Top 10 Ideas for The Loud House Season 4
Some ideas The Loud House could have used for its fourth season, which aired in 2019. These ideas could still inspire future episodes or spin-offs.
In this special, the sisters get mad at Lincoln when he tries to help with their activities but ends up screwing things up. The final straw is when he accidentally breaks Lori's phone. She gets angrier than she's ever been and, without thinking, snaps at him, even going so far as to say she wishes she never had a brother.
Hurt by her words, Lincoln decides to run away from home. The next day, feeling guilty for how they treated Lincoln, the sisters go to apologize to him but discover that he has run away. This leads to them blaming one another for making him leave. Along with Lynn Sr., Rita, and their friends, they launch a desperate search to bring him back.
Meanwhile, Lincoln ends up in the city, where he gets taken in by a gang who welcomes him as one of their own. Things take a turn for the worse when their leader pressures Lincoln to take part in a rumble with a rival gang. Unbeknownst to Lincoln, one of the rival gang members plans to sneak a gun into the fight.
Ronnie Anne finds out about Lincoln being in the gang and tells Bobby, who calls Lori. The Loud family rushes to save Lincoln before something horrible happens.
This is one idea I really want to see. In the episode, Linka Loud, the female version of Lincoln, wants to find out what life would be like with 10 sisters instead of brothers, similar to the One of the Boys episode. Levi helps her by using a machine he invented to open up a portal that will transport her to a world where she has 10 sisters. However, the machine goes haywire after Lexx and Lief get into a fight and bump into the machine, causing it to malfunction.
The other Loud brothers go to check it out, and all of them, including Linka, get sucked into the portal and end up in Lincoln's universe. At the same time, Lisa is also testing her portal machine, similar to Levi's. They emerge from the portal, destroying both machines, as well as the watch that would allow Linka to return home. Now, Lisa and Levi must repair the machine to allow them to return to their own universe.
It would be great seeing the Loud siblings interacting with their genderbent counterparts and watching them work off each other. For example, seeing Luna and Luke have a jam session, or Luan and Lane making jokes and puns. There's so much potential with this idea that it should be a full-hour special rather than just an 11- or 22-minute episode.
It's the day before April Fool's Day, and Luan, having learned nothing from the previous April Fool's Day episode, plans on giving the Louds the worst pranking they have ever seen. Fearing the worst, the family tries to come up with a plan to avoid Luan's pranks.
They decide to hire a super pranking genius (I haven't thought of a name for him yet, so I'll call him the Prank Master), voiced by Weird Al Yankovic, to give Luan a pranking she'll never forget. It works, with Luan's pranks backfiring on her thanks to the Prank Master. He even brings in people she's pranked in the past to get their revenge on her.
Finally fed up with his sisters treating him poorly, Lincoln decides to stop being nice and starts bullying his sisters, making their lives miserable. He even dyes his hair black and begins dressing in all black.
Meanwhile, Lucy helplessly watches her once-kind brother turn into a malicious monster bent on destruction.
Those sisters would have had it coming after all the crap they put Lincoln through. I would love to see him retaliate and give them all a taste of their own medicine.
One of Lisa's experiments goes wrong, switching the Loud siblings' minds with one another - Lori with Leni, Luna with Luan, Lana with Lola, Lynn with Lucy, and Lisa with Lincoln. Worst of all, the siblings have to perform their siblings' tasks while in their body.
For instance, Luna has to perform at one of Luan's party gigs, and Luan has to perform a gig for Luna. Lynn, while in Lucy's body, has to perform in a poetry contest, and Lucy has to take Lynn's place while playing on Lynn's baseball team. The jokes pretty much write themselves.
May I add these plot ideas?
Beginning: The family hosts some kind of party for everyone. Lincoln comes in and unintentionally ruins it. The family feels embarrassed and tries to think of good things he has done for them.
Plot: He then meets some kind of weird being who shows him what everyone is like without him. Almost everyone he knows is suffering to an extent.
Ending: The family admits to all the good things he has done.
Sorry if it's bad. I'm kinda tired.
Lincoln sees what life for his family and friends would be like if he had never existed. He discovers that everyone is miserable without him and that his sisters end up with a brother who is mean and abusive toward them.
Lincoln's birthday is approaching, and he is excited. However, after hearing from his older sisters about how things changed for them as they got older, he begins to worry about how much things will change for him.
He also starts to lose interest in many of the things he used to enjoy and becomes incredibly depressed. His sisters and friends try their best to cheer him up.
While on a family road trip, the Louds' van breaks down, and they take refuge in a creepy mansion. They are taken in by the family that lives there, but it doesn't take long for them to realize this is not a normal house.
The mansion is haunted, and the family they met earlier turns out to be ghosts. To make matters worse, their ghostly son wishes to make Lucy his bride.
Lincoln makes a new friend, and he invites Lincoln for a sleepover at his mansion. But at 12 a.m., Lincoln starts experiencing spooky things in the mansion. Lincoln finds ghosts, zombies, vampires, and monsters, but realizes that his friend is actually a mix of those four things.
At the end, Lucy comes and saves Lincoln and turns his friend back into a human. The friend reveals a backstory about an evil witch that trapped him in the mansion and made him haunted. NOTE: This should be a half-hour special.
In this full-hour special, the Loud family decides to spend Christmas at the Casagrande household. This time, the focus is placed more on Lincoln and Ronnie Anne, although Lori and Bobby would still have their moments as well.
The story would also have Lincoln reunite with his old friends from the city (from the episode idea Lincoln Runs Away) and show what they have been up to since he last saw them.
I think this is a really good idea. Hopefully, it actually happens.
The Newcomers
Lincoln, for no particular reason, becomes obsessed with endangered species and constantly bothers everyone about saving nearly extinct life.
Lincoln is assigned to be a spy tasked with tracking down other evil spies.
Still a work in progress: Instead of focusing on the sisters being mean, the episode would focus on Lincoln feeling jealous that the girls are given bigger roles in the movie. He finds this unfair, especially since the only reason they even have the opportunity to be in the movie is because of him (as he created the Full Deck gang back in Season 2).
Lincoln ends up teaming with the director to rewrite the movie. The plot twist would have Lincoln become the villain and destroy the Full Deck gang, aka his sisters. It is later revealed that the director really hates the Full Deck gang.
An entire episode centered on the Genderbent Loud universe as we see Lincoln's female counterpart Linka Loud and her 10 brothers, who are the male versions of Lincoln's sisters.
This would be part of a Halloween anthology episode that would be loosely based on the Goosebumps story Night of the Living Dummy. Luan starts getting blamed for a series of pranks and the siblings having their stuff destroyed. Mr. Coconut begins saying really horrible things about them without Luan saying them.
It turns out Mr. Coconut is actually alive and is the one doing all these things and getting Luan blamed for them. Of course, nobody believes Luan.
The complete opposite of No Such Luck, Lynn's baseball team is on a losing streak. She finally allows Lincoln to come to one of her games after overcoming her belief that he is unlucky. To her surprise, her team actually wins.
Lynn begins to think Lincoln is lucky and insists he come to her games so her team will keep winning. The other sisters suddenly start believing Lincoln is lucky as well and try to use him as their own lucky charm. However, things quickly spiral out of control as the sisters start fighting over Lincoln to help them bring good luck.
During the episode, after Lincoln's backpack gets mixed up with another kid's, he discovers it contains a dirty magazine. Lincoln attempts to sneak out of the house to dispose of it, only to realize he accidentally grabbed an Ace Savvy comic instead.
Meanwhile, upstairs, the sisters find the magazine and are shocked. Lincoln, too embarrassed to face his family, runs over to Clyde's house to hide out. Back at home, the sisters are horrified by their discovery, and the parents find out as well. Lynn Sr. is particularly horrified at the thought of having to have "the talk" with Lincoln.
Finally fed up with Lola always bossing him around and yelling at him, Lincoln takes a stand and begins to bully her.
When Lincoln drinks a potion that makes him feel like a bully, he starts to pick on Lola, making everyone in the Loud House family think that he is having a bad day.
Lola is faced with a new pageant rival who is more ruthless and more determined than her to win.
Lincoln decides to throw a house party while his parents and sisters are all out. However, another kid from his class is throwing a bigger and better party, and everyone decides to go to that party instead.
The only ones who attend Lincoln's party are Clyde, Liam, Rusty, Stella, and Zach. Lincoln becomes increasingly depressed after seeing videos of the other party and realizing his own party is a bust.
Things take a turn when Lincoln's sisters come home early and find out about his failed party. They decide to help him out by inviting all of their friends, turning it into one massive house party. As expected, things get even more chaotic as more guests arrive. This episode could also feature many past characters as well as one-off characters.
Lincoln and Sam accidentally get stuck together thanks to one of Lisa's experiments, which couldn't be at a worse time, as Luna and Sam were supposed to go out together that night. This forces Lincoln to tag along with them. During the night, Lincoln and Sam end up bonding and becoming friends, similar to A Fair to Remember, which leaves Luna feeling like the third wheel.
After seeing Lincoln being able to speak Spanish after learning from Ricky, one of the gang members he hung around with from the episode where he ran away, Lori too wishes to learn Spanish from Bobby but has a much harder time learning than Lincoln did.
Lincoln and Lori return to the city, where Lincoln spends time alone with Ronnie Anne. Ronnie Anne's family mistakenly believes the two are on an actual date and begins spying on them while trying to make their day together special.
Lincoln takes part in a big brother program for a class project and begins spending a lot of his time being a big brother to an only child. This makes the younger sisters - Lola, Lana, Lucy, and Lisa - incredibly jealous that Lincoln is giving all this attention to this kid and ignoring them.
It would be cool to see Lincoln as a teenager and the others grown up.
Probably one of the most overdone ideas. In this three-part episode arc that parodies the first three Star Wars movies - A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi - with Lincoln as Luke Skywalker, Lori as Princess Leia, Bobby Santiago as Han Solo, and Clyde as Lando, Lisa would be Yoda.
Sounds like an idea that will probably be made, although Lori isn't really fit to be the princess. I think she would be more fitting as Jabba The Hutt or something. I would like to see other suggestions on what roles other TLH characters would take on.
Lana decides to start her own pet detective business and gets her first major case.
In this Mario Kart-inspired episode, the Louds and their friends take part in Lisa's new virtual reality system. They participate in a racing game where they pair off in teams of two, similar to Mario Kart: Double Dash, to see which team comes out victorious.
The teams consist of Lincoln and Clyde, Lori and Leni, Luna and Sam, Luan and Benny, Lynn and Margo, Lucy and Haiku, Lana and Lola, Lisa and Darcy, Rusty and Zach, Liam and Stella, and even Lynn Sr. and Rita. This episode would also be a half-hour special.
