Potty Mouth

"Potty Mouth" is the seventy-fourth episode of The Loud House.

​Plot
When the kids hear Lily apparently curse, they believe that they have been a bad influence on her, and decide to change their behavior for the future.

Synopsis
Rita and Lynn Sr. are heading off to the mall, because Dr. Shuttleworth of the daycare academy, is coming to interview Lily, and Lynn Sr. needs a more appropriate tie. Once they head out, Lynn changes the TV channel, because Dessert Storm is on right now, and Lily suddenly exclaims "dannit". This causes the siblings to gasp in horror, because they think that Lily has just said the "D" word. The siblings fear that Lily learned the word from them, because in past experiences, the kids have gotten into some predicaments that lead them to crying out the "D" word in anger, and Lily was there to witness them saying it. Worried about being a bad influence on their youngest sister, as well as worrying that if she says that word in front of Dr. Shuttleworth, she won't get into the daycare academy, Lincoln comes up with a plan for him and the rest of the sisters to create some better behavior for Lily to imitate so she doesn't say the "D" word in front of Dr. Shuttleworth.

The plan is set into action. Each of the siblings are tasked on reenacting the action that led them into saying the word. Throughout all of these, their faces would turn red, and are on the verge of saying the word, but they would say something else in hopes that Lily would mimic them. After nearly an hour of doing these actions, the siblings believe that Lily has forgotten all about the word. At that moment, Rita and Lynn Sr. arrive back, and begin prepping things up for Dr. Shuttleworth's arrival. One of the things they do is set a tray of snacks on the table. Lily tries to get one, but the siblings tell her not to eat them, causing her to exclaim "dannit" again, making the siblings realize that the plan didn't work.

Dr. Shuttleworth arrives, and is ready to interview Lily. Dr. Shuttleworth gives Lily several things to play with, such as a hardware set, a guitar, and a ball, but the siblings fear that Lily would do something that lead to her yelling out the word, prompting them to confiscate the toys. When the kids become too bothersome with their meddling behavior, the parents tell the kids to leave, but Dr. Shuttleworth tells them that they should leave too, as she just wants to be with Lily. The siblings huddle up, and says that they need a plan to get Lily out of the room. Lincoln suggests on making Lisa take Lily's place, because of the fact that she wears a wig after a nuclear experiment gone wrong, and wearing dentures. The siblings take Lily away under the guise that she spoiled her diaper, and put Lisa, disguised as Lily, in Lily's place. However, Lisa begins displaying some of her smart aleck attitude, like painting complex formulaic equations, doing an impressive xylophone solo, and able to tell Dr. Shuttleworth what type of condition her eyes are in, just by looking at her glasses. This prompts Luna to tell Lisa that she needs to act more like a 1 year old, which she does by intentionally soiling her diaper.

Later, Dr. Shuttleworth is done interviewing Lily, and concludes that due to the things Lisa did, she's allowed into the academy. Just before Dr. Shuttleworth leaves, she takes the snacks on the table with her, causing Lily to exclaim "dannit." Everybody is left horrified at this action, and Lily's ten older siblings come to her defense by pleadingly explaining to Dr. Shuttleworth that Lily didn't mean to say that word, and say that they've been a bad influence on her. Dr. Shuttleworth, however, laughs at this, explaining to them that Lily wasn't saying the "D" word--according to Dr. Shuttleworth, Lily was apparently trying to say "donut," and with some help, Lily pronounces the word correctly after being given a donut by the doctor.

After Dr. Shuttleworth leaves, Lynn Sr. and Rita start cheering about Lily getting into the daycare academy while the ten oldest Loud kids are cheering at the fact that they apparently weren't a bad influence on their youngest sister. However, as they cheer, Charles comes by, and snatches Lily's doughnut, causing Lily to cry out an actual (more offensive) curse word (which is bleeped out) in fury, causing the family to look on, and gasp in sheer horror.

Trivia

 * This is the tenth episode where Lincoln isn't the main focus (instead, Lily is).
 * As of this episode, all five of Lincoln's younger sisters have gotten at least one episode centered around them (Lisa in "Snow Bored", Lucy in "Back in Black", and Lana & Lola in "Patching Things Up").
 * This is the second episode that involves swearing. There was a brief joke about it in "Get the Message".
 * This is the first episode of Season 2 written by Michael Rubiner, whose last writing credit was Season 1's "Study Muffin".
 * This is the third episode where one sibling impersonates another. The first episode was "Cover Girls", and the second was "The Loudest Yard".
 * This episode likely takes place after "Making the Grade", because Lisa could see well without glasses.
 * This is one of the few times that Lincoln doesn't use a very long title for an operation.
 * The song Lisa raps to get Lily to mimic her from saying the "D" word, is the same song Blarney sang in Lola's flashback, where Luna ruined her and Lana's first concert in "For Bros About to Rock".
 * Apparently, due to some experiments-gone-wrong (one of which being a nuclear experiment), Lisa:
 * Is bald and has to wear a wig.
 * Has an extra toe on one of her feet.
 * Has to wear false teeth.
 * It's unknown if Lisa is going to cure all that.
 * The closed captioning for the episode shows that Lily said "dannit.", before her actual saying is revealed.
 * If one looks at the siblings' lips, they weren't saying "dannit". They were saying the actual "D" word. Even on this wiki, it is forbidden to use curse words.
 * The Loud kids play Nose Goes to decide who changes Lisa's diaper, which they did in "Suite and Sour". Lincoln lost again.
 * This is the second time Lily has played the drums with Luna. The first time being in "Changing the Baby".
 * This is the second episode to show Lincoln using his yo-yo. The first being in "The Butterfly Effect".
 * Incidents that caused Lily's siblings to openly yell out the "D" word in front of her:
 * Lincoln - Accidentally broke the TV.
 * Lori & Leni - Ripped a sweater that they were fighting over.
 * Luna - Broke one of her guitar strings.
 * Lynn - Her baseball landed in the neighbor's yard and, presumably, got destroyed by a lawnmower.
 * Lana - Banged her hammer against her thumb.
 * Lola - Crashed her Princess Car.
 * Lisa - Sang a rap song that had the word.
 * Luan and Lucy were the only siblings not shown to have said the "D" word.
 * It is unknown if the siblings (minus Lily) were grounded for teaching Lily a curse word (even if it was unintentional).
 * It is most likely they did get punished, but were punished offscreen.
 * This is the only episode so far to have a bleep sound.
 * This is the first time Lisa has her chest uncovered onscreen.
 * This is the 5th episode where Lisa is seen without her glasses, the other 4 are "Picture Perfect", "Cover Girls", "Raw Deal", and "Making the Grade".
 * This is the fifteenth time Lincoln did not speak to the audience.
 * Episode 12 of Season 2 is the fourth episode where Lincoln does not speak to the viewers in either segment.
 * This episode reunited Mindy Sterling and Liliana Mumy, who previously worked on the Cartoon Network series  as Ms. Endive and Panini.
 * There are clues that indicate that Lily was saying "donut":
 * When Lynn changes the channel to Operation: Dessert Storm, the cover title has donuts on it.
 * Lily attempted to get a donut from the snack plate, but Lori took her away, and said that it was meant for Dr. Shuttleworth.
 * Lily was reaching out for Dr. Shuttleworth's purse, which had a donut.
 * It's possible that at the end of the episode, Lily may have said what's referred to as the "F-bomb" (or possibly the actual "D" word, or possibly the other one).
 * Moral:
 * Watch your language in front of a younger person.
 * Don't jump to concusions yet until you figure it out.

Errors

 * Mindy Sterling, Dr. Shuttleworth's voice actress, isn't listed in the credits.
 * While Lily is saying "Da da da", like Lynn during the plan of making Lily forgetting the "D" word, her eyelashes were missing.
 * While Luna is drumming with Lily, her eyelashes are missing.
 * During the beginning of the interview, Lily has eyebrows, which she normally doesn't have.
 * This is the third time that this error has happened. The other two instances were "Changing the Baby", and "Baby Steps".
 * Luan said "swap Lisa for Lily", when she meant "swap Lily for Lisa".
 * Plot Hole: Dr. Shuttleworth didn't notice significant differences between Lisa and Lily like lack of hair and additional toe.
