...anything lofty--ideas and ideals, or here just decency--through bizarre, often inappropriate juxtaposition with the mundane. For the latter, think of The Big Lebowski's Walter and The Dude solemnly scattering their friend's ashes from a Quaker Oats box, into the wind. Thus DeGeneres' Pompano wolfs a corndog while questioning the distraught wife of the murdered.
