User blog:CartoonFan14/Review: Out on a Limo

Let me just say, I absolutely hate when shows do this kind of plot! They make the main character of the episode unlikable, try to make us feel bad for characters who get little to no screentime, and try to resolve everything in this episode in a half baked way that falls flat on its face. So when I found out The Loud House was doing an episode like this, I didn't have high hopes. The question is, did Out on a Limo surpass my expectations, or does it follow the not only terrible, but beaten into the ground and unoriginal way. Let's take on this episode and find out!

So the episode starts off with Lincoln waiting for a Limo, as he explains to the viewers that he won a mustard sweepstakes, which means he gets his very own limo for half day, and then the limo shows up after Lincoln gives us the lowdown on the situatuation, and he and his sisters run into the limo, and we see his sisters want to use the limo for themselves, but Lori says to let Lincoln enjoy his day, and Lincoln, very grateful f9r this, promises to pick the girls up later to take them out to eat.

The setup is really great, the humor is decent, there is some cute Lily scenes, and Lori is really nice in the scene. My hopes are a little higher for the rest of the episode.

Then we get the actual Limo ride, we see Lincoln has no intention of being a snobbosh jerk to Kirby, his chauffeur. Just a heads up Kirby is the best character in the entire episode. Lincoln gets a ride to Flip's, and Flip acts like Lincoln is the king or something, and treats him to a Flippy, on the house. Which is pretty funny to say the least. Then Tetherby shows up.

Quick questions: Is Tetherby necessary? Why is he necessary? Could the episode be just fine, if not, great without Tetherby? Was there any sort of signifigance to this character at all? The answers in order are: No. He isn't. Yes it could. No there wasn't.

Anyways, Tetherby single-handedly makes the middle of the wpisode unfunny and hard to sit through, as he slowly teaches Lincoln to be a total douchebag. And because Lincoln has become a total douchebag, he blows his sisters off, much to their sadnesss/fury.

Now this is a big problem because of the following: The sisters aren't in the episode enough for me to care, and because Lincoln is still a total douchebag to them.

Anyways again, now Lincoln is on his way to Tetherby's gala, when he is a total douchenag to Kirby, which is why Kirby has no problem throwing Lincoln out on the highway when the time is up, and we see Lincoln get his comeuppance for being a total douchebag, but it goes way to far having the poor boy get tortured all because of Tetherby. So you are left conflicted as to whether to think of Lincoln as an asshole, or feel bad for the guy. And none of these scenes are funny.

Finally the ending, which is handled really nicely with Lincoln promising never to be a total douchebag again, and he fills out his his promise of taking them out to out in the limo. Also, they give Tetherby his comeuppance, which is way too satisfying.

So think of Out on a Limo as a burger with perfect hamburger buns (beginning and ending), but a raw patty (middle). Which is capable of killing the person eating it (the viewer).

I've thought of two ways this episode could work on my own, and there was probably a team of writers working on this awful episode.

So before I rate the episode, writers everywhere, unless you are extremely experienced at this stuff, do not try to do the "person gets rich/the good life/famous/popular, and loses sight of what's important, only to have his bubble burst and he comes crahsing down to reality" I never got why a plot the almoat always fails is reused so many times.

Rating: 4.5/10

Should I make a blog about ways Out on a Limo Could've worked Yes No
