mean she's developed a great moral compass yet.
• Lori gives Leni bad driving instructions in "Driving Miss Hazy". What if Leni had, like Lincoln said, crashed? Lori could have unwittingly MURDERED her sister just because she was too selfish to share the car keys. What's worse, she doesn't even seem THAT UPSET at the thought that she may have killed or seriously injured Leni, or any innocent bystander who could have been hit by Leni’s reckless driving for that matter, when Lincoln points this out.
  • She is concerned about the "hurt" part, but nobody seems to have realised the "killed" part.
• "Roughin' It": Howard and Harold are known to be overprotective towards Clyde, and Clyde specifically told Lincoln that his dads wanted him to stay in their sight while at the B&B. Yet both boys walked off into the woods and stayed away all night long. One can only imagine the kind of fears both men must have suffered from when Clyde did not come back before sunset. Which also begs the question why they (or at least Lincoln) apparently didn't get into any trouble for staying away for a whole night.
• This is actually something that was brought up on the recap for "April Fools Rules" that's about 75% Fridge Horror, 25% Fridge Brilliance: We saw in "Undie Pressure" that resisting the urge to tell even a simple "chicken crossing the road" joke caused Luan to go Laughing Mad with "sweet comic relief." Fast forward (presumably) to April Fools' Day, and no one (except for Lincoln on Ronnie Anne's behalf) tries to talk Luan out of cancelling the "Prank-pocalypse", not even her parents. Pushover Parents and siblings? Or those who know how worse it could be if Luan kept her dangerous April Fools urges bottled up?
  • Makes one wonder what her not doing comedy a la "No Laughing Matter" would have ended up? She clearly wasn't enjoying not telling jokes, and more importantly, the siblings were very insistent she start telling jokes again. One has to wonder if the parents did try and get her to stop pranks before and it backfired horribly.
• As of this writing, we know that Lola, Lori and Luan can be very dang mean in their own ways (Luan in April Fools Day, Lola whenever you get on her wrong side, and Lori whenever you tick her off) but then comes the question: Have their siblings been affected by these outrages? Has Lily ever been on the receiving end of such a thing?
  • Lola's actions have been hinted to have just been the other girls exaggerating to scare Lincoln straight... which may be worse actually...
• When you think about it, having Lisa be the archetypal stoic scientist actually spells really bad news for the family as a whole, since as proven in "Left in the Dark", she's not above using her own family as test subjects. How long is it until she decides to use her family on an experiment... And something bad happens?
  • According to a throwaway gag in "Potty Mouth" she's already burned her own hair out from radiation exposure due to a "nuclear experiment gone wrong" and has to wear a wig to conceal it. In other words, a 4-year-old girl gave herself radiation poisoning bad enough to kill her hair follicles.
    • It might've just been that the hair itself was burnt off but the follicles are still working.
  • She has also lost all of her teeth, and another episode reveals that sometimes, her exposed scalp would glow and reveal her brain. Worse yet, the end of one episode reveals that the latter symptoms have since happened to Lincoln...
  • "Insta-Gran" and "Fool Me Twice" confirm that Lisa appearing at scientific events wasn't a simple one-note gag in "Cover Girls". Therefore, either the scientific world unknowingly encourages a child who hasn't learned a solid moral compass yet to perform dangerous and illegal experiments on unwilling human subjects (because they know about her inventions). Or they know and don't care; because they like her inventions.
  • She makes an off-hand comment that she caused a nuclear incident in school in "Pipe Dreams"...
  • Then again, it's not too far-fetched to imagine her inventing something to grow back her hair, get her scalp back to normal, etc.
• In "Room with a Feud", why does Lola have containers of blood in her possession?
  • Lucy can be seen making fake blood in "Back in Black." It's likely that the containers are just Lucy's.
• At the end of "The Loudest Mission", it's revealed that Lincoln's instances of Breaking the Fourth Wall is a canon ability, and he uses it as a coping mechanism. Anyone else find this surprisingly horrifying? Since he uses it as a coping mechanism for his house's chaos, is it possible he could've gone mad from stress without it a long time ago? Not to mention, once he teaches her how to do so, had Ronnie-Anne either not had a strong will, or been prone to overthinking things, could she have Gone Mad from the Revelation of some unseen beings watching her from beyond the pale?
• If you thought "April Fools Rules" was bad, "Fool's Paradise" is practically a G-rated horror movie. Indeed, let's take a look at each prank Luan does in that episode:
  • After Luan is dropped off at a camp during April Fools Day weekend, Vanzilla mysteriously breaks down, forcing the Louds to stay at a roadside hotel - that is, a roadside hotel Luan boobytrapped with pranks that pick off the family one by one.
  • Lisa is taken out by a bed that shuts upward. Although she survives the encounter, in real life adults have died because beds unexpectedly shut on them; Lisa is 4!
  • The first prank outside the motel has Luna fall in a giant vat of gelatin. If Luna hadn't gotten out of the gelatin in time, she definitely would have suffocated.
  • Leni gets launched over a dozen feet in the air and many yards over before getting stuck to the motel sign. What if Luan's calculations had been even slightly off and Leni fell short or went flying over the sign? At the very best, she'd have several shattered bones, and at worst, she'd be a red and seafoam smear on the parking lot. Hell, slamming into the sign could've done any of that to her, since it's Not the Fall That Kills You… Still, it is amazing her spine didn't crack.
  • The next prank involves an attempt at "Open!" Says Me landing Lana in a pit of rhubarb pies; if this just sounds annoying and mildly disabling, Lana is allergic to rhubarb! And with Vanzilla broken down, it's entirely possible that had she had a full-blown attack, she'd have died since it's fairly unlikely that the family had epi-pens handy. In other words: Prankageddon Luan has proven to be very heartless to the point where she would knowingly pull a prank on Lana that could have killed her! As if we needed more proof that Luan desperately needs therapy...
    • Not all allergies that cause swelling are fatal, though. Lana wasn't even scared, just annoyed, so it's likely her allergy isn't severe.
  • Worse yet, her prank on Lucy is dumping a bucket of bleach on the poor girl. Bleach is a very caustic chemical, which can cause severe burns, and damage to the eyes, lungs and even the entire nervous system. Could you imagine what would have happened if the trap was triggered by Lily, a small baby?
  • Rita's trap actively involved using an at-risk Lily as bait, requiring her to save her infant daughter from a scenario that would very likely kill the baby with scant seconds worth of leeway. Summary: Luan purposefully and repeatedly put Lily in mortal peril just to force her family members to fall prey to the trap instead to prevent Lily's murder.
  • After he and Lincoln hide in the closet, Mr. Loud says "the roof is next". Think about that for a minute.
  • And the kicker? Mr. Loud was in on it, because Luan wanted an inside man. In exchange, he would get a prank-free decade.
  • And then you get the ending: Luan threatens an even worse April Fools Day next year... especially for Mr. Loud.
  • On an unrelated note, the episode begins with the siblings holding a meeting to discuss escaping Luan's pranks. Luna's plan is to post bad reviews of the store where Luan buys her pranking supplies. The only reason they don't do it is Lincoln telling them Luan stocked up her pranking supplies and moved them to a warehouse. Let that sink in for a while, the Louds were willing to put a store out of business.
• Many things in the show bring up serious concerns about Rita and Lynn Sr.'s competency as parents, a couple of them bordering on Nightmare Fuel. Firstly, there's the issue of putting Lily (a baby) in the same room as Lisa, who has no qualms about experimenting on her sisters, using dangerous chemicals and copious amounts of electricity (and on that note, it should be pointed out that Lisa herself has already suffered radiation poisoning strong enough to cause her teeth and hair to fall out). Secondly, they are pretty neglectful as well, not even noticing when their children are removing all of their furniture to sell at a garage sale, or sitting on the sidelines when fights get outright violent between the siblings (one incident even had the children rolling around in their own filth with dangerous vermin scurrying about). But most damningly of all, is the episode No Such Luck, where they kick their son out of the house, sell all of his stuff and force him to sleep outside, based on the belief that he's bad luck. It's honestly a wonder why Child Protective Services haven't been paying that house a visit or two, because, had it not been a cartoon, it's very likely one of the kids would have wound up dead as a result.
  • A point to this from "Cover Girls": Their spontaneous spring cleaning occurred and was expected to rope in every family member. Normal enough, before you note what the siblings were up to when getting Lincoln to cover them. While several of the siblings were doing things that were perfectly blockable, like shopping and mud wallowing, a few of them like Lisa and Luan were doing things that clearly had to be planned in advance, a lecture and a party respectively, things that were very likely for earning personal money. It looks bad on Rita and Lynn Sr. if they either A: did not realize their daughters were doing this and saw damaging their reputations as karma, or B: they didn't care about their commitments in the first place.
  • Again, look above at what Luan calls "going easy" on her family in regards to her pranks on April Fuel's day (goes into even more detail in Nightmare Fuel). It's a wonder that they A). never considered getting her professional help and B). actually allow her to continue these pranks that could seriously end in tragedy.
  • In "Read Aloud", while it's of course played for Black Comedy, Rita seems disturbingly okay with the idea of chaining Lola in the attic to win the reading contest, because pizza is at stake.
  • They also seem to have a hint of Pushover Parents, seeing how they allow their kids to exhibit their bad habits, do nothing to stop or convince Luan to tone down her pranks, and so on.
• In the episode "Garage Banned" Lana appears to suffer from chronic nightmares. Over the course of the episode, Lana seeks the comfort of an older sister three times, and it's implied that this is a frequent occurrence. While this could be considered heartwarming due to Lana finding comfort with her older sisters, Lana could be suffering from what could be a serious condition such as dream anxiety disorder.
  • It's probably not a serious condition. Little kids have more nightmares than adults.
• Similar to the Fridge Horror that is Pinecest in the Gravity Falls fandom, shipping between Lincoln and Lori, Luan, Lynn, Lana or Lisa must be at least a little creepy and upsetting for Chris since those five are named after his real life sisters. Luna and Lola being shipped with Lincoln may be more or less creepy depending on your perspective since they're both named after family dogs and the remaining girls are named names Chris and his wife would have given their daughter/s if they had them.
  • If it helps he confirmed that the five sisters whose names were borrowed from sisters do not act like their real life counterparts. The real Lisa isn't a borderline-aspie super genius and real Lynn isn't a sports girl with strange bathroom habits. So there is some barrier between the real sisters and the ones people are writing incest about.
• This vlog says Lana found all of their pets and cried until the pets were allowed to be kept. How exactly did Lana find these animals? Were they abandoned? Did they run away, if yes, why? Were they lost? Did something happen to their previous owners (if they had any) preventing said owners from taking care of them?
  • "Head Poet's Anxiety" reveals that Lana was a baby when she found them, meaning she can't have been walking along and found them in an alleyway or something. She probably found them in a pet store.
• More of a Fridge Tear Jerker, but the ending of "Snow Way Out" is a bit hollow if you think about it: Bobbie Fletcher offered Lana a position in her pit crew when she turns 18. Lana is currently 6, meaning she must wait 12 years before she can realize her dream. By that time, Bobbie will likely have either retired from racing or at the very least be nearing the end of her career (sporting careers never seem to last an especially long time, as it becomes more impractical and dangerous the older the participants become), meaning that the events of that episode would have been utterly pointless in the end.
  • Not necessarily. The offer was for a position in Bobbie's pit crew, which would still be true if she transitioned from driver to crew chief and/or owner. Granted, it wouldn't be quite the same but it wouldn't be pointless.
• Another Fridge Tear Jerker would be with "Along Came a Sister". Frank laid eggs, and anyone who's read Charlotte's Web would know what happens to a spider after laying an egg sac...
  • Have heart, this doesn't happen with tarantulas (which Frank is stated to be) - the females can live up to 40 years, and actually take care of the eggs until they've hatched...which is a bit of Fridge Horror, in itself, since she wasn't given her eggs back.
• Applying everything we know of Lynn right now does not paint a pretty picture of her psyche:
  • She's a sports junkie that becomes very aggressive in order to get what she wants, and will quickly resort to violence if she sees it fit.
  • She hates losing so much, that losing in a board game, which is a fairly insignificant loss compared to her wins, causes her to go nuts in an effort to try and recover it.
  • She also has a bad habit of not taking responsibility for her actions or helping people about it (For example, in "The Loudest Yard", she could've revealed that she acted like Lincoln so he didn't have to go to a game clearly unprepared, but for some reason didn't.)
  • The only sister she seems particularly close to, that we know of, is Lucy. That's it. The other sisters either tolerate her or don't pay attention to her. And the younger girls sometimes act actively afraid of her, as seen when Lisa reacts to getting a noogie by running off screaming.
  • Notably the episode 'Middle Men' made it clear that her level of aggressiveness behavior had amped up as a result of sixth grade hardships. She's about an eighth grader, which raises two concerning possibilities: all of the problems came to be in the last two years as a result of school stress and thus all of this is fairly new, or the issues always existed and were just made worse in that time. Either way is rough.
    • This is even sadder because, as mentioned above, her siblings are afraid of her. Not all the time but we know that at least Lisa finds being given a noogie enough to warrant screaming.
• In "Change of Heart", Lori does everything she can to get Clyde to love her again, even though she's made it clear time and time again that she doesn't reciprocate his feelings. This episode also takes place after "The Loudest Mission", which deals with Bobby, Lori's boyfriend, moving away, turning their relationship into a long-distance one. Knowing how long distance relationships have a higher chance of failing, and how Lori seemed outright possessive of Bobby, It's quite likely that Lori's using Clyde as some sort of replacement for Bobby, since he's the closest person nearby that actually loves her.
• Lori (Acts possessive of Bobby from time to time, and got Clyde to love her again despite not reciprocating his feelings), Luan (Becomes a monster on April Fools Day), Lynn (Gets so upset at losing in a board game that she goes nuts trying to prove she's the best), Lucy (Apparently a Goth from birth and deals with occultism), Lola (Quick to anger and has some narcissistic tendencies), and Lisa (Performs experiments with dangerous chemicals, and experiments on her siblings without their consent, to the point of electrocuting a baby) all have shown tendencies that would make the general person question if they're mentally healthy or even sane. The fridge horror comes from the fact that we don't know how they developed these traits.
  • While Lisa probably developed early into an adult judging by how she's already graduated college with a PhD, Lola is probably only doing questionable behaviour because young kids' frontal lobes aren't fully developed, so it's probable that she'll outgrow her questionable behaviour. As for Lucy, she didn't "get" her traits because, as mentioned, she had them from birth. And while it's unusual, some kids are just like that and they're fine.
• "Middle Men" and its revelation about the source of Lynn's aggressive behavior leads to some potential reasons behind certain sisters' behaviors... and they're not pleasant.
  • Lori could have dealt with sixth grade being awful by getting socially aggressive, warping her into the Alpha Bitch Clingy Jealous Girl of present day. Of course, like Lynn and her physical aggression, Lori can't turn this behavior off, badly damaging her relationships with her siblings and potentially even ultimately Bobby. It also explains why she would make threats like "turn you into a pretzel" since while her primary method of dealing with her classmates was social, she had to occasionally get physical.
  • Luna seems to have been entrenched in the rock sub culture by sixth grade given the flashback about how she got into rock due to Mick Swagger so it's likely she had made friends with at least some of her bandmates by that point and thus had some support that combined with her more laidback personality, made her less likely than Lynn to fight back; she also probably used music as an outlet that was healthier than Lynn's. Unfortunately, the bullying left Luna with massive scars on her self-esteem and physical state (what with her lack of breasts and Youthful Freckles), leading to periods of self-doubt (see "L Is For Love") and her being able to be easily manipulated by perceived authority figures (see "Really Loud Music").
    • Alternatively, as there is some flip-flop how old she was, she got into her friend-group while being mistreated. Similar result, similar traumas.
    • Freckles don't come from psychological stuff. Lack of breasts can, but it usually has to be very serious, like anorexia.
  • Luan probably got aggressive with pranks and her comedienne persona, leading to her April Fool's antics and while she's better than Lynn and Lori about turning her aggression off, she still channels it into April Fool's Day, which either never falls on a school day in this universe so her siblings don't know she targets everyone with her antics or said antics got April Fool's Day turned into a day off just so the school didn't have to deal with her. Alternatively, her potential school tragedies also left scars on her physicality (her buck teeth, flat chest, and braces, the first and latter of which she wasn't depicted with as a little girl in "Head Poet's Anxiety", but was as an approximate pre-teen in "Hand-Me Down") and mentality, as seen by her inability to handle criticism (see "No Laughing Matter"), reluctance to learn about cynical topics (see "Future Tense"), frequency to talk to her ventriloquist, and general hopeless idealism.
  • A bit of a heartwarming/brilliance to go with the horror: Leni. Leni seems to have no issue from it, which has two options. The Brilliance is the idea that Leni simply didn't notice it, but a heartwarming interpretation is that Lori, who despite all the negative things you can say about her, really does love Leni, was able to shield her from it. For all Lori is about human pretzels and twerps, that would be something she'd do.
    • On the sadder side, the above has a bit of bitter with the sweet since if the above theory about Luna's experiences is true, that means Lori either couldn't or didn't protect her like she did Leni and Leni, sweet as she is, probably was oblivious to Luna's troubles. Then, if that's all true, Luna neglected Luan who proceeded to neglect Lynn, making Lincoln the first Loud since Leni who had an older sibling at least try to help them not have an awful experience with sixth grade...and unlike Lori, Lynn failed.
    • It's also possible that the above did try to help their younger sibling (possibly even Leni helping Luna), but like Lynn failed without Lincoln's ability to impress regardless.
• As we've seen in "One of the Boys" which shows Lincoln living with 10 brothers, there's also the regular genderbend universe where the males are female and vice versa. So there's logically a universe where Linka has 10 sisters, who are likely Annoying Younger Siblings/Big Sister Bullies to her.
  • The universes don't exist, it was All Just a Dream.
• Clyde's parents are extremely overprotective of him. While it may seem like something a lot of parents do, keep in mind that they're an interracial, same-sex couple. Even today, same-sex couples and interracial couples are often targets for violent acts.
• Not exactly horror, but in "Room With a Feud", Lisa says her matchmaking machine to determine who would be the best roommates was originally intended to find Pop Pop a new lover but Lisa claims "he wasn't ready for love again" and given Myrtle's introduction in "Insta-Gran", this raises the question of what happened to the original Mrs. Pop Pop aka the kids' maternal grandma and Rita's mom.
  • She's most likely dead, and Pop Pop has only now gotten over her death.
• One that relies on Alternate Character Interpretation. At the end of "Mall of Duty", Lincoln's younger sisters have adopted a few ducklings. However, Lisa's duckling has a somewhat scared expression on its face. So, did Lisa succumb to Cuteness Proximity in one of her Not So Above It All moments... or did she find a new test subject...
  • Given Lana has a pet snake and that, from their size and appearance, the bats in the house are (probably) spectral bats (which eat other animals), it's likely the ducklings didn't last long...
    • If they can keep Walt safe, they can keep ducklings safe. Also, Fangs is only one bat. The only time there were several was in "12 Days of Christmas" and a few other occasions, and then, Fangs might've had relatives over.
• In the episode "Pipe Dreams", the parents wind up locked in the bathroom they built in secret with no way to stop the rapidly rising water from the broken shower, and when the kids get them out the wall of water that ensues appears to be taller than Lynn Jr. The horror sets in when one remembers that it was mentioned by Rita that the bathroom vents near the ceiling were electrified.
• Not really horrific, but still counts: "Rita Her Rights" has the titular mother getting community service due to racking up a bunch of parking tickets. The so-called horror sets in when you read this Instagram post, where Lori says that she wishes to have all her parking tickets forgiven, and also that nobody knows about said tickets. It's quite possible that none of those tickets are actually Rita's doing, and she's getting punished for her daughter's actions, while said daughter is getting away with it.
  • As I recall Rita did comment about ticket numbers in a way that suggested some of them were hers. Still, Lori's tickets were held against her in all likelihood.
• Want to make "No Such Luck" even more frightening, the fact that Lynn threatened Lincoln with a baseball bat if he didn't go to her game is the cause of the plot, what if he said no? Let that sink in for a bit.
  • It might have been an empty threat to intimidate Lincoln.
• While the idea of Lola being homeschooled on account of her not being able to read is cute, three lines from other episodes imply that Lola's a bad student in another sense...
  • Firstly, in "Rita Her Rights", Lola herself says that her teacher takes breaks a lot. Not bad by itself, but then she elaborates that he does so by screaming in a empty locker...
  • Then, in "Ruthless People", Mr. Loud makes a deal with his wife to trade places with her. His end of the deal involves him going to the next 20 parent-teacher conferences that Mrs. Loud is going to. Notice how she emphasizes, "Lola's included..."
  • And finally, in "School of Shock", Miss Allegra (who had Lola as a student prior to Season 5) says that she used to consider Lola as the worst Loud she ever had to teach before Lisa.
  • Now, taking those three sentences into account, and knowing how Lola is normally like at home...
• If Clyde has two dads, where is his mom? Also, apparently, he's adopted, which brings the question where are his birth parents?
• Where is Bobby and Ronnie Anne's dad? He was mentioned in "A Tale of Two Tables" but never appeared and given they moved away in "Relative Chaos", something must have happened.
  • It's since been revealed that Ronnie Anne and Bobby's parents are divorced. Sure, it's been implied that they're still be on good terms, but it's still upsetting if you think about it.
• Episodes like "Room with a Feud" prove that Lily and Lori are very similar. Both of them are phone-aholics, have blond hair... and have farting problems. While Lily is a baby, Lori is 17. Look back to the "fact" that exposure to Lisa's chemicals are Lily's diapers are toxic, and fast forward to the future. If Lily still has those toxic farts at the age of 17, think of how many medical emergencies everyone around her might have to deal with. What kind of damage can those toxic farts do, and how much money would the damages total to?
  • As mentioned above, the dirty diapers probably aren't actually toxic, they just smell bad. If they were toxic, Lily would have seemed sick or had weirder symptoms, and when she messes her diaper, nothing worse than people being grossed out happens.
• Lisa mentions having a giraffe cranium in “Friend or Faux?”. Seriously, how did she even GET that, and how would Darcy react if she saw it?
  • She's seen talking to other scientists in "The Mad Scientist", so maybe she got it from them. Darcy would probably be grossed out.
• Again in “Friend or Faux?”, Lisa can apparently talk to extraterrestrials, which raises the question of how she learned about them.
  • She's not saying she can talk to them, she's implying she'll be able to in the future.
• Lana, a six-year-old, does electrical work by herself. Given that she also eats out of the garbage, this girl definitely has a death wish.
  • Going further into the fact that she eats trash, there are two interpretations of that. One, it's just a phase and she'll stop doing it soon. Or two, it's actually a case of her having Pica. ^note Pica is when someone has cravings for and eats things that are not food or otherwise have no nutritional value. Even worse, nobody seems to know or even care about this, not even the parents. If it's not a phase then it can easily get worse over the years as the things she eats become more and more hazardous and take a serious toll on her overall health. Shouldn't they at least bring her to a doctor or even ask Lisa to look into it?
    • Then again, considering Lisa's around, maybe Lisa has confirmed ages ago that it's not pica. As for the electrical work, she may be six but considering that she's able to be good at it, she's very dexterous for her age.
• Episodes show that Lucy sleeps in a coffin... with the lid shut. Let’s all hope it has air holes...
• Lucy and Haiku have been known to dig graves. Meaning they have into contact with corpses at eight and eleven years old.
  • Not that they'd mind.
• In "Snow Way Out", Flip leaves the loud family to freeze to death in the Burpin Burger. Had Lana not given him the winning ticket, Lincoln and his sisters would've died. Even worse is how Flip only cares about the ticket, which is why he came back. Which shows what an asshole he is.
• Luna's makeover in the Musical Episode is unsettling because she's the only one to pretty much have her personality erased. And she is already established to have self-esteem issues and it's entirely possible that Doug and Michelle were trying to erase her tomboyish looks because they made her supposedly unattractive.
  • And they're confident that she'll listen to them and do everything exactly as they say without question or retaliation. How many potential hitmakers have they done this to and ruined forever? Because it's likely that their "projects" either A) kept up the makeovers and were successful in the music industry but were miserable forever or B) couldn't keep up the act and fell into career-ending (and possibly even life-ending) depressions. Which makes their basic Karma Houdini sting even more; they aren't just getting it for what they did to Luna but for every single person they likely did it to before her.
• Season 4 episodes like "Friended!" and "Face The Music" flesh out Ronnie Anne's history and provides a potential Freudian Excuse for her early behavior in the series.
  • "Friended!" revealed that her parents were divorced and her father moved away. It's a known fact that divorces can have a detrimental effect on their children and their personalities, especially since Ronnie Anne is alone at home most of the time doing chores.
  • "Face The Music" shows Ronnie Anne being heckled in a school play when she was younger, and she was very upset. It's experiences like these that urges her to be rougher and tougher to everyone so she won't be made fun of again, even Lynn would relate.
• In "No Guts, No Glori", Cliff poops outside the litter box several times. In real life, when cats poop (or pee, for that matter) in the wrong place, it's a sign of either stress (which is unlikely since there wasn't anything stressful going on for a cat) or a medical condition. Let's hope they got Cliff to the vet soon.
• In "Stage Plight", Luan and Benny play the title characters in a school play of Romeo and Juliet. Now, at the end of that play, both protagonists die, by suicide no less. That means that not only do the cheerful Luan and Benny end up acting out a very tearjerking, grisly scene (offscreen), but when you see the audience, the twins are there. So that means two six-year-olds watched a play where their big sister plays a character who kills herself.
• "Ghosted!" and "Bad Cluck" from The Casagrandes confirms that ghosts, both friendly and hostile, are very real in this universe. Suddenly, Lucy's club doesn't sound so stupid after all...
• In "Strife of the Party", Flip gets injured and must wear a neck brace. In "Blinded by Science", it's revealed that Flip's liver is in his neck, so he almost died!
• Lincoln's Christmas gift was a backpack, which means he'll be expected to use it, mostly for taking to school, but he traded it away since he forgot to get Lola a present. How would the family react if they found out about it?
  • Well, since it was Luna who got Lincoln the backpack, and that she didn't seem too upset that Lincoln never opened it, I figure that if she was okay with it, the rest of the family would be as well.
• As shown in "Shell Shock", Bobby (at least before moving to Great Lakes city) works about twelve jobs at once. If Larry Needlemeyer is anything to go by, that can't be good for Bobby's physical and mental health, and it's a wonder he has any time off at all.
  • He's shown having several jobs during the first two seasons before moving to the city, but they weren't all at once. From the same episode, Bobby gets into his lifeguard uniform and runs off, resulting in Ronnie Anne telling him the pool's closed that time of the year. So yes, he has a lot of jobs, but they're not all at once.
    • Even so, it's somewhat worrying that after he gets home from his last job, he has to immediately get ready for his next one.
• "A Fridge Too Far" has the kids booby trapping the refrigerator. When Lori checks the fridge, her arm is bitten by a snapping turtle, which can bite fingers off. If it was a little more realistic, Lori's arm would've been amputated. Also, turtles are cold blooded creatures, so placing it in the refrigerator would've at least caused some discomfort if not worse.
• In "Love Birds", Charles, Cliff, and Geo borrow Lisa's space heater for Walt's date. Lisa was using said heater to incubate some crocodile eggs. Hopefully the pets returned it before the eggs became too cold...
• Flip being a freak of nature is pretty amazing, if gross... at least until you start to wonder just how he became that way...
• When Ronnie Anne breaks the news to Lincoln and Lori about them moving to Great Lakes City, Lori furiously drives there with Lincoln in tow. As they go through the "not my girlfriend" routine again, Lori has a borderline psychotic response: "We are literally crossing a bridge, do you really want to get into an argument with me right now?!". Was she really going to cause some sort of traffic accident if Lincoln didn't stop talking right there and then?
  • I took that as Lori basically telling Lincoln not to distract her or else they'd get in an accident.
• In "11 Louds A-Leapin'", Lincoln hides from Mr. Grouse in the fireplace, which the latter nearly tosses a lit match into before realizing he needs more wood. If Grouse hadn't realized that, Lincoln would almost certainly have been burned alive.
• In "Cheater By The Dozen", Lori outright threatens to beat her siblings when they nearly crash her date with Bobby over a misunderstanding, and it's stated by Lynn that Lori did it to her with a loaf of bread once. Considering all the roughhousing the siblings often do engage in when things blow up, it may not be an empty threat...
  • Not to mention Lily is with them.
• After the Loud Kids disrupt the wedding in "Time Trap!", the new timeline they create includes a Mr. Grouse who's happy and healthy, a Flip who runs a decently managed and MUCH cleaner convenience store, and a Mr. and Mrs. Loud who are having the time of their lives traveling the world without kids. They even have a cleaner, more intact house too. Is this timeline implying that the lives of these people would be better off without the Loud Siblings? Then again, it does feature a Chunk who gave up music for running a junkyard, said Loud couple becoming Child Haters, and Lincoln's friends who have become jerks from hanging out with Chandler, and also the stuff with Flip wasn't because of their nonexistence per se but because of some spilt juice, but it's still sad to think about.
  • Also, Lisa and Lily restore the timeline by shoving the past siblings in a maintenance closet and then hijacking Vanzilla. That means there were 11 kids trapped in a closet, and they may have potentially died when stuck in there. Even if they escaped, who knows what could have happened to them. One can only hope they vanished from existence when the timeline is restored...
• In "House Flip", after Lori severely injures Flip with Vanzilla, she and the brothers kidnap him from the hospital to prevent him from telling their parents the truth and, consequently, Lori is banned from driving Vanzilla. And for that, nothing better than them hiding him... in their own house! In addition to the sheer absurdity of hiding an adult inside your home for a month without your parents ever noticing, it would also set a dangerous precedent: what if Flip was a pedophile? He would have sexually abused Lincoln or any of his sisters and their parents would never know. And to tell you the truth... Who can guarantee that Flip didn't abuse anyone?^note Fortunately, the most perversion he demonstrates in the episode is forcing Luna and Luan to receive pies in their faces.
• "White Hare": Why would a rabbit offer a foot of their species as a lucky charm? Wouldn't that, in the context of a rabbit-centric world, constitute as a Creepy Souvenir? Did Bernice tear that foot from somebody?
  • It could just be a fake foot or replica.
