'''''The Loud House''''' is an animated American [[comedy]] television series created by [[Chris Savino]] that premiered on [[Nickelodeon]] on May 2, 2016. The series features the voices of [[Grant Palmer]], [[Catherine Taber]], [[Liliana Mumy]], [[Nika Futterman]], [[Cristina Pucelli]], [[Jessica DiCicco]], [[Grey Griffin]], [[Lara Jill Miller]], [[Caleel Harris]], and [[Collin Dean]]. A feature of the series involves Lincoln Loud, the middle and only male child, breaking the [[fourth wall]] to explain to viewers the chaotic conditions and sibling relationships of the household. In addition to the series' regular episodes, Nickelodeon also released two shorts on its YouTube channel on April 18, 2016.

== Plot ==
The series is set in the fictional town of Royal Woods, [[Michigan]], which is based on Chris Savino's hometown of [[Royal Oak, Michigan|Royal Oak]]. Each episode chronicles the suburban life of Lincoln Loud who is the only boy and middle child in a family of eleven children. He has ten sisters with distinctive personalities: Lori, the bossy child, Leni, the ditzy fashionista, Luna, the musician, Luan, the comedian, Lynn, the athlete, Lucy, the gloomy goth, Lana and Lola, the polar-opposite twins, Lisa, the genius, and Lily, the baby. Lincoln often encounters problems as a result of his large amount of family members which his best friend, Clyde, helps him solve. Clyde spends much of his time at the Loud house and communicates with Lincoln via a walkie-talkie when he is not around. Lincoln normally explains his issues to the audience by breaking the [[fourth wall]] and speaking to the viewers. While most of Lincoln's plans to make his life easier backfire, his predicaments tend to bring the family closer together.
