### Type of Villain

Misanthropic Bully

**Chandler McCann** is the recurring antagonist of the Nickelodeon animated television series *The Loud House*. He is Lincoln's arch-rival and current classmate.

He is one of the most popular kids at Royal Woods Elementary School and a barbaric jerk as opposed to be mean, spoiled, rich, and greedy kid who enjoys bullying and taking advantage of other kids. As of the fifth season, he becomes even worse and more of a bully towards Lincoln and his friends.

He is voiced by Daniel DiVenere.

## Appearances

Chandler has fair skin and auburn hair in a hairstyle similar to Luna's. Like Lincoln, he has freckles on his cheeks. He wears a green long sleeve shirt with white sleeves, which has a print of a blue gear, black pants with a black belt, and white sneakers with green stripes.

In "Shell Shock" and "Jeers for Fears", his shirt is now yellow instead of green. Starting from "Wheel and Deal", his shirt is now dark green with a white gear.

In all of his Season 5 appearances following "Schooled!" however, he wears the yellow shirt he wore in prior seasons.

In Season 6, however, his outfit reverts back to the dark green shirt he wore in Season 4.

## Personality

Chandler is a freeloader and a conceited boy who despises for Lincoln and his friends. He only invited Lincoln and Clyde to his birthday party because they gave him free stuff at the pizza arcade, and not because he likes them as friends. He also frequently calls Lincoln "Larry" and later "Lincoln Lame".

He seemed to be very popular in elementary school, as seen in "The Waiting Game" when all the kids were excited to know who was going to be invited to his party. In "Jeers for Fears", he briefly acts respecting towards Lincoln and Clyde, but he goes back to being their rival as of "Wheel and Deal".

He has now become more of a bully towards Lincoln and his friends in middle school, actively bullying Lincoln and trying to ruin his life, and also mocking Zach for believing in aliens. Perhaps for this reason, he shows exceptionally immoral traits and no longer seems to be popular with his fellow students like he was in elementary school.

## Biography

### Background

Chandler is the son of a sewage plant worker and the middle child of three children. He goes to the same school as Lincoln and Clyde, but doesn't seem to be in the same class as them despite Lincoln referring to him as their classmate in "The Waiting Game". He's one of the popular students in school.

### Involvement

In Chandler's debut episode, "The Waiting Game" in the first season, he invites all of Lincoln and Clyde's classmates to his birthday party that he annually throws at the sewage plant where his father works, but ignores Lincoln and Clyde. Then, when he sees Lincoln getting free food and tokens at Gus' Games 'n Grub because he helped Lori get a job there, Chandler gets Lincoln to do all sorts of favors for him, taking advantage of Lori's generosity towards her brother. He eventually *does* invite Lincoln and Clyde to his party, but in the end, Lincoln, seeing that his sister has to work overtime to pay off all the free stuff as punishment for her actions due to Chandler tricked him into doing that, decides to skip out on Chandler's party and cover for Lori at the restaurant so she can lifted her punishment by go to the school dance with Bobby.

Two seasons later, in "Jeers for Fears", Chandler and his friends, Trent and Richie, plan on checking out the Royal Woods House of Terror. Chandler believes that Lincoln and Clyde are too chicken to visit the attraction themselves, but when Lincoln says that he and Clyde plan to go there themselves, Chandler opts to tag along. When they eventually do go to the House of Terrors, however, Chandler and his two companions ultimately are the ones who end up running out of the house in fear first, as it turned out that *they* were too scared by the House of Terrors. Chandler then sees that Lincoln and Clyde successfully made it all the way through the House of Terrors (unaware that the pair were actually just as frightened as he was), and worries that they might rub in his shame at school. But Lincoln and Clyde tell him that they won't do that to him, and as a result, he comes to respect them a lot more.

However, in the next season's "Wheel and Deal", Chandler appears as one of Lincoln and Lana's rivals in the Royal Woods soapbox derby. He is only keen on winning the race rather than getting the opportunity to meet Bobbie Fletcher like Lana wants to. Seeing how much better his and the other race-cars are over the one Lana has built leads Lincoln and his friends to try to cheat in Lana's favor during the race.

Chandler appears in the fifth season's hour-length premiere, "Schooled!" and also now as the main antagonist of the series, in which he is revealed to be one of Lincoln's classmates in Mr. Bolhofner's class at Royal Woods Middle School (due to Principal Ramirez doesn't work out for Lincoln to assigned to Mrs. Salter's class with his friends because there's no room left) which he is even worse and more of a bully to Lincoln and his friends than before. In "Season's Cheatings", Chandler eavesdrops on Lincoln at the Burpin' Burger and decides to help him with his plight of needing a gift for Lola. He reveals a briefcase full of diamond earrings retrieved from the sewage plant, which Lincoln knows Lola will love. However, Chandler demands payment and refuses to accept Lincoln's mere twenty dollars, making Lincoln to sacrifice his coveted Rip Hardcore backpack. Delighted at having two Rip Hardcore backpacks, Chandler celebrates Christmas by playing with Lincoln's backpack, Lincoln was heartbroken and ends up missing out on Christmas because of him, but only to crash into the Loud House's tree the next morning.

Outside of the show itself, Chandler also appears in the book *Campaign Chaos!*, in which he is Clyde's rival in the election for school treasurer, and episode 13 of the *Listen Out Loud* podcast, in which he snags the table meant for Lincoln and Clyde, and wins a chance to spin the Wheel of Pizza at Gus' Games and Grub.
