The Royal Woods talent show provides the ultimate stage for all of the Loud family to show off their talents, and beat the Torkelson family once and for all.
It is unknown who portrays Mrs. Torkelson, Matthew Torkelson, Charlie and the talent show judges. A younger version of Lori and other previous pageant winners appear in photos, but it is unknown who the photos were of.
This episode is available on the "Season One" DVD.
Trivia[]
This is the last Really Loud House episode to premiere in 2023.
This marks the first time any series in the franchise has aired its final episode of a year in the first half of the year, thus making it the earliest date to end the year on.
This is also the final episode to premiere on a Thursday, as the next season began routinely airing episodes on other days.
This is the final episode to have Melanie Kirk as the producer.
This episode reveals the following:
The Torkelson family, a family that does not live in the Loud family's neighborhood, has held the record in the annual Royal Woods Talent Competition for nineteen years. In the first year they performed, they won seven gold medals.
Nobody has yodeled in the Royal Woods Talent Competition since Matthew Torkelson, who participated nineteen years prior to this episode.
Luan has never flown on an airplane before, unlike her animated counterpart.[1][2]
The Royal Woods Talent Show has been ongoing for 84 years.
Lori once competed in the Royal Woods Talent Show, and she won the Little Miss Talented and Glamorous contest.
Lincoln's mention of not having a specific talent is likely a callback to how he found himself stuck in his sisters' shadows in The Loud House Movie. Also a callback to the film is Clyde's mention of how his primary skill in the trophy department is baking.
Additionally, his mention of not having a trophy is also likely a callback to the Loud House episode "Making the Case".
Lana sensing that Lola is in trouble is likely a callback to how the Loud House episode "Training Day" reveals that they can smell what they are doing, no matter where they go.
The talent show judges are depicted drinking Flippees.
Lisa spends most of the episode with Lexi Janicek's natural blonde hair.
Lori, Lucy, Lana and Lily are the only Louds who did not compete in the talent show. Lori and Lily do not compete due to difficulties regarding their ages (with the latter being the only one to sit in the crowd), while Lucy presumably could not compete in any of the categories and only assisted in separating Luan from Mr. Coconuts. Although Lynn Sr. refers to Lana as his mechanic at the beginning of the episode, she likewise does not compete in the talent show (presumably due to also not having a category to compete in) and only serves to free Lola from the maintenance closet.
The names and goals of previous Little Miss Talented and Glamorous winners (besides Lori):
Emily: To win the Nobel Prize in Literature
Meghan: To direct the greatest film ever
Coreen: To fly to the moon and solve world hunger
Jackie: To win Gold in the Olympics for ice skating
Sofia: To become a veterinarian and save endangered species
Jennifer: To create the first colony on Mars
Lori's goals, according to the bulletin board, were to be a professional golfer and a supportive sister.
Nine other previous pageant winners are depicted on the bulletin board, but their names are not readable. The first one displayed had the goal to sail across the world.
Innuendo:
Lincoln pulls the "pull my finger" trick on Clyde.
Lucy decides to banish Mr. Coconuts to the seventh level of the underworld, which alarms Luan to the point where she reminds her not to take things to the extreme when hiding him. She continues to give extreme torture threats that would prevent Luan from ever reuniting with Mr. Coconuts afterwards, including having him drawn and quartered by the four steeds of the apocalypse and using him as ornamental firewood.
Irony:
Mr. Torkelson told Lynn Sr. that he did not want to disturb him and make him drop his mail, which he ended up causing when he ran off.
Lisa dyes her hair blonde for the talent show. In real life, Lexi Janicek is a natural blonde.
Amber Spitzpatrick told Lola that she does not have to beat her in the talent show to upstage her; all she needs to do is imprison her. However, as she shoved Lola into the maintenance closet, she committed battery on her, which qualifies as beating Lola in a different sense.
In addition, Lana made Amber face her comeuppance by imprisoning her in a vending machine as revenge for locking Lola in the maintenance closet.

Errors[]
Possible: When Lincoln notices that Matthew Torkelson was the last person to enter the "yodeling" category, he mentions that it happened nineteen years ago (the same amount of time since the Torkelson family first won the talent competition), although Matthew's name is listed for both the 65th and 64th talent shows (the latter having happened twenty years prior). However, it is possible that the Torkelson family participated in the 64th annual talent show, but did not win that year.
