Not without consequences. One jester named Triboulet pissed off King Francis I and had to pick how he would be executed. He chose old age and was exiled thereafter.

The Fandom wiki was abandoned. The correct wiki now is https://balatrowiki.org/

Why don't they just delete it or at least post a message?

He could have been imprisoned for life, I think that went well.

And he did die of old age, at 56. Well, old age for the time.

It was probably a more stressful job than just being an advisor. An advisor could probably try a joke here or there if they wanted, but they weren't expected to always be making wisecracks. A jester was probably having to push the limit a lot more often and going over the line could be a problem.

Certainly a better job than 99% of the population, but one joke bombs and it could be the end.
