    open/close all folders 

    Main Series 

Episode 1 — Bunking In

  • The episode begins with Lisa dissing the community by saying they have "limited brain power," and Lincoln telling her to be nice. She then continues to diss the community for the whole "nice sisters, mean sisters" thing by saying that she cannot be nice because according to the authors, she is a "mean sister."
  • In the story the siblings are reading, Lynn Sr. says that there's "been a robbery on couches." The Louds deduce this as meaning that there have been robbers breaking into homes to steal only couches, and nothing else.
    Luan: (pretending to be the burglars) "Hey, Mel, I just found a big box of jewelry! The pawn shop'll pay a fortune for this!" "Put that back, you idiot! We're just here for the couch!"
  • After one of Luan's pie gags in the story (read: just throwing the pies everywhere in the room) Luna walks out of the bathroom after a shower. Lincoln then asks if she "got the cream out of her hair." Luan and Lori (the real ones) start snickering over this.
  • Lisa being so much of a Grammar Nazi that she decides to rig every window in the house with a miniature explosive and detonate one of them each time the story switches from past to present tense.
  • Lisa finally reaching her breaking point when she sees the following line in the poem that Lincoln writes in the story: "Me is Lincoln L. Loud."
  • Lincoln's not sure what he thinks of story-Lincoln, who is whiny and thinks his sisters draped in towels are real ghosts, but on the other hand, can play the drums and flute and do karate in his sleep.
  • When Lincoln asks Lynn Jr. if she'd let him sleep in his room in the story...
    Lynn (in the story): "Of course! Not after you let me stay at your room!"
    Lincoln: "Was that a yes or a no?"
    Lisa: "I don't know. I don't speak Cantbebotheredtoproofreadese."

Episode 2 — Substitute Roommate

  • Leni notices that the fanfic author's username is Bobbybooboobear and wonders if Bobby wrote it.

  • When Mr. Grouse in the story complains about Lincoln and Luna playing ball "in a neighbourhood where you can hit people?", Lisa (the real one) points out that there aren't neighbourhoods where you can't hit people and Leni brings up Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
  • When Lincoln in the story says, "I rather do quiet stuff!", Lisa (the real one) says, "And I'd rather hear you speak properly!".
  • The kids point out that Lynn Jr.'s response to Luna and Lincoln's jam session in the story seems more like fear than annoyance.
    Lynn (in the story): "AH! Is it over?"
    Lincoln (in the story): "What's over?"
    Lynn (in the story): "That loud music that sounded like it came from upstairs."
    Lincoln: "What?"
    Lola: "Since when is Lynn that scared of loud music?"
    Luna: "Yeah, she lives one door down from me. If she was scared of loud music, she'd have PTSD by now."
    Leni: "She'd have what now?"
    Luna: "You know, post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD."
    Lisa: "She'd have 'pits-duh', Leni."

  • Lisa commenting that "3 AM in the morning" is redundant.
  • The kids pointing out that in the story, Lincoln went up to the basement as opposed to eating on the table.

  • Lincoln pointing out how his fanfic counterpart hates Luna's affection and says, "I'm eleven, not six. No offense, Lola."

Episode 3 — Bad Blood

  • Lincoln drops a metric ton of Fridge Logic onto the Sister Fight Protocol, and the ensuing argument winds up breaking MrTyeDye himself, stopping the episode in its tracks.
  • Lisa points out how the author mentioned that Lincoln and Lynn were "wrestling violently", as if there's a nonviolent way to wrestle.

  • When Lincoln insults Lynn for having a big butt in the story, the real Lynn is proud of her butt and shakes it around. Everyone is grossed out except Lana, who wants a butt like Lynn's.
  • The author accidentally writes, "Rita" instead of "Lincoln".
    Lana: So Mom and Dad visited Lynn and... Mom?"

Episode 4 — Road Trip Rage

  • The impetus for Lincoln getting left behind in the story is that Lynn Sr. announces that they will pull over to use the bathroom quickly, but five minutes later, Lincoln is looking at the forest.
    Luan: "Pretty sure Dad said, 'Let's pull over and use it quickly', not 'Let's pull over, use it, and then take a minute or five to look at the scenery.'"

  • When Leni in the story wonders if Rita is cooking and that's why she smells smoke, Lincoln (the real one) points out that Lynn Sr. is the one who cooks for them.

  • After the fanfic is over, the Loud siblings are sad because it involved a fire and serious emotional bonding (and possibly Izzy and El Diablo died), and they decide to go out for burgers. Lynn wants fire sauce, then adds, "Poor choice of words."

  • Lynn and Lincoln snicker when Lynn in the story says, "Who knew I had so many balls?!".

  • Lincoln complaining about a whiny, mean wimp version of himself.
    Lincoln: '"Oh, boy" is right. [Looks into the camera] Guys, I don't know how many times I have to say this, but… I don't hate my sisters. I don't hate living here. I love it, and I love them. [Turns back to the TV] Okay, let's just hope that sinks in.'
    Lincoln: 'Oh, no. Not this Lincoln again. (to Lucy) The Lincoln who does nothing but cry and mope because he thinks he's the biggest victim who ever lived. Where are authors even getting this from?! I don't do that! That's not what I'm like!'
    Lincoln: 'Are Lori and I just competing to see who can be more awful?'
    Lincoln: 'If I did all that, I wouldn't blame you for wanting to pulverize me. Hell, I'd want to pulverize me.'
    Lincoln: 'I know I've said this before, but this isn't me. This isn't my attitude. [Looks from side to side] You guys know I love all of you, right? Equally?'
    Lincoln: 'So I spend half the story treating my family like garbage, and I get rewarded with toys, video games and merchandise. What's the moral of this story, exactly? Check that: toys, video games, merchandise and breakfast. Check that: toys, video games, merchandise, breakfast and a homemade costume.'

  • On the capitalization of the word "science".
    Lisa: "Apparently, all of my experiments are done for the benefit of a person named 'Science'. Either that or the author doesn't understand how proper nouns work."
  • After Lincoln gives Lynn a "viscous" response, according to the fanfic...
    Lisa: "Then, Lincoln's flesh melted into a thick, dense, sticky fluid. Because that's what 'viscous' means."

    Lisa: "That's a discus."

Episode 10 — Whipped

  • After Lori expresses annoyance at Luna's kind gesture early in the story:
    Lori: Well, I don't know if I'd phrase it quite like that, but I do think other me has a point here.
    Leni: Hmm? How so? Don't you care for Lincoln, too?
    Lori: Of course I do. But when I decide to do something nice for him, I don't try to make a show out of it and announce to everyone how caring I am. I just do it.
    Lisa: "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward." - Matthew 6:5.
    Everyone gives Lisa a funny look.
    Lisa: What?! I'm not allowed to have interests beyond science?!
  • A few minutes later Luna and Leni in the story decide to take Lincoln to the mall for a "day of fun"
    Lincoln: You know, if you want to give me a "day of fun", I can think of a few other places I'd rather go than the mall.
    Luna: What, like a rock concert?
    Luan: Or a comedy show!
    Lynn: Or a basketball game!
    Lucy: Or a cemetery.
    Lola: Or a toy store!
    Lana: Or a petting zoo!
    Lisa: Or a science museum!
    Lily: Play-gand!
    Lincoln: Girls, girls, girls. You're all thinking about places that you like to go to. Try thinking of what I like.
    All of them stop and think for a few moments.
    Lori: The... video game... factory?
    Lincoln: Close enough.
  • The sisters in the story are intentionally clogging the toilet:
    Lori: Oh, great idea! Let's clog the only toilet in the whole house so nobody can use it!
    Lana: Well, to be fair, we'd probably be unclogging it right afterwards. You know, after we trick Lincoln into thinking he did it. That way we'd have a usable toilet and he'd still be our slave. It's a win-win!
    Lincoln: Will you listen to yourself?!
  • Leni being teased by an imaginary Leni about not having her driver's license.
  • Lana pointing out that you can't clog a toilet with your pee.

Episode 11 — Lynn's Bruised Hand, My First Fanfic, I Know it's Really Bad, and Stuffed Anger

    Lynn: (after Lynn in the story wants to go to the doctor) "For a bruise?!"
    Lynn: (when the real Lincoln suggests that the story Lynn is afraid of being put out of commission) "As if! I've been hurt way worse than that. There was the time I got hit in the face with a baseball and broke my nose, the time I skateboarded into a stone wall, the time I took a bad fall at a roller derby and my hand got run over, the time I tore my ACL playing soccer, the time I dove into the shallow end of the pool and cracked my head on the bottom... (five minutes later) ...the time I took a suplex the wrong way and almost broke my neck, the time I got tackled in rugby and busted up my elbow... I still have the scar from that last one, by the way. Oh! And the time that I..." (keeps rambling)
    Lynn: "Okay, no. I wouldn't spend days sitting in a stupid bush waiting for my boo-boo to go away. If anything, I'd just go home."
    Lynn: "Wha... it's just a bruised hand! I can still run, and jump, and throw, and do one-handed catches, and... it's a bruised hand!"
    Lynn: "Would've been better if I wasn't written as some kind of wimpy sad-sack."

    Lucy: "You're not wrong."

  • Luan complains about her fanfic counterpart wangsting about Nolan being older than her.
    Luan: "Really? I'm gonna get all broken up because one of my friends isn't the same age as me? That doesn't even make sense."
    Luan: "Like what? What can a fifteen-year-old do that a fourteen-year-old can't?"
    Luan: "Ugh, this is ridiculous. Even if he was my best friend in the whole world, I wouldn't care if he was one year older than me."
    Luan: "We're really still going with this, huh? Forget "best friend": this kid must be my entire universe."
    Luan: "You know, it makes me wonder. How good a friend can he really be if I expect him to desert me just because he's not the exact same age as me?"
    Luan: "Excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall."
  • Luan thinks it's weird that Nolan kissed her story counterpart on the cheek despite being a platonic friend. Lincoln points out that platonic friends kiss in France, to which Luan says, "Well, this is America!". Fireworks then go off and "The Star-Spangled Banner" plays.

    Mr. TyeDye: "Canon everyone would be insulted."

  • When Lincoln hopes his family doesn't find him...
    Epsilon: "Because now that their heads were miraculously cleared due to my rant, they may recognize my whiny fanon persona and Lucy'll perform some satanic ritual to cleanse me... Wait a second. Maybe I do want that to happen."
    Kirby: "If that happens, I'm gonna watch while eating nachos."

  • Lincoln disapproves of Hugh in the story saying, "Get it away from me!" about Lily because it's weird expecting sexual advances from a baby and he called Lily an "it".

    Lisa: "Stockmarket crashes!"

    Luna: "Chick-fil-A's anti-LGBT views!"

  • Lola criticizing the "Truth" questions for not being embarrassing enough.
    Lola: (on a "truth" question being how Lori and Bobby met) "Really? That's the best you can come up with? Ask her if she's ever cheated! Tell him to read the mushiest message she ever sent him! Just because it's 'truth' doesn't mean you have to go soft!"
    Lola: "Of course [Lori] was [telling the truth]. She had no reason not to! That question sucked!"
    Lola: (when story-Lynn is asked what her first sport was) "Really? Really? What is this, Baby's First Truth or Dare?"
    Lola: "Who. Cares?! The point of a truth isn't to stump the other person! You're supposed to embarrass them!"
    Lola: (when story-Lisa says she's not going to take another "truth") "Why not? They're basically freebies anyway."

Episode 22 — A Second Chance

  • Lisa, Lana, and Lori talking about why "invaluable" means "valuable".
    Lisa: That advice would have been invaluable a couple of days prior.
    Lana: What are you talking about? I think it really would have helped him.
    Lisa: That's what I said.
    Lana: No it isn't. You said it wouldn't be valuable.
    Lisa: No, I said it would be invaluable. "Invaluable" means "valuable".
    Lana: That doesn't make any sense.
    Lori: Actually, it does. When something is "valuable", it has worth. If it's invaluable, it means that its worth is too massive to measure. It's like the difference between "ordinary" and "extraordinary".

Episode 25 — Melancholinc

  • Lincoln describes class night as "like prom night, but lamer".
  • Apparently, Liam doesn't believe in evolution and used to think the moon was a star and bats were bugs. Lisa is not impressed.

    Lori: Well Lynn's dead.
    • Finally, the last major attempt on Lincoln's life shown is foiled Clouseau-Style: He ducks just as a tank fires its shot, which ends up blowing up another assailant. Lincoln is barely perturbed by this.
    Lincoln (in the story): Very strange...
    Lori: A man just died in front of you, Lincoln. "Very strange" is kind of an understatement in this situation.

The PTTFW Christmas Special — Secret Santa

  • The very first joke of the Special

Episode 30 — Lincoln's Twin Brother

  • Lori and Lynn argue over anime and mimic the other's favourite anime characters mockingly:
    Lynn: Pfft. Of course you like that girly shojo trash. Ooooh, I'm gonna beat all those big scary monsters with the power of love and friendship and butterfly kisses!

  • The Lana in the story is not allowed to get dirty because Lynn Sr. would be mad. This leads to this conversation on the couch:
    Lana: Well, he can deal with it, as far as I'm concerned. To be dirty is to be Lana. When you scrub away the dirt on my face, you're scrubbing away who I am.

    Lana: Thanks! I thought that one up while I was takin' a whizz.

  • When the Lynn Sr. in the story reacts negatively to Lincoln saying he played Hide and Seek with the girls, Luan asks, "Did Hide and Seek kill his grandma or something?".

  • As it turns out, Lincoln's friends have some trouble keeping track of which sister is which.
    Stella: Clown wig? I thought she [Luan] usually wore all black.
    Zach: You're thinking of Lana. Luan's the funny one, Lana's the gloomy one.
    Rusty: No, you're both wrong. Lana is the dirty one. Lucy is the gloomy one.
    Liam: Lynn's the sporty one and Lisa's the brainy one. I know that much.

  • The real siblings note that the angel and the devil on fanfic Lynn's shoulders don't seem to be doing a good job:
    Lynn: "Seems like evil me has a lot more faith in me than good me. Dunno what that says about me."
    Lynn: (after the devil gets offended at being called a dunce) "Okay, time out. I am not that thin-skinned." [...] "Well, devil me isn't thin-skinned either!"
    Lisa: (because the angel keeps fighting the devil) "For an 'angel', this apparition is quite prone to violence."
    Luna: (when the angel says that pushing her story counterpart downstairs would get Lynn in more trouble) "Wha-that's your concern? What kind of an angel are you?!"
    Luna: "If she were a true angel, she'd say that doing the right thing IS getting in trouble."
    Lisa: "I think Lynn should thinking about getting the physical manifestations of her conscience replaced. They're clearly defective."
    Luna: (when the devil gets defensive) "Seriously, brah? Why are you letting her shame you? You're a devil. Own it."
    Luna: "You're far from perfect yourself, Angel Lynn."
  • Lana keeps getting Sidetracked by the Analogy— she's not sure if she's a rat or not (i.e. a snitch) since rats are cool, points out how the tree has fallen on her head instead of in the forest, and says, "Like a clumsy spider" when told Lynn is weaving a tangled web in the story.

  • Lily offers to do fanfic Lincoln's homework, but the real Lincoln says that Mr. Bolhofner would probably notice if Lincoln had let his two-year-old sister do his homework.
  • When Lincoln points out that he's Luan's only brother, so her calling him her "favourite brother" in the story isn't very effective, Leni thinks Mr. Coconuts is another brother.
  • Lily having a Sweet Tooth is a Running Gag in this episode:

    • When Lincoln offers cake, she runs around so fast that everyone else gets dizzy.
  • When it's revealed that the people in the story are serving five cakes, Lincoln jokes that they're inviting Kirby, and Leni makes a Non Sequitur:
    Leni: "I'm just saying, serving five cakes at once is like squeezing water from a boot and having it come out the other end. It can't be done."
  • Lucy suggests that the story's conflict could be solved by turning Lincoln into a vampire. That way, he could be Luan's assistant and do his homework at night, since vampires don't need to sleep.
  • Lincoln finding a moral to the story: "Have some faith in yourself. You're better than you think you are. And keep your grimy hands off my homework."
  • When Luan in the story is thinking of a way to apologise to Lincoln, Leni (the real one) suggests flowers, since they mean "I'm sorry" while chocolate means, "I love you".

Episode 35 (The Godsisters, Game Crashed, and Fracture)

  • Sergio once changed Ronnie Anne's lockscreen to a gif of two cockatoos mating.
  • When Lincoln brings up that in the second story, he's essentially homeless, Luan berates him for being serious when they're meant to be being funny.

  • When Ronnie Anne wonders if the reason the cat gang is so aggressive is because Cats Are Mean, Cliff gives an offended meow.
  • After the story's Ronnie Anne kicks Lincoln in the crotch, the real Ronnie Anne wants Lincoln to hit her to make them even.

  • When Lori in the story moans while eating her burger, Lana wonders if it's "so good it hurts", and Lynn Sr. feels awkward.
  • Lynn Sr. in the story says that the hamburger meat "isn't strong enough". The real Louds wonder what that even means, eventually imagining bringing a dead cow back to life and making her exercise. Lynn Sr. makes a joke about "beefing up", which everyone groans at, but Luan joins in offscreen.
  • Lucy's view of eating meat.
    Lucy: "So she becomes more powerful by consuming the flesh of others?"
  • Lynn Sr. says that his family wastes food. As if on cue, Luan throws bread at Lucy from offscreen.

  • When fanfic Lisa believes Lincoln decapitated Rita and Lynn Sr., she says, "Afraid so". The real Lincoln calls her out:

  • This exchange:
    Fanfic Lori: "Alright. Time to put Operation: Convince-Lincoln-to-not-kill-us-tomorrow-or-we'll-end-up-like-Mom-and-Dad-and-think-of-a-shorter-name-for-this-operation into action!"
    Real Lincoln: "Hey! Overly long operation names are my thing!"
  • Lisa thinks it's strange how in the story, the sisters are imagining Lincoln mounting their heads on the wall, since real-life murderers tend to hide the bodies. Lincoln responds with "That's your concern?!".
  • Everyone's stunned response when the Lola in the story tries to be nice to Lincoln by stripping him so he can read in his undies.
  • Lola revealing that Lana has grown to like baths... but only so she can shake herself dry like a dog.
  • In the story, Lana imagines accidentally knocking Lincoln out... with mud.
    Real Lincoln: "Knocked out? Sheesh, was there a stone hidden in that mud ball?"
  • In the story, Lisa does an experiment on herself that makes her feet bigger. She describes it as "discovering Bigfoot", which causes the real Lisa to wonder if she meant discovering herself. Luna replies with:
    Luna: "Mick Swagger says he discovered himself when he spent five months in India learning to play the sitar. I don't think this is the same thing, though."
  • Lisa saying that she's a scientist, not a witch when her serum in the story is described as a "potion".

    Lynn: "Some straw."
    Lexx: "But the straw is too long."
    Lynn: "Then cut i—"
    Linka: (covers their mouths) "Nope. Nuh-uh. We're not doing this."
  • When Linka in the story dreams she eats a chocolate tree, the real Luke tells her to at least replant it. Lynn says, "Oh, who are you, the Chocolate Lorax?".

Episode 39 — Sir Hugs-a-Lot

    Lana: "It's just like Speedy the Porcupine says: if someone tries to touch you in a place or in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good."
  • When Lori is jealous that Lana finds "big brother hugs" more special than "big sister hugs", Lana explains that it's only because she has six big sisters but only one big brother. Lisa adds that it's "simple economics".

  • All of Mr. Grouse's commentary while he throws shade at both the story and the people he's reviewing it with.
    Mr. Grouse: Eh, that's the internets for ya. Every weirdo with an ISP can show the world how weird he is, and every other weirdo with an ISP gets to congratulate him for it. It's the age we live in.
    Mr. Grouse: (about Leni bumping chests with Luan in the story) Kind of like slammin' a couple of beanbags on an ironing board, isn't it?
    Mr. Grouse: (after hearing Lisa installed a spy camera in the bathroom) You people are a circus.
    Mr. Grouse: Is this what my life has become? Sitting on a couch with my neighbors reading someone's furry jailbait fantasy?
    Mr. Grouse: Eh? No, today's parents are fine. Your parents are a couple of jokes.

    Leni: "What?! I wouldn't let you take me to school like that! I mean, I guess I would, since I'd be thinking like a cat, but... no! No, I wouldn't! Cats don't go to school! Cats stay home and chase mice!"
    Luan: "And fuck their sisters."
    Leni: "And fuck their- no!"
    (everyone but her starts laughing)
  • Leni swiping Luan's panties (in the story) without her friends noticing, somehow. Then again, Mr. Grouse has an explanation for this... much to Luan's disdain.

  • When the story is revealed to be a school project that Lincoln is doing (but before the reveal), Luan takes a guess at Mrs. Johnson's next line
    Luan: "You all are now officially expelled from every school in the country" [Beat] "Make that every school on the planet." [Beat] "Every public place on the planet." [Beat] "Actually, let's just make it the planet. Off to Mars with you, buddy."
