Comedy Central Roasts are traditionally a no holds barred event - and Charlie Sheen's this week was always going to be crude one.
Former Last Comic Standing contestant Amy Schumer has come under fire for her remarks during the roast aired on Monday night.
Too far? Comedienne Amy Schumer has come under fire for her joke about deceased Jackass star Ryan Dunn during Charlie Sheen's Comedy Roast
Upset: The joke was directed at Dunn's friend and co-star Steve-O, who did not look pleased
The 30-year-old spent most of her slot making fun of her fellow roasters including Mike Tyson, William Shatner and Kate Walsh.
When she came to Dunn's Jackass co-star and close friend Steve-O, she said: 'I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Ryan Dunn.
Too soon? Dunn died in a car accident in June
'I know you were thinking, "It could have been me," and I know we were all thinking "Why wasn't it?"'
The cameras panned to Steve-O, real name Stephen Gilchrist Glover, who looked taken aback, while several audience members booed.
Dunn, 34, died in a car crash in June in West Chester, Pennsylvania with his passenger Zachary Hartwell. The prankster was later confirmed to have had a blood alcohol level of 0.196 percent, more than twice the Pennsylvania limit of 0.08.
Miss Schumer immediately received a wave of criticism on social networking sites, but the man of the hour, Charlie Sheen, certainly wasn't one of her detractors.
He tweeted her yesterday, writing: 'Shocking!! @amyschumer... You're beautiful... funny... and incredibly mean!! And I love you!!'
Steve-O, 37, has not remarked on the incident on his own Twitter page since.
