Synopsis
Lincoln explains that all his sisters have won a number of trophies like, Lynn's soccer tryouts, Lola's pageant crowns, Lisa's noble prize, and even Lily won trophies by sucking her thumb. Lincoln is the only one without a trophy, award, certificate, plaque, medal, nor an accolade. He tries everything to get a trophy, three flashbacks are shown, the first one shows Lincoln running a marathon, only to fail miserably, the second one shows Lincoln at a karate tournament trying to chop three planks of woods, but he broke his hand and gained a cast, the third and final one shows Lincoln in a kid pageant, only to be runner-up.

Lincoln says he finally has his chance, by entering in a video contest. He explains whoever's video gets the most votes, they can win a trophy, Clyde asks if Lincoln thinks he can win, and the latter says yes, but the former mentions the results of the pageant from earlier. Angered, Lincoln says he was robbed, then tells Clyde to get his camera. Later, at Lincoln house, he is covered in breath mints, attempted to skateboard in a kiddie pool full of soda, he succeeded as the soda forms a geyser. Clyde approves this and claims everyone is going to vote for Lincoln. But, when they upload the video, he got no votes at all.

Clyde says the reason nobody is voting for Lincoln, is because of a video called "Hamstacam", which got 50 votes. Annoyed, Lincoln wonders what's so great about a simple hamster, which offends his hamster, Geo. Lincoln then states he's awesome. A comment appears to say to check out Lincoln's sister website, they clicked the link to see its Luan. Lincoln is shocked to see that Luan has 50,000 followers, and hopes Luan can help them win. Upstairs, in her and Luna's room, Luan examines the video, she doesn't approve. She states that stunts aren't gonna cut it. Desperate to know how to make an entertaining video, he asks her how, she says to follow her number #1 rule: to always keep your camera on you, as you never know when you'll find "Comedy gold".

Outside, the duo trying to find humorous stuff to film, Clyde spots Lynn repeatedly bouncing a soccer ball on her head with Clyde wondering if she will get hit by the rake, Lincoln gets an idea and both of them hide in a bush, while Lynn is counting she accidentally stumbles backwards by getting hit by the rake, then the soccer ball, launches her into the trampoline, and she gets drenched in the soda in the pool.

Lincoln was astonished by this and the only way to beat Hamstacam is by filming his ten sisters, then a montage plays of the duo filming Lincoln's sisters doing embarrassing and funny things, once the video is uploaded, his classmates are impressed and vote for him. Once they make fun of his sisters, he regrets this. As Clyde and Lincoln walk home, the latter says his sisters would never know about it. Unfortunately, his sisters are enraged that Lincoln embarrassed them, he explains that he wanted to win a trophy like the girls, but they are too furious at him.

Lori was the most angry at him because when she farts she lies by saying it her shoes. He tries to apologize to them, but no prevail, and then turns to Luan because she was the one who told him to do it, but she says that he broke the rule, never upload the video without anyone's permission, then she shuts the door on him. Lincoln is devastated and heartbroken that all his sisters hate him.

He immediately deletes the video, thus disqualifying himself. Lincoln gets an idea of how he can make it up to his sisters. He runs to Luan to help him, she opens her closet to see many video tapes from Lincoln's past. He then uploads a new video of him doing embarrassing and funny things to himself this time, but to Lincoln dismay, his classmates teased him (with one named "Cristina", who is shocked that Lincoln has a crush on her) and say that his new video isn't gonna help him win the contest.

He sadly walks home, before walking in, he hopes his sisters will reconcile with him, but when he open the door his sisters still looks angry. He is mortified that it didn't work, and tries to apologize to them and explains that he embarrassed himself to make it up to them. Luckily, they are happy and joyful that he embarrassed himself to get even, and they walk up to him and they forgive him. Luan consoles Lincoln that he didn't win the trophy, and Lori says they appreciate what he did and gives him a small trophy. Grateful, Lincoln thanks them. After Luna, Lola, and Lynn embraces him, he runs to the trophy case and puts it in his empty spot.

The trophy has a #1 on the top and says "Most Improved Brother" on the bottom, Lincoln is glad that he won a trophy, he then awkwardly says Cristina is switching classes, and is even more glad that his sisters no longer despise him, and that he finally made the case. A fart can be heard, much to Lincoln's confusion, it turns out it was Lori who farted and she still lies by angrily stating it was her shoe, as her siblings stare at her, ending the episode.
