Episode Information

"No Guts, No Glori" is the sixth episode of the first season of The Loud House.

Plot[]

Lincoln and nine of his sisters work as a team to thwart the tyranny they face with Lori as their babysitter.

Synopsis[]

It's Friday night, and Lynn Sr. and Rita are going out on a date. Unfortunately for the Loud kids, Lori is in charge, and apparently takes glee in bossing them around. She won't let Luna rock out, Lana make mud pies, Leni talk on the phone, or Lincoln play his new video game. Dressing up as a military drill sergeant, she instructs them that they will have a very boring evening, to which they obey.

S1E03B Cadet siblings

When Lori is in charge, no one is safe.

Lincoln invites his other sisters to sneak into his room, and suggests a plan to overthrow "The Queen of No". After distracting Lori, the others ambush her, and tie her to a chair. The other sisters vote for Lincoln to be their new babysitter, and despite her warning that Lincoln won't make a good leader, and that the house will fall apart without her, they confine Lori to her room with Lola on guard duty.

However, Lori's warning proves to be true, as in under five minutes, the kids mess up the house with their roughhousing and destructive antics. Lincoln attempts to get them to stop, but they refuse to do so, derisively calling him Lori. Realizing that Lori is the only one who can stop the chaos, he tries to get Lola to release her, but she instead knocks him out with a golf club, and ties him to a chair.

S1E03B Linc and Lori busted

Lincoln and Lori realized they're in huge trouble.

Upon using Geo to free himself, Lincoln makes his way into Lori's room through her window and begs her to help him. She refuses at first, but accepts the help. The two make their way downstairs, and Lori uses glitter to distract Lola and the warning that the parents will be home in ten minutes to get the other sisters to cease their madness and clean up the house, and they have to do it fast since she gets a call saying that they'll be home really soon.

Under Lori's authority and through Luna's cleaning montage, the kids manage to clean the giant mess just as their parents get home. Lori joins Lincoln in playing his new game, having learned that you can't say "no" all the time, and all is well until Lynn Sr. notices his broken golf club which Lola used to knock out Lincoln earlier, as Lori and Lincoln stare at each other in shock, knowing that they're in huge trouble.

Cast[]

Luan has no lines in this episode, but her voice actor is credited because she can be heard obeying Lori's command with her other siblings, cheering, and laughing when she chases Leni.

Physical distribution[]

This episode is available on the "Welcome to the Loud House", "The Complete First Season", "L'amour Vache", and "Intégrale de la Saison 1" DVDs.

Trivia[]

  • The "clean-up music" Luna plays towards the end of the episode has a part that sounds like "Pop Punk", a pseudo-fourth wall break.
  • The episode takes place on Friday the 13th, a day often considered to bring superstitious misfortune.
    • Coincidentally, this episode premiered in the US on a week that had a Friday the 13th.
  • This episode takes place in February because the calendar is shown to have only twenty-eight days.
    • In fact, this episode takes place on Friday, February 13, the day before Valentine's Day.
  • It is revealed that Lori is the only sibling who can keep the house from ending up in a pile of rubble or ashes.
  • It is revealed that Lori is very good at playing video games.
  • It is revealed that the Loud family also own four pet fish, and so far, this is their only appearance.
  • During the scene where the sisters sneak past Lori's room into Lincoln's room, Lana is wearing the shades she had in "Get the Message".
  • The situations made by Lincoln's sisters:
    • Leni and Luan - The former being chased while on the house phone by the latter's fake spider.
    • Luna - Playing her music too loud.
    • Lynn - Pouring dirt, and using a water hose for her dirt bike.
    • Lucy and Lana - Having a food fight.
    • Lisa - Doing her weird science experiments.
    • Lily - Running around without her diaper on.
      • Lori and Lola were the only sisters who did not cause any disasters. This is due to the former originally being put in charge before Lincoln overthrows her, and takes her job, and the latter standing guard in front of Lori and Leni's room.
  • Lexi Janicek, who portrays Lisa in live-action, considers Lisa's line, "It's science. You wouldn't understand." to be one of her favorite lines from the series.[1]
  • Rita is revealed to own a particular, expensive type of perfume, which she only wears while on date nights with Lynn Sr.

References[]

  • No Guts, No Glori - The title references the phrase "no guts, no glory," which means that success doesn't come without the courage to take risks.
    • This pun is kept in several foreign dubs of the series too:
      • Arabic: لا شجاعة، لا غلوري [la shajaeata, la ghLori]
      • Dutch: Geen lef, geen gLori
      • Latin American Spanish: Sin Agallas, no hay Glori
  • Street Fighter - The title screen for Lincoln's game is in a similar font to this Capcom fighting series as seen in arcades and gaming consoles.
  • NES and Nintendo 64 - The game console Lincoln has seems to have some similarities with the Nintendo Entertainment System, in terms of its design, but the game cartridges for it look more like those for Nintendo 64 games.
  • AC/DC - Before Luna starts to jam on her guitar with her numerous amps setup. She says "For those about to rock" which is a reference to the 1981 song For Those About to Rock (We Salute You). This is the first time this song was referenced in the show, preceding "For Bros About to Rock" and "Cereal Offender".
  • The Pink Panther - The scene in which Luan slides from the wall to Lincoln's bedroom is the same as that of the Pink Panther episode "The Pink Phink".

Errors[]

  • Lori says no phone calls allowed, but she doesn't realize that she's breaking her own rule by talking to Bobby.
    • However that is because she is the boss and is also in charge.
S1E03B Lori laughing mainically

Lori's shoes and eyelids are colored wrong.

  • When Lori's siblings are carrying her while she's tied up in the chair, her slip-ons are black instead of blue.
    • Also, when Lori starts to laugh at Lincoln being left in charge, her eyelid is her skin tone, not the color of her eye shadow.
    • This error also occurs in "A Tattler's Tale" and "Get the Message".
  • When Lori pulls out the schedule of the evening, the title up top says "Lori's Rules" instead of "Lori's Schedule".
S1E03B Lori's rules

Lori's Schedule is labeled wrong.

  • Luan has camouflage on her, but when Leni comes in Lincoln's room for the meeting, the camouflage disappears.
  • Lincoln got hit by a slice of pizza and waffles in Lucy and Lana's food fight, but in the next scene, Lincoln doesn't have food on him.
  • Right after Lincoln takes away the whistle from Lori and broke the string, the string of the whistle is somehow fixed.
  • It is unknown how Leni knew about the secret meeting in Lincoln's room as Lori would have prevented her from opening the door to receive the note. This is even more apparent when it seems that Leni leaving to Lincoln's room is the first time that night Leni went towards the door.
  • When Lisa's creature grabs Lily with its tentacle in the scene where the sisters clean up, Lily is shown to be giggling, but no giggling sound is heard.
S1E03B Luan with a wall disguise

Luan is wearing camouflage.

  • In the Latin American Spanish dub, Lana says, "Ma'am, yes ma'am!" like her siblings as opposed to "Sir, yes sir!" So, it wouldn't make sense for Lori to glare at Lana for addressing her properly like how she did in the English version when she called her "sir".
  • It's unknown how Lori knew about Lynn Sr.'s golf club getting damaged, as she was in her room, and didn't see Lola hit Lincoln with it.
  • In the Hungarian dub, when Lana was about to fishing only to be stopped by Lincoln, he calls her "Lola".
