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.11:44 PM - 28 Feb 2015 Pennsylvania, USA, United States

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.11:54 PM - 28 Feb 2015

Meanwhile, others thought the skit funny and defended it on Twitter:

Seriously? SNL is being criticized for mocking Isis, and the people who join it? There's no group more deserving of ridicule. Thumbs up #SNL7:54 AM - 1 Mar 2015
