    General examples for the franchise as a whole 
  • Fandom VIP: That Engineer, the author of Syngenesophobia and What is a Person Worth?, which are two of the most well-known fanfics out of the franchise (being the most famous ones out of a trend of fics continuing the episodes "Brawl in the Family" and "No Such Luck", respectively). Many members of the fandom have at least heard of one of those fics, even if they didn't read them, and some fellow writers were inspired by him or referenced his works in their own fics.
  • Fanwork-Only Fans: There are many people from the fandom who either stopped watching the franchise's official media for various reasons or admit they've never watched it, and find the many fan works out of it more interesting than the actual franchise.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: In the live-action media:
    • Lucy keeping her Eyes Out of Sight hairstyle via use of a wig for her actress looks rather awkward and doesn't work as well in live-action as it did in cartoon style, to say the least.
    • Mr. Coconuts retains his cartoon design from the animated/comic media, even though he's a real ventriloquist puppet now, so he looks completely distanced from the live-action cast.

General examples for the main series:

    Sub-pages 

    A-D 
  • Alternate Self Shipping: Occasionally, you'll see one of the Loud siblings shipped with their gender-flipped counterpart from the canon episode "One of the Boys".
  • Alternative Joke Interpretation:
    • In "Washed Up", the boat sputters, and Leni blushes, thinking it's one of her bodily noises. But does she think she's gassy, or that her stomach is rumbling? The former would be more embarrassing, but the latter makes more sense when she tries justifying it by saying that she "only" had yogurt for breakfast.
    • In "Come Sale Away", Lily's blanket is unaccounted for, so she starts crying and her older siblings, believing they'd sold it, run off to buy it back. However, they're less focused on cheering Lily up and more focused on competing to see who buys the blanket first, then Lily looks at the camera with an unamused face. Is it the joke that Lily actually knew all along that her siblings didn't sell her blanket and was feigning sadness to guilt-trip them, or was she genuinely sad but just offended at their Skewed Priorities?
  • Aluminum Christmas Trees:
  • Angst? What Angst?:
    • Lincoln is very well-adjusted, and even when things go wrong his reactions tend to be downplayed compared to how they would likely be in real life; most notably the events of "No Such Luck". Likely justified given the daily chaos of living with ten other siblings, however. That being said, in that episode, Lincoln sounded more exasperated and annoyed than any indignation or resentment if it happens to any traumatized kid in real life.
    • In "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos", despite having cried with Lori before leaving Royal Woods, Bobby cheers up way too quickly as he and his family come to the Casagrande apartment, to the point of being excited at moving in with the Casagrandes indefinitely, even though it meant being away from Lori for much longer than he expected.
    • In "Time Trap!", Lynn Jr. doesn't seem all that concerned about her siblings being erased from existence. When Lori vanishes, Lynn calls dibs on her mattress while everyone else appropriately freaks out, and when Luan glitches away, Lynn just complains that they won't hear the end of her joke (and then she considers that a silver lining a second later, and walks away).
  • Anvilicious: Although the morals themselves are actually pretty subtle (relatively speaking), there are a lot of episodes that generally tend to impart some sort of life lesson to the viewer. Sometimes, several within the same episode. Unfortunately, some other lessons that can be seen and learned easily tend to get ignored by the characters.
  • Ass Pull:
    • In "Brawl in the Family", the fact that everyone, even Bobby, knows the Sister Fight Protocol, yet Lincoln is unaware of it despite living in the house for all of his life. Plus there is the fact that the sister's Protocol was never shown or mentioned before and is never seen or mentioned again afterward. It’s more than likely that none of the sisters bothered to tell Lincoln, not wanting him to deal with such time-wasting nonsense, but the fact that Bobby knows of it makes this humorously illogical. To add insult to injury, as Lucy states at the beginning, "It’s a Sister Thing", so why should the male Bobby, who's not even part of the family, know about such a situation?!
    • In "L is for Love", all of the siblings are suddenly revealed to have love interests who, with the exception of Bobby, have never been seen or mentioned before, and in most cases are not seen or mentioned again after this episode (so far, only Sam, Chaz and Benny managed to stick). Lincoln and Lucy's love interests, Paige and Silas, are particularly notable, since both of them already had different love interests before this episode (Lincoln had Cristina and Ronnie Anne, and Lucy had Rocky), and Lincoln even gets a new crush later (Stella).
    • In "Fool Me Twice", Luan is somehow able to convince her family's stunt doubles to turn on their employers, despite the fact she was asleep when the stunt doubles walked in. It's also never explained why the stunt doubles were all so quick to turn on the other Louds.
    • The ending of "Much Ado About Noshing" reveals that Lynn Sr. had been using his butt to send dislikes to his restaurant. This revelation ends up looking incredibly forced, since it raises the question how Lynn Sr. could possibly butt-dial tons of dislikes in rapid succession and the fact he even accidentally sent dislikes when he was clearly standing in one scene. All this serves to make sure Lynn Sr. doesn't learn to take criticism. Even worse, this ending means the Loud siblings having to suffer by pleasing Mr. Grouse, Huggins, Flip, and Scoots' unreasonable standards was all for nothing. And to add insult to injury, they have to do it all over again for a whole year to make it up to them because Lynn Sr. jumped to conclusions and insulted them.
    • In "Family Bonding," the reveal that the entire Miller family, even the child, works for S.U.S.P.E.N.S.E, a secret organization that plots to sabotage the economies of cities that export any fruits other than Georgia peaches. All this to make sure Lincoln doesn't learn to see the best in people. Worse still, this ending reveals that the experience has undermined the entire Loud family's faith in the goodness of any new neighbor who moves in.
  • Awesome Art: The animation is gorgeous, smooth, and crisp, with some very nicely colored backgrounds reminiscent of an old-school comic book. Special mention goes to the intro.
  • Cliché Storm: The show has a lot of elements that have been done to death already. The concept is a (mostly) simplistic and anvilicious slice of life cartoon, with a Loser Protagonist who's a young boy that has to fix whatever issue he gets himself in to avoid punishment. Said young boy also serves as the Only Sane Man and main Butt-Monkey of the show with that one friend who appears in almost every episode and has stereotypical siblings (a Big Sister Bully, a Spoiled Brat sibling, etc).
  • Continuity Lock-Out: Viewers who haven't seen "11 Louds a Leapin'" yet might wonder why Lynn Sr. and Rita are no longer The Faceless for most of Season 2 onwards.
  • Crack Pairing:
    • Luna/Carol Pingrey has a respectable share of fans despite its inexplicability (the two have never interacted as of yet).
    • Lincoln tends to get paired with many girls, including those he barely knows or has not met yet.
  • Creator's Pet: The fans absolutely DESPISE Flip, but the writers have featured him in more episodes than any other supporting character in the series.
  • Crosses the Line Twice:
    • In "The Sweet Spot", when Lincoln is figuring out who should sit near him so that they won't ruin the best seat in the family van on a family trip, he has several flashbacks about how much his sisters ruined every other trip for him, one of them being Lori getting carsick and vomiting on Lincoln... and snapping a picture of the result.
    • The destruction of Fenton the Feel-Better Fox in "The Crying Dame". In-Universe, this is a dramatic moment, as it means that the siblings won't be able to bring it back to Lily to cheer her up. However, the way its destruction is amped up to eleven (it's dropped in a machine, then crushed, then one of its eyes springs, then it catches on fire) makes the scene darkly hilarious.
    • In "City Slickers", Lincoln and Lori are heading to the city where Ronnie Anne and Bobby have moved, and Lincoln is excited to spend the day with Ronnie Anne, he even imagines what'll happen: Having pie shoved into his pants, getting pantsed on the big screen, and getting pushed out of a train they were on. What's more is that Lincoln is actually expecting it out of enjoyment.
      Lincoln: (sighs dreamily) I've missed her.
  • Crossover Ship: There are actually fans who pair up Maria Santiago with Darlene Patel, due to both being doctors from Nickelodeon shows who are mothers to one of the main characters. Fan art like this helps out.
  • Designated Hero: The Loud sisters fall into this whenever they're thrown the Jerkass Ball. Lincoln is by no means a saint either, but we're rarely if ever supposed to see him as being in the right when he does something selfish. When his sisters do so, on the other hand, they rarely if ever face repercussions for it. Quite a few episodes have them being completely oblivious and/or ignorant of the abuse they put Lincoln through and typically getting away with it. They also often meddle in Lincoln's life, sometimes to suit their own needs, which can have negative consequences for him and can be very intrusive, not respecting his privacy. "The Sweet Spot", "Sound of Silence", "Sleuth or Consequences", "Brawl in the Family" and "No Such Luck" are notable episodes that elicited this reaction (and it doesn't help the latter episode's case that Chris Savino himself chastised fans on Facebook for defending Lincoln). Thankfully, after Season 2 the writers seem to have finally stopped throwing Lincoln and his sisters the Jerkass Ball (as much).
  • Designated Monkey: A lot of fans have felt that Lincoln has become one. Most of the time he gets hurt, humiliated, pushed around, or just generally has bad things happen to him for no reason whatsoever.note  And even when he does deserve it, the punishments he receives tend to be too much or too harsh to really find amusing. Additionally, he is usually the only one who is wrong and needs to learn a valuable life's lesson, while his sisters get off scot-free and their mistakes are almost always Played for Laughs. Again, episodes from Season 3 onward tend to tone down this aspect, with all the kids being punished or learning something, but it hasn't completely gone away.
  • Designated Villain:
    • Sue, the retirement home nurse. She may be a stickler for the rules and a killjoy in everything fun, but her job is to keep the retirement home and the seniors living there safe, and if anything happens to the old folks, she'll be responsible.
    • Stern Fern, the usher from "On Thin Ice", is seen as the bad guy for doing her job (and for being a fan of the opposing hockey team).
    • Bosley Bullsworth, the tour guide from "Bringing Down the House". He may be a Small Name, Big Ego type who takes his job way too seriously, but he's only trying to enforce the rules and make sure the President's birthday party goes smoothly, and the Louds did legitimately do damage to the White House, making his behavior seem justified. The episode tries to paint him as the bad guy by having him threaten to have the Louds locked up in the White House's dungeon, but since we never actually see said dungeon, for all we know Bosley just made it up to scare the Louds into following the rules, and the secretary was in on it. However, if it is real and it’s being done with the President’s approval, wouldn’t that make him the bad guy as well as Bosley?
  • Die for Our Ship:
    • Ronnie Anne Santiago received backlash from the Loudcest shippers very quickly, even more after the events of "Save the Date". After she moved away to star in her own Spin-Off, some of the hate transferred over to Lincoln's new friend Stella. Not all mind you, as Lincoln and Ronnie Anne still visit each other regularly.
    • Lynn often gets this treatment as well, due to how popular shipping her and Lincoln is.
    • You're either a shipper of Loudcest, thus wishing for the other characters to die to save your headcanon pairing, or you're a shipper between Lincoln, or somebody else with somebody, in which case you'll want Lincoln or the sisters to die instead.
    • To most shipping-oriented Lucy fans, her fling with her Distaff Counterpart Silas in "L is for Love" never happened. Rocky and Lincoln are her only love interests, besides her Cargo Ship with Edwin the vampire bust. A lot of shipping fan art features the Loud siblings with their love interests from "L is for Love" except for Lucy and Lincoln.
    • Many Luaggie shippers were less than pleased over how Luan wasn't the one revealed to have a female crush in "L is for Love". As such, they tend to face a lot of rivalry between the Luan/Benny shippers.
    • Leni/Chaz shippers don't like the fact that Leni and Chaz have apparently broken up from "Undercover Mom" and The Loud House Movie onwards, and as such consider her later love interests (like Scott from The Loud House Movie and Gavin from "Food Courting") Fanon Discontinuity.
  • Draco in Leather Pants:
    • While Lincoln's a good kid at heart, he still can be selfish and rude at times. A lot of fanworks that apply the Ron the Death Eater trope to Lincoln's sisters likewise tend to minimize or even flat-out ignore Lincoln's own flaws or the episodes in which he acts like a jerk, in order to ensure the reader will root for him. While it is true that Lincoln often gets the short end of the stick in both canon and fanworks alike, his negative attributes are often removed completely or at least downgraded to the point the detractors derisively nicknames this as "Saint Lincoln."
    • Just like how Lincoln also isn't safe from Ron the Death Eater, the sisters themselves aren't safe from this one, as many people will go too far in defending them, even when they DO act horribly.

    E-G 
  • Epileptic Trees:
    • There's a fairly popular theory among fans that Lincoln is actually adopted, due to his white hair and the fact that he's just generally different from the rest of his family. Not surprisingly, this theory became even more popular after the episode "Not a Loud" was announced and that episode's premise (Lincoln thinking his family is hiding something from him) became known (even though the episode ultimately jossed the theory). A similar theory is that at least one of the sisters is adopted as well.
    • A number of the Loud siblings, mainly Leni, Lola, Lisa, Luan, Lucy, Lynn, and even Lincoln are often theorized to have various unspecified neurological disorders, ranging from autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar and anti-social Personality disorder. Such disorders also tend to run in families.
    • Another popular theory is that Lily is actually Lori or Leni's daughter.
    • Another Lily-related theory is that she's going to grow up to become a gamer, thanks to a well-made fanmade gif.
  • Fan-Disliked Explanation: Some fans dislike the story of how Lincoln was born in "Not a Loud" for how outlandish it is. Basically, Vanzilla broke down on the way to the hospital, so Lincoln was delivered by the President and the First Lady, who happened to be passing by.
  • Fandom-Enraging Misconception: Never spell Leni and Luan as "Lenny" and "LuAnn" to a fan of the show, unless you want to get some angry looks.
  • Fanfic Fuel:
    • "No Such Luck" has spawned more fanfics than probably any other episode of the series. They are mostly fix fics and AUs which realistically address the issues that would ensue from Lincoln being locked outside, often being tear jerking by nature. Revenge Fics are also very common.
    • Any episode that has become infamous in the fandom (like "The Green House", "Raw Deal", or "Brawl in the Family") will usually spawn fix fics that will fix at least something about it to make it less obnoxious to get through.
    • "One of the Boys" has spawned a lot of fanfics involving Linka Loud and her brothers, including gender-bent rewrites of various episodes.
    • Two particular fuels are brought by "The Loudest Mission" (and this is the main reason why many fans think that this special was a Poorly Disguised Pilot):
      • 1) As far as anybody knows, the house that used to be the Santiago residence is on sale. Who's going to take it?
      • 2) What sort of misadventures would Ronnie and Bobby have with their relatives?
    • "L Is for Love" because of all the shipping potential.
    • "Middle Men" has started to spawn a few fanfics detailing Lynn's experiences in sixth grade.
  • Fan Nickname: Lori has been called "Pacifica" by some people due to her strong facial resemblance with the character of the same name from Gravity Falls.
  • Fanon Discontinuity:
    • Due to how polarizing the later seasons are due to their Denser and Wackier nature, the more conservative-minded fans just watch the first three or, depending on who you ask, four seasons and completely ignore the later ones.
    • The fact that "Study Muffin" depicts all of the sisters as having feelings for Hugh, including Lori, who's already dating Bobby, makes it clear why some fans who have already been used to Bobby prefer that the episode never existed.
    • Fans prefer to pretend "Brawl in the Family" and "No Such Luck" don't exist, due to how the characters act uncharacteristically stupid and cruel and how much unnecessary suffering Lincoln undergoes in both episodes.
    • In regards to the April Fools' episodes:
      • Fans of Luan don't especially how the episodes portray her as a cruel sociopath. Though, in "Fool Me Twice" and "Silence of the Luans", her family manages to give her some much-needed karma and even prank her hard enough to get her to regret her insanity.
      • Some fans still disregard "Silence of the Luans" due to the fact that Lily handles the Jerkass Ball through her torturous pranks on her terrified family as a deliberate attempt to rekindle Luan's love of April Fools' pranking. Not helping is the ending, where Luan goes back on her promise from "Fool Me Twice," showing that she learned absolutely nothing in the end.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple:
    • Lincoln/Any-of-his-sisters is very prominent in the fandom, obvious Broken Base aside. Lynn/Lincoln (or "Lynncoln") is the most notable one, not only eclipsing the other incest pairings in popularity but also being the most popular couple in the fandom according to one Booru's poll. In comparison, the canon Ronnie Anne/Lincoln (or "Ronniecoln") is only the second most popular couple.
    • Luan/Maggie, the minor character from "Funny Business", quickly became an immensely popular pairing even though Maggie hasn't appeared in any other episodes, and she and Luan are practically incompatible. The Opposites Attract appeal of the couple is probably one of the biggest causes of the pairing's popularity. While "Stage Plight" debunked any chance of the two getting together in canon by showing Luan's actual love interest, Benny, the pairing is still popular.
  • First Installment Wins: Due to how polarizing the later seasons are, many fans prefer to watch the first three seasons and then stop there.
  • Friendly Fandoms:
    • For some reason, the Internet is fond of depicting Lisa wearing The Mask.
    • Similarly (but in a more minor case), there are numerous fans of the show who are also into Hotline Miami, drawing the show's characters with masks and weapons from the games and writing crossover fanfics between the two series. Lola and Lana in particular have been portrayed as Alex and Ash (respectively, and always that way) from Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number due to the twin dynamic between both duos.
    • There is fanart depicting Leni dressed as Star Butterfly.
      • Similarly, with Emman making ideas related to both The Loud House and Goof Troop (of all things, with Max in his An Extremely Goofy Movie appearance), fans of these shows are starting to get along due to them being family-friendly animated shows set in urban worlds focusing on family relationships (Goof Troop, A Goofy Movie and An Extremely Goofy Movie mainly involve father-and-son relationships instead of sibling ones, but still). Emman is even planning to do a Crossover fanfiction between these series (complete with elements from Miami Vice, of all things from the 1980s because this show served as one of his influences for his Lighter and Softer Alternate Company Equivalent to the Grand Theft Auto series based on Goof Troop, which takes place after the Sequel Series he proposes to do).
    • There's a Konami crossover about the children of the Loud siblings, which focuses on Lucy's son, who is part-mummy due to his father and is a descendant of Ganbare Goemon.
    • The show seems to be very popular with fans of Gravity Falls, given all the crossover art.
    • With fellow Nick hit SpongeBob SquarePants, owing to both shows being comedy-focused and fan favorites. Many people have compared Lincoln and Luan to SpongeBob, Leni to Patrick, Lori and Mr. Grouse to Squidward, Lisa and Lynn to Sandy, and Flip to Mr. Krabs.
    • The fandom also tends to overlap with fans of women-centered franchises such as Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Pretty Cure and Love Live!, for obvious reasons.
    • Loud fans also seem to overlap with fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, likely to due to both shows having similar themes about family and both sets of siblings having a shared love of pizza. What probably helps is that the four actors for the 2012 versions of the Turtles voiced the four older Loud Brothers in Season 1's "One of the Boys".
    • There's also quite a bit of fanart in which Lincoln and his sisters gain the powers of Shazam!.
    • It seems the Loud House fandom also crosses over with, of all things, Rick and Morty, likely thanks to a long-running fanfic in which Rick Sanchez is the Loud Kids' grandfather. There's a sizable amount of fan art of Lincoln in the style of Evil Morty.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: According to Google Trends, the show is popular in Southeast Asia, especially in the Philippines and in Latin American territories such as Argentina, Panama, Puerto Rico, and Brazil (it comes in full circle when the Latin American fans of the show got some KCAs in there). In fact, the crew added a Filipina character named Stella into the show, and the famous fanfic Requiem for a Loud was written by an Argentinian.
  • Growing the Beard:
    • Some fans felt that the show improved by the second half of Season 1, due to giving the sisters some focus alongside Lincoln, and generally having the sisters show actual care towards him. Then, Season 2 continued that evolution while toning down some of the show's more controversial aspects. Season 3 has been seen as a further improvement thus far, as Lincoln and especially the sisters are continually placed in more positive lights, the characters aren't as archetypal as in the earlier episodes, and there's frequent Continuity Porn.
    • Ever since the second half of season 6, some fans have noted that the writing has become a bit better, and flanderization has become less occurring.

    H-M 
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • Two of the newspaper gags featured in "The Loudest Yard"note  and "Health Kicked"note , respectively, have since lost any value of humor after the news broke out about Chris Savino's firing from Nickelodeon following accusations of sexual harassment and threats of industry blacklisting that go as far back as 2004.
    • Likewise, Lincoln's attitude towards his crush Cristina in "Making the Case", such as attempting to kiss a picture of her and showing it his chest hair, when it's made clear she doesn't reciprocate his feelings and is so uncomfortable about it that she changes classes (or even schools), becomes a lot less funny after Savino's firing, especially considering that Lincoln (at least during the first two seasons) is based on Savino himself as a kid.
    • As does Hugh being stalked and harassed by the lovestruck sisters in "Study Muffin".
    • Let's not forget about Clyde's repeated cringeworthy pining after Lori, which pretty much foreshadows Savino's eventual predicament. It's probably the reason why this was dropped in the third season after the firing.note 
      • Speaking of which, "A Change of Heart" focused on Clyde attempting to finally overcome his nervousness around Lori, though this ultimately fails at the end into a heavy Nosebleed Heroic BSoD from seeing two Loris (one being Leni dressed up as Lori), alongside Lori herself actually enjoying the attention Clyde gives her and becoming a Clingy Jealous Girl when she seemingly lost him to Leni. It still ends up being one of the final episodes in the show to highlight Clyde having a Precocious Crush on Lori before Season 3 dropped it entirely (outside of showing that Clyde keeps pics of Lori in his journal in Season 3's "Absent Minded"), and without any real closure or explanations as to how Clyde finally moved on from Lori, let alone no longer having the two directly interact with each other at all until the Season 5 episode "Ghosted".
    • The final prediction for "Raw Deal"note  falls into this for some Filipinos. This is because their localized network, ABS-CBN, had been forced to cease operations by the NTC 2 days (May 5) after the series last aired (May 3). The remaining channels that carried the series were Yey! (shut down last June 30, 2020) and Nickelodeon Asia for paid signal users.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Lincoln being unable to win a single trophy in "Making the Case" becomes this after The Loud House lost the Favorite Cartoon award to SpongeBob SquarePants at the 2017 Kids' Choice Awards (at least in the United States). Ironically, Lincoln WOULD win some real trophies later, as shown in "Insta-Gran" (and to a lesser extent, the show won a KCA in Mexico).
    • In the Hebrew dub of "House Flip", the episode's title card mistranslates Flip's name as Philip. As it turns out in "A Flipmas Carol", his real name is Phillip.
    • A promotional image for the show had the Loud siblings photoshopped onto a picture of Mario Kart 8. Lincoln, Lucy and Clyde would later appear in a racing game.
    • In Season 1's "A Tattler's Tale", Lola writes in her diary that only a moron would write a secret in their diary. Come Season 4's "Snoop's On", Luna weaponizes this idea to teach Lincoln, Leni, and Luan a lesson for reading her diary.
    • In "Stall Monitor", Lincoln is worried about an incident when he called Mrs. Johnson "mom". A later episode reveals Stella did the same thing at her old school.
  • Ho Yay:
    • "Clincoln McLoud". While he is shown to be attracted to girls, Clyde is also very close to his best friend Lincoln. Several episodes show that he's ready to make big sacrifices for himnote  and losing his friendship is one of his biggest fears. In "ARGGH! You For Real?", after taking a level in cynic, Clyde refuses to give a second chance to Hunter Spector and to believe his claims, but accepts to come when Lincoln asks him to do it for him. They can also be rather touchy with each other in their interactions, grabbing each other by the hands, the wrists, or the shoulders.
    • In "Study Muffin", even Mr. Loud is in on stalking Hugh!
    • "A Fair to Remember" has Bobby, Lori, and Lincoln act like a formerly monogamous couple finding a third partner, completing with Lori getting jealous because the other two are getting along too well with each other without her.
    • Carol's reaction to seeing Lori somewhat resembles a teenager coming face to face with their crush.
    • Ronnie Anne and Sid also show this, particularly in how they act inseparable and can't bear to be without each other.
  • Hype Backlash: Ever since its debut, the show has received tons of hype, to the point of becoming Nick's biggest show after SpongeBob, as well as essentially replacing The Fairly OddParents! (following that show's Seasonal Rot, Screwed by the Network, and eventual cancelation) as Nick's top non-SpongeBob Nicktoons series that's Adored by the Network. However, the very divisive humor (some of which was already criticized for being overused in certain previous Nicktoons), a fairly simple slice of life format that's been seen before, the anvilicious nature of many episodes, the rather divisive fandom (especially in regards to the immense amount of Loudcest material, let alone Rule 34 content as a whole, the show has received from said fandom, that it has grown to become its own sub-fandom), and Chris Savino himself getting fired over sexual harassment allegations during Season 2's first run (as well as whether or not his firing has affected the show's overall quality by itself), have made some question if the show deserves the hype it receives, deeming it as an average or okay show at best or a mediocre one at worst. Also, in a "monkey's paw" twist of fate, while this show has managed to be one of the only Nicktoons to not get Screwed by the Network in the mid-2010s amid SpongeBob reruns, it has in turn become so popular on its own that it has been accused of threatening other newer Nicktoons' staying power just like SpongeBob has, further increasing the backlash.
  • I Knew It!:
    • "L is for Love" confirmed the relatively longtime fan theory/headcanon that Luna is bisexual.
    • Many fans theorized that "The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos" was a backdoor pilot for a spin-off starring Ronnie Anne and the Casagrandes. This was confirmed in March 2018 when it was announced that a series starring the Casagrandes was greenlit.
  • Incest Yay Shipping: Loudcest. It's a trend involving shipping the Loud siblings with each other, be it Lincoln with his sisters or the sisters with each other. Even Lily, who is a baby, is not safe.note 
  • Iron Woobie: Luna Loud is the third oldest of the Loud siblings and a lover of Rock and Roll. In "L is for Love" the siblings find a secret admirer letter addressed to L Loud. While the others give signs to their crushes, Luna chickens out thinking Sam wouldn't be into her. After the last letter seems to be for her, she and her siblings rush to the restaurant it said to meet at. Only to find it was from their mother to their father. However, inspired by her mother's story Luna decides to give Sam a letter to tell her about her feelings. In "Really Loud Music" Luna enters a music competition but decides to use a safe bubblegum pop song after she doubts her old one. After getting in, the hosts try to model her into someone she isn'tnote . However, Luna ultimately chooses to play her original song and, though she gets disqualified, wins over the crowd.
  • It Was His Sled: The ending to "L is for Love" became such a major topic in the animation community that it's no longer considered a spoiler and everyone knows about Luna and Sam. Especially since the two girls start officially dating in "Racing Hearts".
  • It's the Same, Now It Sucks!: A criticism that's becoming increasingly common is the show's tendency to revert back to the status quo no matter what. While this isn't anything new with these types of cartoon shows, some feel that it ultimately ends up wasting any opportunities for characters like, say, Luan or Lisa to get any Character Development that'll stick in future episodes.
  • Karmic Overkill: In "No Such Luck", Lynn thinks that Lincoln is bad luck, so Lincoln goes along with it and lies to get some free time. While he did deserve some punishment for it, his parents and sisters forcing him to sleep outside was seen by many fans as more than a bit too far.
  • Launcher of a Thousand Ships:
    • Lincoln's been shipped with Cristina (on which he had an unrequited crush), Ronnie Anne (actually having feelings for each other helps), the four girls from "Dance Dance Resolution", several unnamed female background characters, classmates Girl Jordan and Stella, Luna's girlfriend Sam, Sid Chang, Clyde, and all ten of his sisters. Yes, even Lily.
    • The sisters themselves count as well: If they're not being shipped with either their respective lovers or each other and Lincoln, they're probably being shipped with some random background character, their friends, or even their male counterparts.
    • Clyde is often shipped with either Haiku, who he shared a dance with in "Dance, Dance Resolution"; Lucy, for her similarity to Haiku; Lincoln, because Lincoln is very popular himself and because of their strong friendship bordering on bromance; Lynn, due to their close ages and the potential Opposites Attract dynamic between a calm nerdy boy and an aggressive sporty girl; Penelope, the girl who was his partner in taking care of an egg in "Shell Shock"; or any of the sisters in general.
  • LGBT Fanbase: Has a following in the LGBT community for the show's LGBT characters like Lainey, Alice, Howard, Harold, Luna, Sam, and Dana Dufresne, all of whom are portrayed well.
  • Loose Canon: A few fans wonder if the episodes centering on Luan going next-level on April Fool's Day are this, partly because they worry that Luan is being too mean on those episodes, and (before Season 5) partly out of a desire to explain why no one's gotten any older.
  • Love to Hate: Funnily enough, Chandler from Season 5 onwards. Now that his status as The Bully is not ambiguous anymore and he's more or less written pretty much how the fandom envisioned him to be, it means his character is now hated for the right reasons. Giving Lincoln a recurring antagonist also helps in making his plots more interesting overall, especially now that Ronnie Anne left and the Loud sisters don't antagonize their brother as much anymore.
  • Memetic Personality Change:
    • Some fanfics, particularly of the Dark Fic variety, will have Luan hide sadness under a happy exterior.
    • Plenty of fans see Leni as faking at least some of her Dumb Blonde rep for various reasons, ranging from wanting to be underestimated to wanting others to feel better about themselves. It varies whether any of her siblings know the truth but if any do, it's most frequently Lori.
    • Some fans also consider that Leni is secretly a fan of the "Princess Pony" comics like Lucy, even though there's no indication of this.
    • Fans like to interpret Lynn as experiencing Height Angst, considering she's older than Lincoln yet is about the same height as him. This is especially evident in fan works where the two are aged up, in which Lincoln is at least a foot taller than Lynn. It's also taken to the extreme in some works with all the Loud siblings as adults, which often depict Lynn as having become the shortest sibling overall.
  • Memetic Psychopath:
    • In some dark fics that feature shipping, some sisters are hit hard by the Yandere treatment, becoming possessive, lustful, violent, and sometimes even downright murderous. The most frequent targets are Luan, Lynn, and Lucy.
    • Some works amplify Luan's already slightly psychotic obsession with jokes and pranks and turn her into an expy of the Joker or a psychotic murderer.
  • Misblamed: Seasons 2 onwards fall under No Export for You in the whole of Africa, but many fans (especially in South Africa) are unsure why Season 2 of The Loud House is not available in their country's Nickelodeon feed. This is actually because the entire series was banned in Kenya in 2017, and Kenya's pay television service shares with South Africa. What is weird is that South Africa prohibits discrimination based on homosexuality, yet only Season 1 is available there.

    N-P 
  • Never Live It Down: Some fans still hold grudges against some of the sisters for their actions in A Day in the Limelight episodes. For example:
    • Ever since the beginning of the series, Lori's still seen as a spiteful Big Sister Bully even after episodes like "The Waiting Game" and "A Fair to Remember" showed a kinder, more sympathetic side to her. Some circles have Flanderized her into a psychotic Alpha Bitch who treats Lincoln as a slave and physically abuses her siblings.
    • Following "Sound of Silence", Lola is still hated by some viewers who either completely missed the point and didn't realize that the sisters' stories about her revenge schemes were completely made up, or felt that the prank she came up with was a severe case of Disproportionate Retribution. Even though several episodes have later shown her Hidden Depths ("Toads And Tiaras", "A Tattler's Tale", "Patching Things Up", and "Read Aloud"); making her (alongside Lori) the sister who gets the more Character Development.
    • Lynn has lost much of her popularity no thanks to "No Such Luck", in which she calls Lincoln bad luck when she believes his presence cost her team a ballgame. The fact that the rest of the family got behind this accusation, including the parents has made fans less forgiving of her more negative actions towards Lincoln. "Lynn-er Takes All" only further tanked her popularity among fans because of her Unsportsmanlike Gloating towards her siblings whenever she wins at board games (although, unlike in "No Such Luck," she does at least get some Character Development).
    • Viewers seem unwilling to forget how Leni Took a Level in Dumbass in "Schooled!" (being unable to get dressed without Lori's help and mistaking a preschool for a regular school) despite the show tempering her ditziness in episodes like "The Boss Maybe" and "Electshunned".
  • No Problem with Licensed Games: The two games "Lincoln's List" and "Summer School" all have not-too-easy-not-too-hard challenges, and everything makes sense. They also have funny moments, such as the grapes being seen as "good for bats, babies, baby bats, and bat-babies".
  • Older Than They Think:
    • In 1983, British author Jill Murphy created a book series (also adapted to animation in 2007) about a family of elephants whose names and surnames start with L, The Large Family, although the titular family is only composed of four children (two boys and two girls), named Lester, Luke, Laura, and Lucy.
    • In the early 1980s, Sesame Street did a sketch with a band parodying The Rolling Stones called The Cobblestones. The name of their frontman was Mick Swagger, which is the same name as Luna's Mick Jagger Expy idol. They also had a skit with two families called the Quiet family and the Loud family.
  • One-Scene Wonder:
    • A girl with a yellow dress and glasses◊, who stands in a line to the bathroom at a gas station that Lynn wants to use and Lana comes out of in "Raw Deal" (also known as "Thicc QT"), is very popular, with a lot of fanart in Booru, Tumblr, DeviantArt, and imageboards dedicated to her. Not bad for someone who appears a few seconds and doesn't have any lines.
    • Linka, Lincoln's female counterpart near the end of "One of the Boys" appears in one scene, but has a lot of fanart and fanworks related to her.
    • Lori and Bobby's 11 children from Lori's Imagine Spot in "Driving Ambition". This is mainly due to the implications that every individual Loud sibling could end up with a family of their own that's just as big as the one they belong to currently.
  • One True Threesome: The show's fandom quickly began developing numerous of these ships. The most common ones include:
    • Ronnie Anne/Lincoln/Sid
    • Ronnie Anne/Lincoln/Clyde
    • Ronnie Anne/Lincoln/one or more of the other girls Lincoln has shown interest in. Clyde can also be tossed in on the action.
    • Ronnie Anne/Lincoln/one or more of the girls from "Dance Dance Resolution". Again, Clyde can be tossed in, especially if Haiku is involved, as Lincoln was at least slightly interested in her.
    • Lincoln/at least two of the girls he's shown interest in and/or the girls from "Dance Dance Resolution" (for fans who don't ship Ronnie Anne with Lincoln). Once again, Clyde can be added if Haiku is included.
    • Benny/Luan/Maggie
    • Luna/Sam/one or more of their bandmates and/or Luna's siblings.
    • Lori has had some of this as well, since while most people are fine with her being with Bobby, some like to throw in Carol on top of that, to say nothing of throwing in one of Lori's siblings.
  • Only the Creator Does It Right: Many fans see the seasons that had no involvement from Chris Savino (from Season 4 onwards) as inferior to the ones that did. However, whether these seasons were still good in their own right is hotly debated.
  • Periphery Demographic: Although the show is mostly aimed at kids, it still gained a popular following among teens and young adults thanks to resembling the style and characterization of 1990s-era cartoons. It helps that the show—albeit subtly—touches upon more realistic topics like sexuality and disability, something that other kids' shows rarely do.
  • Portmanteau Couple Name:
    • If a ship involves Lincoln at all, it will have one of these:
      • Ronnie Anne/Lincoln = Ronniecoln. Became ascended in The Casagrandes Movie, where Ronnie Anne has a playlist labeled "Ronniecoln".
      • Cristina/Lincoln = Cristincoln.
      • Clyde/Lincoln = Clincoln McCloud, their In-Universe friendship name. Any ships between Clyde and the Loud sisters use a similar template, being C[insert Loud sibling name here] McCloud.
      • Lynn/Lincoln = Lynncoln.
      • Luan/Lincoln = Luancoln.
      • Lucy/Lincoln = Lincy or Lucycoln.
      • Luna/Lincoln = Lunacoln.
      • Leni/Lincoln = Lenicoln.
      • Lori/Lincoln = Loricoln or Lincori.
      • Twins/Lincoln = Twincoln.
      • Lola/Lincoln = Lolacoln.
      • Lana/Lincoln = Lanacoln.
      • Lisa/Lincoln = Lisacoln.
      • Lily/Lincoln = Lilycoln.
      • Any of the four Sadie Hawkins date/Lincoln = Pollycoln (Polly Pain), Tabbycoln (Tabby), Gigglescoln (Giggles) and Haicoln (Haiku).
      • Lincoln's crush in "L is For Love" Paige/Lincoln = Paigecoln.
      • Lincoln/Girl Jordan = Jordacoln.
      • Lincoln/Stella = Stellcoln.
    • The sisters get this too when paired with each other. The most popular ones include:
      • Lori/Leni (Loreni/Lenori)
      • Luna/Luan (Luana/Lunan)
      • Luna/Lynn (Lynnuna)
      • Lynn/Lucy (Lynnucy)
      • Lola/Lana (Lanola)
    • In-Universe, besides Clincoln McLoud, Clyde has also gotten Clach McGurdle with Zach and Cacholn McClurdle, Zlydcon McGloudle, and Lydach LurdleMc with Zach and Lincoln. Zach and Rusty also use Zusty Spurdles as their friendship name, and in The Really Loud House, Rusty comes up with Crusty McSpokes as a potential name for himself and Clyde.
    • Leni/Carlota: In "Fashion No Show", Leni coins "Team Carleni" to refer to her friendship with Carlota. Later, Mariella refers to them as "Team Lenota" instead, which Carlota admits has a nice ring to it.

    R-T 
  • Recurring Fanon Character: There is a popular community with a wide variety of fanart and fanfiction involving the "Sin Kids", children Lincoln had with his sisters. While they have set names, designs, and some personality traits, everything else varies from person to person, as the creators of the AU encourage everyone to roll with their own ideas for them.
  • Replacement Scrappy: This tends to happen with the love interests/crushes of most of the siblings who had multiple of them, whose relationships are often little elaborated upon, and eventually either overridden with each new interest/crush the sibling in question gets, if said sibling's romantic history isn't forgotten completely with the latest interest/crush being dropped out. They're more often base-breaking characters rather than full-blown Scrappies, however.
    • In Seasons 2 and 3, Leni's boyfriend was Chaz. Since then, their relationship was silently dropped despite Chaz continuing to appear regularly. This was followed by Leni having feelings for an unnamed boy with cowlicks in "Undercover Mom", and briefly dating Scott in The Loud House Movie, before she started to date the newcomer Gavin in Season 7. The unnamed boy, Scott, and Gavin are all hated by plenty of fans who preferred for Leni to stay with Chaz, and Gavin himself is disliked by some fans who wanted her to be with Scott.
    • Lincoln was initially Ship Teased with Ronnie Anne, but "L is for Love" showed him crushing on a girl named Paige, which sparked debate over whether Lincoln should be with Ronnie Anne or Paige (or neither). This ended up escalating not only as Lincoln got several more crushes across the entire franchise, but also as his previous crush before Ronnie Anne was prominently brought up, to say nothing of the fans who debate with the ones who support any of these crushes over characters Lincoln never had a crush on.
    • Lucy first had a crush on the one-shot Rocky Spokes (who happened to be the younger brother of Lincoln's friend Rusty) in "Back in Black"; then in "L is for Love", she's seen crushing on another boy named Silas, who's never seen again afterwards. While not as controversial as the other examples, this still caused some debate, with the division consisting of the fans who prefer Rocky because they think Silas is too similar to Lucy, and those who support Silas, whose most common argument is that Rocky was "just a plot device".
  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap:
    • Both Lola and Lori were almost universally despised by the fandom initially for their anger issues and selfishness. However, after episodes such as "The Waiting Game" and "A Tattler's Tale", fans warmed up to them. It helps that the more abrasive aspects of their personalities were toned down and they showed more kindhearted moments towards Lincoln.
    • Lynn Jr., who was hated by the fandom for the longest time due to her Jerk Jock character, has shown various Hidden Depths in episodes such as "Net Gains" and "Middle Men."
  • Ron the Death Eater: The Loud family themselves are targets of this treatment but other characters were also demonized too.
    • Due to the shipping wars, it's not uncommon to see many other characters (Ronnie Anne, Cristina, Bobby, Clyde, etc.) get this treatment.
    • In regards to the numerous "Loudcest" ships, most of the sisters (mainly Luan, Lynn, and Lucy) tend to get struck with the Yandere treatment pretty hard.
    • The sisters in general have received plenty of this treatment in other manners. Their negative traits are amplified by some, due to being completely oblivious and/or ignorant of the abuse they put Lincoln through and typically getting away with it; "The Sweet Spot", "Sound of Silence", "Sleuth or Consequences", "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House", "Brawl in the Family" and "No Such Luck" are notable episodes that back this claim up. That said, in most fan works, the sisters acknowledge how badly they've treated Lincoln and otherwise learn their lesson in the end.
      • Despite becoming kinder later on, there's fanfics that portray Lori as a Control Freak Alpha Bitch who only care about Bobby, her siblings be damned, with Lincoln being her favorite target. In regards to Carol, she is portrayed as being very envious of her and will do anything to outperform her.
      • Not even Leni is safe of this. She is portrayed by her haters as a Lethally Stupid ditz. There's also some fanfics that treats her ditziness as a facade to get away with her actions.
      • Luna is another case. Due to Die for Our Ship reasons, mainly when Sam is being shipped with someone else, her affection for her will be twisted into an Entitled to Have You situation where she wants to control Sam's life and even become a villain if she is found out to have an Incompatible Orientation. She is also portrayed as abusive to Lincoln and being paranoid if he wants to take Sam away from her.
      • Luan, due to her actions in the April Fool episodes, is believed to be a sociopathic prankster who doesn't care who gets hurt in her pranks as long as she is satisfied and gets a laugh. On the other hand, there's some fanfics that say she has an evil split-personality that takes her over during April Fool's Day.
      • Lynn is the most frequent target, due to being the more static of the sisters and because the episodes in which she takes the central spot tend to insist on the negative aspects of her personality; with her being frequently portrayed as a remorseless Big Sister Bully with an inflated ego and refusing to take responsibility for her actions, mainly on fanfics based on "No such Luck". While she does have some Character Development at the end of "Lynner Takes All" and "Net Gains", some fans tend to ignore them to amplify her flaw.
      • Lola was bratty but also became more kinder later on, but she is still portrayed as a manipulative blackmailer who only cares about herself, mainly due to the stories in "Sound of Silence", even though the stories were made-up.
    • Lincoln:
      • He himself isn't safe from this either, as some fans, when defending the sisters, will sometimes go too far and claim that Lincoln deserves any bad thing that happens to him, no matter how clearly disproportionate it is. He is also portrayed as an entitled and hypocritical brat who would gleefully torment his sisters if they doesn't cater to his wants, even brutally beating up his younger sisters.
      • There's an unintentional example while targeting his sisters; he is turned into an avatar for the vindictiveness from the writers, turning into a grudge-holding and spiteful Jerkass who is perfectly fine if his family suffers as long he is satisfied.
    • Lynn Sr. and Rita sometimes get this treatment too, due to their questionable moments as parents. In such cases, they're often derided as abusive, neglectful pushovers instead of the flawed but loving parents they are in the show.
    • Sam Sharp was canonically shown to love Luna and was a Nice Girl overall, but fanfics that puts her through Die for Our Ship portrays her as adulterous and even as a manipulative Bitch in Sheep's Clothing using Luna for her own selfish ends.
    • Chandler is an odd case; while he isn't meant to be sympathetic and later became an antagonist for Lincoln, there's some people who portray him as a sexist or misogynist Casanova Wannabe who treats girls as a prize. Though most examples tend to be Adaptational Villainy than this trope since he is usually portrayed as a Barbaric Bully and/or Manipulative Bastard.
  • Seasonal Rot:
    • After the first two seasons were well-received and gathered a decent fanbase, Season 3 saw a somewhat mixed response among the fandom. While certain episodes such as "Roadie to Nowhere," "Head Poet's Anxiety," and "Really Loud Music" have received near-universal praise for their Character Development, others are more polarizing, with certain fans accusing them of recycling plots from earlier episodes ("Scales of Justice" having been compared to Season 2's "Frog Wild," for instance) and just not being as entertaining or creative as those from earlier seasons. This is likely due to Chris Savino's firing, as other instances of this trope happened due to the creators having little or no input like they did before. That said, some fans still consider it as good as the first two seasons.
    • Season 4 has come under criticism from some fans, who think that Lincoln's character has undergone Flanderization, accentuating his most negative characteristics and making him more selfish and clumsy, and more likely to attract bad consequences for himself and those close to him (citing "Kings of the Con" and "Stall Monitor" as examples). Like with Season 3, some have also made claims of plots being recycled, such as "The Last Loud on Earth" being compared to "The Price of Admission". And that's not even getting into how the season devoted its first five episodes (with nine segments) to a Poorly Disguised Pilot of The Casagrandes before said Spin-Off series premiered properly, an act largely hated for deviating from the show's main core focus.
    • Season 5 is widely considered (apart from a handful of positively received episodes, such as "The Boss Maybe" and "Camped!") to be the weakest season thus far. In spite of playing Nothing Is the Same Anymore by having the characters age up by a year (after numerous complaints from viewers over the cast remaining the same age between several annual special episodes like the Halloween or April Fools ones), many fans have claimed the show officially went downhill as soon as the season 5 premiere special "Schooled!" aired, with the main criticisms being that the flanderizations kicked in even harder and there were many more rehashed plots. A few also complained about some plots being less grounded in reality than past seasons via the addition of fantastical elements that they perceive as going against the show's slice-of-life feel.
    • Season 6 was initially met with a divisive reception by the fanbase, until the second half of season 6 onwards, where fans have noted that said flanderizations have been dialed back and the fantasy elements have been balanced out with more comparatively grounded stories, and while the show hasn't quite won back the crowd, they feel that it's at least a step in the right direction.
  • Ship Mates: Lincoln/Ronnie Anne shippers often ship Clyde with either Lynn or Sid. Pairing Liam with Tabby is also popular among them.
  • Ships That Pass in the Night:
    • Despite exchanging no lines, the Luan/Maggie pairing sprang up and has yet to subside.
    • It's not uncommon to see fan art of Ronnie Anne and Tiago being together, despite the two never meeting each other in canon.
  • Ship-to-Ship Combat:
    • Between Lynncoln and Ronniecoln fans, with associated fan works having Ronnie Anne and Lynn turn into rivals for Lincoln's affection.
    • The Luaggie (Luan/Maggie) shippers also rival the Luan/Benny shippers.
  • Spiritual Successor: This very wiki refers to The Loud House as "Cheaper by the Dozen as a cartoon" due to both being family comedies about an enormous family with a double-digit number of children.
  • Strawman Has a Point:
    • Lincoln going on strike in "Chore and Peace". Luan, Lynn, and Lucy get to work together on one chore, Leni's chore consists entirely of her pulling hair out of the bathroom drain, and the washer and dryer do Lori's work for her. It's easy to see Lincoln's complaints.
    • According to "Brawl in the Family", Lincoln is wrong for not respecting the sister fight protocol and he should have stayed out of Lori and Leni's feud. However, Lincoln is right in the fact that Lori and Leni are fighting over such a petty matter and the protocol is interfering with everybody's daily life. This includes Lincoln.
    • Lincoln and the other healthy sisters trying to get out of the way of the sick sisters instead of taking care of them in "One Flu Over the Loud House". Spraying hot soup at them might've been a bad idea, and he could have given Clyde some instructions that allowed them to be taken care of safely, but him trying to get out of their way was sensible considering that they had a very contagious lurgy that manifested within seconds to minutes and went out of their way to approach the uninfected. It's not as if you can help the sick if you're sick yourself.
  • Tear Dryer: In "Along Came a Sister", Frank the spider is thought to be dead twice and everyone is sad both times, but then the first time it turns out that what was thought to be Frank's corpse was a hairball Cliff coughed up and the second time, it turns out that Leni, who was afraid of Frank, saved him.
  • Testosterone Brigade: The Loud sisters had fanboys before the show even premiered, let alone before there were any preview clips (the pilot notwithstanding).
  • Toy Ship:
    • Fans shipping any of the sisters with Lincoln runs rampant by the attosecond.
    • Some fans like to ship Lisa and Darcy together.
    • Lily/Carlitos is pretty popular. Yes, even the infants aren't safe.
  • Trapped by Mountain Lions:
    • "Patching Things Up" is A Day in the Limelight episode for Lana and Lola. Thus, Lincoln and Clyde's B-plot can feel rather unnecessary. It doesn't contribute anything to the main plot of the twins trying to get into the Bluebell Scouts, and Lincoln and Clyde only appear to be there because the writers felt obligated to include Lincoln in the episode somehow.
    • Lori's subplot in "City Slickers" has been considered wholly unnecessary. The episode could've worked just fine by focusing on Lincoln and Ronnie Anne, but it seems the writers really wanted Lori to do something else besides being Lincoln's driver.
    • Lincoln and Ronnie Anne's skate video subplot in "Don't You Dare Fore-get Me" is completely inconsequential to the episode, and appears to exist solely to justify Sergio being around for whatever reason (who himself doesn't contribute much either).

    U-Z 
  • Unpopular Popular Character:
  • Vanilla Protagonist: Some fans find Lincoln as one. While certainly not a one-note character, much of the show's content comes from his reactions to being surrounded by and living with a large cast of varying female characters with such stark personalities. As a result, he comes across as the average and rather generic preteen protagonist through which the audience lives through the adventures.
  • Viewer Name Confusion:
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: Although the art style and animation is pretty good all across the board, the smoke/smell effects are especially amazing and smooth.
  • Wangst:
    • In "No Laughing Matter", Luan enters a state of depression all because her family expressed brutal annoyance to her comedy routine, which, on their part, was completely understandable as it had been getting excessive and interfering with their peace. To make matters worse, she wholly retires from comedy and treats it like complete junk based purely on her siblings' opinions.
    • All of the Louds, minus Lincoln, come off as this in "The Taunting Hour". The conflict comes from them discovering that they have people who heckle them during their activities/jobs. However, most of these so-called hecklers aren't even that bad, with the most egregious one, Luan's "heckler", simply thinking she's not funny, yet their opinion is treated as a supposed hurtful comment. It makes the Louds come off as thin-skinned crybabies who can't handle any criticism whatsoever. The fact that they scapegoat Lincoln and say he ruins lives makes it feel like the other Louds are getting what they deserve.
  • Watched It for the Representation: The onscreen debut of Howard and Harold, the first same-sex couple on a Nickelodeon show since the The Legend of Korra (on top of being an interracial one), made the show gain a decent number of viewers from the LGBT community. The biggest representation-based jump the show had, however, was the establishment of Luna being a lesbian (or bisexual) in "L is for Love", to the point that her crush in the episode, Sam, was the crush who got the most subsequent development, both individually and as a full-fledged couple with Luna, with Luna and Sam becoming one of the most popular couples among both fans of the show and Nick in general for a good while.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not Political?:
    • In "No Guts, No Glori", Lori says that her rule by fear is the only thing that can prevent the house from turning into a pile of rubble. Therefore, this episode's logic, that rule by fear always works, is not that different from a typical dictator's line of thought that Democracy Is Bad.
    • "Electshunned" was itself about an election, but it, in the opinion of many, quickly devolved into an Author Tract and a thinly-veiled criticism of American politics, especially because it aired just a month after the inauguration of Joe Biden as President of the United States. Leni, an unambiguously Nice Girl who only wanted to have a debate about policy and was mocked for it by Mayor Davis' campaign manager, was quickly reduced to flinging personal attacks at her opponent after her opponent started personally attacking Leni's own family. Adding to this, Davis' campaign manager was a pretty blatant caricature of former Donald Trump campaign manager Anthony Scaramucci.
  • Win Back the Crowd:
    • Given Chris Savino's Broken Base status in the animation industry, the positive reception of the show had won back a lot of his detractors. However, the aforementioned sexual harassment allegations and his eventual firing from Nickelodeon caused that boat to sink later.
    • To an extent, the show is seen as this for Nick as a whole. Their animation department has received a lot of flak over the years. However, shows like The Loud House and Harvey Beaks have been praised as a return to form for the network. It's also considered one of the best animated series of 2016. Furthermore, it surpassed SpongeBob SquarePants as the channel's highest-viewed series.
    • The third season earned the respect of a lot of people who previously disliked the show by expanding the series' world, and giving each sister their own episodes to flesh out their personalities, as well as toning down the often mean-spirited humor.
