A Tale of Two Tables

"A Tale of Two Tables" is the eighth episode of The Loud House.

Plot
Lincoln is annoyed by the messy and annoying antics of his younger sisters at the "kiddie table". He thinks that he's grownup and old enough to eat at the "grownup table", with his older sisters and parents, but when the "grown-up" table isn't what it's cut out to be, Lincoln wishes to return.

Synopsis
One evening, Lincoln is annoyed by the messy and annoying antics of his younger sisters at the "kiddie table", and he envies his older sisters, who get to eat with Mom and Dad at the "grownup table". Some time later, he gets Clyde to come over to help him prove that he is mature. After following Clyde's lessons on talking 'adult", learning the individual table utensils and looking sharp, Lincoln manages to get his parents' approval to get a seat at the grownup table.

However, the experience of being mature proves to be not as exciting as Lincoln had hoped; there's no singing or joke-telling, the family engages in boring small talk, and liver is served rather than chicken nuggets. That night, Lincoln has a nightmare in which he is bound to the grownup table. Upon waking up, Lincoln realizes that it's his fault for wanting to be so mature and devises a plan to get back to the kiddie table.

The next evening, he arrives at the grownup table and makes a fool of himself by imitating his younger sisters' unsavory and crazy table manners. When his parents have enough of his behavior and ask him if he wants to go back to the kiddie table, Lincoln happily obliges and joins an in-progress food fight to celebrate Lincoln's return. As he happily engages in the mess, Lynn asks if she can join them. Lincoln agrees and Lynn says she never thought it would be possible to leave the grown up table. The other older sisters join their younger siblings as well, and the 11 children start a big food fight as the segment ends.

Trivia

 * This segment, along with "The Sweet Spot", was released on Nick.com and other digital platforms on April 1, 2016, ahead of its television premiere.
 * During that time, the video file had the segments switched. This would play before "The Sweet Spot".
 * When Lincoln turns on C-SPAM, the stock ticker on the bottom of the TV screen reads "Morgan Ltd.", a reference to prop designer Jared Morgan.
 * The musical sting when Lincoln looks at Bun-Bun on his bed is Vibe Link (b), a recurring cue on another Nickelodeon show SpongeBob SquarePants.
 * Like in "The Sweet Spot", Lori never says the word "literally" in this segment.
 * Innuendo: Clyde says "Don't worry beautiful, I'll share my buns with you" to the cardboard cutout of Lori.

Errors

 * While Lincoln's parents faces are turkeys, Lynn Sr.'s pants on the left are not in the right position.
 * When Lincoln arrived before he goes to the Grownup Table, Lynn Sr.'s checked collar is white instead of light green.

Running Gag

 * Someone saying "peace" and someone else jokingly asks if they said "peas", and playfully flings peas at them.
