What is the cartoon called?

There’s this quote from this cartoon show I saw. It was a monster holding its kid, talking about how that one just sort of gets him. He has two other kids who he thinks are okay but they know he isn’t his favorite so they will push to be good people while the kid he favors probably won’t be a good person. What show is this?

Appreciate all the help from comments.

Episode Question: In the episode “Phat Johnny” at the end they find out the Monkey Growth Hormone was the cure to the malfunctioning muscle bar. Why didn’t Bling Bling Boy add it into the bar? It would have fixed it allowing him to stay buff and get a date with Susan.

Some of you may or may not already be Loud House fans, but I urge many of you to give the show (and its following) another chance.

NOTE: This was a post from a few months ago I uploaded on some other subreddits, so some of you may have seen this before.

"The Loud House" was a series that was once predicted to surpass "Spongebob Squarepants" in size and popularity. It was expected to reach extremely large heights of success and acclaim.

But over the years, while it has found moderate amounts of success in places, it just hasn't achieved what it was supposed to.

It barely gets any merchandise, and not a particularly large amount of advertising, either. As a further indication of its limited status, its subreddit is tiny compared to other popular cartoons (i.e. Spongebob, Owl House, Rick and Morty, Amphibia, Family Guy, etc.). To be honest, apart from the recent movies it has had, the only time people ever bring it up is when somebody decides to make a video bashing it (Cartoonshi, Mr Enter, and most recently LS Mark).

It's also in that awkward position, that bad level of mid-tier popularity. Where it's a big and popular enough show that fans of less popular shows will attack it for being on the air too long and for hogging attention and screentime away from newer series that struggle to get off the ground. But it's also not popular enough that it gets mentioned as being an all-time great cartoon of its generation (let alone all time). It seems everyone just hates TLH nowadays, which honestly sucks.

But do you know what? I think it's a testament to how good the show actually is that it has managed to survive every single hurdle thrown its way over the last 8 or so years...

* The backlash of infamously bad episodes like "Brawl in the Family" and "No Such Luck"

* The Chris Savino scandal (for those of you who don't know, the show's original creator turned out to be a creepy sexual predator and a real jerk)

* Both of the former issues resulting in the show's staff distancing themselves away from the fanbase, thus resulting in some episodes and creative choices being out of touch with what the audience wants to see

* The existence of Loudcest. Nuff said

* Popular YouTubers taking advantage of all this chaos to slander the series' reputation and legacy further for their own profit

* The aforementioned lack of merchandise

* Nickelodeon clearly having no interest or idea over what to actually do with the franchise to help it reach its full potential (Nick in general is known for treating a lot of its shows that aren't Spongebob pretty poorly, to be fair, even this one, which is supposed to be its SECOND BIGGEST SERIES)

* Some other other toxic sides to the show's fandom

And yet, despite ALL of that, the show has managed to survive and reach a modest level of success. Why? Because there is so much that is still actually good about this show.

The show's cast is excellent. There are so many colourful characters in this show that you're bound to like at least some of them. Between Lincoln, his ten sisters, and all the supporting cast (and all the cast of its spinoff, "The Casagrandes"), there are so many different, exciting, interesting, and at this point highly developed personalities that work off each other so well that their interactions often result in engaging and entertaining TV.

While some of the episodes from the earlier seasons suffered from botched execution and some of the later season episodes suffer from focusing on ideas and characters that not too many people care about, there are still a lot of great, brilliant episodes to enjoy in the mix. The good by far outweighs the bad with every season and era of this show. As long as you can get over some of the show's recurring flaws, you'll be fine.

There are so many great episodes to enjoy here. "Space Invader", "A Tattler's Tale", "11 Louds A Leapin", "Read Aloud", "Tricked", "Middle Men", "Head Poet's Anxiety", "Friend or Faux", "Shop Girl", "Any Given Sundae", "A Dark and Story Night", "Game Off", "Singled Out", "Coupe Dreams", "The Boss Maybe", "Dream a Lily Dream", "Diss the Cook", "Sofa So Good", "Puns and Buns", "Sleepstakes", "Love Stinks", "Candy Crushed", "Doll Day Afternoon", "Can't Lynn Em All", "Dread of the Class"... these are just a selection of the many gems that can be found in this series. All of these episodes have great storytelling, solid animation, outstanding character work, good comedy, and some of them even have a few heartwarming/heartwrenching moments worked in there. In short, there are so many great episodes that demonstrate the show's ability to be fantastic when the right creative vision, passion, and input of talent is present.

It's true that this show has its flaws, I won't argue against that. But it does deserve to be seen as one of the greats of its generation of animation, warts and all. At the very least, it deserves some positive recognition for a change, as the only publicity it (or its fans get) these days seems to be negative.

Many people will say that the show's fanbase sucks, and sure, some people within it are toxic c**ts, but there are some genuinely decent people within it and some solid corners of the fanbase to interact in. I want to expand the show's following once again and fill it with people who have level-headed, rational mindsets that can engage in thoughtful, insightful, and reserved discussion.

To end this post, I'm going to bring up a philosophical point that I was once told regarding a tree. I can't remember the exact details, but I think it went along the lines that a baby tree was born with a defect that was visible and the most noticeable part of it. However, the tree then grew, and that large defect, while still present, became a smaller and smaller part of it over time.

That is what I want for both "The Loud House" and its fanbase. Defects are present, but if we can make the show and its following bigger and better, then those defects will become a smaller part of what comprises them as a whole, thus resulting in them no longer defining what they are.

If "The Loud House" is a series that interests you in any way (or if you're one of those who was into it shortly after it first came out and then lost interest in it over time), then I strongly urge you to give it another chance. It has a lot to offer as a series and at the very least, you're bound to enjoy a good chunk of it. Like I said, there are so many great characters in this show, so there are bound to be at least some of them (and thus some stories revolving around them) that you'll get into. It has its problems (the earlier seasons sometimes get a bit too mean-spirited in certain episodes and sometimes the sisters were forced to act the same, but thankfully these faults were dropped pretty early on), but the show as a whole is worth it in spite of those faults.

"The Loud House" deserves better than to just be hated and cast aside all the time.
