Lynn L. Loud Sr. is the patriarch of the eponymous family and a supporting character on The Loud House. In the show's first season, he and his wife Rita were typically only seen from the neck down, or would have their faces obstructed, the reason being to visually empower the Loud kids to solve their problems. Their faces were finally revealed in the second season premiere, "11 Louds a Leapin'", and have been shown regularly ever since.
Lynn Sr., the namesake of his fifth-oldest daughter, is stern and often has to call 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 is quite skilled at cooking, to the point that, in the show's second season, he left his original job as an information technologist to pursue his dream job of becoming a full-time chef. After working as a co-chef at the Aloha Comrade fusion restaurant, he opened his own restaurant, Lynn's Table, in the third season finale, "Cooked!" He also has a fascination with British culture and, like his only son Lincoln, is a fan of Legends of the Hidden Temple.
Biography[]

In The Loud House Movie, it is revealed that his ancestors were Scottish.

Trivia[]

- Out of his children, he's seemingly the closest to Luna (Largely due to the fact that he loves music almost as much as she does), Luan (Due to the fact that they have similar senses of humor, and it's quite likely that Luan inherited her love of puns from him), Lynn (Unsurprising, since she's named after him) and Lana (He often enlists her help in his home- improvement projects, and helps teach her more about it).
