Mine is -
skit - SNL's Land Shark skit, where they say "Jehovah's Witness"
Joke - Chris Rock - "when I was growing up I thought that the JW's were the meanest toughest gang in the world, because every time my family saw them coming down the street, my parents would say 'run hide, its the jehovah's witnesses' and we would all hit the floor."
I absolutely love the scene in the movie Airplane where actor Robert Stack is walking into the airport, when a JW walks up to him and tries to give him a tract. He does an elaborate kung-fu move on the JW and kicks his ass. It's hilarious.
I believe Garrison Keillor once told a joke on Prairie Home Companion, asking what do you get when you cross a Jehovahs Witness with a Unitarian Universalist? Answer: Someone who knocks on your door for no apparant reason.

including my favorite:
A man went to a pet shop and purchased a parrot. Apparently, the parrot had belonged to a Jehovah's Witness because it kept repeating, "Read the Watchtower and Awake. Avoid wordly associations. The end of this system of things is near." Squawk.
Well, the new owner of the bird attempted to add new vocabulary to the parrot's repertoire with books on tape and contemporary music, but as the months went by it became obvious that nothing could break through. The parrot continued to repeat the standard catchphrases of the Watch Tower Society and nothing else.
The owner finally became frustrated and infuriated and, in a fit of violent anger, threw the parrot across the room.
The parrot smashed against the wall, and slid down to the floor, at which point the parrot immediately started squawking:
"No Blood! No Blood! No Blood!"
One of my favoites was on The Simpsons:
Marge: My life is pretty boring. The other day some Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door and I wouldn't let them leave. They finally snuck away when I went to make lemonade.
Homer: Yeah, lemonade is good.
