We already knew there were some Paul Walker jokes made at Comedy Central's Roast of Justin Bieberbut it wasn't until Walker's friend and co-star Ludacris spoke on them that we knew who had a hand in making sure they'd never make it to air. 

Ludacris was on the dais for the filming of the roast on March 14. The special debuts on the cable network on March 30. 

Although Luda told HuffPo Live he had a good time brutally taking down Bieber and the other celebs, he wasn't feeling the Walker jokes. 


"There were some Paul Walker jokes that I didn't feel like were appropriate," Ludacris told HuffPost Live. "I was told and promised that they would edit those out. Some of those were over the line."

Here are the jokes, which Comedy Central confirmed would be edited out of the broadcast: 

Here are a few examples of the jokes that made Walker, who died in a car crash back in 2013, the butt of the joke: 


“‘Move bitch, get out of the way!’ is what Paul Walker should’ve told that tree. “Too soon? Too fast? Too furious?” - Jeff Ross 


“Just this past year, Justin got arrested for drag racing. Unfortunately, it wasn’t with Paul Walker. What? He’s doing great! He’s got a movie coming out!” - SNL's Pete Davidson

Walker's final performance can be seen in Furious 7 when it hits theaters April 3. Ludacris has a new album that comes out March 31.
