History Recap / TheLoudHouseS2E23ReadAloudNotALoud

* AnAesop: Don't be afraid to ask for help.

* BlatantLies: Lola claims that she doesn't like pizza, but as photographic memories show, she was shown to enjoy pizza. Lincoln then tells her that he doesn't buy it.

* ScaryLibrarian: Downplayed with Molly Wetta, as she seems to be a polite, laid-back sort of woman. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Unless you happen to have some serious overdue fines...]]

* TheFaceless: The faces of the President and First Lady were never shown, though given Lincoln's age, it was most likely George W. Bush and his wife, Laura.

* NegativeContinuity: This episode contradicts "Ties That Bind", where Lola could read the chocolate chip words on lincoln's pancakes.

* SpiritualAntithesis: Ultimately, the episode becomes this to "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E10HandMeDownerSleuthOrConsequences Sleuth or Consequences]]". In the former, Lincoln took the fall for his sister (Lucy) to save her from a book-related embarrassing reveal (her copy of ''Princess Pony'' clogging the toilet). In the latter, the sister (Lola) prevents Lincoln from taking the fall and owns up to her book-related embarrassment (she had trouble reading). To be fair, that episode involved her easily reading a simple message, whilst this episode involves her struggling to read an entire book.

* TheyFightCrime: Invoked. As the family tries to interest Lola in a book, this is how they try describing the main characters.

* LookBehindYou: Lincoln resorts to put a book in front of Lola and not leaving until she's through. Lola then just points and yells "BOOKS!", prompting Lincoln to turn back, and escapes.

'''Lola:''' Yes, it is!\\

* ContinuityNod: The Yates are among the families who entered the reading contest.

* SpiritualAntithesis: Ultimately, the episode becomes this to "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E10HandMeDownerSleuthOrConsequences Sleuth or Consequences]]". In the former, Lincoln took the fall for his sister (Lucy) to save her from a book-related embarrassing reveal (her copy of ''Princess Pony'' clogging the toilet). In the latter, the sister (Lola) prevents Lincoln from taking the fall and owns up to her book-related embarrassment (she had trouble reading).

* SeriesContinuityError: In this episode, Lola has trouble learning how to read. However, in a previous episode, "[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E9OvernightSuccessTiesThatBind Ties that Bind]]", when Lincoln is making breakfast for his dad, Lola is clearly able to read "World's Greatest Dad" in chocolare chips. In this episode, it's Lincoln who teaches Lola how to read despite being surprised that Lola can read in "Ties That Bind".

* BirdPeople: After Leni recalls how Lincoln was brought to their home by an eagle, Lincoln believes he might be a bird/human-hybrid, and tries to prove this by first attempting to fly and then to eat worms. Both fail, thus jossing his theory.

* BittersweetEnding: Although Lincoln learned an amazing secret about his birth, he's not allowed to tell his class about it, thus his project might not go as he thought it would.

* LIsForDyslexia: It's possible that Lola has some form of dyslexia, since she claims to have a lot of trouble with advancing her reading abilities and she appears to be the only member of the Loud-family to have trouble with reading (not counting Lily, who's just a baby).
* LibraryEpisode: In this episode, the Loud Family go to the library and enter a contest where the grand prize is a free pass to Spunk E. Pigeon's.

* ScaryLibrarian: Downplayed with Molly Wetta, as she seems to be a polite, laid-back sort of woman. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Unless you happen to have multiple overdue fines...]]

* TheAllegedCar: Vanzilla lived up to its reputation again on the day Lincoln was born, breaking down while Mr. Loud was driving his wife to the hospital after she went into labor.

* BittersweetEnding: Although Lincoln learned an amazing secret about his birth, he is not allowed to tell his class about it, thus his project might not go as he thought it would.
* TheFaceless: The faces of the President and First Lady were never shown, though given Lincoln's age, it was most likely George W. Bush and Laura Bush.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Mr. and Mrs. Loud never told anyone (including their kids) about what exactly happened the day Lincoln was born, until they finally tell their son and Clyde in this episode. This is because he was born in the limo of President and the First Lady, having been delivered by the First Lady herself--apparently, the President and the First Lady were on their way to a top secret safe house in Royal Woods, and Mr. and Mrs. Loud were sworn to secrecy about what happened (even being forced to sign a confidentiality agreement).

* TheReveal: On the day Lincoln was born, Vanzilla broke down as it often does, and they got a lift from ''the President of the United States''--however, once it became apparent that they wouldn't make it to the hospital in time for Lincoln to be born, he ended up being delivered by the First Lady herself (right in the limousine, after both the President and Lynn Sr. passed out). The parents had to keep this hidden from Lincoln because the President and First Lady were going to their top secret safe house in Royal Woods and were warned not to blow their cover.

* SwitchedAtBirth: Lincoln's final theory about his origin is that this happened to him. This is further supported when he and Clyde encounter a family in which the parents both have white hair, but their daughter looks more like a younger version of Lori and has musical and food tastes of Luna and Lynn. When Lincoln confronts his parents with his discovery, and even accuses them of having bribed a doctor to make the switch, they debunk his theory and finally tell him the real story about his birth.

* TheUnReveal: It still isn't revealed why Lincoln has white hair. Whatever he made up for his class project about the day of his birth is also left unseen.

* TheReveal: On the day Lincoln was born, Vanzilla broke down as it often does, and they got a lift from ''the President of the United States''--however, once it became apparent that they wouldn't make it to the hospital in time for Lincoln to be born, he ended up being delivered by the First Lady herself (right in the limousine, after both the President and Lynn Sr. passed out).

* ScaryLibrarian: Downplayed with Molly Wetta, as she seems to be a polite, laid-back sort of woman. Unless you happen to have multiple overdue fines...

* SuckECheeses: Spunk E. Pigeon's Pizza-palooza Paradise.

* ToiletHumor: Lana advises Lincoln and Clyde to not go into the bathroom after she just used it. It is implied that she had just taken a dump, as she comes out holding a newspaper (which one frequently reads while going #2, as Lynn did in "Homespun" - given her character she was probably reading the sports section in that episode).

* TakingTheHeat: Subverted. When the rest of their family angrily confront’s Lincoln and Lola for missing the deadline, he tries to cover up for Lola by saying that it’s his fault, risking punishment. However, Lola doesn’t want him to go through with this, so she stops him from lying about it, confessing that it’s actually HER fault.
