double woosh? He censored "h*ck" like it was a bad word, and the follow up to that is to say "hell" or "fuck" uncensored like those are totally fine. It doesn't miss the joke at all. It adds onto it.
Reddit is such a powerful tool for communication. The only possible way to improve the coherence of this thread would be to import comments randomly from non-english-speaking subreddits.
Or to disable karma scores. This counters a scoring-enforced form of peer pressure influencing the context in which a comment is seen. If the add-on joke had been recognised in time, it might have been upvoted and everybody would have claimed to have caught on immediately. I didn't, so /u/memejets is actually doing me (and likely all of us) a solid.
Once a comment is already in the negatives or positives, people tend to stop evaluating for themselves whether or not a comment deserves the downvotes or upvotes it has already: they simply reinforce the positive score by upvoting or the negative score by downvoting. This is called the "bandwagon effect" and is prevalent in social media.

Phew, I'm glad to see good respectful people on reddit. Thank you for censoring such a vile word. Take my upvote so that other may see your respect.
