Disproportionate Retribution is when it's in-universe. Karmic Overkill is the YMMV version.


* Lincoln can come across as this at times, usually when fans feel his actions [[DisproportionateRetribution don't fit the punishment he's meted out]]:

* Lincoln can come across as this at times, usually when fans feel his actions [[DisproportionateRetribution [[KarmicOverkill don't fit the punishment he's meted out]]:



** In "One Flu Over the Loud House", he wants to escape his sick family members, and this is meant to make him come across as mean and selfish, with Leni frequently calling him out on it, even to the point of accusing him of "turning into a monster". However, he had every right to not want to get sick, and the flu was shown to be very contagious and to make its sufferers act like zombies. Add that to the fact that he was trying to protect his healthy sisters as well as himself, and he planned on having Clyde come over and bring the sick Louds medical supplies and food.



* All of the Louds, minus Luan and Lily, in "Silence of the Luans". They're seemingly set up as the bad guys for locking up Luan and [[CassandraTruth not believing her when she says she didn't booby trap the house]]. However, given all the past April Fools, it's hard to blame them, given how beaten up and scarred they got from Luan's previous April pranks. Lynn Sr. is even shown to have been traumatized from the previous pranking sprees. Yet, the scene where they get pranked in Vanzilla is meant to be PlayedForLaughs.

** Most fans will disagree that Lincoln's punishment in "No Such Luck" was appropriate for his actions, unlike what Creator/ChrisSavino reportedly said about it. While it's true Lincoln [[SureLetsGoWithThat made the rumor worse]] and broke one of Lori's golf clubs just to convince her and Lisa, the family went way too far in the end and ended up kicking him out of the house. [[AbusiveParents Including Mr. and Mrs. Loud!]] With everything his family did you can't help but feel sorry for him. Some people also sympathize with his desire to have a little time for himself, as the episode shows that he has to go to a lot of his sisters' events and thus has very little free time.

* Despite nobody taking sides in the main feud of ''Twas the Fight Before Christmas'', Lynn Sr. largely comes as the more innocent party considering the feud started when Lance stole the spatula Lynn Sr. had gotten, and then has the gall to get angry when Lynn pops his ab blaster exercise ball by accident, [[NeverMyFault when it was his own actions that led to it being ruined]]. Yet in spite of this, he ''and'' Lynn Sr. are made out to be equally in the wrong.

* Depending on who you ask, the Kitty from "Kings of the Con". He's a BaseBreakingCharacter with half of the audience hating him due to not being playing card themed and Lincoln and Clyde being made to change his litter box, but the other half thinking that he did nothing wrong and was only aggressive because the boys kidnapped him, with some even calling the fight scene "animal cruelty".

* Lynn's jealousy of Margo in "Hero Today, Gone Tomorrow" is actually very understandable, since the latter was getting all sorts of privileges from the Royal Woods citizens for a literal lucky shot, whereas Lynn was never really shown to have any of that beforehand despite her bigger contributions to the team (besides being able to skip a line at the local burger joint). This is less Margo's fault and more the people of Royal Woods', who are oddly eager to spoil her.

* In "This Bird Has Flown," Bobby is meant to be seen as in the wrong for lashing out at Sergio and telling him to never come back. However, the reason why he gets angry at Sergio is because the bird keeps teasing him and upstaging him. He even poops on Bobby's head. You could say Sergio brought Bobby's rarely-seen rage upon himself.

** He and Clyde are meant to be seen as the bad guys in "Kings of the Con" for kidnapping a cat and trying to get the Ace movie to themselves. But while their scheme was wrong, it's still easy to feel sorry for them, given that the judges were rather biased against them and their attempts to win their approval, favoring the sisters instead. Not to mention, they didn't mean to annoy the judges earlier. It doesn't help that at the end, Lincoln and Clyde are put in the movie as cat pooper scoopers, which comes off as a CruelTwistEnding to some fans.

** In "Snow Way Out," Lana is treated as selfish for keeping her siblings at the Burpin' Burger. Fair enough at first, since she makes them all eat far more than they're willing to have for the ticket to meet her favorite racer.[[note]]That said, at the third round of burgers, she simply told her siblings to unwrap them, telling them she and Hops would eat the burgers for breakfast tomorrow.[[/note]] However, it crosses hardcore into this midway through the episode, when the family is snowed in and Flip, who had also been trying to win the ticket (just, openly, so he could scalp it at a fortune), [[MoralEventHorizon refuses to give any of them a ride out because she wouldn't give it up to him]], followed by capping it off by saving the sole employee who had been present and then backing into the building just so they couldn't leave themselves. Her siblings get mad at ''her'' for being "too selfish" to comply with this monstrous request, and in the end she's left with no choice but to do it. Between her apologizing to the rest of the family and Flip [[KarmaHoudini getting away with this]] when he often does face comeuppance for lesser actions (the closest he gets is a bit of snow in his face, which... isn't a lot), it's clear that we as viewers are meant to see her as in the wrong, with this only [[ThrowTheDogABone barely mitigated]] by her being able to meet and assist said racer on the roadside in the end.

** Leni's group in "Grub Snub" is meant to be seen in the wrong for seemingly taking over Lincoln's group hangout spot. However, aside from eating their food, Leni's group never does anything wrong; they are never shown to be rude at any point to Lincoln and his friends and make it clear they just want a fun place to hang out together. They plainly state to Lincoln's group that it’s the only place that works for all five of them because their previous hangout closed down, but the younger kids show no sympathy to this. It doesn't help that Lincoln and his friends act like such jerkasses, it's hard to blame Leni and her friends for feeling offended and fighting back towards the group. Yet Leni apologizes, despite not having a reason to feel sorry at all.
** Lincoln, Clyde, Stella, and Zach taking shortcuts in "Farm to Unstable" got Liam's family farm in trouble with the customers, but their earlier failed attempts were from the animals not cooperating instead of their incompetence or lack of trying. Not to mention, Liam wouldn't have had to ask them for help if his family had planned things out better, since his dad and brother are attending an egg convention.
