Bud Grouse (more commonly referred to as Mr. Grouse) is the Loud family's elderly, curmudgeonly next-door neighbor on The Loud House. As his surname would suggest, he is often annoyed by the noisy antics of the Louds, and sometimes appears to heckle them. As annoying as he finds the Louds to be, though, he is willing to do favors for the family in exchange for Lynn Sr.'s homemade lasagna.

He’s the grouchy next-door neighbor of the Loud family and he seems to get along well with them. After "11 Louds a Leapin'", he and Lincoln became friends. Like the Louds, he also has a big family, but lives alone, far from them. He first appears in the episode "Chore and Peace", but his name wasn't revealed until "A Tattler's Tale". Not much is known about his past, but it’s revealed that when he was a child, his hair was brown and he still wore glasses. In the episode "Lock 'n' Loud", it’s revealed that he's allergic to walnuts. In "A Bug's Strife", Lynn Sr. once gave him a spare key for the Loud House in case there was an emergency. Not wanting the responsibility, Mr. Grouse snuck into the house to return the key while the Louds were out and enjoy a few trays of Lynn-sagna.

Bud Grouse is the typical grouchy old man of the neighborhood. He doesn't like to see objects from the other neighbors in his yard, so he decides to keep them in his house and doesn't give them back. He can get upset by the Louds' constant noise and messes, and is frequently on a last-name basis with them. He’s usually unhelpful when the Louds ask him for a favor. He agrees to help only when he gets food in return like Lynn-sagna or muffins. It appears that whenever the Louds (possibly anyone) involve him in a plan, he'd usually explain the plan out when something goes wrong, as seen in "Lock 'n' Loud", when he said next time if he was going to pretend to be robbed, the muffins shouldn’t have been walnuts and in "Garage Banned", he also accidentally said that he crashed into his own garage instead of the Louds' garage. Despite his grouchiness, it was shown that in "11 Louds a Leapin'" that he can be sincere and kind to others and that his grumpiness might stem from envy toward the Loud family, due to him not being able to visit his own family, which is just as big as the Loud family. In "Time Trap", It's likely Mr. Grouse became more grumpy when Rita and Lynn Sr. started having kids. Although Mr. Grouse is somewhat persnickety, he's not completely above sloppiness as revealed in "Eye Can't", his car's glove compartment is full of chicken bones which he chews on to get the last of the meat off at stoplights. "Spelling and Doorbelling" also reveals that despite his grumpy personality, he can occasionally be a prankster and has been working with Luan ever since she pranked him with whipped cream in the mailbox ten years prior.

Bud Grouse is a heavy elderly man. He doesn't have hair (except for the two hair strands that he has on his head), he also has a white mustache. He wears a white shirt under a black waistcoat, a blue necktie with dark lines, brown pants and dark brown shoes. He also has a golden pocket watch in his waistcoat's right pocket and a pair of little glasses.
