Lincoln begins hanging out with the President more, which leads to a rivalry between him and Rick.
Rick and Morty episode: "The Rickchurian Mortydate"
Loud House episode: "Not a Loud"
- Action Politician: While we don't get to see him fight Rick like in canon, President Curtis still takes the shrinking pills himself and tries dealing with Rick in his own terms.
- Adaptational Context Change:
- Rather than yet another Clincoln Mc Cloud misadventure attempting to solve the circumstances of Lincoln's birth, it's a retelling of the Rick and Morty episode with elements of The Loud House episode. However, we already got to know that President Curtis and his wife (specifically her according to Rick) were involved with conceiving Lincoln much earlier; which means there's no reason for Lincoln and Clyde to make three ridiculous theories on how Lincoln was born.
- In the end, instead of a Final Battle between the POTUS and Rick using all sorts of ridiculous technology and carnage, we see them strike a compromise way sooner after the Loud siblings have Rick do so.
- The plot about Jerry and Beth's reconciliation and the whole "Clone Beth" gig is not recreated with the Louds here. Instead, Lincoln makes the POTUS and Rick fight each other just to stroke his self-esteem and for his amusement.
- Adaptational Nice Guy: Rick doesn't openly express his nihilism and Contemplate Our Navels attitude in this rendition of the episode, even though he is still a jerk towards the president. He also doesn't trick the president into believing he's another Rick.
- POTUS Curtis is willing to take a selfie with Lincoln after turning it down in their last meeting. This is one reason why his subsequent fight with Rick is averted, as unlike in canon, Curtis doesn't hold a grudge on Lincoln as much as he does with Rick.
- Adapted Out: Most of "Not a Loud", apart from Lincoln's birth, is cut off in favor of the Rick and Morty episode. This means Clyde's role is severely reduced in this episode.
- The Final Battle between POTUS and Rick is averted because the President took a selfie with Lincoln, and he and Rick make peace before their rivalry escalates because of the Louds.
- Always Someone Better: Just like in canon, Rick always tries to prove he's infinitely superior to him and the US government, one of the things he demonstrates is to show a trick at the school cafeteria the POTUS and Lincoln were eating on.
- The Commissioner Gordon: Still deconstructed regarding Rick's relationship with POTUS Curtis. The president's still pissed with Rick breaking federal laws a day.
- Operation: Jealousy: A platonic version. Lincoln intentionally spends time with the President much more just to make Rick envious for his own amusement. Rick easily catches on to it, much to Lincoln's stupor.
- Jerkass Ball: Lincoln reveals he wanted to have Rick and President Curtis fight over him just for his own amusement. Rick easily catches up to his ploy in the end, calling it a "dick move".
- Out of Focus / Demoted to Extra: Clyde doesn't play a major role in this adaptation unlike the original episode. That honor goes to Rick and the POTUS, as it is a retelling of the R&M episode.
- Respected by the Respected: Lincoln instantly gains popularity with the classmates in his school because of his now-revealed association with President Curtis. One classmate tries to sit next to Lincoln, followed by another, and then Mr. Goldenfold, of all people.
- Seen It All: While impressed, Lori isn't much baffled that the President uses a working portal technology, as the narration states that she'd be more impressed if it weren't for her constant adventures with Rick.
- Static Role, Exchangeable Character: Severely Downplayed. While he does replace the George Bush look alike from the original LH episode, President Curtis still plays a major role and is a persistent rival with Rick, as in Rick and Morty canon.
