Sorry, but I disagree with the caption. I didn’t find it the least bit funny.
To No. 1
I respectfully disagree…In contrast to some of the other “purim spiels” highlighted here on YWN, this strikes me the type of “family friendly”, non-disparaging and good taste spiel that is in the true spirit of Purim. This is in contrast to the ugly and hateful parades of children with costumes as chayalim from the IDF with pig’s faces or a flatbed truck driving around Lakewood with a port-a-john in the back encouraging pedestrians to come on board and make the baracha of “asher yatzar”, a spiel that I personally take as ridiculing the wonderful work done by Chabad mitzvah mobiles, encouraging passers-by to put on teffilin, sit in succah and make hamotzi, or make the baracha over lulav/esrog. We can have fun without subjecting others to disparagement, hate or ridicule.
Even in Adar, somethings should still retain their kedusha. Totally not funny at all.
