Trivia
- Lynn Sr.'s entire face was never shown during the first season. His face was revealed along with Rita's face in the Season 2 premiere, "11 Louds a Leapin'".
- This seems to be parodied at the beginning of "Suite and Sour", as the first few seconds of the episode keep their faces hidden, as if their reveal never happened, only to show them afterwards.
- He was the main antagonist in some episodes such as "Lock 'n' Loud", "Anti-Social", and "House Flip".
- 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).
- He is the first character in the series, apart from Lincoln, to speak to the audience. This instance occurred at the end of "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House".
- His personality is very similar to that of Tom Harper from Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, as well as Harold Buttowski from Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil, who are also father characters played by Brian Stepanek, David Read from Arthur and Tom Baker from the Cheaper by the Dozen films.
- Lynn Sr. shares some similarities to Vito Corleone from The Godfather:
- Both have short tempered and aggressive children (Lynn Sr.: Lori, Lynn and Lola, Vito: Sonny).
- Both are loving fathers and family oriented.
- Both have family members who are musicians (Luna Loud in Lynn Sr.'s case, Johnny Fontane in Vito's case).
- However, unlike Vito Corleone, Lynn Sr. is neither a criminal nor is he a crime boss.
- It is revealed in "House Music" that he used to be in a band, but got kicked out due to playing his cowbell too much, even when they were not practicing.
- According to "The Loudest Yard", he used to breakdance.
- In "April Fools Rules", his eyes and nose are visible throughout the entire segment.
- Of the two Loud parents, he has made the most appearances.
- According to "The Price of Admisson", he's afraid of horror movies. Along the same lines, in the Halloween special, 'Tricked,' it's revealed that he hates Halloween due to how scary it can be for him.
- Lynn Sr. is the first supporting character to get a segment centered entirely around him.
- There are episodes that reveal the Loud sisters inherited some of Lynn Sr.'s habits.
- He has a love of cooking and is quite good at it, eventually quitting his office job to become a restaurant chef.
- He has a large collection of neckties, with a particular love of ugly and/ or tacky ones.
- He and Rita are the main antagonists in some episodes, such as "Cover Girls", "Suite and Sour", "Yes Man", and "House Flip".
- Lynn Sr. are also main antagonist in some episodes, such as "Lock 'n' Loud" and "Anti-Social".
