Before any one says that well she didn't get punished in April fools rules, yes I'm aware of that but that works for the episode, April fools rules is one of my favorite episodes as it's a type of episode of a show that I really like. That type is one I like to call a character unhinged episode, were a character has one aspect of there personality or physical nature multiplied to make for some rather funny and some what intense stories, examples of these are episodes like "little ed blue" ed edd n eddy, "party of one" mlp, "lesson zero" also mlp. The over the top nature of there personality being multiplied lead to and sometimes hilarious disturbing moments, most importantly it's all the played for laughs and isn't very emotional for the characters in the least or it is it's very serious. It's situational comedy at it finest. So long as it keeps it simple and purely physical, never touching anything emotionally hurtful and just all around cartoonist, some shows do this to teach a moral at the end like mlp ones. While others it's just purely over the top situational comedy like this one and the ed edd n Eddy episode. I don't mind mean spirited humor like a lot of the fandom. On of my favorite shows ed Edd n Eddy is pretty mean spirited, thou what works with that show and not the loud house is that the loud tend not to handle it's mean spirited humor well, the main reason is it often feels undeserved unlike in ed edd n Eddy were is very and I mean very karma heavy, or simply it's not over the top and cartoony enough like in episodes like no such luck feeling all to real. It works here in like that ed edd n Eddy one there isn't much karma but the scenes and interactions of characters are done very well and it's slap stick is on maximum like in April fools rules. That what also April fools rules does well is the character reactions and interactions, they treat luan with so much dread it's hilarious, I would describe luan on April fools like mr popo from dbza. Laws of space, time and karma doesn't effect her all and we are all at the bottom of her pecking order.

Also Lincoln kind of had it coming as he acted kinda idiotic and stupid and could of easily have told Ronnie Ann to meet him somewhere else like the arcade or simply just only de pranks the front of the house where she would be coming from. Also the siblings and parents where perfectly okay with Luan being locked in a cage for an entire day with little food and water is assumed. My theory is that she only targeted Linc in particular this April fools to get him and Ronnie Ann closer and only monologued at the end to test her to she was right for Linc which is why she smiled and said she was a keeper, she only increased their intensity because planned on locking her in a cage without any regret. Also luan says people on their property is fair game and she sent Leni off the property meaning she was spared propably cause she knew her siblings would trick her and basically use her as a guinea pig, also to get them in vanzilla but that's besides the point.

Any that's my own sense on the episode and why it's one of my favorites. I might be biased as luan is best sister I'll admit.
