"THIS IS FUNNY! POKING FUN AT HADES IS A GOOD TACT TO TAKE, SINCE HE'S SUCH A FORMIDABLE FIGURE IN MY IMAGINATION, SO UNDERMINING THAT WORKS FOR ME. MY CRITIQUE IS THAT LEAVING THE THRONE AND LEAVING THE UNDERWORLD ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THINGS, SO WHILE YES HE NEEDS TO LEAVE THE THRONE IN ORDER TO LEAVE THE UNDERWORLD, THE PROMPT DOESN'T SET UP THE IDEA THAT HE'S SITTING ON HIS THRONE ALL DAY, WHICH IN TURN MAKES THIS RESPONSE SLIGHTLY LESS CLEVER AND FUNNY."

I THINK TRYING TO GO FOR OVERT SOCIAL COMMENTARY IN THESE JOKES WAS PROBABLY NOT THE WAY TO GO FOR MY PERSONAL SENSE OF HUMOR, SINCE THIS JOKE KIND OF MAKES ME A BIT MORE SAD AND THOUGHTFUL THAN IT DOES MAKE ME LAUGH.

PHRASES SUCH AS "6 OTHER DAMNED SOULS" AND "FORCED TO UNDERGO A PROCESS" ARE ESSENTIALLY WASTED WORDS IN THIS DRAFT OF THE JOKE. IT'S A FUNNY IDEA (IF MAYBE A BIT OBVIOUS), BUT I THINK IT'D BE STRONGER IF YOU DESCRIBED WHAT WAS SO TERRIBLE ABOUT ATTENDING TRIBAL COUNCIL. SO FOR EXAMPLE, MAYBE YOUR JOKE COULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT BEING FORCED TO INFINITELY REFRESH AN INTERNET FORUM WAITING FOR MODS TO POST TRIBAL COUNCIL RESULTS. THAT'S JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD AND YOU COULD PROBABLY DO BETTER, BUT MORE SPECIFICITY AND FEWER WASTED WORDS WOULD HAVE BEEN WHAT YOU NEEDED TO GET MY 5."

KRONOS IS A TITAN, BUT HOW IS HE BEING INTRODUCED IF WE ALREADY KNOW HIM? I GUESS HE'S INTRODUCED TO MOUNT OLYMPUS? AND THEN THE "TURNING BACK TIME TO WHEN PEOPLE STILL CARED ABOUT US"...I GUESS YOU'RE SAYING THAT IN MODERN TIMES THE OLYMPIANS ARE NO LONGER WORSHIPPED, SO THEY'RE INVITING A TITAN BACK IN ORDER TO TURN BACK TIME AND BECOME RELEVANT AGAIN? I GUESS THE IDEA OF THAT IS MILDLY FUNNY, BUT THIS JOKE IS JUST TOO COMPLICATED AND DOESN'T REALLY RESPOND TO THE PROMPT, SINCE THIS ISN'T EXACTLY AN ADAPTATION TO MODERN TIMES? I ALSO FIND THE USE OF THE FIRST-PERSON PLURAL "US" AT THE END OF THIS JOKE OFF-PUTTING, SINCE WHY WOULD THE OLYMPIANS USE THAT IN THE NAME OF THEIR GOD? OVERALL, I DO THINK THERE MAY BE A SEED OF A FUNNY IDEA HERE, BUT IT IS NOT CLEARLY STATED IN THE JOKE IN ITS CURRENT FORM."

"Not bad, but also not special."
"HA, I LIKE THIS JOKE. NICE BIT OF WORDPLAY WITH THE WORD "STIFF". I THINK THE BIGGEST DRAWBACK TO THE JOKE IS THAT YOU HAD TO INCLUDE THE FACT THAT IT WAS HADES SPEAKING AT THE END INSTEAD OF FINDING A WAY TO WORK IT INTO THE JOKE ITSELF, WHICH MEANS THAT I MUST GET TO THE END OF THE JOKE AND THEN THINK ABOUT WHAT I'VE JUST READ FOR A SECOND INSTEAD OF THE PUNCHLINE OF THE JOKE COMING AT THE END. USUALLY THE INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE JOKE SHOULD BE SET UP FIRST FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT. I THINK THIS PROBABLY COULD HAVE BEEN REWORDED TO BE FUNNIER.
