SNL’s Skit Spoofing Toyota “My Bold Dad” Commercial of Father Dropping Off Daughter to Head off With ISIS Was Just Not Funny … “Death to America”

I am all for satirical humor and I love sarcasm, but some things are just not funny, this was one of them. Maybe next SNL could parody Barack Obama and ISIS perfect together, hmm?

This past Saturday night, SNL did a parody skit that was just not funny. In fact it was a bit sickening. SNL parodied and did a spoof of a Toyota Camry commercial, “My Bold Dad,” that depicted a father driving his daughter to the airport so she can leave for the US Army. The ad was shown during the Super Bowl and was quite an emotional one. However, the SNL’s version of a father-daughter duo saying their tearful goodbyes before her ride pulls up, a white pick-up truck with an ISIS sign on the side and a bed and cab full of ISIS terrorists, claiming death to America, just isn’t funny.

Some things just are not funny, the death of a child, beheadings and the recent rash of young and impressionable girls running off to join ISIS. Sorry, its just not humor.

Too many parents go through the painful process of having to bring their children to the airport to fight for their country only to have to pick them up in their child’s return flight back to the United States in a coffin. The skit above is just wrong on multiple levels. I understand that SNL is trying to mock the girls for being so stupid to run off with ISIS like it is a good thing. Trust me haters, I get it. The fact that some will not get it is the problem and the fact that too many of our kids have died to protect the rights of all, even the moronic, in the United States is the issue. Sorry, its just not funny. Death, rape and sex slavery rarely is.

The Blaze:

“You be careful, OK?” the father says.

“Dad, it’s just ISIS,” responds Johnson, winking.

The father says through teary eyes, “Take care of her.”

A jihadist responds, equally somber, “Death to America.”

Below is the emotional and incredible Toyota ad, ‘MY BOLD DAD’. It is worth watching again and again.

What I saw was yes, the stupidity of young well-raised children is always amazing, but I also saw perhaps a send-up of the military. I’ve lived in the U.S. and served 4 years as a Captain in the Air Force, but I’m actually alarmed by the reverence with which we treat our military. When I was a teenager, I saw the military treated with utter disgust and disrespect as we fought a war we didn’t believe in, and I watched in horror at how we treated our returning vets. Yet we now have wars we don’t believe in, but we honor the military. I would prefer to give reverence to maintaining and preserving all the lives lost, by not going to war unless we have a clearly defined enemy and goal. The fact that we can’t poke fun at the military without stirring up some dust worries me — what does it mean that we can have a lighthearted comedy about killing the living leader of a despised enemy and think we’re entitled to that kind of comedy in the land of the free, but this SNL piece causes a ruckus? Perhaps we should look at why we can’t laugh. I know many will attack and say look at the evils of ISIS and the horrible atrocities going on, and I say, yes, that is worth fighting — but what about the crazy wars we fought all those years that may have played a role in creating this problem? More importantly,what are our goals now, how do we get there, and how do we cause the least amount of bloodshed getting there? When can we say we won?

SM: The SNL skit isn’t really poking fun at the military. Its mocking teenage girls stupidly running off to join with ISIS and sadly they are making the comparison by satirizing the Toyota commercial by comparing it to the one where a daughter joins the military.

Sorry, but that is a bit offensive and there is nothing humorous about what happens to these ignorant girls that join ISIS and become rape victims.
