* EducationMama: A downplayed example--while they don't seem too strict when it comes to kids overall education, Mr. and Mrs. Loud (particularly the latter) have set some fairly strict rules when it comes to homeschooling their kids, such as making it a rule that even if they fail so much as one test, they have to go back to attending a regular school.

* HiddenDepths: For a six-year-old, Lola proves to be capable of working independently with minimal supervision when it comes to her homeschooling--though it's said by her parents that she's been homeschooled during the pageant season for a few years now, so she's probably used to it at this point (unlike her siblings).
* HomeschooledKids: Downplayed--Lola's revealed to be homeschooled during the main competition season for beauty pageants so she has more time to prepare for them, hence why previous episodes showed her attending a regular elementary school like Lincoln, Lucy, Lana and Lisa. Lola's siblings (minus Lily, who's only fifteen months old) want to become this and are allowed to do so by their parents, but Lincoln and the rest of his sisters soon discover that homeschooling isn't really what they imagined it to be.
* OhCrap: This is the siblings' reaction when Lola informs them they will have a test at 8am-sharp the next morning, and every Friday afterwards--Lisa has another case of this when she learns that, as a Kindergartener, she ''will'' be graded on her arts-and-crafts projects instead of knowledge.

!!Selfie Improvement
* AscendedExtra: Until this episode, Carol Pingrey's appearances amounted to a brief cameo in "Picture Perfect" and a few passing mentions.
* BeeAfraid: When Lori tries to take a selfie of her sitting on a tire swing, the tire turns out to be filled with bees.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Lori does this when she wonders if tractor selfies are a thing.
* BunnyEarsPicturePrank: Lincoln does this to Lori in the episode’s title card.
* ButtMonkey: Lori suffers this role during her selfie montage.
* ContinuityNod: Among the people who liked Lori's tractor selfie, there are [[Recap/TheLoudHouseS2E9KickTheBucketListPartyDown Chaz]] and [[Recap/TheLoudHouseS1E14ToadsAndTiarasTwoBoysAndABaby Aunt Ruth]].
* ADayInTheLimelight: For Lori and, to a lesser extent, Carol.
* DungFu: When Lori is too busy with her selfie to change Lily’s diaper, Lily angrily throws the full diaper at her. In the next scene, Lori mentions that she took a 40 minute scalding hot shower afterwards.
* GagHaircut: Lincoln accidentally cuts of a large part of Lori’s hair with his toy helicopter. It only lasts for one scene though since Lori uses a comb over to restore it.
* GardenHoseSquirtSurprise: Happens to Lori when she wants to use the garden hose to fake rain for a selfie.
* HereWeGoAgain: The episode ends with Lori and Carol now working together to try and beat two other girls at getting more likes for their selfies.
* LiteralMinded:
** When Lori tells Bobby she wants to make the perfect leaf jumping selfie, Bobby remarks that leaves can’t jump.
** When Lori remarks that “cute lovable animals are [my] middle name”, Leni remarks that she thought Marie was Lori’s middle name. Lori's response is simply to pet her sister's head.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Lori, when she realizes she completely forgot about Bobby getting his wisdom teeth removed (something he was very nervous about and needed her support for) and dragged him into her selfie-obsession.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: You know how important beating Carol at making selfies is to Lori when she ignores Bobby's phone calls.
* TheRival: Carol to Lori, at least as far as Lori is concerned. Flashbacks show their rivalry goes back to kindergarten, with Carol always beating Lori at everything. Downplayed near the end of the episode when Carol confesses she thought Lori was better than her.
* RunningGag:
** Leni tells Lori about the other selfies.
** Lori’s selfies getting ruined by her siblings antics or just plain bad luck.
* SeriousBusiness: For Lori, having more likes than Carol for her selfies is ''really'' important. This is later deconstructed when she realizes that her obsession with beating Carol has caused her to neglect what's really important (Bobby). [[HereWeGoAgain Then the episode ends with Lori and Carol now working together to try and beat two other girls at getting more likes for their selfies:]]
-->'''Lori:''' "I swear on my senior parking's pass, my next selfie will get more likes than Carol Pingrey!"
* SitcomArchnemesis: This episode confirms that Lori sees Carol as one and that their rivalry goes back to kindergarten, with Carol always beating Lori at everything. Their "rivalry" stops at the end of the episode.

* ToiletHumor: Lori’s attempt to make a perfect selfie in the bathroom is ruined when Lana suddenly pops up out of the toilet’s water tank.

!!No Place Like Homeschool
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Excluding Lola, this is the reason why the Loud kids can’t focus on their schoolwork.
* BaitAndSwitch: The Loud kids hear an ice cream truck and rush outside, only to find out it’s just Mr. Grouse playing his CD of classic ice cream truck jingles. They fall for it again later in the episode. [[RuleofThree Finally]], at the end of the episode, they run out of the house when they think that they're about to miss the bus. It turns out that Mr. Grouse was playing his CD of classic school bus sounds.
* ContinuityNod:
** Lincoln wears his grown-up suit again, and again as part of trying to convince his parents to give him something.
** Mrs. Loud mentions that she’s working on her book, something that was first brought up in “A Novel Idea”.
** Lisa's bunker from "April Fools Rules" makes another appearance--she makes it clear to her siblings that her letting them use it is just in the case of an emergency, and that she's going to be changing the password for it.
* CrazyPrepared: Lisa’s bunker has an airhorn for scaring off post-apocalyptic mutants, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and/or Mr. Grouse]].
* EducationMama: A downplayed example--while they don't seem too strict when it comes to kids overall education, when it comes to homeschooling, Mr. and Mrs. Loud (particularly the latter) have set some fairly strict rules when it comes to homeschooling their kids, such as making it a rule that even if they fail so much as one test, they have to go back to attending a regular school.

Hence, they decide to tell the truth and all go back to regular school themselves.
