First, in an outraged fusillade of e-mails, which are cleverly projected onto a screen at the side of the stage, and then in person—growling bearishly into his phone as he sits in an overstuffed armchair, swaddled in an incongruous pink bathrobe—he tells Jim, in no uncertain terms, to piss off.

It feels incongruous to see him like this, in non-Jon Snow form, wearing civilian clothes as opposed to dense swaths of fur and, occasionally, smiling, free of the residual existential trauma associated with having been stabbed to death (fucking Olly!) and then brought back to life by way of some extremely dark magic.
Moreover, the cleverly incongruous accompaniment of Phil Collins's crystalline pop anthem "Take Me Home," blasting from a boombox in the background, provides a disorientingly upbeat soundtrack for a scene shot in the middle of the night and centered on a character who's lost almost everything (including his wife, who was murdered by Wellick last season).

And so she has a bird's eye view that lets her fuse textures from one genre or sphere—of wibble-wobbling basslines, quivering synths—with others (of the melismatic and breathy, Janet Jackson-esque vocal melodies steeped in black American music), which would seem totally incongruous to someone who hadn't spent their life code-switching.
He followed the sound to a woman with smiling red-stained lips in a hip-hugging minidress—a sight far too modern and incongruous in a city renowned as the heart of traditional Javanese culture, where many women, including the one accompanying her, resisted Western influence by continuing to wear the classic batik sarong and lace blouses.

The most arresting thing about Harvey Weinstein, for me, was how methodical he was, how consistent in modus operandi, when he decided to go after a woman: The call from a talent agent to arrange the meeting, the reassuring female assistant in the lobby, the hotel-room door closing, the bathrobe, the incongruous request for a massage.
Publicly championing a lipstick might have seemed incongruous for a woman whose rich life has been lived largely without makeup as a personal choice, but this one made sense: Launched in defense of women's reproductive rights in the wake of the Trump election, 100% of net profits from the sale of the hot-pink shade went directly to Planned Parenthood.
The merging of Bluetooth and audio technology from 40 years ago may seem incongruous, but it's not the worst idea ever: assuming you're still the sort of person who'd want to carry around a retro-style cassette player, having to stoop to using a second ancient tech standard — the 3.5mm headphone jack — at the same time might be asking too much.
Given Alegre's familiarity with high design, it might seem incongruous that his sofa (a built-in, of course) is upholstered in a waterproof canvas that he freely admits is a bit uncomfortable, or that thrifted china fills a heavy wooden cabinet of the kind you might find in the apartment of a bourgeois grandmother (such as his own, from whom he took it).
Among the issues at the top of Silver's list are dealing with ever-declining interest in the regular season in this playoffs-mean-everything world, as well as the growing influence of the gambling industry in all professional sports and the incongruous nature of the N.B.A.'s seemingly hotter-than-ever popularity on its social media channels while TV ratings decline.
It's a tribute to Mr. McEwan's inventiveness and sleight of hand that he turns this incongruous setup into a small tour de force that showcases his gifts as a writer — his authority, his imaginative verve, his sly delight in the gymnastics words can perform — while conjuring the uncertainties of a contemporary world, troubled by social upheaval, new and old inequities and unexpected political change.
Instead: craters, heaps of rubble, mortar, stones, walls broken off, a craggy desert, air thick with dust," so that it was the few buildings left standing that "seemed out of place, incongruous, with their insistence of boundaries, definite lines" — gave her the sense that the world is "not a given, even if it occupies more and more of the sky," and that poetry builds "a counter-world, not better, but other.
Along the way, Amazon threw in a bizarre and incongruous subplot about drone strikes that vacillated between a searing critique of the video-game consoles at military bases in Nevada, where drone pilots kill terrorism suspects half a world away, and a painfully mawkish redemption arc, in which a drone pilot travels to Syria to donate money and apologize in person to the son of an innocent civilian he bombed.
Day 247: "Waist of a Wasp" – T-Pain and Lil Wayne, T-Wayne, 2017 If "DAMN, DAMN, DAMN" is the promise of a future that never was, the follow-up song, "Waist of a Wasp," is pure late 2000s radio material, from the classic T-Pain hook to the semi-incongruous chopped up soul production down to the reference to Wayne's girl having her own folder in his Sidekick.
In line with the Marshall Plan dictum that natives have more credibility than foreigners, it was staffed by American hosts: an incongruous mix of telegenic, ambitious but inexperienced broadcast journalists like Liz Wahl, whom RT recruited from the local television station in the Mariana Islands, and later-career itinerant expats like Peter Lavelle, a banker-turned-reporter who previously worked as a stringer for United Press International's Moscow bureau and contributed to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
Geometric patterns, often in an abundance of ornamentation that was incongruous with more minimalist modernist architecture; an embrace of global influences from Japanese woodblocks to more problematic appropriations of indigenous art (such as for the unrealized Nakoma Country Club that used stereotypical "Native American" statues as decoration); an interest in native flora and a connection to the environment even while he wanted to shape it; and an attention to organic materials is threaded through the work.
In fact, it is the sensory details other than taste that struck my husband and me most during our summer visit: the sharp aromas of burning oak and vegetables cooking beneath ash, the incongruous but pleasant chorus of cicadas and prewar jazz serenading us to our courtyard table, the warm (but not overly chipper) service from two different servers, and a clear view of the space's statement piece: a hulking wire dome used for hanging carcasses and slow-cooking whole fish and meat.
The killers are all a bunch of waifish young women, their hideout is a dilapidated Western movie set called Spahn Ranch, and Tarantino can score all the bloody scenes with incongruous pop tunes if Sony or whoever owns the Beatles catalog this week gives him the OK. The only way the thing could go even more Tarantino is if he decides to go all Basterds with it and shoot a revisionist history third act where Manson actually incites Helter Skelter and the whole world erupts in an apocalyptic race war.
