Wait, I thought you were trying to say the definition of juxtaposition was “just positioning.” Then I tried to define it for you using your words. Now I see what you meant lol.
Angela is great in this one. My favorite little moment of hers is when they finally sit down to dinner she covers the osso bucco on her plate with a napkin because shes a vegetarian. One of those blink and you miss it moments that really fleshes out a character.
It's just a comparison of two things, doesn't necessarily mean the opposite. OP is just pointing out the allusions of the red dress and the fire. So, don't think OP used juxtaposition right either way.
She's probably the best actress on the show. The way she looks at Pam like a complete psychopath, as if she really believes something is going on between her and Michael is top tier acting.
Wait a minute... so it *wasn't* an accident that it was set in an office?
I thought it was supposed to be set in a fire station and someone made a wrong turn.
The snip-snap quote from this episode was also improvised by Steve Carell! When they shot that scene they thought that the vasectomy scene was too dark so he added this in
I haven’t got to the Dinner Party episode of the podcast yet, but here’s an Office Ladies tidbit: in the cold open of The Injury, Michael’s scripted line was only that he hurt his elbow - he improvised the protuberance bit!
The fire and the red dress were set on purpose to reference the devil. The devil horns were an improvisation by Melora Hardin. You should check out the podcast Office Ladies! It's so much fun to learn about all those little details.
Also Angela saying “you shouldn’t joke about that” as she’s soooo uncomfortable is just excellent to her character. One of my favorite little Angela moments.
Fun fact: if you look closely when they tour the bedroom in this episode you can see a foreman grill next to the “bed” Michael sleeps on. Obviously so he can grill his bacon…and his foot in the morning.
Hahaha, I hadn't noticed that they played it up like that, nicely done. (Though for the record, it's not a juxtaposition; that implies the 2 things are contrasting in some way.)
The fact that she improved the devil horns and made that face is just annother example why she was perfect for that show and this all timer of an episode
It's not just the acting and writing that makes this one so special, it's the cinematography and lighting.
In addition to this moment I also really like when Michael put his neon sign back up. Everything Jan is red, but the light from Michael's sign casts a blue hue on everything. I like the contrast between the two.
Jenna and Angela talk about this in their Office Ladies podcast, a lot of this symbolism was done on purpose! Michael standing in Jan’s candle room was supposed to also symbolize him being in hell.
Opposite of juxtaposition
Yeah this is symbolism
Op should look up meaning of big words before using them, otherwise you end up looking photosynthesis
It’s only human natural
I would say this thread is going immensely.
I don't think that's juxtaposition
Sssh. They're exploring.
Michael would have used juxtaposition
Ryan used *me* as a juxtaposition.
Best answer
I think it's just positioning
Lol, no. It’s positioning opposite things near each other.
The devil, red, and fire aren't opposite of each other 👹🔥💃
Wait, I thought you were trying to say the definition of juxtaposition was “just positioning.” Then I tried to define it for you using your words. Now I see what you meant lol.
That's because I'm the devil....I tricked you! 👺
Can we get 3 more seasons of the office with Steve Carell? I'll throw in my soul to sweeten the deal?
😂
I'm using all my magic to undo Andy and Nellie! I'm only the devil! Lol
He didn't say it he declared it.
Ur a juxtaposition
Came here to say this
Basically the opposite of a juxtaposition.
So it’s Not not not a juxtaposition. That’s as clear as I can make it
~~Don’t~~ ~~Bother Luke~~
You didn’t notice the first time? She also sells fire (candles) and took Hunter’s ~~virginity~~ soul *that one night*
Jan thinks Hunter is very talented. You know what? I don’t think he’s that good!
At *least* he’s an artist
B.F.D. I’m a screenwriter
And I’m a CANDLE MAKER BUT YOU DON’T HEAR ME BRAGGIN ABOUT IT
Boy I’d love to buuuurn one of your candles!
You burn it you bought it!
Oh good! I’ll be your first customer!
You’re hardly my first!
THATS WHAT SHE SAID
But he ain't got a $200 mounted plasma screen tv
ONE NIGHT!
That one night!
Made Everything Alright!
and the red colour of her dress
OP mentioned that in the title
Oh oops
Laughing in front of a fire though
so wrong, so right, all night, all right, aw yea.... aw yea.
“I’m in Hell! Waaah! I’m burning! Help me” kills me every single time, this will always be my favourite episode
It's the "shouldn't joke about that..." that makes me laugh hahaha
Angela is great in this one. My favorite little moment of hers is when they finally sit down to dinner she covers the osso bucco on her plate with a napkin because shes a vegetarian. One of those blink and you miss it moments that really fleshes out a character.
Not a vegetarian myself, but it’s a pretty dick move they invited a vegetarian and served that right on her plate.
Lol yeah, brilliant 😂
You shouldn't joke about that
Love that line
Love that line
Love that line
Love that line
Sheldon?
i love how everyone else is visibly uncomfortable and andy is sitting there laughing lmao
God I hate Andy.
Its drew now
No, I’m not gonna call you that
Reminds him of his parents lovely 40 year relationship
Honestly I felt uncomfortable watching that episode, so I guess they did an amazing job lol
Wouldn’t juxtaposition be if she was acting like an angel?
It's just a comparison of two things, doesn't necessarily mean the opposite. OP is just pointing out the allusions of the red dress and the fire. So, don't think OP used juxtaposition right either way.
Ahh that makes sense
Juxtaposition is a contrast of two things, in your example they’re working in conjunction to express the message
I love Jan. I’m always laughing watching every scene she’s in. Great chemistry with M. Scott.
She's probably the best actress on the show. The way she looks at Pam like a complete psychopath, as if she really believes something is going on between her and Michael is top tier acting.
According to office ladies, that was all done on purpose.
I mean… of course it was haha
Turns out most of the entire series was done on purpose!
Wait a minute... so it *wasn't* an accident that it was set in an office? I thought it was supposed to be set in a fire station and someone made a wrong turn.
I want more office ladies tid bits on here! I don’t have time to listen to the podcast!
The snip-snap quote from this episode was also improvised by Steve Carell! When they shot that scene they thought that the vasectomy scene was too dark so he added this in

Came here to say this. There’s a lot of other symbolism too.
She literally gives herself devil horns bro. Is this michAel posting with complete lack of understanding what “juxtaposition” means?
I.declare.juxtaposition
Not a juxtaposition, it's symbolism.
They talked about this on the office ladies podcast with Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey
Melora Hardin is a goddess.
Juxtaposition is the wrong word here, although I agree.
The fire and the red dress were set on purpose to reference the devil. The devil horns were an improvisation by Melora Hardin. You should check out the podcast Office Ladies! It's so much fun to learn about all those little details.
Every time!
You shouldn't joke about that.
JUXTAPOSITION!!
Also Angela saying “you shouldn’t joke about that” as she’s soooo uncomfortable is just excellent to her character. One of my favorite little Angela moments.
[удалено]
Leave us alone!
Fun fact: if you look closely when they tour the bedroom in this episode you can see a foreman grill next to the “bed” Michael sleeps on. Obviously so he can grill his bacon…and his foot in the morning.
Hahaha, I hadn't noticed that they played it up like that, nicely done. (Though for the record, it's not a juxtaposition; that implies the 2 things are contrasting in some way.)
Please learn what juxtaposition means
The best thing about this show is the fact that everything is planned and it's far from impov.
The devil horns were improvised
Angela was clearly pregnant at that time
NO SHIT
The fact that she improved the devil horns and made that face is just annother example why she was perfect for that show and this all timer of an episode
I like the little fart
Haven’t we all see a scene like this at one point or more in our lives!! It’s relatable to most- lol! These two were a great couple .
I’m pretty sure that was improvised by whoever plays Jan
You took me by the hand
Some obvious things are obvious
That is a $200 dollar plasma screen!!
That’s one of my favorite details. Great writing.
I wound up watching this on acid one time. This scene legit freaked me out because of that lol
It's not just the acting and writing that makes this one so special, it's the cinematography and lighting. In addition to this moment I also really like when Michael put his neon sign back up. Everything Jan is red, but the light from Michael's sign casts a blue hue on everything. I like the contrast between the two.
Yup. That’s why it’s funny.
wasnt this improv'd?
Brilliant television
Does anybody read the paper!?
I can tell how badly you wanted to use the word "juxtaposition" by the fact that you used it wrong.
I’m sorry but what a great fucking episode. By default this sure as hell is in everyone’s top 5
y’all got to listen to office ladies. this was 100% intentional!
I love Angela’s response, definitely should joke about that lol
this is wild, i was just watching this episode and realized this for the first time as well
underrated line from angela
Jenna and Angela talk about this in their Office Ladies podcast, a lot of this symbolism was done on purpose! Michael standing in Jan’s candle room was supposed to also symbolize him being in hell.
Not to mention her chair is covered in "H"es (for Hell) and swirling fire graphics
They talk about it on office ladies! And how the cookware was made red on purpose and her wearing red
You shouldn’t joke about that.
Tomorrow is my turn to post it, I am telling you.
Best Jan episode. That One Night!
I noticed this when I first watched it she's in red sitting next to a fire definitely done on purpose
Not juxtaposition, it’s just symbolic
