Notebook: This was a pretty clever line. But you butchered the wording on every count. Your lines don't even rhyme. The punchline is way too wordy. And the phrasing is awkward in the setup. Strip this down to something like this:

You're trying to touch the crown, but now you'll get foiled, C.
Donald Glover playlists are the only time Camp comes next to Royalty.

That would probably have won this battle. I'm not great at wording battle lines for harshness, but at least it's your clever concept with a solid end rhyme and concise phrasing.

Camp Bell: Your line wasn't as interesting or creative, but you worded it better. I wish endangering trees had been turned into a bad thing for a person to do, rather than simply a writeoff of irrelevance. Maybe if you had set it up as being that he never gets the blunt passed to him or something like that. I don't know. But you won here because your wording and rhyming was so superior.

Vote: Camp Bell
