My Dad used to entertain himself by going out to the back yard, starting up the mower, and sitting to wait and to hear the neighbors coming out and mowing their lawns. Funny, I don't remember ours getting mowed.
That's hilarious. I've been a landscaper for eight years and I see this all of the time when we show up. It's like middle class boomers get reminded that appearances count for quite a bit and they feel the need to compete and come out as soon as we start up on the weekends. It's a bit cringe worthy honestly Glad your Dad did this. I would shake that man's hand and have a beer with him lol
That’s hilarious because I also do this. I have one neighbor who will mow his yard everyday if he thinks I’m mowing it. Most of the time I’m just moving my mower in or out of the shed.
Lawns in Australia have 2 stages: "Better mow that lawn before it gets too long and we get brown snakes..." "Lawns too long, I can't mow it there might be brown snakes in it..."
@@woodworkerroyer8497 I'd have liked those kinda cheap thrills but my broke ass was out here tryna survive the pandemic. $3 is like 200 bucks in my currency lmao
Then you have Myles, riding lawn mower, using every chemical known to man to dominate his neighbors with the deepest shade of green and manicured lawn.
@@PrimeReal MY neighborhood is BIG and it goes from people who run sprinklers daily and have a lawn service cut and a chem truck pull up monthly and spray. To the guy that can barely keep his lawn cut often enough to keep the HOA off his tail. Saw a lawn the other day that if it weren't for crabgrass they'd have no grass. Mine is above average but I still get weeds and clover and that's ok as long as it's green I'm good.
I remember coming home from work one day and a message on the answering machine from my little old lady neighbor “would you like to borrow my lawn mower?” - alright, I get the point. Time to mow.
Basic dad in the front, hippie out back. I spent 30 minutes this morning trying to identify a weed to decide if I could just let it take over the back yard but I keep the front yard tidy to keep the neighbors happy.
We planted clover (both white and red) as our intentional “weed” groundcover. 1. Stays short: no need to mow 2. Adds nitrogen to the soil 3. Resilient/hardy 4. Soft enough to walk on Very happy with the result 😊
@@goosebump801 Not to mention drought resistant. When it gets dry, all the people who keep their lawns nice have an ugly brown patch around their house and the lazy people who let the weeds take over have green in their yards.

@@moeharri Ah, I thought it might have been one of the states that legalized certain weeds, which would make sense for a hippie and somewhat ironic if they sold it.
My favorite job is mowing the lawn and pulling weeds. Been like that since I started doing it at 15 where I learned that I absolutely loved it. I’m now 20 and going to so start Tradeschool on landscaping. (Was a military brat, always lived in islands and neighborhoods that did the landscaping and that’s why I didn’t start lawn working till 15)
I grew up in an apartment, so everything is new to me! I live on a farm now and I looooove to mow, garden and weed. I wish I knew this earlier when I was like 30+ years younger. Best to you going to tradeschool! It's great to find a career you love, trust me!

@@Starkiller3870 Right?? My husband and I fight over who gets to cut the lawn. Our kids do the whole charade from the video when I ask them to pick up their socks. 🤔
@@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck : I'm guessing that, in reality, that was filmed at his dad and mom's house.

What about the guy who mows the yard and finds a car? There is one of those in my neighborhood. We obviously have no HOA and code-enforcement is always out on other calls.
@@DJTheMetalheadMercenary no, I mean conservative since that's culturally a conservative thing. The idea of forcing people to have cut grass lawns is an elitist thing from the 1600s for monarchs to impress others. After them using lawns, they then made their civvies also do it. If you mean your local leaders being in an independent party or not being in a party, they can be still be at least slightly conservative since someone's ideology is obviously separate from party.
The jokes in these pieces are so tight. This is great episode Modern Family tight. Perfect hits, pauses, etc... It just feels fantastic to watch. Fantastic work!
Around here we have the "One up the neighbor dad". They need a $10k 60inch wide zero turn commercial mower to cut a 10 x 10 yard while wearing matching mower branded cap and neck gaiter.
Lol here's an idea. 4 Type of Grill Guys. A couple of friends of mine have went crazy talking about grilling. Charcoal vs. Propane, Smoked Yada yada...
I’m definitely Basic Dad, even though I’m a Mom. I have all the tools: clean, well-maintained gas mower, battery operated string trimmer and blower, and a manual edger. I’m a Daddy’s Girl who loved helping him with the lawn and he taught me all I know. “Mow High, Mow Often”!
What about the old retired guy who mows every Friday and in autumn if he's sitting by his picture window runs out to pick up a single fallen leaf from his freshly raked yard.
my old man attempted to get me to mow the lawn once as a teen. I was just about to leave on an adventure with friends. So I mowed in a spiral pattern coming off each tree individually. Then when they got close to touching I did a spiral perimeter run to fill in the gaps. Then a few zig zags going across the mess. Left the mower in the middle of the yard. From then on I was banned from mowing and life was good.
Hey Hippie, why have a typically Eurasian grass lawn when you can have so many types of low-maintenance native North American plants on your property instead? Ultimate hippie status 😎✌
After my dad lost two toes to the mower and my mom had to pick them out of the grass so they could be reattached before driving him to the hospital, seeing anyone mow barefoot makes me yell uncontrollably whenever I see that happening. Even though he had shoes on, it just doesn't matter. Even if it's on TV. .. I can't stop myself from yelling at the tv.
I bought a new house in 2020 and had my first lawn. I was the up at 8am Saturday Morning to mow guy. Until June rolled around and I remembered I live in Florida where the humidity get so high it's essentially just boiling water. Now I'm the outsourcer with far less Chadwick.
Very relatable comedy. I'm currently the hippy. I own a pushy and I have cut the lawn barefoot. This will change when I get a bigger lawn. The teenager hit very close to home. I was the king of whining when I was a teenager.
Dude, that's cool and all, just either 1) watch your toes, or 2) have a blow out bag nearby. If you don't know what 2 is, then 3) enlist in the military 😁
@@MJA5 - Neat thing about pushies, the blades stop when you stop. Nearly impossible to get your toes in the blades in that scenario. With that said, I usually wear beach shoes when cutting the lawn. It only takes 10 minutes.
I grew up on a farm and I hated mowing the grass. Our f’in lawn was almost 5 acres and we had 5 buildings and the house to mow around and weed wack, a ton of walnut and apple trees , around a gravel driveway and a dirt road going back to our fields. It took an entire day, sometimes two days depending on when we started for me and my brother to mow it. One on the riding mower and one on the push mower.
My dad: - owns 2 of those mowing robots - has 4ducks that are always dtf and don't care who's watching - always has work he doesn't wanna do bc he gets distracted all the time - has children to do the work for him when they come for a visit So basically he's all 4 of those guys...
In the spring I dethatch, mow short, then after a rain, aerate, fertilize and spray some weed killer. The first few mowings are short, starting at 2 inches, working a quarter inch taller every week. By late May I am mowing my lawn on a four day cycle at 3 1/2" and bagging. In September, i fertilize, overseed, spread some topsoil/sand to level a few spots. Then before the snow hits mow it short, ugly short. Even with a dog my lawn looks and feels great. Even in July and August it is so green, soft, cushiony and cool, all without extra watering. I have a neighbor who mows every two weeks, in the heat of day, doesn't bag, rake, dethatch, fertilize or kill weeds. The grass clippings are starving out the rest of the lawn and helping the weeds to grow. But I learned how to take care of lawns as a kid, read up on it and learned to understand how grasses grow.
What about the ex-landscaper who has 3 weedeaters. One for edging, one for the front, one for the back, a 48 standup with gator blades, a backpack blower and sprayer, pallet of mulch in the garage and like 4 old push mowers he refuses to get rid of
My lawn is 7 different species of grass all mixed together and I think I'll add a new blend out back for the wild rabbits to nibble xD I care more about the trees and bushes than lawn... I only have Special treatment interest in plants that feed me!! (Or cute wild critters) Somewhere between Hippie and Teenager.
You forgot "The Tomorrow Guy." Always going to cut it tomorrow but it rains, or snows, or any number of calamites. Finally at the end of summer and after 3 feet of weed growth, the first mow of the year becomes the last mow of the year.
hippie Charlie at the end running like he shat himself/has pants full LOL.. keep er movin! me thinks that was Charlie's dad mowing the lawn in the one shot!!! hey pops!
1:54 reminds me of the time that my dad asked me to mow the lawn about a week after it was last mowed... didnt turn on the mower just ran it over to make lines "did you cut the lawn?? looks good!"
Forgot the: “I don’t mow until it needs it” guy aka 12” And the “I mow every 2 days, my grass is exactly 1 3/4” tall a beautiful perfect shade of green” guy
Don't forget about Early Ernie... Gets up at 6:00 am and starts mowing. Wakes up everybody.... and Late Larry who mows his grass at night... YES AT NIGHT.. mounted lights on the front of the lawn mower..... We have both of these guys in our neighborhood.
2:15, I am a teenager and that is not accurate at least for me and my friends. y'all mowing is so fun. I mean you can't beat it. Especially with the radio on
i asked my husband if we could keep the clover in the back and he could have the grass in the front......the clover is winning The Dry Spell Award for staying green!! Plus we have more bees and butterflies now! YAY He's fine with that too! Good for you Nebulana!
Well its possible to remove your grass covers and then get more clover seeds from their flowers! It'll still likely work if you have clay soil even lol
"Are they fighting? No, they're mating." (Puts down binoculars) "Guess I'll give them their privacy." (Starts watching them again through binoculars) . . .
I'm not on here. I don't mind the work, know how to do it, but have to do a large amount alone. This is how summer day drinking was discovered. I don't remember the day but my yard looks good.
Oh boy, u sure have the teenager down pat! My kids were exactly like that.....which I will never get.....we have a riding mower.... asking a teenager to sit and drive around seems like the perfect chore 🤔 But who can figure teenagers...
I definitely would have complained a lot less as a kid/teenager if I didn't have to be out there pushing the mower in the hot sun and got to drive it instead. You've got lucky kids!
I'm pretty sure the idea of mowing your lawn was invented by a woman who was pissed to see her husband happily going fishing and hunting in his spare time.
My Dad used to entertain himself by going out to the back yard, starting up the mower, and sitting to wait and to hear the neighbors coming out and mowing their lawns. Funny, I don't remember ours getting mowed.

Guilty as charged.😄
Ima try this and see 🤣
So thats why whenever i start mowing the lawn i hear a symphony of lawn mowers like 1 hour afterwards

The grunting teenager is so spot on!! Geez Louise - that’s EXACTLY how my 15-year-old acts when I ask him to do ANYTHING!😅
You forgot "The Tomorrow Guy." Always going to cut it tomorrow but it rains, or snows, or any number of calamites. Finally at the end of summer and after 3 feet of weed growth, the first mow of the year becomes the last mow of the year.
hippie Charlie at the end running like he shat himself/has pants full LOL.. keep er movin!
me thinks that was Charlie's dad mowing the lawn in the one shot!!! hey pops!
This is the second time I've seen a setter in your videos. I love those dogs, so much.
You forgot the "just a reason to drink" one. You know, the one that has to come back to finish 🤣
😂 The outsourcer has even outsourced holding his umbrella
Why do I feel like half of this is an ad for electric yard tools?
*starts pricing electric lawnmowers *
That stars wars lamp gave me hardcore flashbacks. It's unreal how accurate that was.
The Basic Dad would've been murdered by my mother for spitting his drink on the window. She has a very low tolerance for dirty windows on her house.
1:54 reminds me of the time that my dad asked me to mow the lawn about a week after it was last mowed... didnt turn on the mower just ran it over to make lines
"did you cut the lawn?? looks good!"
Forgot the: “I don’t mow until it needs it” guy aka 12”
And the “I mow every 2 days, my grass is exactly 1 3/4” tall a beautiful perfect shade of green” guy
😂😂😂 the “slick” part is the beeeest😂😂
Don't forget about Early Ernie... Gets up at 6:00 am and starts mowing. Wakes up everybody.... and Late Larry who mows his grass at night... YES AT NIGHT.. mounted lights on the front of the lawn mower..... We have both of these guys in our neighborhood.
2:15, I am a teenager and that is not accurate at least for me and my friends. y'all mowing is so fun. I mean you can't beat it. Especially with the radio on
amused myself yesterday watching the neighbor behind us desperately trying to mow before the thunderstorm rolled in
"are they fighting? Oh no, they're mating" - yeah that's squirrels all the time.
"That's like a 3 dollar sniff" hahaha. Also I'm totally a hippie when it comes to lawns. I hate mowing because the bees like the clover. :(
@Your Nightmares Come True I tried, and there are taller weeds that pop up in it unfortunately.
i asked my husband if we could keep the clover in the back and he could have the grass in the front......the clover is winning The Dry Spell Award for staying green!! Plus we have more bees and butterflies now! YAY He's fine with that too! Good for you Nebulana!
Well its possible to remove your grass covers and then get more clover seeds from their flowers! It'll still likely work if you have clay soil even lol
I love how you incorporate your dad. I bet he does too! 😂
"Are they fighting? No, they're mating." (Puts down binoculars) "Guess I'll give them their privacy." (Starts watching them again through binoculars) . . .
Dude! You are hilarious!!!! Great content. New subscriber kinda watching all your videos this AM. HAHAHA what a way to start thanksgiving.
HEY DORY ITS MOWING SEASON 😂
you can't fake that kind of excitement
Living with a hippy while wanting straight lines, hedges and edges. The only agreement was to keep the compost pile behind the shed.
I'm not on here. I don't mind the work, know how to do it, but have to do a large amount alone. This is how summer day drinking was discovered. I don't remember the day but my yard looks good.
Oh boy, u sure have the teenager down pat! My kids were exactly like that.....which I will never get.....we have a riding mower.... asking a teenager to sit and drive around seems like the perfect chore 🤔 But who can figure teenagers...
I definitely would have complained a lot less as a kid/teenager if I didn't have to be out there pushing the mower in the hot sun and got to drive it instead. You've got lucky kids!
0:16 i would be like get tf off my fence lmao 😂
I can confirm that those electric mowers are, in fact, slick.
imagine not having your entire lawn be replaced by AstroTurf
I'm pretty sure the idea of mowing your lawn was invented by a woman who was pissed to see her husband happily going fishing and hunting in his spare time.
That last retreat killed me 😆
You both are so good at intertanment people I just wanted you guys to know that
