For Bros About to Rock: As Lincoln and Clyde prepare to attend their first rock concert, Luna is determined to make it a memorable experience for them.

It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House: Lincoln and his sisters find a letter in the attic that convinces them there's a hidden stash of money in the house. Lincoln and his sisters destroy the house in search of the money, and beat each other all the time, until they realize it's not worth hating each other over money.

"It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House"

  • Actually Pretty Funny: Lynn Sr. punishes the children for fighting over money by having them clean the attic:
    Luan: That punishment makes no cents!
    Lynn Sr.: Upstairs! But that was a good one...
  • Didn't Think This Through: Lynn Sr. putting his son and nine daughters nearly on a wild goose chase in teaching them about sharing bites him hard and does not go scot-free for the mess of their house. His wife forces him to clean up the attic.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: The siblings had to learn not to argue over money to eventually find the huge bushel of it that they split evenly.
  • Facepalm: Lincoln when he finally realizes the answer behind the first clue.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Lynn Sr. set the whole thing up to teach his kids a lesson in sharing. It worked, but in the process, the kids have completely wrecked the house, and he now has to clean up their mess.
  • Hidden Depths: When Leni manages to easily unlock the suitcase full of money, with just her barrette, her siblings are left stunned:
  • Hypocrite: The sisters kick Lincoln out of their rooms when he asks them if they found the stash of money. Later on, they barge into Lincoln's room and demand he let them search his room.
  • Hypocritical Humor: After teaching his kids to share, Lynn Sr. pockets some money he found in the attic. Then he promptly gets smacked in the face by a loose floorboard.
  • Karma Houdini: The Loud children never get punished for wrecking the house while searching the money, and Rita never gets punished for her part in the "Sharon DeMonet" thing.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Lynn Sr. gets hit in the face by a loose floorboard in the attic after starting the entire "Sharon DeMonet" thing in order to teach the kids to share, and for being hypocritical by pocketing change he found in the attic.
  • Man Bites Man: In the kids' fight over a quarter, Lola bites Lincoln. This gets Lynn Sr. to stop the fighting.
  • Punny Name: Sharon DeMonet.
  • Rake Take: A Running Gag concerns Lincoln stepping on a loose floorboard in the attic, causing it to hit him in the face. Lynn Sr. ends up getting hit by the same gag in the end.
  • The Un-Reveal: Lynn Sr.'s full body is seen for the first time as a shadow cast on the wall.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: To It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, complete with a Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title.
  • Would Hit a Girl: In two scenes, Lincoln appears hitting his sisters: first he punches Lynn and kicks Lucy in the face when they try to snatch the note from him; then he uses a chair and a red cloth to “tame” Lori, Luna, Luan, Lynn (again) and the twins when they try to break into his room. Not only he does this out of self-defence, but he also does it because he was vying with them for money. We can see that he is not so helpless after all.
