What in the name of Jacques Cousteau is happening in here?!
We're giving the room a boat-chic makeover! It's for our viewing party we're hosting tomorrow.
[takes off her scuba helmet] We're gonna watch The Dream Boat season finale with Sam and Gavin.
Rumor has it, there's going to be a tidal wave of emotion!
And an actual tidal wave of water!
[confused] Wouldn't it be simpler to just host your nautical soirée on an actual sea vessel?
[sarcastically] Yeah, Lis, lemme call all the people we know who own a boat. [pretends to take out her phone] Ah, boop-boop-boop-boop-boop. [into her imaginary phone] Hi, nobody? Do you have a boat we can use? No? Cool. Thanks anyway. [pretends to hang up] Click.
[groans; annoyed] You can't think of anyone, ladies? Because the answer is staring you in the face.
[Leni and Luna glance to a picture of Cliff in the bathtub, looking wet and annoyed]
But how does Cliff drive his boat with those teeny-tiny paws?
[realizes what Lisa meant] Dude! [pan to the photo of Leonard and his boat] Gramps has his own ship! How did we blank on that?
And nothing says boat-y like a boat! Let's call him and ask!
[Morning at the Loud House in Petoskey Falls; Lance is eating a stack pancakes and Sharon drinks her coffee, while Shelby, in a light-pink cloak, rushes under the table, scurries into the doorway behind her mother and runs into the kitchen, then opens a drawer of kitchen supplies and pulls out a colander]
You can see me? Huh, this invisibility cape isn't working. Well, don't mind me. I'm just borrowing stuff for my Orcs, Horks, Wizards, and Pork campaign later. This colander would make a great helmet! [runs off into the next room]
[takes out her phone as it buzzes while Lance drinks his coffee; shocked with horror] Oh, no. One of my students is having a yoga-mergency!
[glances at the phone and spits out his coffee; horrified] Yeesh! I didn't see the human's favorite body bending that manner.
Oh, it can't. I must go help her. Ugh, but I'm supposed to drive Shelby to Royal Woods for that "Orc, Bork, Pork" thing.
I can drive the Shelbster. It'll give me a chance to get some much-needed daddy-daughter reps in. I feel like we're not connecting, you know, like we used to. [gazes at the photo of his younger self holding up a younger Shelby on the refrigerator] It used to be so much easier when she was little.
Ohhh, don't worry, baby. I'm sure that after today, you two will be closer than my head and my feet in hedgehog pose! [curls up like a hedgehog and rolls off-screen]
[Lance and Shelby arrive at Tall Timbers Park in Royal Woods for the Orcs, Horks, Wizards, and Pork, and find Lynn Sr. and Lincoln there, too]
Be that my favorite brother and favorite niece?
Lincoln! Uncle Lynn! [runs over to her favorite cousin and uncle, all hugging happily]
Sweet bathrobe, little bro.
Nae, good sir. 'Tis a magic cloak, for I am Hamdalf the Wise. And this is my apprentice, Spare Rib. Ahh, I see you're traveling with the Pork Ranger!
Verily! I be a half-orc archer whose prosciutto arrows have slain many a foe! Now to come up with your character, Dad.
[runs over to his father along with Shelby when he comes out of a bush, dazed and groaning] Hamdalf! What happened?
[ashamed] Forgive me, companions. Dumbleboar didn't send me on a quest to faraway lands to seek the gem, yet I have failed.
[confused] "Faraway lands"?
Verily. I had to cross I-75!
[turns to her father; shocked] Were you trying to get rid of Uncle Lynn?
[nonchalantly] It was just a misunderstanding.
[off-screen] You, sir, are a cheater! [comes out of another bush, his hands and feet are tied up with sausages and his wizard costume is gone] This monster broke out of the stocks and tied me up in sausage!
[Lynn Sr. gasp in shock]
[hurt] That's not true, Dad. Is it?
[as Kotaro and Harold glare at him; hesitantly] No, it's n-- [stammers] I don't know. I di-I didn't...
[fuming angrily at him for sabotaging the game and deceiving her] Thanks for ruining the game! [runs away]
Shelby! Wait! [sighs in disappointment to himself as everyone else walks away and comes up to his brother] Well, you win. Shelby officially likes you better.
[confused] What are you talking about?
I came here to connect with Shelby, but instead, she ends up connecting with you. Thanks, Hambone.
Okay, it's "Hamdalf," and I'm not your problem. You are.
And what is that supposed to mean?
You haven't been listening to Shelby all day. You've just been doing what you want. This game might seem silly and ridiculous to you, but it's important to her.
[touched by the wise words] Huh. Wow, you are so right. You really are Hamdalf the Wise. I know what I have to do.
[The episode begins at the store that was mentioned in Fool's Paradise, Fanny's Prank Emporium. Luan rides her unicycle outside it.]
[Luan walks inside the store, but as she does, she steps on a whoppee cushion, and it farts.]
FFanny
"Welcome to Fanny's Prank Emporium!" [She finally appears on screen for the first time. She is on the latter restocking the shelf.] "We take silly seriously!" [She falls backwards off the latter and lands into a box of pranking supplies. She pops out of the box and gasps.] "Luan! My number one customer!"
[Happily to see Fanny] "Happy Friday, Fanny!" [holds up her cash] "I just cashed my paycheck. Got anything good? I've got the prank itch!"
FFanny
[Approaches, carrying a box] "Oh! I have just the thing for you!" [She reaches into a box, and pulls out an exploding ink pen, much to Luan's shock.] "Exploding ink pen!"
"Mmm, I already did that on my mom. It went off in Vanzilla so I bonus pranked my whole family!"
[Flashback: The siblings and parents are in Vanzilla covered in ink. Rita is holding an exploding ink pen and a notebook. The kids are horrified, and Lynn Sr. is annoyed. End flashback.]
FFanny
"Hmm, alright then." [pulls out a blue dye chewing gum] "Ah! How about blue dye chewing gum? Uhh?"
"Did that one too, on Katherine Mulligan while she was reporting a story."
[Mr. Grouse backs up in the driveway. When he isn't looking, The bush moves. Luan is inside a bush, giggles about her fake lottery ticket prank that's gonna work. Mr. Grouse gets out of the car with his groceries. The bush moves closer to his car and Luan swipes the ticket for a fake one.]
[Giggles as her lottery ticket prank worked] "Wow! He really bought it! I can't wait to see his face when I tell him the truth!"
[Luan starts to walk to Mr. Grouse's house to tell him about that the lottery ticket she gave him was just a fake]
[holding a laundry basket; stopping her] "Stop! Luan, I need your laundry."
"Okay. Right after I finish this thing."
"No. Right now. I need to do a load of colors before I go to work." [as Luan holds up her finger, about to speak] "Please don't make a pun! Just get your laundry."
[quickly runs upstairs to her room; off-screen] "Incoming!" [tosses her laundry onto her mother]
[Rita walks off. Luan continues going to Mr. Grouse's house by going out the door, Lincoln comes in and stops her.]
[Panics as her lottery ticket prank backfired] "Aaaaaaah!!! This is terrible!"
[Not listening] "I'm still working on the name."
[Still panicking] "NO!" [grabs him by his collar] "I'm talking about the money you spent!"
"You've pranked us all, Luan, and it was high time for us to get you back."
If Fern even gets a whiff of me, it’s game over and I'll never get those shoes! We need to call an audible.
Lynn, years of customer service has taught me how to handle these kinds of people.
[Lincoln enters Lisa and Lily's room when he heard an explosion and saw that Lisa created a holographic version of herself]
Lisa?! Why is there another Lisa, Lisa?!
Salutations, lone male sibling. I see you've met my holographic doppelgänger.
[sticks his hand through the hologram] Whoa. This is incredible!
Aw, thank you. Mother suspended my experiments after I may have singed off Lily's hair with hydrogen dioxide. [Lily appears with her hair burned off, grumbles angrily at her, and walks away] Thus, I hid my lab in the closet, invented Holo-Lisa, and ol' Rita is none the wiser!
[calling from downstairs] Lincoln! You're not playing video games, are you? [comes upstairs and sees the Holo-Lincoln vacuuming the mess outside his room]
HLHolo-Lincoln
Just cleaning up!
Wow! I gotta say, I'm a little surprised. I thought for sure you would try some elaborate scheme to get out of cleaning your room. Okay! Well, I'm off to the paper.
HLHolo-Lincoln
Just cleaning up!
Yes, I got that. [walks away, suspiciously]
[pops out of the mess] Looks like this weekend just got a whole lot Button Mashier!
[peeks out from the kitchen and sees the other Holo-Lincoln studying on the table; surprised] I gotta say, I thought for sure you'd try some elaborate scheme to get out of studying.
HLHolo-Lincoln #2
Just studying! You know me!
[tearing up] I guess you're… [sniffles] growing up! I know. I'm sorry. "Not cool, Dad!" [chuckles] Well, I'm off to the restaurant. Keep up the good work!
[Lincoln is in the kitchen, looking for something in the fridge and Luan and Mr. Coconuts appear, startling him]
Oh! Hey, Lincoln! I came in to remind you that my comedy show is starting in the living room! [leaves as her brother smiles nervously]
[to the viewers] I'm all for supporting my family, but Luan's comedy shows can be a lot. Especially if Mr. C decides to roast me again.
[Flashback to the last comedy show]
Well, if it isn't the man with the plan! I assume you planned on keeping that booger in your nose?
[Lincoln covers his nose with a booger sticking out and sinks in embarrassment as his other sisters laugh at him; End of flashback]
[wipes his nose with his finger] Time to shine, Holo-Lincoln.
Lincoln? Why is there another Lincoln, Lincoln?
[sighs] It's a long story.
Let me guess… You didn't want to clean, study, or watch Luan's comedy show, so you came up with an elaborate scheme that involved Lisa's holograms?
And this is why you're my best friend. [his phone buzzes, getting a text from his father] Uh-oh. My dad just asked if I want anything from the kitchen.
Oh, that's nice. And honestly, I'm a little peckish myself.
No! This is bad! My dad's at the restaurant, which means a Holo-Lincoln must be there too! We have to get to Lynn's Table before he figures out what's going on!
[exits his room and sees countless Holo-Lincolns all around the house; worriedly] Uh… This is bad.
[screams off-screen] LINCOLN! [hugging Eunice as the holograms surround her in the twins' room] WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
[cowering in fear on her bed; screams] IT'S A LINCOLN-POCALYPSE!
[kicking the door open; determined] Don't worry. I'm gonna make these holograms holo-gone!
