Tragicomedy in the ZDF: they say no to life

The father says at Christmas dinner: "I'm gonna kill myself." Then the son goes into the kitchen and asks: "Who wants to wave the Danube, who wants to Bee sting?"

Motto: not without my husband. Karsten, by the way, the undertaker, which expanded the Gag possibilities of this Tragikomödiantenstadels endless, it can handle just as his colleague Ellie (Maresi Riegner), and the split ends of the hearse.
