Happy Purim to all my Jewish readers!
Some 20 years ago, a friend of mine who runs Shmais.com used to do a fantastic Purim shpiel section that I loved, but as with any joke post there will be people that love it and people that hate it. Feel free to skip this if you’re just looking for deals 🙂
I started blogging in 2004 and over the years people have sent me random DansDeals references that have made their way into Jewish media and social media.
I’ve compiled some of them here for your Purim enjoyment at my expense.

Apparently I’m now the mayor of Lakewood, NJ:
He's been mayor of Lakewood for less than a week, and he's already made drastic changes. @DansDeals founder has some of the most innovative ideas in politics, and he's rolling them out in #lAAkewood.

And on the Lakewood, NJ school district payroll:
And featured in help columns:
Or as what you want to be when you grow up:
I apologize in advance to the martians:
If martians landed in the Orthodox community, I'm pretty sure they'd think @DansDeals was the Gadol HaDor.

Ah the seminar days…
Wasn't there, but I've been told @DansDeals 5 towns seminar had a bigger turnout than most Shabbos Shuva drashos. #KiddushHashem #MQM

Then there was the 3 minute column…
I guess DansDeals has made it if it’s now a Shaloch Manos theme 😉
And a Dan impersonator:
One DDF member’s wife even made him a DansDeals birthday cake:
Over the years I’ve seen some DansDeals mentions in Jewish music videos.

But this video by the Baltimore’s Choir to Inspire definitely takes the cake. I don’t really have the words to properly convey my thoughts here…but the kids did a great job. My son Rafi giggled hysterically when I showed him the video but he said they lied about one part. He said that really he’s my biggest fan 😀
I will say this much though, maybe they should have cast Benny Friedman as me?
A happy, healthy, and safe Purim to everyone!
Happy Purim! Your the best! Thank you for everything.
*you’re
A freilichin Purim
Seriuosly?!?!
You have a mommy/coupon blog and your making yourself out to be some sort of cultish messiah?! Then what are all the rest of the mommy/coupon blogs?
Get real, and keep doing what you do best and post deals and coupons.
Happy Purim to you.
I think you’re taking this a bit too seriously 😉
Can we get a like button on DD
No a dislike button. For the above “mommy blog” comment – I actually thought Dan was a guy, but now it seems he’s a gal (“mommy”) . Get a life people and have some fun.
Really??
I was able to give more matanos lievyonim because of Dan’s deals!
lol!!!!! i enjoyed this post, but apparently you need to drink a bit more… except that you’re probably one of those depressed drunks…
While I am at it, can someone be yotzei by transferring UR points?
No, only Marriot Bonvoy
Dan worked hard to get where he is. It’s Purim, be happy that another Jew is successful!
Lol. Ever heard of ddf? This blog has a massive following that contribute material on a huge forums called ddf. There is a wealth of information on there.
Stop by for a visit, and you’ll learn that this blog isn’t a mommy coupon place.
Get real…you don’t know about Dan MHM! 😉
Now THAT’S taking things a little too far, lol!
ditto…its a cute post.
Great call with Beni Friedman 🙂
lol
Mmm…Purim sticks (drool)

Wishing all of you a freilichen Purim and wishing that we could celebrate Shushan Purim in Yerushalayim. I”YH next year and get all the great dandeals there
If there is a video attached I did not see it so you may want to hold off for a sticky comment
Thank you dan for all that you do. I really enjoy your site. Happy Purim!
The story with Benny Friedman was classic.
Thanx for all the savings Dan. Keep up the great work.
My first cup of coffee and a quick check of Dansdeals every morning! I’m addicted to both!
totally!
You also made it into the Yated’s Purim parody news, in the Lakewood section.
True this. Pretty funny piece, actually
Link?
Or email it to me?
Dan all your YouTube links are not working on a mobile phone.
Got it to work after clearing cache.
שמחחת פוררים
Obvious oversight….

Great laugh, and great read, plus well written, as always. Thank you to Dan and his team. Have a Happy Holiday to all!
You are too good of a person (and a mentch) to be mayor of Lakewood, with all their issues, problems, and Chillul Hashems. Purim Parody or not.
Love the Benny Friedman story
Dan. Bentch you for the millions you’ve gained for klal yisroel
Ata pashut gadol, Dan. Gadol. Ayin alecha chabbi. Kappara ! Tamshich la’asot chayil
