"Lincoln Loud: Girl Guru"
- And Your Little Dog, Too!: Kat and Joy voice their displeasure over Lincoln “and his weird little friend, too.”
- Continuity Nod:
- Lincoln and Clyde sing "Shortnin' Bread" while making the pies.
- Lily can be seen lying on top of the shirt Lincoln gave her in "Changing the Baby".
- Didn't See That Coming: This is Lincoln and Clyde's reaction when their angry customers continue to chase them despite getting their money back.
- Gasshole: In a flashback, Lynn gives Lincoln a Dutch oven (again). This leads Lincoln to conclude that girls in general like them (which turns out not to be true).
- Girls Love Chocolate: At the beginning, Lincoln and Clyde try to make chocolate pies, but Lincoln finds that his sisters, all notorious "chocoholics", ate all the bars he needed for them. Also, giving a girl chocolate was the only bit of advice that applied to a girl other than the Loud sisters.
- Given Name Reveal: Mrs. Johnson's first name is revealed to be Agnes.
- Guilt by Association Gag: Lincoln's customers go after both him and Clyde, when the latter's involvement in Lincoln's scheme was minimal at best.

- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Lincoln's girl advice relates to what his sisters like, only to discover that what's true for them isn't necessarily true for every other girl or woman. To a lesser extent, just because a guy might have a bunch of sisters, that doesn't automatically make him a "girl expert."
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: In this episode, the Loud sisters as a whole play the tomboys compared to the more conventionally feminine girls at Lincoln's school. Lincoln and Clyde falsely assume that all girls share the same interests, traits, and preferences as his sisters, including Lynn and Lana's gross habits, Luan's fondness for pranks, Lisa's cold and clinical science mind, and even Lucy's dark and morbid interests. Needless to say, this doesn't turn out well for them.
- What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: Every time Lincoln and Clyde come up with a new business plan, they ask themselves "How hard could it be?" Needless to say, every plan results in a failure.
