    Oh, yeah. I know it's a roast, but Jesus. I would never have the balls to say something like that.

    Might have been the only joke all night that no one laughed at.

    Jesus, Jews, Muslims, Black people.

    And yet the joke about some guy who would have been charged with vehicular homicide had he not killed himself and another person with flagrantly dangerous behavior is the one people cringed at?

    God save us.

    Maybe it's because the guy just died a little while ago?

    Lampanelli live-tweeted the roast. Holy sh*t...

    "I love Steve-O. He looks like Steve Buscemi with Down Syndrome."

    and a line about how ugly Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife is: "I bet her snatch tastes like Alpo."

    Yikes.

    So it's OK to make fun of Michael J. Fox, who contracted a disease, but not a drunken idiot who killed himself, and someone else, in a crash?

    I think the reason why the Dunn joke was cringe-worthy was because it was said in front of his good friend, Steve-O, whose face fell when the punchline was uttered. If Steve-O hadn't been in attendance, nobody would have given a shit about a Ryan Dunn joke.

    The Greg Giraldo joke worked. The Michael J. Fox joke was one of the best of the night. Were both harsh? Hell yes, but they were funny.

    The Ryan Dunn joke might have played better if it was delivered better. She didn't sell it.

    Just watched this on the DVR and the line that got me the most was a subtle one from Schumer.

    After making a crack about Patrice O'Neil's grandmother, she just quietly goes "Oh, I'm sorry, I assumed she raised you."

    That f**king slayed me. Maybe because the other jobs I could see coming a mile away?

    Props to her for the Ryan Dunn-Steve O joke though. That, too, was hysterical.

    Patrice O'Neal is funny as hell.

    I haven't laughed as hard at anything as I did at his special "Elephant in the Room."

    I just watched Schumer's part on Youtube. The line to Tyson "Your voice sounds like a woman crying. When you talk, do you give yourself an erection?" made me laugh out loud.
