User blog:CartoonFan14/Review: Undie Pressure

So I think it is fair to say my last review had a really unpopular opinion. The people who like the episode really liked it, and those who dislike it strongly disliked it. I just thought it was solid, nothing spectacular or terrible. That out of the the way. Undie Pressure: This was my introduction to The Loud House, other than that I have no opening comment so let's dive right into the review.

The episode starts off with the sisters indulging in their activities, but when Lincoln starts to read comics in his underwaer, Lola calls him out. This is honestly the greatest start this episode could have. Everything in this scene just works, from some of the girls activities, to the sister that called Lincoln out. It all makes sense.

Lincoln is clearly irritated that Lola had the nerve to call his activity annoying, because he has been just fine in accepting their habits, so he snapped, and called out most of their annoying habits, and it all progresses so smoothly, and just makes sense to happen. This gets all the sisters irritated, and Lola gets an idea off of one of Lincoln's remarks.

Then we finally get into the plot, the siblings place a bet on who can put off their annoying habits the longest, my first real nitpick is some of the habits. Luna speaking in a brittish accent? Leni saying like? These never come uo again except for maybe one other episode. Sure I guess they couldn't think of anything for Leni, but Luna is constantly seen jamming on her radio. How about, Luna can't play her radio at max volume, and she can lose by cranking it up to 11 when her favorite song comes on.

There isn't much humor in the story, but the plot is interesting enough to where you don't mind, but when it gets to around Luan's elimination, the eliminations start getting humorous.

Then there's the ending to the bet, when Lincoln outsmarts Lola and thinks he has won. What follows next is really smart. Lincoln takes off the pants, and opens up a magazine as he gloats. But Lily finally reappears in the episode, and because she hasn't cried, she hasn't lost, and since Lincoln opened the magazine a.k.a. reading material, he in fact, is the loser. The idea of Lily remaining hidden and then being the winner is really smart, as Lily is an easily forgettable character anyways.

Then the actual ending to the episode, Lola enjoys seeing her reflection again, but that causes her to feel sorry for Lincoln, and she does something that is a feat that has yet to been matched by her since. She is the only one, and I mean the only one, who thinks Lincoln should be allowed to indulge in his habit again. Not only that, but she buys Lincoln the underwear from the catalog. And we get the ending to the hands-down greatest seaon one episode.

Nearly everything in this episode works, with a minor nitpick from me, I was really lucky to be introduced to The Loud House through such a fantastic episode.

Rating: 9.5/10
