Lynn Loud Sr.

* Television Series
* Live Action

**Lynn L. Loud, Sr.** is the father of the Loud children and husband of Rita. He is a supporting character in *The Loud House* and *The Really Loud House* and is a minor character in its spinoff *The Casagrandes*.

## Biography

In *The Loud House Movie*, it was revealed that he has Scottish heritage.

In "Fed Up", it is revealed that Lynn Sr.'s astrological sign is Libra, which means he was born on or somewhere between September 23 and October 22.

In "Home of the Fave", it is revealed that during Lynn Sr.'s childhood, his father, Leonard, played favorites with him and his siblings. Despite this, however, Leonard would always take Lynn Sr. on summer vacation to Camp Mastodon, as revealed in "Camped!"

In "The Macho Man with the Plan", it was revealed that Lynn Sr. shares his birthday with a person from his childhood named Jake Strong, who was so much more popular than him, all of the neighborhood kids would attend his birthday party instead of Lynn Sr's. After his mother failed to attract the neighborhood kids to her son's party, she decided to start celebrating his half-birthday instead.

"Recipe for Disaster" revealed that, in middle school, Lynn Sr. learned cooking from his home-economics teacher, Mildred Scalise, who often collaborated with him and gave him some unique cooking tips. The two wrote down in every recipe they created in identical recipe books.

According to "Study Muffin" and "L is for Love", he spent a semester in England, which made him love British culture.

According to "House Music", he tried to play in a music band, but his bandmates kicked him out, because they did not like his cowbell playing.

According to "L is for Love" and *The Loud House Movie*, he met Rita when he was walking through the street and they fell in love at first sight. Since she was too shy to directly talk to him, she slipped love letters to him whenever he passed by, eventually asking him out on a date at Banger's & Mosh.

Lynn Sr. wanted to be a chef, but to keep his wife and children fed and well, he worked as an IT specialist. He eventually quit that job in "Job Insecurity" and began working at the Aloha Comrade, where he initially worked as a dish-washer (a job he personally hated) before being promoted to co-chef. Several months later, he finally achieved his dream of opening his own restaurant, Lynn's Table, in "Cooked!"

## Personality

Lynn Sr. is stern, and often calls a halt to his kids' fights, but he loves and cares about them. He also loves his wife, and often acts playfully romantic towards her. He has been shown to have a childlike side at times, even sometimes taking part in his kids' antics, when it's all in good fun. He's also the more sensitive of the two parents, often necessitating his wife and kids to step in whenever he needs to pull himself together.

On a side note, he seems to enjoy jokes and dancing. He is shown to dance on occasions in episodes such as "The Loudest Yard", "Ties That Bind", "Come Sale Away", "House Music", and "Lock 'n' Loud". It is mentioned in "A Tattler's Tale" that he won a dancing contest and received a disco ball that Lincoln broke. In addition, in "Sleuth or Consequences" he mentions enjoying karaoke. On occasion, he enjoys Luan's jokes, and tries making his own, which appeal to Luan as well, as shown in "Raw Deal".

He is also shown to be quite neurotic; as he screams and faints at the sight, sound, and idea of spiders, as well as Lana's mud wrestling, horror movies, and Halloween.

He has a habit of prefixing words with "ding-dang" when frustrated.

## Appearance

Lynn Sr. wears a sea green sweater over a light green checkered collar and cuffs, brown slacks and shoes. He has a long pointy nose, brown eyebrows, and curly brown hair that is thinning on the top. In the series, his thinning hair always connects to his back hair, but in *The Loud House Movie*, there is a bald patch between them, which is only visible when he is viewed from the side; when viewed from the back, his thinning hair seems to connect to his back hair.

In "House Music", when he is playing the cowbell, he wears a yellow-striped shirt, and green pants with a rip that exposes his underwear. In his youth, he sported a mustache, though he seems to have shaved it by the time he met Rita. His hair was also straighter and parted in the middle.

In live-action, his hair doesn't appear to be thinning.

* He has a tendency to lose consciousness when he is afraid. For instance, he spent most of Halloween unconscious due to his fear of the holiday, and almost delivered Lincoln but he passed out before he was able.
