Making the Case (The Loud House)

"Making the Case" is the fourth episode of the first season of mh:besttvshows:The Loud House.

Plot
Lincoln records his sisters doing funny or embarrassing things to win a video contest.

Why This Episode Doesn't Deserve Any Trophies

 * 1) Every character that appears in this episode is unlikeable in some way.
 * 2) * Lincoln is the most unlikeable in this episode, as he films his sisters' most embarrassing moments on purpose. His sisters got Trophies that match their personality, Lincoln on the other hand wants a trophy for the sake of it.
 * 3) *Clyde is no better, as he went along with Lincoln's plan instead of talking sense into him. He also said "Ahh, Lori's toots. Music to my ears."
 * 4) * The sisters, themselves, are no better at all, as all ten of them overreacted about the video by disowning their brother just because of a bad video, with even Lucy saying that she doesn't have a brother and Lola banning Lincoln from all of her birthday parties, which is too intense. They could've simply told him to remove the video instead of disowning him as if he did something truly unforgivable or irredeemable. They might have had every reason to be furious at Lincoln, but at the same time, it can still be seen as a harsh punishment. Luan and Lily also get mad at Lincoln for some reason, even though he didn't film either of them at all.
 * 5) * Lincoln's classmates are no better, either, as they are just jerks who all laugh at the Loud sisters from the first video and later even taunt Lincoln about his video.
 * 6) Lincoln should be aware that he should ask his sisters for permission to upload the video, but, to be fair, Luan didn't tell him to. Thus, explains why she was no better, either.
 * 7) For some reason, Lincoln is aware of the rule although it is unspoken, according to Luan (which is why she never told Lincoln the rule). This should all be Luan's fault, too. You can have Lincoln be punished for his actions, but you can have Luan get away scot-free for not telling her brother about the rule? You can't portray a character like Luan as a total hypocrite just for this episode like this.
 * 8) What could be so enjoyable about a video about a hamster? Lincoln's first video deserved to get at least twenty-five likes than nothing like how that hamster video got fifty likes.
 * 9) The infamous (and slightly disturbing) shot of the Loud sisters looking angrily at Lincoln upon entering the house, which is used twice, although Lisa looks more stern than angry.
 * 10) Neither Luan, The Loud sisters nor Lincoln's classmates get their comeuppance for what they did to Lincoln.
 * 11) Although it has a good message, it is executed horribly in this example, mainly as a result of the sister disowning Lincoln as their brother unfairly over one bad video, and Luan never taking any responsibility for never telling Lincoln about the rule in the first place by going along with disowning him for the incident.
 * 12) The scene where Lincoln kisses a picture of Christina on Lucy's Edwin doll has not aged well following Chris Savino's sexual misconduct allegations.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Surprisingly good ending: Lincoln, after embarrassing himself, does get a trophy at the end to make up for losing his contest, and all of his sisters forgive him and like him again.
 * 2) Some clips of the sisters are somewhat funny, including Luna ripping her pants.
 * 3) The moral is good despite the poor execution, as Luan stated that you shouldn’t upload embarrassing videos without permission.
 * 4) To be fair, Lincoln might have recorded Lily and Luan off-screen.
 * 1) To be fair, Lincoln might have recorded Lily and Luan off-screen.
