Plot[]

Worried that their parents are hurting their health from not being active, the children encourage them to exercise.

Synopsis[]

Lincoln and Clyde are playing Muscle Fish in Lincoln's room. After beating a boss, Clyde says that he has to leave because his fathers are competing in the Royal Woods Ultra Extreme Ninja Competition. He explains that it's the ultimate obstacle course that tests a person's strength and athletics. Clyde says that Howard and Harold are doing this because they want to have a healthy life, so they can live long enough to see him grow up. After Clyde leaves by riding in a car being hauled by Howard and Harold, Lincoln discovers his mother and father sitting lazily on the couch. Lincoln tries to encourage them to go out for a walk, but they tell Lincoln that they're fine, and Charles comes by, wanting to go for a walk. The parents play "Nose Goes", and both of them win, forcing Lincoln to take Charles out.

S2E18B Lynn Sr

Lazy, lazy parents...

Later at night, the siblings hold a house meeting, and Lincoln shows his sisters how inactive their parents are, which is further explained when Lisa shows them their urine samples, and fecal study (the latter of which is quickly rejected). Lincoln says that he has a plan to get them into shape so they can be healthy enough to see their kids grow up, to which all the sisters agree.

The next day, Rita and Lynn Sr. deny the fact that they need exercise. However, they're proven wrong when Lynn Sr. can't put on his socks, Rita is unable to bend over to pick up the van keys, and say they can't walk up the stairs. At a park, Lynn suggests that they try rock climbing, but are unable to get a good grip. Lana suggests mud wrestling, and single-handedly takes down Rita, causing Lynn Sr. to hide in the van. Lincoln suggests that they tone down their methods. Lisa suggests tai chi, Leni suggests t-shirt folding (as a way to work on triceps), Lana and Lola suggest jump rope, Luna suggests guitar playing, and Lori suggests jogging, all of which Rita and Lynn Sr. can easily do (although, during Lori's jog, Lynn Sr. tries to chase an ice cream truck, but is tackled by Lana). Later on that day, the parents thank their kids for introducing them to the joys of exercising and decide to go a run around the block. Because of them being active now, the siblings declare that their job is done.

In the middle of the night, Rita and Lynn Sr. wake all of their children up, because they were so excited with all the exercising, that they want to do more. They also said that because the kids cared about their health, they thought they'd also cared about their health in return. The parents make their kids go through exhausting exercises such as jumping jacks, push-ups, weightlifting, and jogs around the block (just like Lynn Sr. yesterday, they chase after an ice cream truck, but the parents stop them). After the exercising, Rita and Lynn Sr. present the kids with onion-infused water and (actual) grubs, all of which (except Lana) find disgusting.

A week later, the siblings are exhausted from all the exercising, and Lola initially blames Lincoln for making the parents' health crazy, with Luna agreeing. Luckily, Lincoln says he has a plan to make them stop. He has the sisters fake that the parents are making excellent progress such as tampering with the scale, discretely swapping their clothes with bigger sizes, adding big numbers to their weights, and turning the clock back. When the parents fall for these tricks, they surprise the kids with a spaghetti dinner. They say that because they've made such great progress, that they get an exercise-free day tomorrow, much to their joy.

The next morning, the siblings wake up, completely relaxed. However, their moment of relaxation is cut short when Lincoln discovers a note their parents left behind. Lincoln reads the letter and discovers that they're competing in the Royal Woods Ultra Extreme Ninja Competition. Fearing that they'll fail the competition, they quickly rush off to the arena.

S2E18B Siblings hang with their parents

A tender moment about to be cut short.

The siblings arrive at the arena and discover their parents hanging precariously on a beam. After scaling the rock climbing wall, the siblings jump onto the beam their parents are on and ask why they're competing in the competition. The parents say that they believed that they were fit enough to join the competition, but the siblings tell them that they were staged. They only wanted to make them look like they lost weight so that they won't have to exercise with them. Despite this, the parents won't punish the kids, but the tender moment is cut short when the beam they're hanging from breaks due to all of their combined weight.

Later on, the Louds are power walking with Lynn Sr. blowing his whistle and telling them to speed up. When Rita tells her husband that they need to tone down their activeness, they witness an ice cream truck passing by and begin to chase it down.

Trivia[]

  • Luan, Lucy, and Lily were the only Louds who didn't help to get their parents to exercise, while Lola and Lily were the only ones not to be part of the plan of tricking them to think they made great progress.
S2E18B Judges giving zeroes

Karla Sakas Shropshire is not only a writer but also a judge, as well.

  • One of the judges was writer Karla Sakas Shropshire.
  • This is the last episode to use the 2009 Nickelodeon Productions logo.
  • Lana was the only Loud kid to enjoy the taste of the onion-infused water and grubs, on account of the nasty things she has been shown doing.
  • Upon closer inspection, the ice cream truck's license plate reads "15KREM".
  • An article in the newspaper Lynn, Sr. is reading reads "Savino trial takes a turn". Ironically, Chris Savino was later fired from Nickelodeon for misconduct a month later.
  • Although Lynn is very athletic, it is shown that she has her limits to exercising as she's shown exhausted along with the rest of her siblings.
S2E18B Lori and Leni look away disgusted

Looks like Lori and Leni got a good look of that junk.

  • Innuendo: When Lori and Leni witnessed their father's skinny jeans slip off, they quickly shielded their eyes in disgust, implying that they caught a glimpse of his genitals.
  • Irony: The kids tried to encourage their parents into exercising, but they became fed up with exercising themselves.
  • Cartoon biology: The parents became even fitter than the kids over only a few days.

International edits[]

  • In the Hebrew dub, the Loud siblings' suggestions for "grub time" are Chinese, pizza and "food" rather than "pizza and fries" and "burgers with cheese."

References[]

  • Health Kicked - The title may be a reference to the phrase "health kick", which means to work out and eat healthier.
  • American Ninja Warrior - The Royal Woods Ultra Extreme Ninja Competition seems to be a nod to this sports show, which involves muscular people to traverse an obstacle course that tests their strength.
  • HuffPost - The newspapers that Rita and Lynn, Sr. read are possibly parodies of this news aggregator.

Errors[]

  • Plot hole: Rita and Lynn Sr. are shown to be very lazy in this episode, despite having been shown to enjoy exercising in "The Loudest Yard" and "Suite and Sour" unless this takes place before those episodes.
  • When the siblings are hanging on the bar at the arena, Lisa and Lola are not hanging on, therefore they are floating in place.
  • Clyde says that his parents were training to sign up for "The Royal Woods Ultra Extreme Ninja Competition", but when it's revealed that Rita and Lynn Sr. signed up for the same competition, the letter, by which they reveal their registration, refers to it as "The Royal Woods Ultimate Extreme Ninja Competition".
    • Additionally, the sign outside the audition reads "Ultimate Extreme Samurai Competition" and not Ninja.
  • Even though the Royal Woods Arena was supposed to be hosting The Royal Woods Ultra Extreme Ninja Competition, the marquee outside of the building reads "Ultimate Extreme Samurai Competition" instead.
  • When Howard and Harold passed by the Loud House, the horn of the car they're hauling can be heard. However, no one is in the car, so it's unknown who honked the horn.
  • Given Lola's position when she popped out of her room after being woken up by her exercise crazed parents, she appears to be sleeping on Lana's side of the room.
  • When Rita went to weigh herself on the scale, not knowing Lisa tampered with it, she had her shoes on. But normally when one weighs themselves they take off their shoes because the extra weight of the shoes increased the weight of the scale.
  • When the siblings were walking in the kitchen Lola is shown without the sash for her night attire, but after the siblings fantasize on what would happen to their parents in "The Royal Woods Ultimate Extreme Ninja Competition", Lola's sash appears.
