User blog:AustinDR/Review: Potty Mouth

I'll start by saying how funny it is that the wiki has a no-profanity rule, and yet here's an episode where a baby curses. Initially, this wasn't an episode that I was pumped for, because I felt that it was too cliched and predictable. As I have said, I have seen this sort of plot go down in shows like SpongeBob, Baby Looney Tunes and the like, so it came off as underwhelming. Basically, Lily was to be interviewed that day, but the problem is that Lily seemed to have picked up on a certain word, so now the Loud kids have to find a way to change their behavior so that their baby sister wouldn't blot her chances at attending school.

As I have said, I wasn't really looking forward to this episode as it was too formulaic for my tastes. However, what I can say that was kind of original was that the kids try to change their behavior so that they wouldn't be a bad influence on Lily. With shows like SpongeBob or the Powerpuff Girls, there hasn't been that type of scenario if I remember correctly. There were some pretty hilarious moments in the episode such as Lana singing "Jingle Bells" when she purposefully smashes her fingers with a hammer, or Leni and Lori intentionally ripping a shirt and sharing it. Also, Lisa as a baby was also kind of funny, especially with how the interviewer was astonished at the sight of a "1-year-old" being gifted. However, tehre were a few issues I had with the episode. The idea that Lily was saying "doughnut" the entire time was kind of dumb. From the way the word was being said, there is no way on Earth that it could be easily construed as the other word starting with a D. That, and there were hardly any mentions of doughnuts earlier, so the twist that she was saying "doughnut" seemed like a contrived explanation. That, and as funny as it was seeing Lisa act like Lily, she purposefully soils her own diaper.....ew.......I'm getting memories of "Squid Baby" again......

Anyway, another okay episode. It isn't bad, but I don't fully intend to watch it again. On an unrelated note, do you feel like I should change my rating scale, or is it fine as is?
 * Final score: 3 1/2 stars out of 5
