Clyde McBride

Clyde McBride is one of the main characters from the Nickelodeon animated series . He is a nerdy, intelligent 11-year-old African-American boy who is the only child of his same-sex parents, Howard and Harold McBride. Clyde is Lincoln Loud's best friend and shares a lot of the same interests as him, such as video games and science fiction movies. He also harbors an unrequited crush on Lincoln's oldest sister, Lori, to the point that he acts like a malfunctioning robot or faints whenever he's around her.

Clyde is confirmed to have a major role in the series' Christmas episode, "11 Louds a Leapin'".
