livI've never been a huge fan of Purim and this year I really really wasn't feeling Zoom-Purim. I decided to make a token effort to dress up and go to my community's online Megillah reading anyway. I think that was the right thing to do; they made an effort to make it fun and silly, and it was nice to see a handful of kids enjoying their costumes. I think that did me more good than seeking out an extravaganza hosted by a bigger synagogue (which would have been an option; lots of communities have gone all out with their Purim celebrations this year.)
Anyway, here's some stuff that made me laugh.
A lovely and high production values parody of Zoom cheder lessons: The end of the book. (I can't find a non-Facebook version, but I think you can see this without a FB account.)

On a similar topic, Advert for hamentashen.
Not exactly Purim-related, but a funny song about a Jewish topic:
If you'd like to help me celebrate, send me something funny? Or link me a cause you'd like me to donate to?

I feel like I should include a trigger warning about their trigger warning. The video itself is Al Hanissim, sung by a variety of choirs (before or during covid) and recombined to excellent effect.
