Juxtaposition Gag: Difference between revisions

Many comedy writers, however, define juxtaposition as "two completely unrelated things being put together, [[For Science!|just to see what could happen]]." A [['''Juxtaposition Gag]]''' is when a character or object is placed in a normally unrelated situation or genre for the sake of a joke.

Common features of a [['''Juxtaposition Gag]]''' are extremely obvious anachronisms (Abraham Lincoln, [[Recycled in Space|ASTRONAUT]]) or flat-out contradictory concepts ([[The Grim Reaper]], M.D.), but any two things that are sufficiently distinct from each other can suffice.
