Ryan Dunn joke was out of line

What I was saying in the other thread, is if you go that route with saying something really offensive, you better sell it and you better be funny.

The past roasts had a hilarious Gary Coleman joke after he died and everyone laughed their asses off. So now people think they could just make harsh jokes about recently deceased people to be funny. That's not clever humor to me.

I totally agree. She was the best, but that statement was out of line. I saw the look on steve-o's face and he didn't even laugh. I felt so bad for him. In a roast, when your comparing someone to someone who recentlly died, that's completely out of line. That was just a horrible thing to say. She was a complete bitch for that.

I was more offended by her forced delivery. Her jokes were hit or miss at best. A couple of them were hilarious, but most were mediocre and she came off as cocky and over-confidant.

I thought most of Amy Schumacher's stuff was the funniest of the evening--except for the Ryan Dunn joke, which was totally tactless. Never mind that Steve-O is a man who has made a career of totally embarassing and humiliating and making people feel bad so others can laugh. She was a bitch with that joke, and you could even feel the audience kind of 'catch' in shock on that one. But omit that and you have a funny routine.

I thought the joke was more a slam against Steve-O and not disrespectful of Ryan Dunn's death, but this is the kind of out of line joke that I expect on a roast. I think the legendary Gilbert Gottfried "Empire State Building" joke after 9/11 was out of line, but still very funny. From the accounts that I have read, people were gathering their belongings and preparing to leave after Gilbert told the joke.

And on that subject, I wish we could see what jokes were cut out of the show. Sometimes Comedy Central shows more material in a special repeat of the roast, or include outakes on the DVD. I think I heard very little was cut from the Bob Saget roast. That was a great roast!

To be on the dais, you need to have a thick skin. Tough way to get initiated.

Who gives a FCK about Ryan Dunn? Seriously. The stupid douchebag from Jackass? Jesus Christ, people act like a fcking Saint died.

INSIGHTFUL SAYINGS!

The Roasts are SCRIPTED AND REHEARSED. He knew what was coming and agreed to it. Are you people that dense?

Considering that people on this roast have made fun of Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and Gary Coleman shortly after their death (AKA people with an actual talent) This wasn't anything new and it wasn't crossing any line.
