Hi everyone! I wanted to come on here today to give you a list of my top six most over-hated episodes of The Loud House. Keep in mind that all of this is just my opinion, and that I don’t necessarily like all these episodes; I just think they get more hate than deserved. But without further ado, let’s kick things off with...

6. The Green House - First off, I don’t like this episode. It’s very misguided and poorly executed to me. So, why then is it on the list? The reason has almost entirely to do with the moral of being environmentally conscience. Without getting too political, I’ve been involved in environmental activism as of late, so this is very important to me. Having said that, it really does hurt to criticize this episode when I know it’s trying to send a good message. We should encourage kids cartoons to teach important messages to their audience. So, I give it a pass, but barely, since the execution was not good at all. Thankfully, Power Play with the Casagrandes conveyed this message much better, so I’ve made peace with anything bad about this episode, knowing that the show took what went wrong here, and tried their best to make it better.

5. The Episode That Shall Not Be Named - Alright, let’s make this fast, since no one seems to want to shut up about this one. Lincoln lied, he deserved most of what he got, the first half wasn’t that bad, and the episode tried to teach what even the pettiest lies can do to you. There. Next episode.

4. Sleuth or Consequences - I’ll admit, I didn’t like this episode at all when I first saw it. But even though I still don’t really care about it, it’s grown on me. While the sisters teasing Lincoln was cringey and unwatchable, I don’t exactly blame them for thinking he clogged the toilet. The scenes with Lincoln and Lucy investigating the case were great, and despite Lincoln getting punished at the end, to say he didn’t deserve that is just wrong. Yes, he was innocent, but he knew perfectly well what he was doing taking the blame for Lucy’s actions. And the ending shows great development for Lincoln and Lucy’s relationship.

3. Fool Me Twice - Some of you may expect me to hate this one. I mean, Luan’s my least favorite sister, April Fools Rules is my least favorite episode, and most people seem to not like this episode. But there’s one major thing that saves it for me: the ending. Could you make the argument that Luan only felt sorry because her family now had to move? Sure, and I could see your point. But I think that the family packing all her stuff in the truck and sending it to Florida was a very satisfying punishment. And besides, it’s not like what she did to her family was as bad as it was made out to be. Embarrassing? Yes. Enough to make them permanent laughingstocks? Probably not.

OK, before we move on, let me just say that the top two on this list are VERY close. I almost put them together as a tie, but that’s the most obvious type of a copout. But ultimately, I made up my mind, so let’s continue.

2. Out on a Limo - I like this episode, contrary to popular opinion. I know most people dislike it due to Lincoln being selfish and arrogant, but that’s the point of the episode; to show what having certain luxuries can turn people into. And at least he makes it up to his sisters at the end. Plus, this episode has one of the absolute funniest scenes in the whole show: where Lincoln opens the door to see his sisters, then when he goes back outside, only to see them on the porch! That gave me a good laugh!

And, without a doubt, the most over-hated episode of The Loud House is...

1. Ruthless People - Yep. You all probably saw this one coming from me. When this episode came out last year, I gave it a very positive review. And while I knew even at the time that I was grading on a curve because of how much hate the episode was getting, I still would call it pretty good today. Even if you take into account Lana’s actions, the first three-quarters of the episode are solid. And while the ending may have been unsatisfying to some, at least it ended before it could get any worse for Lynn Sr.’s group. Now, the reason that this is #1 and not Out on a Limo is because of the fact that there are people out there who kind of spin the truth about the episode. If I remember correctly, and please correct me if I’m wrong, people said that Rita’s crew was being cruel to Lynn Sr.’s crew. Um, watch the episode again, and come back to me with your evidence; I saw none. Others said that Lana’s actions here were even worse than Lynn’s in, um, you know what. No, just no way. While I do think most of the blame lies in Lincoln for the events of that episode, I can’t deny the nonsense of Lynn’s statements there. Here, it’s not like Lana did what she did on purpose. It’s in her character to love and care for animals. Plus, she’s only six. Does that give her a pass? Maybe not. But I think I’ve made it clear how most people were exaggerating the details of this episode. And that is why Ruthless People is without question the most over-hated Loud House episode of all time.

So, those are my top five most over-hated episodes. If you guys have your own list, leave it in the comments. Until next time!
