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.
