Dakota Johnson Joined ISIS on SNL and People Sure Are Upset About It
Last night, on Saturday Night Live, Dakota Johnson graduated from high school and joined ISIS. Her proud and teary-eyed dad, played by Taran Killiam, dropped her off. "Death to America," shouted an ISIS fighter played by Kyle Mooney.
The sketch is a parody of this Toyota Camry ad, in which a father drops his daughter off at the airport on her way to join the (presumably American) military.
It also references the teen girls who are leaving home to join ISIS from all around the world.
Unsurprisingly, there was a lot of finger-wagging on social media about the sketch.
I'm going to go ahead and voice my opinion on the #SNL ISIS skit. Absolutely hell no, under any circumstance. Poor poor taste!

#SNL makes #ISIS look funny. Easy to do living on Park Ave protected by NYPD & FBI. Christians being slaughtered in Middle East not laughing

Arsenio Hall was into it though, so who can really say.
ISIS: We'll take it from here dad! #snl #hilarious
