Saturday Night Live goes a step too far?

Be sure to read the comments at the link.

How did we get to be so ignorant about our own Constitution?

It has nothing to do with the Constitution or the 1st Amendment. Maybe someone could make a video of ISIS slitting Miss Johnsons throat and catching the blood in a bucket to make blutwurst and feeding her body to alligators? That would make a funny parody.

Is that the same girl who was in Fifty Shades of Vomit?

Same one.

Very poor taste IMO. Thumbs down SNL.

Nobody ever went broke by underestimating the tastes of liberal Democrats - the majority of the SNL audience.

Even this crap from SNL can't compare to REALITY....

That face has 'Dumbass' written all over it. Looks like Mortimer Snerd.

SNL has Dakota Johnson join ISIS in parody of US Army commercial Daily Mail Online

A step too far that characterizes the US military as equivalent to ISIS, a parody in bad taste, or just a harmless parody of a commercial?

My impression was this was a parody of a commercial about a daughter leaving home for college. Haven't seen the US Army commercial.

SNL died long ago. They never buried it.

SNL is a television concept that is way past its prime, is no longer relevant, and should have been replaced years ago.

Not everyone shares your opinion. The Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary show had 23 million viewers. When a show pulls that large an audience, the network can sell ads and is unlikely to cancel it.

I agree. It has sucked ass for years. They should have ended it when it was still good.

23 million viewers for the SNL 40th Anniversary Show, about the same size as NBC's NFL games on Sunday night.

On the social media front, a total of 9.1 million people in the U.S. saw 1.3 million Tweets about the "SNL 40th Anniversary Special" on Sunday, according to Nielsen. These Tweets were sent by over 449,000 people and generated 188 million Twitter TV impressions.

Yeah. They are hoping a few good skits will magically appear..which rarely happens any more.

Just watched it. Didn't laugh.....but that may be because I had already known what it was about. The idea is a clever one.

I'm certainly not offended like some of the tight asses who have expressed outrage.

Regarding SNL being funny........

That show has always been funny less than half the time. We usually DVR it and ff through the bits that don't work. Most weeks....there are a couple of laughs. While the early days were better.....every iteration of the show has had its share of really talented cast members.
