Synopsis[]

S7E15B We have time for one more drill, and then we got to go

Lincoln and Clyde both want to be Flip's millionth customer.

At the Loud House, Lynn Sr. discovers that all of the food is missing from the kitchen. Walking into the dining room, he discovers it all on the table, when suddenly, Lincoln and Clyde arrive, carrying bags and quickly stuffing them as fast as possible. Lincoln explains to the viewers that several years ago, Flip started a contest in order to drum up more business. The contest promises that, whoever gets the title of being his one-millionth customer will get 30 seconds to take as much merch as they can carry. In order to keep track of his customer count, Flip installed a counter, but while he forgot about it over time, Lincoln and Clyde didn't, as they had a security camera installed to keep track of the count. After being informed that the counter has reached 999,920 customers, Lincoln and Clyde promptly head over to Flip's.

Arriving to Flip's (where the counter now reads 999,933), Lincoln and Clyde eagerly wait for 67 more customers to arrive, but after several hours, it proves to be a slow day of shopping. Needing to drum up business, Lincoln and Clyde decide to attract customers to go shop at Flip's. After a successful run with a group of customers and bringing the elders of Sunset Canyon to shop there, Lincoln and Clyde manage to make the counter reach 999,999. The two are about to enter so they can claim the title of being the one-millionth customer, when suddenly, they discover one elder about to make a purchase. Lincoln and Clyde manage to get her to leave by dropping her onto the tram with the rest of the elders after she struggles to find her wallet.

S7E15B You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to fool ole Flip

Flip reveals that he outsmarted the boys.

Ready to claim their prize as the one-millionth customers, Lincoln and Clyde prepare to enter the store, when suddenly, they encounter Chandler, who asks them what they're up to. Lincoln and Clyde attempt to lie to Chandler, but he eventually discovers a flyer promoting Flip's one-millionth customer contest. Now knowing the truth, Chandler decides to take the prize for himself. What follows afterwards is Lincoln and Clyde attempting to stop Chandler from entering the store and vice versa and getting into a catfight inside the store (which Flip doesn't notice due to wearing headphones). After a prolonged fight, Chandler manages to reach the counter and decides to purchase a keychain. Lincoln and Clyde attempt to stop him, but they are too late, as Flip finalizes the purchase and as a result, Chandler is declared the one-millionth customer. As Lincoln and Clyde dejectedly leave, Chandler tells Flip that he's ready to spend the next 30 seconds to get as much merch as he wants. Suddenly, to Chandler, Lincoln and Clyde's surprise, they discover that everything in the store is gone. It turns out that Flip knew all along about their plan, as he reveals that Nacho overheard their argument from earlier, and upon being informed of what they were doing, decided to hide the merch. However, Flip reveals that there's one piece of merch that's available, which is revealed to be a dusty bag of expired chips. As Chandler angrily storms off after getting cheated, Lincoln and Clyde, after admitting that it was nice to see Chandler get some form of comeuppance, are prepared to leave, when suddenly, Flip stops them, saying that because of their actions, he ended up having the best day of business in a long while. As a result, Flip decides to reward them.

Sometime later, after having restocked the shelves with his merch, Flip offers them 10 seconds to grab as much as they can. Upon starting the timer, Lincoln and Clyde, with their bags, furiously race around the store getting everything they can. Much to Flip's complete and utter shock, the two boys succeed in wiping his entire store clean, causing him to faint. As Lincoln and Clyde exit the store with their bags of merch, they proclaim that they can't wait to be the two-millionth customers so they can do it all over again. However, Flip, not wanting to go through with this situation again, orders Nacho to destroy the customer counter, to which he does, ensuring that there will never be another millionth customer prize.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first episode where Sawyer Cole voices Lincoln.
  • This episode premiered on Phil LaMarr's 57th birthday.
  • This episode reveals the following:
    • Flip doesn't know how to spell his own name, as he misspells it as "Flup" when promoting his millionth customer contest, and when informed that he spelled his name wrong on his banner, Flip misspells it again as "Flep".
    • Flip does not like his freshly-cleaned glass to get tainted.
    • Howard and Harold once sent Clyde to Baton Camp, where Clyde discovered he has a hidden talent of sign spinning.
    • Bernie wears dentures.
    • After Baton Camp, Howard and Harold sent Clyde to Boomerang Camp, where Clyde discovered he has a knack for throwing boomerangs as well.
    • Flip reads "Cheapskate Monthly" magazines.
    • Flip has a bag of self-entitled snacks called Flipeos that are at least thirteen years old, which nobody has touched until this episode.
    • Flip is implied to have flooded a supermarket across the street in order to slow down business there.
    • Flip does not know that 30 ÷ 2 = 15; he instead thinks it's 10, which is actually 30 ÷ 3.
  • This is the third episode to feature Flip driving a plane, after "No Bus No Fuss" and "Zach Attack".
  • This is one of the few times in which Chandler addresses Lincoln and Clyde by only their first names without insults.
  • Innuendo: When Lucy notices rocks falling from the sky, she comments, "The end is finally here", implying that she interpreted it as the end of the human race in a similar fashion to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
  • Irony: Lincoln and Clyde initially wanted to be Flip's one-millionth customers, but if they had won the contest instead of Chandler, they would've been screwed over by Flip, who had hidden all the good merch from them.
