This episode is one of the most beloved among most fans, and I can see why. The story follows Lincoln trying to take a perfect family photo to give to their parents as a special anniversary present. His picture doesn't come out as planned, so he decides to take a new one. We're then treated to a sequence of funny scenes that involve Lincoln getting his sisters out back for the retake, while in course, showcasing the distinctive batch of personalities each sibling has to offer. (I also LOVED the part where Lynn acts like a puppy. :3) Little did he know that he was rubbing his sisters the wrong way, and he goes too far when he gets everyone to wear an ugly Christmas sweater for the photo. When his sisters ask what was wrong with the other one, he openly states that they were being themselves, which proved to be the last straw. Lincoln got the picture he wanted, but as he returns home with the framed photo, he realizes how wrong he was to berate his sisters for being themselves. The powerful message this scene delivers is very heartwarming and it makes this episode really stand out as a true masterpiece. When Lincoln hands his first picture to Mom and Dad, he apologizes to his sisters and was the ultimate way to cap off a beautiful episode. This cartoon was really powerful in teaching it's audience to be thankful for what they've got in life. Hence the name, this cartoon truly is picture perfect. 10/10
7B: Undie Pressure
When it comes to giving viewers a good look into a day in the life of the Loud kids, Undie Pressure does it best. After Lola complains about Lincoln's gross habit of reading comics in his Y-fronts, he calls her out for being obsessed with her mirror, as well as several other of his sisters and THEIR annoying habits. All this prompts his sisters to team up against Lincoln in a throwdown for the ages. Whoever could go the longest without giving in would win. (If Lincoln won, the sisters had to keep quiet about his annoying habit AND they had to purchase him a new pair of what he calls "victory undies". But if the sisters won, Lincoln had to give up reading in his underpants forever) The rest of the episode proves just how lovable and funny the Loud siblings are, as they start dropping like flies after being under pressure by Lola to do what they like doing. But if you're already on the edge of your seat, the next bit will make you fall out of it. Only Lincoln and Lola are left standing, and by now that "relaxing" sentiment is over and the real fun begins. Each of them decide to start playing dirty to fight their way to the top, and Lincoln's biggest rival suffers an awesome and much-anticipated defeat after she snaps and clears the smeared makeup from her face. For a moment, Lincoln believes that he has won, and rubs it into his other crushed sisters. But in an unbelievable twist, he notices that Lily hasn't cried once throughout the whole shebang, making her the surprise victor. If you think things have already come full circle, think again. This episode delivers yet another outstanding moment of sibling love as Lola ends up ordering Lincoln his undies and teaches the other gobsmacked sisters that we shouldn't ridicule others about their annoying habits. All in all, it proves that while Lola may not get along with her only brother that often, she still loves and cares for him very much, which is a perfect way to wrap up a tense episode. This episode was beyond FANTASTIC. With all the many funny moments, the non-stop suspense, Lola's OUTSTANDING antagonist performance, the powerful sibling bonds, and a perfect heartfelt ending to finish it off, this cartoon remains as one of the best episodes of the ENTIRE series. Bravo, Alec Schwimmer! 10/10
