The Really Loud House is a live-action TV series based on the Nickelodeon cartoon The Loud House, and a sequel to the live-action film A Loud House Christmas. Originally developed for Paramount+, it premiered on Nickelodeon on November 3, 2022. As in the animated series, the show focuses on Lincoln Loud, who spends his days trying to survive in a family of 10 sisters.
Reprising their roles from the Christmas film are Wolfgang Schaeffer as Lincoln, Jahzir Bruno as Clyde, Lexi DiBenedetto as Lori, Sophia Woodward as Luna, Catherine Ashmore Bradley as Luan and Mr. Coconuts, Aubin Bradley as Lucy, Mia Allan as Lana, Ella Allan as Lola, Lexi Janicek as Lisa, and Brian Stepanek as Lynn Sr. (plus reprising his role as the voice of Todd the robot from the animated series). They star alongside Eva Carlton as Leni, Annaka Fourneret as Lynn, August Michael Peterson as Lily, and Jolie Jenkins as Rita.
"In the Loud Tropes! Really Loud Tropes!"
- Adaptational Jerkass: Normally sweet-natured and innocent Clyde is much more sarcastic and irritable in this series than he is in the cartoon. Likewise, Lincoln also counts. As he's a lot more selfish in this series, even wanting Clyde to fail when he takes over as the Man With A Plan.
- All There in the Script:
- In "Ro-Bro", Lincoln's classmate, Johnny, does not have his name mentioned in the dialogue, even by his brother. The episode also features a crossing guard named Roxanne and a sidewalk sweeper named Monty, who likewise do not have their names ever mentioned. Their names are all revealed by the credits.
- The teachers of most of the Loud siblings are never spoken out loud, but are mentioned in Rita's chart in "The Banana Split Decision" and in the credits.
- In "The Guy Who Makes You Fly", the mailman never has his name mentioned, and the credits simply list him as "Mailman". However, his name is confirmed to be Bob by the credits of A Really Haunted Loud House. The same episode also inverts this trope with the Hot N' Fast employee who delivers Lincoln's things; despite the employee addressing herself as Julie in the dialogue, the credits simply list her as "Delivery Woman".
- In "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", the girl painting the Kangaroo Court thrones, Sarah, never has her name mentioned out loud, but instead has it revealed via the credits.
- Inverted in "Home Is Where the Hero Is". Despite Rip Hardcore addressing his parrot as Fearless Pete, the credits simply list him as "Parrot V.O.".
- Most of the first-graders in "Spelling and Doorbelling" never have their names mentioned, instead having them mentioned in the credits. The only one whose name is mentioned in the dialogue is Denunzio. This also applies to Molly, one of Lynn's baseball teammates from the same episode.
- In "Better Together", Clyde's new friend from the BETR program, Wainwright, never has his name mentioned, save for the credits. Also in the same episode, an astronaut named Chris Field has her name written on her name tag, but nobody ever says it out loud, and the credits ignore her name, referring to her simply as "Astronaut".
- Inverted in "The Tennessee Surprise: Love Is in the Air". Although Clyde mentions that the DJ he impersonated is known as Skeeter and the Dump Truck, the credits simply list the name as "Radio DJ".
- And Starring:
- The opening credits end with "With Jolie Jenkins"note /"And Brian Stepanek".
- The end credits for the guest stars of "The Princess and the Everlasting Emerald: A Royal Woods Fairytale" end with "With Kevin Chamberlin as Flip Phillipini"/"And Stephen Tobolowsky as Walter Phillipini". (This only applies to Part 2, with Part 1's guest star credits listing them normally).
- Annoyingly Repetitive Child: In "Better Together", two-year-old Lily asks her father Lynn Sr. to play a song called "Little Baby Bunny" repeatedly, to the point where it annoys him by being in his head.
- Asshole Victim: Discussed in "The Banana Split Decision". According to Miss Tyte, Lynn once hip-checked another student during a vocabulary lesson, but she considers it a good thing because said student, Natalie, was supposedly "a lot", so she is glad that Lynn took Natalie out of commission for a few weeks.
- Big Little Sister: As in A Loud House Christmas, Luna and Luan are taller than Leni. This time, however, Luan is also taller than Lori.
- Billed Above the Title: In the opening credits, Wolfgang Schaeffer and Jahzir Bruno are listed ahead of the title.
- Birthday Episode: "The Macho Man With The Plan" is Lynn Sr.'s half-birthday episode.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: Lincoln carries over his habit of doing this from the animated series. Apparently in this universe, it seems to be an ability only one person can do without anyone noticing. When Lynn Jr. starts breaking the fourth wall as part of her sportscaster act in "The Chore Thing", the other Louds are baffled and annoyed by her antics. Similarly, in "The Guy Who Makes You Fly", once Clyde becomes the new Man With the Plan, he seemingly steals Lincoln's ability to break the fourth wall without anyone noticing; when Lincoln tries breaking the fourth wall afterwards, a mailman can hear him, much to his surprise. The beginning of "Some Buddy to Love" depicts Rita interrupting Lincoln as he breaks the fourth wall.
- Brutal Honesty: In "The Macho Man With The Plan", Leni is forced to admit she finds Lincoln really annoying. Then again, she's wearing a lie detector, and she's trying to tell the truth more often.
- Cordon Bleugh Chef: Downplayed with Lynn Sr.'s Lynn-chilada. While it isn't shown, it's apparently known for causing gastrointestinal distress. "The Blemish Dilemish" begins with Lisa getting a stomachache from the Lynn-chilada and believing it to be appendicitis.
- Demoted to Extra: Lori was already hit with this in Season 5 of the animated series, considering she's in college, but this is far more obvious here, where her and Lily's actors are listed as guest stars.
- "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: While the animated series' theme song was always sung in Lincoln's perspective, Wolfgang Schaeffer gets to do so in-character during the credits of "Some Buddy to Love". The chorus, used in the title sequence, is sung by the Loud sisters.
- Double-Meaning Title: The "Really" part of the title refers to two things: it emphasizes the chaotic life of the Loud family, and the fact that this is a Live-Action Adaptation.
- Exact Words: In a flashback in "The Macho Man With the Plan", the parents stumble upon Lola eating ice cream in a really large bowl that she's sitting in. She points out they said the kids could have one bowl of ice cream, and they didn't say how big.
- Failed a Spot Check: In "The Macho Man with the Plan", Rita and Lynn Sr. fail to realize that "Lincoln" is just Todd in disguise until a waiter accidentally spills water on him, causing the robot to short circuit and catch fire.
- Gassy Gastronomy:
- In the episode "Better Together", Mr. Bolhofner farts silently from eating beans.
- In "The Princess and the Everlasting Emerald: a Royal Woods Fairy Tale", Lana pretends to be a pageant queen when Flip mixes her up with Lola. She then gives herself away by farting (since she's The Pig-Pen) and she blames it on having eaten shrimp earlier.
- Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: "The Blemish Dilemish" has someone make a Voice Clip Song out of Lincoln's speech he made about having a butt pimple. According to Leni, it's gone viral and has been seen by 8 million people.
- Live-Action Adaptation: The second of The Loud House, after A Loud House Christmas.
- Melismatic Vocals: It seems to be a Running Gag that whenever Rita gets to sing, she will inevitably engage in a vocal run at some point.
- Mundane Made Awesome: A guinea pig making a long jump should not be awesome. But Lynn's bombastic speech and the camera angles certainly do make it that way.
- My Sister Is Off-Limits: Subverted in "Louder by the Dozen" when Lynn stops Lincoln from pursuing a relationship with her friend Zia.
- Nature Tinkling:
- Luan is forced to pee in the bushes in "The Chore Thing" with Lisa testing her Zapmaster 3000 in the bathroom. In the same episode, Rita mentions that she had to poop in the woods in a Noodle Incident that involved Lynn Sr. telling her to trust him.
- In "Ro-Bro", Lincoln is forced to go to the bathroom in the bushes with Lana's rooster using the bathroom.
- No Name Given:
- Johnny's older brother from "Ro-Bro" never has his name mentioned, and the credits even list him simply as "Cool Dude".
- The Polish dub (which localizes almost every character's name) does this with most of the Loud siblings' teachers in "The Banana Split Decision"; while they were given official names in the original version (that were not mentioned in the dialogue, but rather revealed by the Loud parents' chart and the credits), the dubbing credits do not state their localized names and instead simply list them as the teachers of specific siblings.
- The Rip Hardcore impersonator from "Home Is Where the Hero Is" never has his name disclosed.
- One-Steve Limit:
- Invoked in "The Macho Man With the Plan". Lisa is entering her robot, Todd, into a robot competition, but there's someone else who's also got a robot named Todd (and refuses to change it because his Todd is named after his recently deceased grandfather), so she's thinking of renaming her Todd.
- A similar thing also happened during production; Kevin, the student who murders the class pet iguana in "The Banana Split Decision", was originally named Todd, but his name was changed to avoid confusion with the robot.
- In "The Guy Who Makes You Fly", Clyde's first nickname is "The Man with the Plan", which he quickly throws out because it’s already Lincoln's nickname.
- Invoked in "The Macho Man With the Plan". Lisa is entering her robot, Todd, into a robot competition, but there's someone else who's also got a robot named Todd (and refuses to change it because his Todd is named after his recently deceased grandfather), so she's thinking of renaming her Todd.
- Out-of-Character Moment: Lola Loud is usually too much of a neat freak to bathe in a massive bowl of ice cream she is eating from.
- Pragmatic Adaptation: Being a live-action series, some changes naturally had to be made for the show in order to work.
- This was most prominent regarding Mr. Bolhofner. In the animated series, he's Ambiguously Brown and voiced by Caucasian James Arnold Taylor, and his classroom (from Season 5 onwards) is in a trailer separate from the main campus. Here, his classroom is integrated into the school, like in Season 3 of the animated series, and the Hof himself is played by white actor Brian Thomas Smith.
- In the animated series, Lana and Lola are missing their two front teeth. Their live-action actors, Mia and Ella Allan, do have their front teeth, so for A Loud House Christmas and Season 1, they simply have their front teeth painted black to mimic the effect. Season 2 does not bother to deal with the effect, so the twins begin Season 2 with their front teeth grown.
- Reading the Stage Directions Out Loud: In "Last Friend Standing", Rita accepts a call from the original host of Lynn's sleepover and reads her lines from a cue card Luan is holding up. While doing so, she reads the direction "excited" out loud.
Rita: "Termites? Oh, that's horrible. Of—of course we would—excited—love to have the sleepover at our house."
- School Rivalry: In one episode, it is revealed that Fairway University has a rival school called Smacktauk University, with most of their fights being over golf.
- Second Love: After his break-up with Charlie in "The Tennessee Surprise: Love Is in the Air" Lincoln gains a new love interest, Lynn's friend Zia, in "Louder by the Dozen".
- Secret Test of Character: The titular character of "Ro-Bro" is revealed at the end to be this, being an experiment made by Lisa to test Lincoln and Clyde's friendship.
- Ship Sinking: Charlie dumps Lincoln off-screen in "The Tennessee Surprise: Love Is in the Air".
- Tempting Fate: In "The Macho Man With the Plan", Lynn Sr. claims that Lucy does not scare him during daytime anymore, moments before Lucy did exactly that.
- The Voice: While not seen in person, Mick Swagger's (and, before "Spelling and Doorbelling", Mr. Grouse's) only appearances are via voice.
