Ludacris mastered the Ken Griffey Jr face. He brought nothing to the table and besides Pete Davidson, no one even really bothered to say anything to him since he is so irrelevant.

They should have used Jeselnik for that spot. They had enough celebs already.

I don't mind the death jokes at all. And if something ever offends me its my fault, and a personal problem.

But stop acting like you're so cool because you can take a joke. If someone laughs in your face after your parents die you gonna be thinking "no big deal, who am I to say what's funny?"

like how all of you can't answer the fricking question/joke i proposed and look for ways to pick it apart


DUDE. you don't like the answers youre getting

I feel stupid explaining this but oh well

A) the expression "too soon?" youve been hearing for decades? thats said because comedians in popular culture generally break the seal on whats taboo to poke fun at. Crossing that line or not, or walking it carefully, is how people determine comedians considered "edgy". but since the dawn of shock comics, theres barely any lines not crossed anymore. And when they are people typically dont recoil in horror. as you seem to be

Second. Celebrities are generally regarded as being fair game across the board anymore. even in death. Like pro athletes, every detail of their lives are considered for public consumption. even in death. Theyre fricking young millionaires that have doors opened for them everywhere they go. so people are WAY less sensitive to their hardships when they happen. not to mention dude died over two years ago. So your argument about clowning on somebody's blue collar dead dad at the funeral is fricking DUMB

did I answer your fricking question?

So it's only funny if the person that died is famous?

What if instead Ludacris accidentally ran over his toddler child while backing out of his driveway and killed him. You don't have a problem with people making fun of him for that,since he's famous?

What do you not understand?

I can enjoy jokes that "cross the line." I don't get offended. But I can respect the fact that to some, they're very offensive. You on the other hand, can't. And it's ridiculous, because I highly doubt you'd be ok with someone laughing at you for losing someone close to you.

your comparisons man youre just trolling now

ive never heard a single comedian clown on the death of a child

this is retarded. last night was the 1st time ive personally ever heard people crack jokes about anyone that died on 9/11. possibly the most off limits topic in our society still today. that shite was WAY more "offensive" than paul who gives a shite walker

Just because I may not laugh it doesn't mean it isn't funny, nor that it shouldn't be said. Everything said at that roast was probably offensive to someone should they just cut the entire thing?

why don't you guys enlighten me on what's funny about Paul Walker or Michael Jackson's death?



it is a touchy thing to talk about but the idea of a guy who made movies about racing cars dying in a car crash? no material there?

Sometimes the audience you are in front of is not the target audience... esp when it is a recorded or broadcast event.

There's a way to make jokes about 9/11, Katrina, Isis, etc as a whole, even though i still find it inappropriate i don't mind it, but it's a lot more personal and hurtful when you talk about an individuals death.


I think that is inconsistent. Obviously individuals died in those events. While i expect their loved ones will not find humor in jokes about the event many other people can provided the comedian has a deft enough touch

I just thinks its a cheap and easy joke to make. No surprise it came from Ross. He couldnt directly attack Luda with something creative so he took the easy way out and made fun of his friend who just died.

And Im sure he said "too soon?" 1 second after the joke while he laughed at it.

I think death jokes are cool when its made by friends or when someone really close to the situation opens it up to be fair game. I doubt Ross and Walker were friends or even really knew each other. I dunno

ok so there's an age limit on when death is funny, as well as being famous.
See how stupid that sounds? both situations i have given have plenty of potential for humor, but you seem to think that would be crossing the line b/c it's a regular joe and a kid.

You seem to think it's ok to make fun of Paul Walker's death to his friends b/c you don't care about him or his friends and since they are rich and famous, they somehow brought it upon themselves.

Had the joke not been made with Ludacris up there and about him as well, a close friend of Walkers, then it would have just been another lame celebrity death joke by a no talent arse clown. But it crosses the line when you use that death as a means to hurt people close to the person that died, who are standing a few feet away from you as you direct the joke to them.

Like it was just said, unless Ludacris said something first, then don't joke on him about his friend dying.
