Remember that book, everything I need to know in life I learned in Kindergarten? Well, the Burbs is just like that.

One of the things I learned from the Burbs is if I can't get along with people and pleasant conversation doesn't help, I should break into their house and burn it down while they're gone for the day. I'm sure that there are other life lessons in the movie that others have taken to heart.
 
if i ever hear creepy sounds from my neighbours basement, it's probably their brother-doc and his horse.

never back up slowly in my own garden, it will result in stepping in dogshit.

we do not steal from our neighbours house (even if it'll end up in a fleamarket anyway)
 
A few leaves in the brownies add a little nutrition.

Dog food IS edible, when chased down with coffee.

Invite yourselves over. If your neighbors forget to invite you in, just scurry in past them.

Packing dust can make you cough like an elephant.(did anyone notice this? When Ray is gagging and blowing his nose, it sounds exactly like an elephant.)

LOL!!! Yeah hahahaha

Whever you get chance, you should attempt to throw scalding-hot coffee in the face of your paperboy. (Justice on Ray he spilt his on his leg at the Klopeks?)

When foreigners move into your street...they should be watched.

 
pretty ladies can walk almost naked around.

rummaging through your neighbour's garbage is alright as long as your taxes pay your garbies' salury

neighbours who dont use their headlights on cars - are evil.
 
It's OK to climb over your neighbor's fence as long as you cut the power wires to their house first.

Tanning is what you make it (Bonnie - no tan lines, Hans - no tan)

In case of bees, always run to water.
 
There are so many great threads here that go back years, so from time to time I'm gonna revive one so that all the new neighbors can appreciate it and perhaps add their own new stuff. So with that in mind...something I learned from The Burbs:

The best treatment for a nervous breakdown is sipping orange juice very slowly.
 
LOL some of these are pretty great :D

I learned that...

It's ok to serve Sardines and pretzels when you have guests.
