everybody sure didnt, considering people have been saying the comment was offensive to Dunn's memory, nothing about Steve-O

She didn't cross a line. There is no crossing a line at these roasts. There is no line, period.

Did you hear the jokes Gilbert Gottfried made about Robin Quivers being molested by her father at the Joan Rivers roast? There are no boundaries at these roasts.

I agree with you Dave. I think a lot of people who actually thought that bitch was funny their heart obviously looks like a lump of coal. Her delivery sucked and she's a nobody. She was just trying to be edgy and controversial for the sake of doing it since no one really cared who the f!ck she was. Nobody still cares and she still sucks. No wonder she was the 4th runner up on last comic standing. She had to go on a reality show to make it big. And she was trying to be "the joke of the night" on this and it didn't work. She's a terrible comedienne and just doesn't have the spark that Jeff Ross and Lisa L has to be relevant.

"She's a terrible comedienne and just doesn't have the spark that Jeff Ross and Lisa L has to be relevant."

Comedy central roast of Pam Anderson 2005...Jeff Ross who? And Lisa what?

Lisa started in 2002 with the Chevy Chase's Roast and Jeff in 2005 with Pamela's...these guys are more of a house hold name NOW, and in relatively short amount of time...this is NO different.

Amy Schumer's jokes were not only in line with the bar set by Jeff Ross himself, but she followed in the foul mouth shoes of Lisa. YOU people are acting like when Marilyn Manson came on the scene and parents were outraged until they realized he's doing the same "shocking" things that Alice Cooper had done years before ...Fake outrage..It’s what the kids are into today.

Truth, all the world’s a stage-TruthinessInc

[–] nostairwaydenied 13 years ago

She'll never be as good as Lisa. Just because your nose is so far up Amy's ass doesn't mean she was a better replacement. Ross and Lisa are the best at it. Everybody else is open-mic night wannabes, except John Lovitz and Greg Geraldo.

Yea, I called him an idiot. Because apparently he is one.

The joke wasn't funny to begin with so there was no need to even say it. It's not like there isn't plenty of other stuff to rag on Steve-O about. So either, A. she knew it would get her some shock attention, or B. she's just not funny. Either way ends up with her sucking.

But he's right, it is a roast. Going into it the person knows they're going to get ragged on, and the majority of the time it's in vile fashion. But in the end the jokes are told from a place of love or respect. That joke wasn't told from either, it was just plain hateful. Not to mention Steve-O wasn't even the one who was supposed to bear the full brunt of the roasting. So that's where I draw the line...and judging by the reaction to it a lot of other people did too.

Plus I would have called him an idiot anyways because he has 'disappear' spelled wrong in his signature.

I didn't think the joke was funny but I have no problem with her telling the joke. Roasts are supposed to be vicious and if someone can't handle it than maybe they shouldn't be on the stage.

[–] acdcrocks1980 13 years ago

How would Jon Lovitz handle a joke about Chris Farley dying? Probably not very well, and that was 15 years ago. She crossed the line

reply

[–] mccallum_kelly 13 years ago

I think the issue wasn't that they made a joke about Ryan Dunn dying, but she said that he should of died instead. That's kind of harsh...

But yeah, it's a Roast so...

Also, I think a lot of people didn't find it funny because it was clear the no-name roaster was just trying to be as controversial as possible because she the was no-name. It was less about making a funny joke and more about trying to outdo everyone else.

reply

[–] jabberttp 13 years ago

No-name? I'd never heard of Amy Shumer, Steve-O, nor Ryan Dunn. To me, they all were no-names.

reply

[–] Superunknovvn 13 years ago

two things about that:

a)amy schumer made one acclaimed comedy album this year, so she's not really a no-name.

b) jeffrey ross mentioned that her boyfriend (who's name actually escapes me) was the new greg giraldo. and finished by saying: "let's hope so." wishing someone death seems pretty normal at these roasts.

i still find it unsurpassed in ballsiness, when jeff ross told courntey love at pamela anderson's roast, that she looks worse than kurt cobain... now.

[–] LilDP 13 years ago

I think you need to reexamine what a roast is. A roast is a group of friends making fun of a person they respect. That was not a respectful joke, nor did that lady respect him. It was meant to be "all in good fun" but how are you gonna laugh at a joke made by someone you don't know. Who was she anyways?

reply

[–] mccallum_kelly 13 years ago

Since you dont seem to have an issue with copy and pasting your responses, I won't either..

I think you're missing the fact that Steve-O did handle it. He didn't cry or get mad. He just made a face. And I'm sure not everyone who's ever been roasted has been 100% cool with every joke made about them at a Roast. Steve-O's reaction is no different then anyone else from Comedy Central's Roast or Dean Martin's when a really distasteful joke got thrown at them. He was a good sport.

The only people who are complaining are posters on IMDB. Which is a discussion forum.

So yeah, you might want to calm down before you blow a gasket.

reply

Perhaps. But unfortunately, Steve was on the receiving end of that joke, not Ryan. So I have to agree with the finger-wavers here that that one was harsh even for the usual batch of "too soon" jokes. And it doesn't help that it wasn't funny/clever either.

reply

[–] justcallmedave 13 years ago

I think there are a lot of factors that go in to this..

the biggest one for me being that Steve-O didn't belong on that stage to begin with..

i was listening to Steve-O on Howard Stern a little while ago.. he did this great interview about things he's gone through.. the major dark period.. and its all really interesting.. by the end of the interview.. he tries to cut his forehead with a broken bottle .. Howard Stern and Robyn keep telling him to stop and had to get security to come in so Steve-O got the point.. they kept telling him that he didn't need to do those kinds of things to be interesting..

so when i saw steve-o tonight.. i was actually really interested in hearing how he spoke.. i expected him to be different..

he walks up to the mic.. and u see him take a big deep breathe before he starts speaking because he's nervous.. and he did ok.. he wasnt hilarious.. but it was cool.. and then he finishes off with a stupid stunt.. running in to Mike Tyson's fist..

point is that Steve-O wasn't confident enough with himself in the first place to actually be on that stage.. on top of his own insecurities and having a past suicide attempt.. he also had the gaping Ryan Dunn wound..

Now I'll say this.. i also thought that the Greg Giraldo joke was out of line.. but the difference there was that Jeff Ross (i think made the joke).. was (probably) a friend of Giraldo's.. and no one even knew who that guy was.. the blonde hair guy.. so no one really gives a *beep* what was said about him..

but Steve-O we all know and have laughed with before..

The Amy Winehouse joke we are able to deal with because anyone that it would offend was off-screen and we didn't have to deal with it with our own eyes and ears...

The Greg Giraldo and Amy Winehouse jokes were definitely out of line.. you don't speak ill of the dead.. but.. you don't wish death on someone either when there is a real death being reference.. i don't care how twisted youre sense of humor is.. you can have a twisted sense of humor and still be tasteful..

i really think that everyone went way too far on this roast.. my favorite person up there was Patrice O'Neil.. flat out telling everyone "youre all a bunch of *beep* and they are just mean people.. because really.. this wasn't a roast like lets all make fun of each other..

this was people just being mean for the sake of making a name for themselves on a very popular TV special.. and i'm talking mostly about the No-Names.. and Seth Macfarlane

reply

[–] woodntuliketoknow 13 years ago

in the pamela anderson roast jeffrey ross said to courtney love that she looks worse that kurt cobain does, is that any worse than what was said about steve-o in regards to ryan dunn

reply

[–] justcallmedave 13 years ago

nope.. just as bad..

reply

[–] bobdude25 13 years ago

How was the Steve-O/Ryan Dunn joke all that bad? She didn't make fun of Dunn, she just said she wished it was Steve-O instead. It was a joke...nothing serious. Just words with no true feelings behind it.

Making fun of someone for being fat or ugly is worse because you obviously need to think that stuff about the person to say it. Saying you wish someone was dead was just baseless, therefore there is nothing personal about it. It was just shock comedy.

reply

[–] justcallmedave 13 years ago

because Steve-O has been suicidal in the past.. and for someone that's been suicidal.. or who knows.. currently is.. they really do feel like it should have been them instead of their friend..

reply

[–] woodntuliketoknow 13 years ago

aww poor steve-o

does anyone think as to why hes like this.

Heres a guy who dedicated much of his life making ajn ass of himeself and then hes sad because hes now portrayed as an idiot who will do anything for a cheap laugh.

Steve-o is a joke so someone making a joke about saying it should have been steve-o not ryan dunn who shoulda died isnt all that bad.

And hes been suicidal who gives a s*** he was prob doing that to get attention, clearly thats a generalization but wouldnt shock me

reply

[–] abrcftch691 13 years ago

Anyone who takes anything serious on a roast is nothing more than a vagina. It happens, people get made fun of, comedians take stabs at others... Steve-O didn't belong on that stage to begin with. Sure, his friend just died, and if he is in too fragile a state to take a joke, he should have known better than to show up at a roast. Greg Giraldo had only been dead a short time when the Trump roast rolled around. Dunn, and Giraldo, lived to make others laugh (as does Steve-O). Amy Schumer obviously doesn't want Steve-O dead. IT WAS A JOKE. So in a way, Dunn and Giraldo are living on through these moments...

That moment is what a roast is all about; that's what happens. Things get said that in typical conversation would be considered WAY out of line and harsh. But you have to remember that those roasts aren't your typical stand-up shows. If you didn't find her funny, that's cool. But to call it inappropriate for the occasion, that's wrong, because at a roast there is no line and nothing is off limits.

And I'd like to point out that the "tears" you people keep referencing in Steve-O's eyes were there all night. Perhaps he was having some "allergy" issues from all the coke he hadn't done in three years.

reply

[–] justcallmedave 13 years ago

comedy is all about timing.. and that timing extends out further than just the speaker's phrasing..

that timing is also in reference to to the subject matter of the time.. right place but wrong time..

reply

[–] abrcftch691 13 years ago

I disagree... at a roast, the only timing anyone should be worried about is delivery.

reply

[–] lanceroline-1 13 years ago

Sorry but it's a roast. Thats the point. If you got offended by that don't watch because its obviously not for you. Thats what happens at roasts. If Steve-O got upset then he shouldn't have gone. I know people are going to say, "oh saying that its a roast is a cheap cop out", but sorry thats the deal. If you are in any way easily offended or are going to potentially take any joke they say there personal, your better off not watching. Regardless of whether the joke was funny or not. It was a joke at a roast.

reply

[–] justcallmedave 13 years ago

personally.. i get that its a roast.. and its going to be mean.. but these comedians weren't even trying to be smart about their insults.. jon lovitz did.. thats about it.. everyone else was just viscous because they wanted to be the comedian to come out on top cause they knew the audience size this thing would carry..

again.. like a said.. patrice o'neil said it best.. he's up there dying of diabetes.. and the only thing the other comedians would say is "good.. die you evil *beep*

it wasn't a roast.. it was just a hateful hour .. for the sake of ratings.. comedy at its worst..

why is it being disrearded that steve-o was/is suicidal..

i'm not saying the whole thing was too far past the line.. even though a lot of it was.. but with Dean's or Friar's roast.. it's probably the same thing.. some jokes just went too far.. and i'm sure people thought so..

I'm not attacking the whole roast genre.. i'm saying i had higher expectations to be a little smarter in their writing..

reply

[–] Frequency270 13 years ago

Agree...closeness of the person that you died to at the receiving end of the joke. How far from time of death. You don't see too many Auschwitz jokes, at least not in the readily accessible public forum, and that was over 70 years ago. The Winehouse and Giraldo jokes came off better because fewer people are directly emotionally invested in them, especially not in the audience, and they were delivered with a quick roll, whereas the Ryan Dunn joke was a very direct stab, with a moment to contemplate.

Any case, I'm not as upset as some of these other posters. She is learning her skills, and still developing. My reaction to her was similar to Patrice O'Neal's--a sort of who are you and what sort of satan spawn are you (but I do mean 'satan spawn' in the most endearing manner)?

Hoping the universe had taken Steve-o instead of Dunn...

You sign up to be on a roast...or sit in the audience...hell, if you drive by the building it's open season!

I'm saying that comedy has gone to a point where its ok to just be an *beep* and then youre considered funny..

to me.. this type of comedy is one step up above tying someone to a wall and screaming *beep* you in their faces while everyone laughs at them..

[–] bartlett247plus 13 years ago

I thought the joke was funny as hell. All bets are off at a roast. I don't want to throw Steve O under a bus since I haven't seen any statements from him, just the sad look. So it may just be internet users crying over this.

The fact of the matter is Comedy Central made Schumer look bad in this case. Steve O had a joke that was even less PC that was cut out. He said something along the lines of, the last time this many nobodys got roasted, Great White was playing.

Comedy Central pulled it from the roast and Steve O apologized for it. The whole thing would be non news if not for people bitching about Schumer's joke, but not that many are talking about the night club joke. So Comedy Central has Steve O looking all sad with his inappropriate *beep* pulled out. He comes off like a victim and Schumer looks like a bitch.

Comedy Central should just release the roasts to DVD uncensored. Having them all cut up on TV is stupid. If they still do that secret stash thing late at night, they could show it there.
