What happens when the neighborhood’s least popular resident dies, the obituary barely acknowledges his life, and the family starts celebrating before the week is over?

Welcome to Season 4, Episode 98 of Welcome to the Suburbs with Andy and Greg, where suburban life continues to provide material that no comedy writer could possibly make up.

Greg takes us back to Lake James, where flashing emergency lights, a mysterious death, and a remarkably brief obituary have the neighbors talking. What begins as a story about a difficult family turns into a hilarious discussion about death, family dysfunction, funeral etiquette, and the importance of leaving behind more than “he worked at a park.”

That reminds Greg of his brother’s funeral, an ex-wife who arrived with a five-page obituary, and a funeral director faced with the literary equivalent of War and Peace.

Then the conversation shifts to another suburban battleground: lawn mowing etiquette.

How early is too early to mow? Apparently, 5:50 AM isn’t too early for one Indianapolis neighbor, who fires up an electric lawn mower to tackle a driveway made of rocks while blasting music from the garage. The spectacle is so distracting that Geoffrey, Greg’s Weimaraner, walks headfirst into a parked car.

Throw in abandoned boats, backyard barbecue operations before sunrise, a tour bus without a home, and a neighborhood that seems to be operating without adult supervision, and you’ve got another episode of suburban comedy at its finest.
