Review: The Loud House | Season 1 Episode 3

Episode 3A: Driving Miss Hazy:

Whether it aims for your heart or your funny bone, The Loud House never misses. This here episode takes that fact into full gear as we see Lincoln trying to help Leni pass her driving test, so that he can stop doing chores to get rides from Lori. First time tuning to this episode, I was really worried that a lot of unwanted emphasis would be put onto Leni's stereotype, but what we got instead was a fantastic episode, filled with a few good chuckles and that infamous "Wait!" gag. (Fun Fact: It's even available as a music track on musical.ly!) It also included some nice character development for Leni, which was very well-done. My one complain though: Lori was too much of a jerk in this one. I mean, how hoggish can you get? But it easily makes up for that with all the other aspects I mentioned above. Overall, it's a fantastic watch and I recommend that you see it the moment you can. 10/10

Episode 3B: No Guts, No Glori:

We've already seen how much of a jerk Lori can be, but what if I tell you that when she's the lady of the house, it makes her Get The Message behavior seem like that of a high-honor student. Not that it's a PROBLEM, or whatever. Her drill sergeant getup actually fits PERFECTLY with her bossy character. She definitely isn't making a good impression for new-comers to the show, but like they always say: everyone loves a good villain. Luckily for you heroic hamsters out there, she isn't like this for much longer. The rest of the Loud kids turn the place upside-down, and when Lincoln realizes his mistake, he tries to simmer everyone down to no avail. He then seeks help from Lori, who seemed to care less about her siblings acting like animals, and then we're treated to an enjoyable clean-up sequence where everything turns back to normal. But my favorite part is at the very end when Lori learns her lesson and agrees to play a video-game with Lincoln. This episode may not seem like much from the viewer reception it got, but this episode was a lot of fun. Give it a watch the second you can. 8.5/10
