User blog:EpsilonMk46/My Top 10 Favorite Loud House Episodes



Welcome, brethren, to my list of my favorite episodes of the Loud House! Y'know, I've been with you all for about half a year and let me just say that it has been a great thrillride of entertainment, controversy, and mudslinging that will always be engraved in my memory forever. To honor all of us here, I feel it only necessary to honor my favorite episodes of the show that started it all. With that said, let's get started!

#10: Two Boys and a Baby

This episode really caught me by surprise when I took a look at the wiki page for it. I was a little taken aback when I saw how many people disliked this episode since when I took a viewing at it, I thought it was pretty dang fun and enjoyable. I mean, we have Lynn Sr. acting hilariously peeved when he was bamboozled into going to Aunt Ruth's, Lincoln and Clyde becoming a mess at almost every turn and subsequently having to hose each other off, and a couple of pretty ingenious puns like when the s*** hits the fan when changing Lily's daiper. What more can you ask for? Well, I can say that the ending was a bit half-asked in its delivery, but I don't think it really it takes away from the sheer enjoyment that I get from this episode.

#9: Lynner Takes All

I don't know about those who felt underwhelmed with Lynn's character in this episode, but I personally believe this episode gave us a really solid piece of character development for her. I think that saving your gloating for when no one is around to hear or see you is a really good use of getting rid of excess energy and I love how Lynn wasn't completely transformed out of her egocentric, athletic role while still managing to make her have more humility whenever she wins. That being said, that is most certainly not the only thing I like about Lynner Takes All. I found the second half where Lynn goes insane with competitiveness to be downright side splitting, the way she is able to win every single game really impressed me with how much skills she truly possesses, and the delivery of the rest of the siblings also gives way to some funny jokes and characterization that can only be appreciated in animation.

#8: Undie Pressure

Aahhhh, it's a perfect day for a 10v1 battle, isn't it? That's right we are here to see Lincoln take on ALL of his sisters in a survival of the fittest standoff to see who can survive the longest while engaging in their one dimensional character trai- I-I-I-I mean annoying habits...! Y-Yeah! And for most part, this was really entertaining to sit through because of all the pressure that kicks in with the sisters as they're being tempted to break the rules through numerous circumstances that arise all throughout the contest. And the twist at the end where Lily is revealed to be the winner was one of the best plot twists I've seen since MW2. But even that's not the end when Lola, even after Lincoln lost the right to read his comics in his undies, still gets him his prize because they all still need to respect each other's habits. That really drove it home for me because it was just so precious to see Lola break free from her usual snarky attitude to allow herself to do something selfless for her brother. All of this rounded up makes it nab this spot in my top list.

#7: Brawl in the Family

'BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! HIIIIIIISSSSS!!!!!'

Okay! Okay! I know you're upset and/or confused by my choice here, but before you decide to hunt me down and kill me, just here me out. *sigh* Look, I made it no secret that I actually really like this controversial episode and that I believe it to be humungously underrated by almost the entire fanbase. However, my affinity for Brawl doesn't actually come from entertainment value, but more along the lines of analytical dissection. When I really stopped to really pick apart this episode, I really found a lot of gold nuggets that could be found within and it really opened my eyes to the really good morals this episode was showing me. Personally, I thought it was excellent to have Lincoln introduced to a scenario where he wasn't actually able to solve the problem between his sisters because it would've given him the perfect oppurtunity to understand that one cannot be a part of absolutely everything. I agree that he had absolutely no place to intervene because he barely knew anything about dresses and he could hardly act as an all knowing peacekeeper in a field where he was basically clueless on. Apart from that, I even found some parts of it funny, like how everyone made a seperate dinner for both Lori and Leni, the way the Sister Fight Protocol is portrayed like a traffic safety group that exaggerates everything to the tenth degree, and I even kinda thought the ending was a bit funny............. mhm I did.

........Welp, seeyouinthenextentry! (EpsilonMk46 ran away)

#6: Heavy Meddle

To say this episode is a guilty pleasure for me would be a humungous understatement. Whenever I look at this, I see a jumbled mess of confused morals that blatantly contradict each other in ways that I can't even comprehend. I honestly can't really wrap my head around how the writers thought it okay to leave behind so many loose ends in the final product. That is why, objectively, this is one of the worst episodes of the Loud House I've ever seen. ..............BUT IT'S FREAKING FUNNY!!! I'm not even kidding, I found the slapstick humor in this episode to be completely hilarious in it's making. The way that Lincoln was always frantic to hide the gum in his hair from his sisters, the inane ways that the sisters would inflict pain on the supposed bully, and especially how the sisters squealed so vehemently when they found out that the bully is a girl; all of that combined makes this one of the funniest episodes I have witnessed. Because of that, I can never bring myself to hate this episode; I can't even say it's just okay. All it needs is a better storyline and a more concrete moral and it'd be completely golden.

#5: Snow Bored

This episode took everything great about my 3rd favorite sister, Lisa, and multiplied them a hundred fold to make a comedic jamboree that truly pleased me from beginning to end. Lisa's cunning and intellect, her cleverness in psychological warfare, and especially her nack for dropping her stoic persona to become a rampaging psychopath with an obsession for wanton decimation; all of these are my favorite aspects of Lisa, and to see them all come together in this episode so brilliantly just brings joy to my heart. On top of that, the rest of the siblings each have their time in the limelight with most of them giving a rather humurous gesture to try to convince Lisa that snow days are a lot of fun and then becoming frightened of her when she goes bads*** insane. Overall, this is the perfect amount of excitement, humor, and family building character that I look for in every episode, and that's what makes it nab this spot in my list.

#4: Potty Mouth

This one just proves to me that no matter what the cliche, no matter what tired plotline the Loud House is presented with, they will always find a way to make it stand out so that it stands above the rest. With that, it would seem that Savino has decided to tackle the "character says a bad word" plot and allow me to say for the record that Potty Mouth is one of best, if not the best, episodes that has ever used this common storyline in children's programming that I've ever witnessed. How do they achieve this, you may ask? Why it's very simple: it grows a pair and really nails the "bad word" aspect of the plotline to a perfect T. I've seen certain shows that simply use dumbed down words that are supposedly swears in their universes, most notably "furball" from Berenstain Bears, and it annoys me to no end how they are just beating around the bush in terms of using swear words with the excuse of "it's supposed to be for kids". But with Potty Mouth, they actually make us think that Lily actually said the real and bona fied d-word; and I gotta tell you, it really shook me to my core that they actually went that direction where they truly acknoledged a legitimate swear word in their writing, as well as making a point where the bad behavior of others can influence the minds of the young and impressionable. On top of that, the ending bleep, using an actual censor sound effect, was the icing on the cake to an episode that has convinced me that the world of children's programming is becoming a much less sensitive place....... Oh and uh... the characters and jokes were pretty cool too I guess... MOVING ON!!!

#3: Out of the Picture

Now this was an episode that really took me by surprise. When this first came on the air, I wasn't really expecting very much from it at all. But when I finally got to watching it, dear GOD did it take my expectations and completely throw them out the window in the best way possible. Now, I'm actually quite a big fan of Clincoln McCloud and I'd have been fine with the episode being centered around solely those two. But when I saw that Lola was also going to be having a center role, I may have been skeptical of how she'd play out, but I truly adored how she was presented within the episode's plotline. It was absolutely refreshing to see a brighter side of Lola who is greatful of the help that others give her and it was a huge step beyond the usual bratty side that we see so very often. Although, there were times where she was a bit... too tranquill..... it was very suspicious to be sure. Other than that little nitpick, the episode most certainly deserves to be my 3rd favorite in the series.

#2: Study Muffin

Alright, I think I may have confused you once again but I want to get this off my chest. I absolutely adore this episode; to me, this is the epitome of everything that the Loud House stands for: a male child who has to survive the antics of his 10 rowdy sisters in order to come out on top. And from my experience from watching this episode, I can safely conclude that it kicks A**! .......It is ungodly stupid but it kicks A**! I mean, sure it can be completely inane and stupid but... it's completely inane and stupid, and that's what makes it fun. It's not the bad kind of stupid that makes me bang my head against the wall, it's the good kind of stupid that has me reeling back in my seat busting a gut with laughter.I mean, who in the world even said that stupidity in itself is a negative concept? Contrary to popular belief, I've found that stupidity is not always your enemy; in fact, it can sometimes can be your best friend. And the moment I learned to embrace the absurdness of Study Muffin rather than reject it, it allowed m e to gaze into the holy  realm of comedic possibilities this episode had to offer. Now, I am by no means saying that you are all wrong to dislike this episode, but I do think that saying the episode is bad for the sole reason of saying that it's stupid is a little bit rash; but, of course, that's just me. In conclusion, this episode is one of my all time favorite episodes of season 1 and it is one that I will come back to for a long time. God bless you, Study Muffin, you stupid, stupid episode!

#1: Frog Wild

Here we are boys. This episode right here is my ultimate obsession with the Loud House, period. We are talking about an episode where, on the day it aired, I recorded onto my cable box, pulled up my listings, and actually watched it on repeat for seven times before I even got remotely bored of it. It is THAT mother loving incredible to me. But enough about my unhealthy obses- I-I mean sheer enjoyment of this episode, let's get into why exactly I worship this episode so much. Firstly, it features my favorite sister, Lana; and this segment really lets her rambunctious, pro-life nature truly shine. Before this episode, the only episode we had that focused on her was Toads and Tiaras (Which I do like but I still think is kinda overrated) and it left me wanting more as so many episodes passed where she was never in the limelight. But now that we have Frog Wild, my love for Lana was completely refilled with a thrillride of action and heartfelt emotion with how Lana first met Hops. In addition, I think that the way Lincoln was willing to go to the extreme to help make Lana happy was absolutely precious and it's what I adore about his character. Principal Huggins, while aimed to be the generic villain, was still pretty likeable as well and I find myself laughing with most of the lines he says. But the true gold that comes from this episode is in it's comedy and slapstick. From the way this episode handles the whole rescue of the frogs to the fast paced methods Lincoln and Lana use to hide the frogs from Principal Huggins; all of it is executed beautifully with a blend of fast paced humor that meshes with the writing to a T. But, if I have to come up with at least one criticism for this amazing episode, I'd say that the moral of "don't dissect frogs" is a bit........ mmmmmmmm.... weeeeellll...... I know a few scientists who'd disagree with that, but I digress. Other than that miniscule drawback, I find myself beaming with joy from this outstanding episode, and this EASILY takes the spot as my all time favorite episode of the Loud House!
