Lori Loud/Relationships

This page describes all of Lori Loud's relationships with her family and friends.

Her siblings generally
Lori is often very bossy, dominating, and tyrannical as the oldest, like in "Driving Miss Hazy", only giving lifts in exchange for her chores. She demands they treat her as a superior, and when their parents are out and she's put in charge, she enforces rules against their pleasures, but she loves them deeply and is always there to come to their aid when in need.

Out of all her siblings, she is closest to Leni, Lincoln, Lola, Lucy and Lily.

Lincoln
She is often very mean and bossy towards Lincoln in some moments. Despite this unpleasantness, Lori deeply loves him, although she doesn't admit it. She is always there for Lincoln even when times are rough for him.

In the pilot, she deliberately cuts in front of him to use the bathroom when he really has to go. Lincoln chases Lori out of the bathroom with one of Lily's dirty diapers so he can meet with his "pressing engagement". In "Get the Message", she furiously berates Lincoln for entering her room by mistake and angrily warns him to stay out of her room or she will turn him into a human pretzel if she sees him in there again. Later, Lori accidentally breaks Lincoln's video game and doesn't initially apologize. This leads Lincoln to write a hateful letter to her, and send her a nasty message. However, she unexpectedly bought him a new copy of the destroyed game and apologizes for destroying the first one, which she states was very mature of Lincoln for not freaking out over it. She later erases the message herself and berates him for calling her phone, despite not hearing the full message. Although she gave Lincoln a pass on this, Lori found the written letter about her in the bathroom and becomes enraged towards Lincoln. Lori's nastiness to Lincoln throughout the story makes it difficult to decipher just how sincere her apology was to him, as it seemed that she simply did not want to be bothered by him on that day.

In "Save the Date", Lori becomes very angrily and violent to Lincoln as she threw numerous of things at him. She explained that Bobby broke up with her, due to Lincoln making Bobby's sister Ronnie Anne cry over his harsh comments about her. Lori then forced Lincoln to go on a double date with Ronnie Anne and make her feel like the most special girl in the world, so Bobby could get back together with Lori. Like his other siblings, Lincoln detests Lori's bossiness over them. In "No Guts, No Glori", he stages an uprising to end Lori's tyrannical babysitting methods while their parents are out. In "Driving Miss Hazy", she forces favors from him and the rest of her siblings in exchange for rides around town, forcing Lincoln to do her laundry. In "No Guts, No Glori", it is shown that when the two get along, they can make a pretty good team.

Despite the above, within the first season, she quickly seemed to have gone from one of the meaner sisters towards Lincoln, to one of the friendlier. In "Out on a Limo", she kindly suggests for Lincoln to enjoy the limo ride himself for a while before the rest of them all go for a ride in it. In "A Novel Idea", she was the first to give her sympathies towards Lincoln, when she thinks that he had a boring day while she and the other sisters had a good time. In "A Fair to Remember", the development of their inter-relation from rough to sweet is really emphasized. Finally in "Ties That Bind", when Lincoln mistakenly believed he was to be kicked out of the house, Lori refused to let this happen and immediately led the siblings in confronting their parents on this misunderstanding.

In "The Waiting Game", the entire story centers around their relationship. After Lincoln informs Lori about a job opening so she can earn enough money for a dress for a school dance, she offers him free root beers and pizza for him and his friend Clyde. However as the episode goes on, Lincoln begins to take advantage of her to get whatever he wants and she is forced to give in to him. Near the end of the episode Lori tells Lincoln that thanks to him she isn't able to go to the dance with Bobby and sarcastically (but not maliciously) "thanks" him in a sad tone. Now realizing his mistake, Lincoln explains what happened to Lori's boss, and he offers Lori a deal that she can go to the dance, and Lincoln fills in for her. She thanks him at the end of the segment, and they hug before she leaves for the dance with Bobby. She even gives Lincoln sympathy for having to miss Chandler's party.

Their relationship comes into focus again in "A Fair to Remember", where Lori encourages Lincoln to go to a monster truck rally with Bobby as she was not interested in going. When the two become close, Lori becomes jealous as Bobby starts paying more attention to Lincoln, going so far as to "date" Clyde in retaliation. Lincoln sees how much Lori feels neglected, and convinces Bobby to spend more time with her. Lori thanks Lincoln and agrees with Bobby that Lincoln really is a "great bro".

In "The Whole Picture", it is revealed that Lori was the first who fed Lincoln ice cream, and she used to swing him as a toddler.

Leni
Although Lori and Leni differ from one another in both kindness and intelligence, they are actually very close. They are both enthusiastic about fashion, taking selfies, and talking about boys. They also have the same bedroom. Despite this, Lori will often try to control Leni and boss her around. At times, it seems as though Lori takes advantage of Leni's ignorance and naivety, and makes her complete tasks that she should have done herself.

In "Driving Miss Hazy", Lori didn't want Leni to pass her driving test because then her siblings would ask Leni to drive them places instead of her; therefore she would no longer be able to get them to do favors for her. She sabotaged Leni's driving test but later she felt extremely guilty for her thoughtless and selfish actions and tried to fix her mistake by helping her prepare for her next test.

In "A Fair to Remember", Lori tells Leni about her being upset with Bobby because he is paying more attention to Lincoln than her.

In "Brawl in the Family", Lori and Leni had a very heated fight over buying the same dress, which lead to a lot of friction in the house, and eventually with their other siblings.

In "Vantastic Voyage", they go over to a car dealership to take a car and use it to their advantage, and manipulate Steve into letting them do so.

Luna
The two aren't seen interacting often, but they seem to get along. Lori asks Luna to play music when she's putting action into a plan, as seen in "No Guts, No Glori". It was revealed that Luna ruined Lori's first Boyz Will Be Boyz concert.

Luan
She and Lori don't have many interactions. Like all of her siblings, she gets annoyed by Luan's unfunny jokes.

Lynn
Lori and Lynn do not interact often. However, Lynn shares her siblings' dislike of Lori's bossiness and does not like being forced to do favors for her. In return, Lori does not like Lynn's wild behavior.

In "Cheater by the Dozen" its revealed that Lori once beat with a load of bread when Lynn assumed that there was no more bread, and Lori found there was still a loaf left.

Lucy
Lori and Lucy very rarely interact, though like all of her siblings, Lori is freaked out whenever Lucy appears out of nowhere. In "Changing the Baby" Lucy tells Lori that their late great-grandmother was furious that Lori gave away her prized brooch, which frightens Lori, and prompts her to get it back. In "A Fair to Remember", Lucy helps Lori with her relationship with Bobby, and gives Clyde a gift on Lori's behalf as a thank you for helping her.

Lola
Lori and Lola rarely interact, but they share some traits, such as being both bossy and easily angered when they don't get what they want. They also are known to scheme to get their way. Like the rest of her siblings, Lori is somewhat intimidated by Lola's infamous temper, and normally tries not to provoke her.

In "Back in Black", Lori blames Lola for taking her lipstick.

Lisa
Lori and Lisa almost never interact, and when they do, it's usually when Lori needs Lisa's smarts to take care of something like her homework or scolds her for her freakish experiments.

In "Left in the Dark", Lori reminds Lisa that she's not allowed to perform experiments on her or the other siblings.

In "Driving Miss Hazy", Lori has Lisa do her calculus homework in exchange for a ride to the planetarium.

In "Undie Pressure", Lisa needs a sample of Lori's feces for her questionable studies, which Lori understandably refuses to partake in.

In "Study Muffin", Lisa tells Lori to get ready for her pre-calculus lesson.

Lily
She and Lori have a healthy relationship. Lori often acts motherly towards her and sometimes carries her.

In the episode "Changing the Baby", she tries to make Lily share her interests, because she doesn't have anybody that likes the same things as her.

In "Cover Girls", Lily dresses as Lori at one point.

Clyde
Lori doesn't like Clyde because of his unhealthy obsession with her. She feels uncomfortable when he is near her, usually because he often makes robot sounds and bleeds from his nose when near her.

In "Left in the Dark", Lincoln and Clyde decide that it is best to watch the show separately, because Clyde will obsess over Lori if he comes over. Later, Clyde asks Lincoln if his sister will be interested in dating younger men (obviously referring to himself) which Lori overhears and answers directly to him "never going to happen".

In "Butterfly Effect", Lori dates Clyde after breaking up with Bobby. At the end of the episode, they can be seen riding a bike together, apparently having gotten married. This is used as a gag, happening only in what appears to be Lincoln's imagination, and is not mentioned in further episodes.

In "Save the Date" Clyde attempts to woo Lori while discussed as a waiter at the French-Mex restaurant when she and Bobby attempt to patch up their relationship, and tries to sabotage Bobby so he can get close to her. This plan fails as Lori is oblivious to his presence and ultimately she makes up with Bobby, much to Clyde's displeasure.

In "A Fair to Remember", Lori takes Clyde on a date to the fair as a way to make Bobby jealous for having spent so much time with Lincoln. Clyde remains comatose through the entire date which makes things difficult for Lori. Notably, Lori shows genuine concern for Clyde's well being after an accident in which his body falls into the water of the "Tunnel of Love" ride, showing that she does care about him. After fixing things with Bobby and Lincoln, Lori gives Clyde a framed picture of the photos they took together at the fair, which again makes him faint in disbelief. Clyde lamented not remembering anything of the date, but was thrilled to have spent the day with her.

In "11 Louds a Leapin'", Lori willingly kisses Clyde under a mistletoe as an act of good will towards him, once again showing that she does care about him despite often getting annoyed at his attempts to win her over.

Bobby
Bobby is Lori's boyfriend and although it's not often shown they love each other very much. Lori is constantly messaging or calling him with her cell phone and vice versa. If one of the two doesn't call or message for a long time, they will go into despair. This is evidenced in "Undie Pressure", where she can't endure to talk to Bobby and let him enter to her house, losing the bet in the process.

In "Save the Date", she is devastated when Bobby breaks up with her over Lincoln's insulting of his sister Ronnie Anne, and Lori becomes determined to win him back by having Lincoln apologize to them on their date. For all their trials, the two have remained inseparable with Lori being absolutely enamored by Bobby.

In "A Fair to Remember", Lori refuses a date with Bobby when he buys tickets to a monster truck rally, and instead encourages Lincoln to go. When Bobby starts hanging out with Lincoln like a little brother, this irks Lori, and she feels she's become a "third wheel" on their dates. Lori goes out of her way to make both of them jealous by spending an entire day with Clyde at the carnival, to which Bobby remains oblivious. When her scheme fails, Lori breaks down thinking she doesn't have a boyfriend anymore, which moves Lincoln to convince Bobby that they need to spend more time together again. Bobby and Lori immediately make up and Bobby tries to make equal time for both siblings.
