The Green House (The Loud House)

"The Green House" is the twenty-second episode of the first season of The Loud House.

Synopsis
Lincoln tries to encourage the family to stop using so much electricity.

Why This Episode Should Go In The Red House

 * 1) To begin with, it's yet another Lincoln torture episode as he is treated horribly throughout the episode.
 * 2) A lot of the characters are completely unlikeable here:
 * 3) * The students are jerks and think that Lincoln hates polar bears just for not listening to him correctly.
 * 4) * Ms. Johnson is a total hypocrite; when the class wins the Polar Bear Challenge, she announces that the polar bear has been named after her.
 * 5) * Lincoln himself is no better and a hypocrite, because he tells his sisters that they can't consume energy, even though he played an online game, which consumes energy! He's also seen to be incapable to say "no" as his schoolmates that are playing inside his house say that if he's not okay with it, they can go, however, Lincoln says "No, no, no. I'll make it work."
 * 6) * The two students from Lincoln's school come inside his house without asking, and they play the online game instead of doing what they were supposed to do, showing that they care more about a stupid game rather than one of their schoolmates. They don't even get punished for not helping Lincoln out with the Polar Bear Challenge. What a pair of lazy idiots.
 * 7) * The sisters are not any better; Lincoln nicely asks them if they can help him with his school project, but instead of just saying "no", they start throwing stuff at him. They also are shown to be very spend-thrifty, here is a list of examples:
 * 8) ** Lori calls Bobby in multiple devices because, in his own words, she likes to admire Bobby from "multiple angles".
 * 9) ** Leni opens the water tap, and she doesn't even use the water coming out from it! She just pats her hair as nothing happened and that's it! We know Leni is an airhead, but surely she must have some common sense, right?
 * 10) ** They even later blamed Lincoln for his "hypocritical" actions, yet they are the ones acting like hypocrites because they were doing little to almost nothing about helping their brother out with his situation.
 * 11) **They also make Lincoln pedal on a bike while he is sweating so they didn't learn their lesson.
 * 12) Some of the scenes are either gross and/or uncomfortable to watch:
 * 13) * There is one scene where Lincoln pedals on a bike to make more energy while sweating and panting.
 * 14) * And another scene shows Lori changing Lily's diaper, just to show that she's been changing Lily several times, as there's a giant mountain full of diapers.
 * 15) * And yet another scene where all the sisters are shown wearing potato sacks instead of clothes for some reason, and it's very out of place for the show and would fit much better in a horror game.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Bobby,The Loud Parents and Clyde are the only likable characters.
 * 2) The concept of Lincoln trying to keep his house on the green is interesting if only its execution did not go wrong. The episode's premise was later revisited in the season 4 episode "Power Play with the Casagrandes", where it was pulled off much better, and it even pokes fun at this episode's events and poor reception, where Lori says "Been there!" in a contemptuous tone when Bobby tells her that his family is trying to cut back on electricity.
 * 3) That joke about Lincoln's classmates not throwing Lincoln's life out the window because he "stepped up his green game", but he had to attend class outside the classroom, making his life literally out the window was kinda clever.
