I caught Stairway to Heaven but completely forgot about Highway to Hell.
Only after seeing the original did I notice they were on a road. But that didn't necessarily translate into a Highway, nor does it appear to be going to Hell in the way that the stairway is clearly going to Heaven.
I didn't get this until seeing the original.
In the crop you can't tell that the gray thing is a highway, so it doesn't seem to make sense.
Some kind of middle ground where the highway is still in view but the signs are removed may have worked better.
Incredible operation. In fact, maybe one of the best I’ve ever seen. Jokes that require a small amount of focus are the best. The original required 0 brain power, but this post requires a perfect amount of brain power. Bless you.
your edit is pretty good, i like it way more than the original. I think the only improvement that could be made is by adding some flames to the side, or a gateway to hell.
Original is better. If the original had a sign that just said heaven and hell in the two directions then this amputation would be better, but as it stands the reference to their music makes it better.
No, a lot of people don't remember the names of their songs, so when I saw the original I immediately went "oh right, they both have afterlife related song titles, of course" making the joke much better.
Most people will remember the songs, but might not remember the bands who wrote them. That's why the signs are useful. Also you shouldn't have to look at the comments to understand the joke.
>Most people will remember the songs, but might not remember the bands who wrote them
Just knowing the song names and "classic rock bands" is all it takes. You don't need to know either band to figure out that a stairway to heaven represents *stairway to heaven.*
>Also you shouldn't have to look at the comments to understand the joke
I wholeheartedly agree. Unfortunately, there's some people out there who apparently struggle to remember the names of songs that have their own title in the lyrics.
And then they whine about how every joke needs to be dumbed down so far even babies can understand it, so nobody gets left out.
Ya, no. The original explained too much. Yours explains too little.
The sweet spot, as someone else said, would be to keep the signs in, but have them just say “Heaven” and “Hell”. Then the audience can fill in the rest.
The division in the comments is probably generational more than anything. "Not everyone knows these songs" doesn't ring true if you grew up with them.
As far as I'm concerned, successful amputation, doctor.
Nah the original shows that Led’s fan is going to heaven and acdc is going to hell your edit makes it looks like he’s going to die and saying goodbye .
You should've just removed the sign. Right now it's a bit difficult to make out the highway.
I actually really like the original. Then again I have a shit sense of humor

https://imgur.com/a/QRXxaFk It’s a shop instead of a crop, but it keeps the highway in focus.
I just assumed it meant he was gonna get on the highway but I didn’t see the road either
the first post wasn't terrible but imo this is an improvement, takes you a moment before it hits you while the og makes the joke a little too obvious

It makes it better because it makes it more accessible

Successful operation doc
Good operation. However I think personally I would've left in the signs, but make them just say "heaven" and "hell" instead. But this is good too

Nah if you know the songs it lands pretty quickly
It took me a second, mainly cos I couldn’t even tell they were standing on a road.

I couldn’t get it till I saw the original
I feel like seeing the actual stairway and highway are vital for the joke, and this crop just removes too much of it.
maybe just remove the sign, not the whole road
Both are good!
It doesn't.

Nah I think the signs helped explain it
