The Random House Dictionary defines juxtaposition "as an act or instance of placing close together or side by side, esp. for comparison or contrast."
Many comedy writers, however, define juxtaposition as "two completely unrelated things being put together, 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.

Monty Python's Flying Circus:
Argument Clinic
Bruce Sketch / Philosopher's Song
The "Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch is about a government agency whose mission is to develop silly walking styles. At one point, John Cleese's character notes that the Ministry can't just dole out grants willy-nilly because the British government actually spends less money on silly walks than it does on national defense.
Really Camp Army Parade
The "Self Defense Against Fresh Fruit" sketch consists of a leatherlung instructor teaching his students how to defend themselves against attackers armed with fresh fruit. Defense methods include dropping 16-ton weights on the attacker and siccing large predatory animals on them.
