Line 22:
* [[Epic Fail]]: [[Jersey Shore|Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino]] notoriously crashed and burned at the Trump Roast, and was almost booed off the stage (Jeff Ross actually had to go up and defend him long enough for him to finish.)
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: A lot of the Comedy Central Roasters (especially Lisa Lampanelli, Whitney Cummings, and Anthony Jeselnik) are highly unapologetic for the number of times they cross the line. However, when Marlee Matlin was on the Donald Trump roast, most of them said that she was such a class act, they wished they'd gone easier on her (This despite the fact that Marlee took it all in stride and, frankly, was able to give as well as she got.)
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Plenty over the years but notably any [[Too Soon]] joke ever made by [[w:Greg Giraldo|Greg Giraldo]].
** One of the worst was at the Larry the Cable Guy Roast. Lisa is talking about how successful Larry is and mentions that he makes $250,000 a night. She repeats the number a few times, then says, "I just wanna see how many times I have to say that before Greg Giraldo kills himself." He actually looks at her and says "Once more."
** At the Charlie Sheen Roast, comedian Patrice O'Neal seemed legitimately upset that people were making fun of his diabetes. He went on stage and said he was "dying". The Roast aired in September 2011; O'Neal died in November 2011 at the age of 41. Crosses with [[Harsher in Hindsight]] and [[Tear Jerker]] since O'Neal and Sheen had never met prior to the Roast.
