This show has been in it's death throws and its may have just pulled itself off life support this evening

Skit about a dad dropping his daughter at an airport to seemingly go to college/military. Turns out an ISIS truck drives up and some things are said. Most disgustingly "death to America".

I hope this f***er gets cancelled soon.

Eh that wasn't as bad a scene as you're making it imo

What was good about it? In pretty lax on a lot of stuff but it was disgusting and in poor taste.

Nothing was particularly "good" about it (could be said of a lot of SNL recently), but I think that the OP reaction is a little overboard.

Nothing about it is appropriate. ISIS has kidnapped and beheaded and burned alive people who think differently than they do. They are in the middle of a genocidal campaign. It's the personification of evil walking the earth.

They are still at it.

Let's make a skit about joining something like that. Seems acceptable.

One day the OP will look back at his life and wonder, "When did I get so old?"

The answer is February 28th, 2015.

It's amazing to me that people can see what ISIS is doing and thinkng that it remotely a joking matter.

If I'm old, so be it. At least I stand for something.

SNL is a part of the mainstream/entertainment media which is just an extension of the democrat party. Right now, the lock step talking points are to downplay ISIS. For many reasons. They are just carrying the water.

ISIS is doing unimaginable evil in the world right now. But just imagine is if instead of ISIS they downplayed an abortion clinic bomber, or neo nazis, or the KKK, or those against SSM. Heads would be called for.

This is one of the amusing things about comedy. Everything is funny, until it's about something that offends you, then it crosses the line. There is NO line.

Damn beat me to it. Although Death Throws sounds like a great metal band, or something you could do in Dungeons & Dragons.

The weird thing is, if I watch a TV show and think it sucks, I never watch it again. Other people seem to decide a show sucks, then dedicate their nights to watching it religiously to remind the world that it sucks.

Also, naive teenage girls really ARE joining ISIS. They were making fun of that, not making light of ISIS.

It is funny how much you guys trudge this line up and beetch about it...

But then your type goes and does the same thing!

Also, as a poster above said...if you don't like it, don't watch it! I don't like fictional news so I don't watch fox...I also don't go and complain about it if I accidentally watch it...It's very simple.

I laughed. I knew that was going to offend people. But I laughed.

Dakota Johnson is cute btw. Kind of unconventional. Her teeth are a little messed up. But she's cute.

The opening skit about Guiliani was awful. I was far more offended at that. (Not offended that they poked fun at Rudy, but that they would think that was acceptable quality writing.)

It was the worst cold open I think I've ever seen on that show in recent memory, and that's saying something.

Have you seen Birdman?

(I thought the open sucked too, but if you've seen that it helps a lot!)

Ahhh, now it makes more sense..,.

No, haven't seen Birdman but judging from the reaction of the live studio audience, neither had they.

I liked the cold open.. I didn't necessarily find it funny. But I enjoyed it.

LOLOLOL at you thinking that just because someone has a laugh, that they don't want ISIS off the face of the earth. Thanks for making those assumptions.

It was satire, taking a poke with a big stick at the naive kids (girls in particular) who are leaving to fight for ISIS. Nothing wrong at all and SNL has been making that kind of commentary for 40 years.

The cold open didn't really make me laugh. But I thought it was clever. Not sure why it didn't work for me.

It does sort of minimize the evil I guess.

Did SNL ever do a 911 skit? I honestly can't recall. But you can see that getting some outrage.

Again, I laughed. But there's some distance here in the US from this that makes it "funny." I can see both sides of it.
