User blog:AustinDR/The Worst Lincoln Torture Episodes

Now, this was a list long-coming. Ever since Mr. Enter coined the "Squidward TP" term, it seems that other shows had taken an interest in subjecting their main characters to torture for no other reason than for torture's sake. With the Loud House, I have mentioned how the show does engage in some mean-spirited humor here and there, but more often than not, they are able to execute it well without it becoming insulting. However, there are some moments that end up being deplorable than humorous, especially whenever it's directed towards Lincoln. Like I've said, one of the reasons as to why Lincoln is an endearing protagonist is that - in a way - we are all Lincoln. We have moments where nothing goes according to plan in our lives, or when we're always coming short of what we think is our due. While that makes him relatable, Lincoln can also be seen as an audience surrogate, being made to witness his sisters' antics. With that being said, it's sometimes disheartening to see Lincoln being made to endure punishments, particularly if he hadn't done anything to warrant the punishment. There are many times that the humor misses its mark, thereby becoming irritating.

Before getting into my list, there are a few rules. For one, Lincoln has to be the sole character to receive the short end of the stick. Therefore, his sisters are exempt. Secondly, episodes in which Lincoln is intentionally a jerk (or in the wrong) also won't have a spot on the list. Lastly, no episodes in which Lynn does something to Linc will be on the list. Why? Because you can easily name several times in which Lynn hits him, karate chops him, beats him, etc. that it would make its own list on its own. With that being said, let's get onto the list.
