Recap / The Really Loud House S 1 E 17 Some Buddy To Love

Go To

With the parents run dry by their kids' antics, they pair the kids together for a day to give themselves some time off.

Tropes:

  • Beam-O-War: Lucy and Lisa engage in this in the basement. The resulting clash between the Power of the Sun and chaos magic ends up blowing both back and ruining Leni's mannequin.
  • Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Luna and Luan basically compose the show's theme song.
  • Late for School: The episode starts with Lynn Sr. waking up at 6:49 AM, leading to him and Rita frantically trying to get the kids ready for school within 11 minutes. Subverted when Clyde shows up and reveals it's Saturday.
  • Magic Versus Science: Lucy (magic) and Lisa (science) have this dynamic.
  • Mythology Gag: The balls Lynn Sr. uses for his buddy raffle depict the animated versions of the Loud siblings.
  • Overused Running Gag: Lincoln's first appearance in this episode has him walk out of his room and try his usual Breaking the Fourth Wall shtick. Unfortunately, since the kids are supposedly running late for school, Rita is quick to stop him from continuing.
  • The Power of the Sun: Lisa harnesses the power of the supernova in her plasma accelerator.
  • Uranus Is Showing: Lana's favorite planet is Uranus.
