Many comedy writers, however, define juxtaposition as "two completely unrelated things being put together, [[ForScience just to see what could happen]]." A JuxtapositionGag 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 JuxtapositionGag are extremely obvious anachronisms (Abraham Lincoln, [[RecycledInSPACE ASTRONAUT]]) or flat-out contradictory concepts (TheGrimReaper, M.D.), but any two things that are sufficiently distinct from each other can suffice.
