SNL ISIS Skit Starring Dakota Johnson Raises
Controversy! (http://thedbz.com/snl-isis-skit-
starring-dakota-johnson-raises-controversy/)
On the most recent episode of Saturday Night Live, Dakota Johnson starred in a spoof of a
Toyota commercial that features her being dropped off at the airport by her father to leave for the
army; however, unlike the original Toyota commercial, Johnson ends up leaving with ISIS.

The ISIS skit has sparked mixed reactions amongst those that viewed the show on Saturday. Many
people are upset because they feel it was inappropriate and not funny, and some people are even
going as far as calling the skit “depraved” and “vile.”
After the episode aired, many people posted their distaste for the SNL skit on Twitter:
Just saw maybe the most unfunny #SNL piece of all time.
Is ISIS really a good subject for humor? #nbc And I've
loved SNL for decades.

Not very funny #SNL with the ISIS skit. "Take care of my
daughter" referring to a group that gruesomely kills.

Dear #SNL, jokes about Isis are not funny. See how much
you laugh when you have to see your loved one(s) being
slaughtered. No respect.

Meanwhile, others thought the skit funny and defended it on Twitter:
People are honestly offended by the ISIS #SNL sketch? If
you've been a long time fan & you're not familiar with
satire - turn off your tv.

Some of the best comedy comes from things we are
afraid to touch... the #ISIS commercial on #SNL was
brilliant.

Seriously? SNL is being criticized for mocking Isis, and
the people who join it? There's no group more deserving
of ridicule. Thumbs up #SNL
