User blog:AnimationFan15/My Underrated Episodes

I originally did this on my DeviantArt, and I'll do it again here.

Also, I must reiterate whenever I do a blog post with content like this, I'll respect your opinions if you respect mine in return. Any trash talk will be removed without warning, as I want to avoid any heated arguments breaking out.

​Episodes I consider underrated
NOTE: These episodes are not ranked. I'm just listing them off as I go.

'''​1. Raw Deal'''



Why it's hated: Lincoln misses out on the fun, and no one seems to be concerned about Lincoln's paranoia.

Why I liked it: I remember when I first saw this episode, it was the very first episode I fell in love with that almost no one else seemed to like. A lot of the haters seem to point their fingers at Lucy, saying it's all her fault that Lincoln's day got ruined. Ahem, I beg to differ. It wasn't entirely Lucy's fault, it was also Lincoln's own fault. If you remember, when Lucy pulled up Lincoln's tarot card, she was appalled at what it was, and tried to hide it from Lincoln, but Lincoln was so desperate to know what it was, and when he was told, he immediately panicked. Some people also thought this episode's moral was lousy, but I think it was handled perfectly. It's moral is that fortunes are only made for entertainment, and should never be taken seriously. But, the biggest reasons why this episode is so hated is because throughout the whole day, Lincoln skips out on everything fun, and none of his family members are concerned in the slightest. However, the excuses Lincoln comes up with for deciding to skip out were hilarious, and no matter how many times I see Lincoln make up these excuses, I just crack up every time. So yeah, if you're not some kind of softie, you'll enjoy this episode as much as me, because this really is one of the funniest episodes I have seen, and one of the reasons why Karla Sakas Shropshire is one of my favorite writers.

'''​2. Not a Loud'''



Why it's hated: It's a Clincoln McCloud episode (seriously, haters?), it has a running joke that's too repetitive, and the backstory was too out-of-the-ordinary.

Why I liked it: Wow, I have never laughed so hard while watching a Loud House episode in a long time. One element of this episode I liked is that it has this mystery buildup of what Lincoln's past was like. The sisters' details about Lincoln's birth just adds in to what his birth was really like. As I stated, one of the major reasons why this episode is hated is because it's a Clincoln McCloud episode. If you guys know me, I really don't mind Clincoln McCloud episodes. It makes me believe that those who hate the episode because of this reason think that every episode must be about Lincoln's relationship with his sisters, and nothing else. The episode has this running joke that follows this formula: Lincoln asks one of his older sisters what happened on his birth, they give an answer that sounds out of place, Lincoln thinks he could be like a character on one of his DVDs, Clyde would remark "That would explain the white hair.", Lincoln would point out characteristics that the character has that he doesn't, Lincoln and Clyde propose a field test, and it ends up in failure. The episode did this joke four times, and while everyone hated that because of its repetitiveness, I'm just sitting here, laughing like I'm deranged, because of how hilarious it was. But then we come to the biggest insult this episode provided: Lincoln's real birth story, where the FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States) was the one who delivered Lincoln. Many hated this scene because they thought it was too out of place, and they wanted it to be as realistic as possible, such as the delivery actually taking place at a hospital, and not have politics involved. I, on the other hand, liked that scene, because it's one of those "so bad, it's funny" type of moments, and if there's enough proof that it was real, hell, I'd believe it. Also, it debunked the whole "Lincoln is adopted" theory, so that's one major reason to like the episode.

'''​3. No Laughing Matter'''



Why it's hated: Luan comes off as somewhat unlikeable (what?), and the episode is expecting us to feel bad for Luan, even though she's the one who pranks her siblings in a rather rude manner.

Why I liked it: If you guys know me, Luan is my favorite character in The Loud House. The main reason why I like Luan the most is because her style of humor is really charming to me. Her gig is that she likes comedy, and her one goal is to make everyone laugh. However, most of her comedy consists of nothing but bad puns, and everyone thinks that her content is lame. What makes it funny is that despite her comedy being panned, Luan is completely clueless about it, and she strives to make them laugh one day. This episode is the epitome of what makes me really like Luan. In a way, it reminds me of , one of my all-time favorite movies, because as Ralph said in the opening, "It becomes kind of hard to love your job when no one seems to like you for doing it." When Luan overhears her siblings venting about how annoying she can be with her comedy, it dawned on Luan that she is not funny, and because of that, she realizes that won't achieve anything if she kept on going. To me, I felt bad for Luan, because she's trying so hard to please everyone, yet, no one likes her for it. She just gives up on the one thing that she loves most in life, and I couldn't help but feel bad. If there's one scene I liked in particular, it's when the siblings try to get Luan back into comedy by setting up scenarios so Luan can deliver some sort of punchline. Why I like that scene is because of how straightforward Luan is, giving rational answers instead of making some kind of joke about it. I also liked the ending, where the siblings apologize to Luan for making her lose interest in comedy, because even if they find her jokes bad, it's what makes Luan happy, and if she's happy, everyone else will be happy. To me, the only way to really like this episode is if Luan is one of your absolute favorite characters, because if she isn't, it becomes kind of hard to connect with her. Overall, I like this episode because it demonstrates why Luan is my favorite of the Loud sisters.
