One of the Boys

"" is the forty-fifth episode of The Loud House.

Plot
When Lincoln wishes that he had ten brothers instead of ten sisters, Lisa gives him a glimpse into that reality.

Synopsis
Lincoln and Clyde are looking through the fridge, finding something good to eat. After finding a jar of peanut butter, Lincoln sticks his finger in the peanut butter and sticks it in his mouth. He then attempts to stick the same finger back into the jar when Lola sees this and yells at Lincoln to have some dignity. Luan arrives with Mr. Coconuts to deliver a joke when suddenly, Lincoln burps in front of Luan, causing her to tell a joke that jabs at Lincoln. When Lincoln complains that life in the Loud House is always like this, following by a flashback of the times he was not satisfied by his sister's actions. Then wishes that he had brothers instead of sisters.

That night, Lisa, who took into consideration what Lincoln said, has made a watch that can make a portal that will transport Lincoln into the world of his dreams. Lincoln takes the watch, while Lisa reminds him that he needs to return back to his own world within 24 hours. With that in mind, Lincoln jumps in.

Lincoln lands in the hallway, but notices no subtle changes. Suddenly, the sisters (who are now boys) exit their rooms. Lincoln is ecstatic at this and to his surprise, they all want to go to Dairyland (with the brothers saying that it was Lincoln's idea). After their trip, they go over to Gus' Games and Grub to enjoy pizza. They arrive back home where they greet their parents (who are wearing inverted clothes) and quickly dogpile on Dad. Lincoln discovers that what used to be his bedroom is a closet and his bed is in Lynn and Lars' (Lynn and Lucy's) bedroom. Lincoln is having such a fun time here that he decides to stay in this world forever and tosses the watch away.

The next day, Lincoln wakes up and receives two horrible punches: one from Lynn (for waking him up) and one from Lars (for scratching his coffin). Lincoln attempts to use the bathroom, but is revealed to be a pigsty to his horror. Luke (Luna) agrees that the bathroom is messy and says that he and Lincoln should clean it. But Luke's method of "cleaning" involves him using Lincoln's head to scrub the toilet. Lincoln walks out and is mocked by his brothers because of this. He then trips and hurts his thumb. Loni (Leni) then tells him to just shake it off rather than console him like his sisters. Leon (Lily) then crawls towards him. Lincoln then asks him if he wants to kiss his "boo-boo" to make it better, to which Leon responds by biting his thumb, causing the brothers to laugh even harder.

Later, while getting ready for a date with Ronnie Anne, Lincoln sees Leif and Lexx (Lana and Lola) wearing his shirts. They then inform him that because they didn't have any clean shirts at the moment, they decided to wear his shirts instead, much to his annoyance. The brothers then proceed to make fun of him for his relationship with Ronnie Anne. Lane (Luan) then pulls Lincoln's pants up to his chest, then messes with his hair, annoying him even more. The brothers then dogpile onto him before giving him a "Loud House-style Dutch oven."

Lincoln, no longer able to take this world anymore, decides to head back to his own world. With five minutes left on the clock, Lincoln looks through the garbage can where he threw the watch away, but to his horror the watch is gone. It turns out that Lexx found it and decides to play "Keep Away" with the watch, to which the other brothers join in. Lincoln tricks his brothers into dogpiling on Dad again and uses that distraction to take the watch back. With a few seconds left on the clock, Lincoln opens a portal and jumps in (not before Lynn pulls down his pants one last time).

Lincoln falls through the portal into a world that he initially believes is his original world (even finding that Bun-Bun's okay). Suddenly, the brothers barge into his room and start asking him if he's okay. Lincoln's confused as to his brothers are being so nice to him all of a sudden, but he soon realizes that, much to his horror, he's now in a world where, while more or less the same as his original world, the genders of himself and his sisters are the exact opposite--meaning that Lincoln, now a girl named "Linka," is the middle child and only daughter of the eleven Loud children.

Lincoln suddenly wakes up, realizing that the entire ordeal was just a dream. The sisters, who heard their brother screaming, barge into his room and ask if he's okay. Lincoln assures them that he's fine and that he's glad to have sisters instead of brothers. When Leni finds a watch on the floor and asks Lincoln if he knows who it belongs to, Lincoln (mistaking it for the portal watch from his dream) quickly destroys it. But as it turns out, the watch actually belonged to Lori who, naturally, is mad that her brother destroyed her watch. When she claims that Lincoln's going to pay for it, he at first thinks this means that Lori's going to give him a swirlie but she explains that she means he'll literally pay for it (as in, buy her a new watch with his own money). After his sisters leave his room, Lincoln tells the viewers that he loves them for who they are, and that he's glad that his sisters are nothing like his brothers. However, Lynn comes back, and pantses Lincoln, causing him to annoyingly remark "except for Lynn", who pretty much acts the same as the boy Lynn.

Trivia

 * Lori has different feet models in Clyde's fantasy (more cartoonish) than in the epilogue of the segment (more realistic).
 * Lola makes a quick cameo at the beginning outside of the house, having a tea party with some of her stuffed animals.
 * Clyde breaks the fourth wall by popping his fantasy balloon of Lori in a bikini on the beach.
 * When Lincoln asked Clyde if he was imagining Lori on the beach again, there was a jar in the fridge that was labelled "DO NOT OPEN -LISA".
 * This is the first segment where Lincoln is voiced by Collin Dean, due to Grant Palmer hitting puberty after the previous episode.
 * Lincoln's voice remains the same in other international dubs.
 * The counterparts of the 4 oldest Loud siblings are voiced by the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles actors: Seth Green (Leonardo) as Lori's counterpart Loki, Sean Astin (Raphael) as Leni's counterpart Loni, Greg Cipes (Michelangelo) as Luna's counterpart Luke, and Rob Paulsen (Donatello) as Luan's counterpart Lane. However, since they're not related, its not the same thing in other international dubs.
 * As for the other 7 Loud siblings, their counterparts each share the same voice actor/actress as them.
 * Although Luna and Lucy don't speak in this segment, their male counterparts, Luke (Luna) and Lars (Lucy), do.
 * While all 10 of Lincoln's brothers have different interests like his sisters do, in terms of personality, they all seem to be the same unsophisticated ruffian. In other words, his brothers are like having 10 Lynns.
 * Unlike his sisters, who while they can be harsh and kind of mean towards Lincoln at times, still care deeply about him, his brothers are all very harsh and don't seem to show any sort of love towards Lincoln. For example, Lexx at one point calls Lincoln a loser, which is an insult that none of his sisters have ever called him.
 * However, the world with Linka seems to be more or less exactly the same as Lincoln's original world (the only real difference being that the genders of the Loud children and presumably some other characters being switched around), as the brothers are shown to have the same caring and protective natures towards their only sister, as the sisters do towards their only brother.
 * Most of the brothers are disrespectful towards their father, as they dog pile onto him whenever they have a chance.
 * Leon was the only Loud brother who didn't participate in dogpiling Lynn Sr. and Lincoln. He also didn't take part in the "Loud House-styled" Dutch oven directed towards Lincoln either.
 * Lynn is the only Loud sister whose male counterpart shares the same name as her, mostly because Lynn can also be a boy's name (although it is more common as a girl's name).
 * In fact, Lynn's male counterpart is pretty much the same as his female counterpart, only harsher.
 * Ronnie Anne is mentioned in this segment, but doesn't actually appear physically.
 * This is the second segment where everything was a fantasy, after "Butterfly Effect".
 * From this segment onwards, Leni's sleeping mask is now blue, and features a pair of closed eyes.
 * This is the third time Lincoln was naked onscreen, after "Making the Case" and "In Tents Debate".
 * With this segment, Grey Griffin is the voice actress who interpreted the most characters in one segment.
 * When everyone is waiting in line for the bathroom, Lisa and Lynn are in their pajamas, while everyone else is in their bathrobes.
 * Loki, Loni, Lynn, Lars, Lexx, Levi, and Leon are the only brothers referred to by name.
 * Leon is the only brother whose name is mentioned more than once. Both Levi and Lincoln call him by his name.
 * This is the second time that Lincoln is teased because of him dating someone, the first time was in "Save the Date".

Errors

 * During Lincoln's flashback where his sisters rejected Lincoln's ideas of where to go, they all rejected the idea of Dairyland, even the ones who were voting for it in "In Tents Debate". Also, when the Loud brothers announce they're going to Dairyland, Lincoln states that his sisters would never want to go to Dairyland, despite at least Lana having been shown to love it in both the aftermentioned episode and "Toads and Tiaras".
 * Lincoln only had 24 hours to leave the dimension, which began and ends at 10:30. When he only had five minutes left, instead of being 10:25, it was 10:30 on the clocks on the second floor.
 * Also, when they were playing "Keep Away" the clock marks there's only 1:20 minutes left, and the living room clock marks 10:30.
 * Also before, when Lincoln ask to Leif and Lexx (Lana and Lola) why they were using his shirts the clock in the living room was in 10:30, just in the limit time.
 * When Leif said "Bye Mom!" to Rita, he spoke in Lana's voice.
 * When Lincoln came out of the portal after leaving the brother dimension, his silhouette shows that he has his normal hairstyle instead of his Linka hairstyle.
 * When Lynn is waiting for the bathroom, she is in her pajamas, but when she comes out she's wearing her bathrobe. However, it's possible that her bathrobe was already in the bathroom.
 * Normally, Lynn sleeps in knee-high socks, but in this segment, her socks are ankle socks.
 * In the Latin American dub of the segment, three lines get silent: "Clear!" (Lisa), "Will you be joining us, Lincoln?" (Levi) and "Say uncle!" (Luke).

Running Gags

 * Lynn punching Lincoln and pulling his pants down.
 * The Loud brothers insulting and making fun of Lincoln.
 * The sisters annoying Lincoln.
 * The Loud brothers dogpiling on Lynn Sr. and shouting "Say uncle!".
 * Lincoln mentioning his sisters, leading to another character being confused at this and him replying that he was referring to nuns.
