User blog:AlexKawa/Episode Review: Fool Me Twice

OK, so here we finally are. I reviewed City Slickers last week, and I did not like it. I gave it a D+, and looking back, I may have been being slightly too generous. I mean, it's bad, you guys! So if that one was bad, imagine how I figured this one would be! I mean, I was really looking forward to seeing the Casagrandes again, but I was unexcited for another April Fools Day episode. So, if an episode I was looking forward to turned out back, imagine how an episode I was NOT looking forward to would turn out.

But, to my surprise, this episode was good!

So, as far as the April Fools trilogy goes, I hated April Fools Rules, though Fool's Paradise was pretty good, but did not make me want another April Fools episode. And this episode came out just a couple weeks after Luan became my least favorite of the Loud siblings. So there was just no way this was gonna fix her for me.

One thing I don't get at all is how Luan knew the family hired stunt doubles. Did they tell her? Did she see the family paying them? I don't know, because it's never explained! And the scenes where the doubles make the family laughingstocks throughout the town, I mean, the stuff they did wasn't SO bad. I mean, at least Lincoln's double never said he loved Mrs. Johnson in front of Lincoln's friends. And I found some of these scenes pretty funny, but each family member fainting one by one got old and predictable FAST!

The ending was fantastic, though! It was nice to see Luan genuinely sorry and willing to make up for her pranks. And the ending where Lincoln reveals they had packed all her stuff in the truck was awesome! OK, I know I said the line about selling Lincoln's furniture in No Such Luck was funny because of how out of nowhere and subtle it sounded, given the situation, but this was even better, because I have no doubt here that Luan deserved it!

Overall, good episode. How does it hold up with the rest of the April Fools trilogy, well, certainly better than April Fools Rules, but not quite Fool's Paradise. But overall, I enjoyed it.

Rating: B

Overall, really not a good week. I mean, City Slickers was bad, Fool Me Twice was good, but not enough to make up for it. Still, The Loud House has gotten over plenty of bad episodes in the past fairly easily, so I'm sure we'll get over City Slickers in no time. And even then, at least Lincoln's sisters don't have any redeeming to undergo from that episode, since they weren't the problem. So, that's all from me! See you, well, I don't know when, but hopefully sometime in March. And if you live in the U.S., have a great long weekend for Presidents Day!
