Plunging the way for one of the best episodes

Well, this is new for me. Usually I'm all about Loud House but today I wanna do something that won't make me question my sanity. If anyone from my Loud House reviews sees this, PLEASE WATCH THIS SHOW... at least maybe the top 3 on my ranking. Thanks to my friend for suggesting me to review this show and the title idea.

This episode starts off like any episode of this show, George and Harold are making a comic book with the help of Erica. This is the only episode where I don't dislike her. Usually she's just a badly written "girlboss" type, but in this episode she's actually cool without it being shoved down my throat. Anyways, they're working with her to make up a new girl hero, Plungerina. They make up the villain Cloggernaut (not sure how to spell it) for her to fight, and Erica says that if he actually existed Plungerina would do a better job than the absolute goat Captain Underpants.

The boys are understandably shocked and they end up making a real Cloggernaut to prove to Erica that Captain Underpants would be able to do a better job than Plungerina... however Krupp isn't there. He's at the Principal's Convention with Melvinborg. The fact that all of this, one of the villains, the fact that Krupp is gone, and everything else is set up right away makes this episode a lot more enjoyable than others because there is no filler. Well, a real Plungerina comes and she beats Cloggernaut. Which leads to this episode's main conflict, figuring out who Plungerina is (it's obviously Erica but I really don't care that they try and do a twist because the boys actually have reasons for assuming literally every other female is Plungerina), this is where the episode gets even better.

So for the next bit of the episode, George and Harold go around trying to figure out who Plungerina is. This could be argued as filler, however I don't mind it because it's entertaining... and once again, I know it's Erica so it's not really like a "yeah obviously _'s not Plungerina" situation. They suspect Miss Anthrope after they see her buying plungers (with a really funny and ridiculous explanation as to why), so they go to her house and try to confront her because Cloggernaut is back (he was created because a teacher flushed the toilet with everything inside it to make him, and the 0 braincelled individual did it a second time). Because of this "confrontation" at Miss Anthrope's, they create another monster, Clogneta, who is hilariously introduced in this episode with a cutaway screaming her name in an opera-like fashion. I really really like the fact that they make another villain here. It ups the stakes even more and it's also very unique as no other episode has had two villains in one 22 minute piece.

After making Clogneta, Plungerina comes back and they go to Miss Anthrope's neighbor's where they run into Clogneta again. This part shows off how good this show's animation is. It's very fluid as everything in the bathroom is getting messed up and just shows how big of a threat Clogneta is in this episode. After a sick bit of animation, Plungerina gets flushed with Clogneta, so they call Krupp and get Captain Underpants.

They all go into the sewer and have a showdown with Clogneta and Cloggernaut, where Plungerina is revealed to be Erica... shocker. So they all start working together to defeat the two villains and get Captain Underpants to flush every toilet in Piqua, which causes them to turn back into Mr. Fyde and Miss Anthrope. Very nice animation showed here once again and of course the fight is awesome. I don't know how to describe it here... but whatever.

This episode is absolutely incredible and feels straight out of the books, I love it. 10/10 would watch again. Thanks for reading!
