Watch the SNL ISIS Parody That Made the Internet Mad

It's nice to see an 'SNL' conversation that isn't about how much it sucks now.

The parody video, which premiered during Dakota Johnson's SNL episode last Saturday, spoofs that father/daughter Toyota car commercial by showing a doting father dropping his teenage daughter off to go join the Islamist extremist group ISIS. The video drew some criticism on Twitter for mocking the growing trend of westerners like Jihad John who are joining the ranks of the Islamic extremist group. But free speech is free speech, and Saturday Night Live hasn't come close to this kind of raw, social satire in decades. Give it a watch.
