No Bus No Fuss (The Loud House)

No Bus No Fuss is the 13th episode (14th in production order) of the fifth season of The Loud House.

Plot
Lincoln and his friends try to find another way to get to school after a run-in with the 8th grade bullies on the bus.

Why It's An Absolute Fuss

 * 1) This is yet another dull episode with Lincoln and his friends.
 * 2) The bus bullies (names: Anderson, Pablo, and Taylor) are extremely generic and have no personality other than the "generic bully" stereotype. They do nothing more like they're like to sit in the back, but gets aggressive when someone sits on their own chairs.
 * 3) The plot feels more like a Mh:awesomegames:Roblox bully story than a Loud House episode.
 * 4) The Loud sisters barely get any screen time. Not helping is that Lynn Loud Jr.'s only purpose in this episode is for filler only
 * 5) Wasted potential: like many other episodes of this show, this one wasted the school bus setting, which is supposed to show what is it like to be in a school bus in real life while at the same time have funny moments in it, but this one is ruined by a lot of stale or unfunny jokes that are dragged on for far too long while the rest of the episode just focuses on the torture scenario of Lincoln.
 * 6) Most of the jokes in this episode are really bad:
 * 7) *The instances where words ending in "ay" get replaced with "yay", like "Fri-yay" or "O-yay", which sounds very cringeworthy and is yet another example of Nickelodeon trying to be "hip and cool". Not helping is that this joke dragged on for too long like any Family Guy (Seasons 8-present) jokes.
 * 8) *Liam's pig Virginia barfing on Clyde, which is both disgusting and really unfunny. This one also lasted for far too long.
 * 9) Lincoln's friends are idiots in this episode as they throw pens, a sandwich and mud at the bully, not knowing they would make it worse. Maybe this would make sense for Liam, Rusty and Zach, but Clyde and Stella definitely should've known better.
 * 10) Flip launches the gang out of a plane, which is really dangerous. What makes matters worse is that this very scene threw away any chance to make Flip change to a better person in the preceding episode..
 * 11) The episode is super repetitive, with a long montage of getting to school.
 * 12) The ending is very rushed, and the kids face literally no challenge getting the bullies to stop.
 * 13) Clyde's dads have been flanderized into overprotective nervous wrecks, even covering the car in bubble wrap.
 * 14) The title of the episode is stupid. Seriously, "No Bus No Fuss"?
 * 15) Although Lynn's appearance is minor, she once again proves to be a bad sister, by stealing Lincoln's breakfast burrito and eating it for no reason.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It was kind of cool to see the friends' different cars.
 * 2) It was amazing that the kids on the school bus standing up to the bullies.
 * 3) There was a really funny inside joke involving Lincoln noticing he only has 4 fingers when counting how many cars there are to ride on.
 * 4) Thankfully, Lynn Jr. isn't put on bus monitor duty just to abuse her position the same way she abused her hall monitor position.

Reception
No Bus No Fuss was hated by fans of the show, currently holding a rating of 3.6/10 on IMDb.
