“The View” hosts were in agreement Monday that the controversial “Saturday Night Live” ISIS sketch was good comedy in dark times, and none was more vocal than resident comedian Whoopi Goldberg.
“I’ve always felt that the best way to get back at boneheads, like ISIS, is to make them the joke,” Goldberg said.
Fellow panelist Rosie Perez said the “SNL” sketch, where Dakota Johnson joins ISIS in a send-up of a Toyota commercial, falls right in line with the history of satire against violent enemies.
“The great Charlie Chaplin did it first when he did the movie ‘The Great Dictator’ where he made fun of Hitler, and there was an uproar about that,” Perez said.
