The story of this cartoon proves that growing up with 10 sisters is no cakewalk, when Lincoln purchases a pair of sound-cancelling earbuds to block out the noise caused by his sisters. This proves to be successful, until Lola reminds him that he promised to do something for her by 3:00 that afternoon. This constant point makes the episode very intriguing, as he starts hearing about past experiences with some of his sisters when they step foot into Lola's bad side, which is a pure highlight for the episode. Unlike most spoiled brats, Lola is shown to be more hush-hush when it comes to playing dirty. Instead of throwing a fit, she'd take matters into her own hands, which is what's so unique about her character. Not only that, but great emphasis is put on the mass destruction she can cause, like boiling Lori's phone when she ignored her sneeze, or burying one of Lana's frogs after he messed up her mascara. He hears about these stories whilst doing favors his sisters claim he agreed to do when he was wearing the earbuds the day prior. But ultimately, everything he did that day was a trick hatched by Lola to teach him a lesson about ignoring them all. Now a lot of people dissed this episode for not having a good lesson and for the sister's treatment of Lincoln. But I argue that shutting your family out of life isn't OK really is an important lesson, ESPECIALLY if you have a lot of siblings. As for the sisters, I agree that maybe they crossed the line a little with their treatment of Lincoln, since they didn't even thank Lincoln for the favors he did but he WAS in the wrong as well for ignoring all them. And plus, the message is something we'll see more of in the episodes to follow, so there's that. To cap off this review, the episode was fantastic and very memorable for it's lesson, humor, and relatability, and it's the episode that got me to fall in love with Lola in the first place. This is one of Michael Rubiner's best works. 8.5/10
6B: Space Invader
One of the perks of being the only kid of it's kind in the Loud family is that Lincoln doesn't have to share a room. (even if it's technically a closet) But when after a fallout with Lucy causes Lynn to bunk with Lincoln for the night, he soon discovers how hard it is to share a room, because Lynn isn't exactly the most welcoming roomie. In this cartoon, we're given many awesome ideas of how Lynn is as a character. And she's not this rough, scrappy sports star that everyone thinks she is. (That's initially how I thought this whole thing would go down) Instead her energetic personality is presented through humor and really livens up the simplistic plot. She really is a fun and hugable teddy bear that just likes doing what she does best, despite being too rough for most tastes. This eventually proves to be too much for Lincoln after she performs her nighttime rituals. (Ex: she throws a ball at the wall to help her fall asleep) In one amazing sequence of heartfelt moments, we see that while Lynn and Lucy do have their ups and downs, (just like anyone with roommates) they still have a lot of love for one another. Lynn has a book of Lucy's old poems, and Lucy has a ball she throws against a wall. Knowing this, Lincoln tries to get the two girls to make amends, by treating them to a dinner. But things go awry real fast, and the two break into a food fight. Afterwards, Lincoln succeeds in resolving their conflict, and it's a perfect heartwarming ending to a perfect episode. 10/10
