I can finally review this episode after going through the tiring process of changing "Lilly loud is a 5 year old kid now" to this. I'm praying to god this show doesn't get a season 8, I'm literally only sticking around because of Lola.
Bye Tanya (using it without the comma because I don't want to confuse myself) is a surprisingly great episode. This episode revolves around the second best sister in the show, Leni. That enough is potential for a good episode, looking at you Fashion No Show. It also takes place at the mall with Fiona and Miguel, two characters I have heavily missed for some time now as Leader of the Rack is also one of the best episodes in the show to me. More props for using different locations such as the warehouse.
This episode is similar to the season 6 episode Lights Camera Nuclear Reaction where Lincoln and Clyde also have to break into a warehouse to save something. In this episode, I'll admit it's a little bit better than Nuclear. Why? For starters, this one is more realistic. It makes more sense breaking into a warehouse to save a mannequin Leni's really attached to rather than a spy mission to stop Todd from destroying the world because of his "evil mode". It also just has characters I find to be more sympathetic. Taking points off for kind of ripping off a previous episode, but still a better version of it.
Most of the episode boils down to the three employees trying to save Tanya because the old mannequins are gross. The first half also lowers the score a little bit because it gives me ever-so-slight second hand embarrassment. But not by much. It's very fun whenever Leni accidentally puts Tanya in the truck and they have to go and break in, which also acknowledges the fact that Leni can drive in this episode! I just love when this show actually remembers it's continuity.
Anyways, rest of the episode is pretty entertaining, and Mrs. Carmichael comes to save the day and turns off the machine so Tanya can be saved. This is the one major thing I don't like about this episode. I mean, I'm fine with it but I'm just sick of the happy ending. If it ended with Tanya being "killed off" so to speak it would give a lesson that good things don't always last forever and that you have to remember the good times, similar to Camping from Bluey. But who am I to expect more than cardboard-adjacent writing.
8/10. Pretty good episode that shows this season can be good but just chooses not to. This episode was written by Andrew Brooks, who wrote one of the worst episodes in the whole show The Taunting Hour. Just throwing that out there.
Back to my usual ranting for the episode What Lies Beneath. I really do not care for the Morticians Club so I could care less about an episode dedicated to one of the most boring members in the club. If it was about an actually developed character like Haiku, ok that would make more sense. But no, it's focused on Dante. Also, there's this cat throughout the episode that has never been in any episode before this, which just goes to show that this is only here to move the plot. This episode was written by the writer of Bummer Camp, just throwing it out there.
Most of this episode is just filler nonsense. Dante buried something in the beginning of this episode which sets up the plot. What makes this episode even worse is the fact that he buried ice cream because he hates sharing. Mother. Freaking. Ice. Cream. You'd think a refrigerator would be a good place for that.
Also, there's a dude at the cemetery who's also never established in any episode before this. He is only here for a conflict. Everyone goes to a grave store to buy "Ernie Shovelgate", who Dante pretended the buried ice cream's tombstone was, a better headstone. But of course, the cemetery guy never established before this episode just so happens to eat his lunch right buy the tomb of Mr. Ernie The Fake.
I'm not giving much background detail because I assume you already watched this episode prior to reading this review.
Most of this episode gives me secondhand embarrassment as well, but to a much higher degree, due to the antics at the grave store mostly. I really despise Dante after watching this episode. Thanks for ruining another potentially good background character, Loud House!
3/10, not the worst thing ever but jesus christ is this episode flawed and the actual definition of filling up a slot. Thanks for reading <3.
