Saturday Night Live showed they can still get some laughs. Guest host Dakota Johnson plays a girl dropped off at college by her father (Taran Killam). It’s the first day of school and her dad nervously asks, “You be careful, okay?” Johnson responds cheerily, “Dad, it’s just ISIS”.
Of course, with anything these days, Twitterers s**t a brick.
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.

I think the ISIS skit was over the line. Not funny, guys … some things are not joke material. That was really, REALLY bad. #SNL

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.

Sheesh. Calm the F down people. It’s not like SNL made everyone wear headscarves and give up their passports. The only tragedy here is that we didn’t actually send Dakota Johnson off to ISIS. That girl is annoying.
