History Recap / TheLoudHouseS2E3BabyStepsBrawlInTheFamily

* CensorshipBySpelling: Clyde tries this when telling Lincoln he didn't need the cookies to calm Lola and Lana down. It fails since the twins understand what Clyde was saying and start fighting Lincoln for the cookies.

* ObfuscatingStupidity: Lincoln pays Lisa and Lola to play dumb so Clyde can "help" them. Lisa pretends she doesn't know how to tie her shoelaces, while Lola pretends she doesn't know how to fasten her seat belt.

* EpicFail: Everything that happens really. From Lincoln’s attempts to stop the fighting, to the sisters’ choices of rooms, to the communication between everyone, to the parents’ “competency”, to the decisions everyone makes, to the girls’ final solution to stop all the fighting, to Lincoln’s promise to stay out of his sisters’ troubles. And the Sister Fight Protocol itself. Let’s just say the whole episode itself could be considered “Epic Fail of the Loud Family.”

** [[NeverMyFault Ironically, the girls don’t seem to realise that they too had a hand in things getting worse, as they keep using Lincoln’s possessions as part of the system, without bothering to think about using anything else, which sweeps Lincoln into the conflict more than once.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: Debatable, but after spending the entire episode acting like violent maniacs and pushing Lincoln around to make the protocol work, the sisters, thanks to Linc’s slip of the tongue, turn on and pummel the heck out of each other, thus ruining the “protocol” and leaving the whole house a wreck, while Lincoln safely hides with the parents. You could say this is the sisters’ punishment for their selfishness, insults to each other, overreactions, flawed system and utter madness and stupidity.

* TheDogBitesBack: An unintentional example, brought on by Lincoln's stupidly [[SayingTooMuch big mouth]] mind you, but in the end, Lincoln does this to the sisters by spilling more insults about them, turning them on and beating each other up like crazy. Given how much they screw him over during the protocol, you could say this was Linc’s way of getting back at them for taking over his life.

* TheJinx: Lincoln's attempts to help his sisters settle their quarrels end up making things a lot worse. In fact, Lisa credits him with resolving the entire fight by refusing to get involved any further. [[SayingTooMuch Mostly due to his big mouth spilling insulting secrets and making the girls mad again.]] Saying he truly helped the conflict by leaving the house and staying over at Clyde's, letting them sort it out by themselves **[[NeverMyFault Ironically, the girls don’t seem to realise that they too had a hand in things getting worse, as they keep using Lincoln’s possessions as part of the system, without bothering to think about using anything else, which sweeps Lincoln into the conflict more than once.]]

* DressesTheSame: What starts the whole conflict.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Debatable, but after spending the entire episode acting like violent maniacs and pushing Lincoln around to make the protocol work, the sisters, thanks to Linc’s slip of the tongue, turn on and pummel the heck out of each other, thus ruining the “protocol” and leaving the whole house a wreck, while Lincoln safely hides with the parents. You could say this is the episode’s way of punishing the sisters for their selfishness, insults to each other, overreactions, flawed system and utter madness and stupidity.

* AnAesop: Sometimes, it's best to let conflicts simmer down on their own.

* AxCrazy: All of the sisters during the episode, especially at the end, after Lincoln lets slip insulting secrets one time too many. They fight so hard they shake the Earth itself.

%% * HateSink: Practically all of the Louds, but especially the sisters.

* BrokenAesop: The idea of the episode is to let some conflicts settle by themselves without getting involved, which is technically right as Linc’s attempts to settle the fighting prove more than futile. However, given that the sisters entire protocol results in them not allowing him to do anything simple in the house, such as watching TV or even letting him be in his room, all while going to outrageously stupid lengths just to keep the warring sisters apart without actually letting anyone solve anything, the whole point of the Aesop seems completely moot, since Lincoln’s life is being messed with and thus he has every valid reason to want to stop the fighting.
** Furthermore, as mentioned above, the sisters keep telling Lincoln to stay out of it, yet those who aren’t fighting do every unfair thing just to stop the angry sisters from seeing each other, plus when Lincoln has Luna and Luan switch rooms with Lori and Leni, the former two go at it as to who had the dress first, meaning they just broke their own rules!
** In the end, the fighting only stops because Lori managed to trick Leni into wearing the dress on all days of the week that don’t end in Y, as in, not wear it at all. Meaning the whole ordeal was all for nothing and the whole system was a complete failure!
** All in all, the episode pretty much ruins its own lesson.

* HateSink: Practically all of the Louds, but especially the sisters.

* FeudEpisode: Between Lori and Leni, and soon, everyone else. Even Lily at the end.

* TheDogBitesBack: An unintentional example, brought on by Lincoln’s stupidly [[SayingTooMuch big mouth]] mind you, but in the end, Lincoln does this to the sisters by spilling more insults about them, turning them on and beating each other up like crazy. Given how much they screw him over during the protocol, you could say this was Linc’s way of getting back at them for taking over his life.

** "Also at the end: "Next time when Lynn says she needs a windshield wiper when Lisa talks, or Lana says Lola snores like Pop-Pop, I am staying out of it."

* LaserGuidedKarma: After spending the entire episode acting like violent maniacs and pushing Lincoln around to make the protocol work, the sisters, thanks to Linc’s blabbering, turn on and pummel the heck out of each other, thus ruining the “protocol” and messing everything up again, while Lincoln safely hides with the parents. You could say this is the episode’s way of punishing the sisters for their selfishness, insults to each other, overreactions, flawed system and utter madness and stupidity.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: By the end of the episode, the girls are so confident of their system “working” that they don’t feel any remorse or regret for causing so much crazy trouble throughout the whole ordeal, nor do they apologise to Lincoln for screwing up his life so much. It doesn’t even dawn on them that they had a hand in things getting worse just as much as he did. This makes their final beating of each other very much well-deserved.

* HateSink: The entire Loud Family really. Especially the sisters, due to their [[BlindedByRage incredibly selfish, mean-spirited, inconsiderate, psychotic and stupid actions.]]
** The parents, for being [[DirtyCoward helpless, irresponsible, feeble, hopeless and useless]] and not doing anything when it’s clear life in the house is getting messed with and for not stopping the girls’ crazy behaviour.
** Even Lincoln arguably, as his big mouth, inability to work something out with his sisters and failure to stand up for himself makes him arguably come off as too stupid and hopeless to feel sorry for.

* AllForNothing: At the end, Lincoln spouts off more insults, making the settled sisters lose their tempers and attack each other again, thus leaving all the girls’ crazy work wasted and the SFP destroyed.

** In the end, the fighting only stops because Lori managed to trick Leni into wearing the dress on all days of the week that don’t end in Y, as in, not wear it at all. Meaning the whole ordeal was all for nothing and the system doesn’t work at all!

** In the end, the fighting only stops because Lori managed to trick Leni into wearing the dress on all days of the week that don’t end in Y, as in, not wear it at all. Meaning the whole ordeal was all for nothing and the system doesn’t even work!

* DownerEnding: Lori and Leni finally stopped fighting over the same dress, but Lincoln inadvertently slips out of what his sisters think to one another, and the whole fight continues. However, it may also count as LaserGuidedKarma for the sisters as they all beat each other to the point of near-death.

** Even Lincoln, as his big mouth, inability to work something out with his sisters and failure to stand up for himself makes him arguably come off as too stupid and hopeless to feel sorry for.

** [[BrokenAesop That said, the conflict only ends at the end, because Leni was ditzy enough to make a solution that means she’d never wear the dress, therefore the conflict wasn’t really resolved at all, rendering the whole point of the Aesop moot. Plus it’s rather hard to allow the conflict to settle by itself when the method is clearly interfering with life in the house.]]

* BlindedByRage: The sisters at the end, thanks to Linc insulting them by saying hidden secrets about each other.
