User blog:AustinDR/Quick Thoughts: Cereal Offender

Now this is another bland episode. It is by no means bad, but I find it forgettable. In it, Lincoln offers to buy all the groceries for his mother, and in return he can buy a brand of cereal called Zombie Bran with any money that was left over. Of course, his sisters tag along because the plot calls for it.

Besides finding the episode bland and forgettable, I also found it unfunny. I know that I tend to nitpick a lot when it comes to these kinds of episodes, but seriously, what was the point of having the sistyers in this episode. yes, I know it's for comedy, but they didn't give much of a reason as to why they wanted to come along. Sure, they do state their demands towards the end (and Lana's response was really funny; I really think that she must have been a dog in her past life), but even then they end up trashing the grocery store, thus banning themselves from coming back. Granted they did make up for it by pitching in and getting the cereal for Lincoln, but that doesn't make the episode worth it for me.

As for the Manager, I have seen many people state that they hate him for a variety of reasons, one in particular being that he banned the Loud family from shopping in the store again, but honestly, he had the right to do so. They were warned about messing up anything in the store, and this was a legitimate punishment. I can't really comment on the Bratty Kid, mainly because I saw him as a minor annoyance. I will stand to say that there are no true villains in The Loud House, some in general are jerks. Sure, there was the Exterminator, but even then you can claim that he was just doing his job.

Overall, this was a bland, forgettable episode that simply wasn't funny.
