The Jehovah's Witness Squirrel meme features a photograph of a squirrel standing on its hind legs at a glass door or front porch, appearing as though it is waiting for the homeowner to answer. The image first gained traction on social media platforms like Facebook and Reddit around 2012, with users quickly drawing parallels between the squirrel's upright posture and the polite persistence of door-to-door missionaries. It is widely used to represent unwanted visitors, unexpected solicitations, or simply a very polite animal looking for a snack. The format remains a staple in the animal-acting-like-human genre of internet humor due to its wholesome yet relatable context.
