Challenge! Animal Impressions Roundup [Party Entertainment / Performance]
Power through with momentum!
Here’s an article that compiles ideas for animal impressions!
It’s tough to come up with elaborate performances, right?
When you’re thinking, “I don’t have time to prepare, and I don’t even know where to start,” just learning even one of the ideas in this article might get you through.
Also, with celebrity impressions, sometimes the audience doesn’t know the person.
In that sense, with animal impressions you don’t have to worry about that.
Each one is short, so doing them as a medley could be a good idea!
Challenge! Animal Impersonations Compilation [Party Entertainment/Skits] (1–10)
Tyrannosaurus
Jurassic Park is hugely popular in movies, film-music concerts, and even at USJ.
Carnivorous dinosaurs are scary to see up close, but everyone loves them, right? So let’s try doing an impression of the king of the dinosaurs, the Tyrannosaurus! The legend of the impersonation world, Korokke, does a T.
rex impression, so let’s use that as our model and get started! The trick is to keep your elbows tucked in, make your arms short, and look around a lot.
It can be a bit embarrassing to fully become a dinosaur, but don’t be shy—show it off!
pigeon
It’s an impression of a pigeon’s coo that seems easy but is actually tricky.
The key is how you move your tongue, and you might need a bit of practice to make it sound realistic.
It’s a performance that can wow everyone with its authenticity.
Dressing up as a pigeon will get an even bigger laugh.
sloth
Their movements are so slow that they’ve ended up with an utterly straightforward name: the sloth.
They look adorable hanging from trees.
Mimicking a sloth as it gazes off in some odd direction while stuffing food into its cheeks seems like something you could re-create pretty easily.
duck
The person who’s been doing a duck impression for a long time is the manzai comedian Okakenta from the duo Okakenta Yuta.
The “brrrr” where he pinches his cheeks and makes his lips vibrate is truly a masterful skill.
If you just want to imitate a duck, copying Okakenta is the quickest route! For other duck voices, there’s Donald Duck—Koichi Yamadera does the Japanese dub in the anime version.
There are plenty of videos, so it’s easy to practice.
As a curveball, imitating the Aflac duck would probably get laughs too!
chicken
In Japan, long before alarm clocks existed, the familiar “cock-a-doodle-doo” of the rooster was treasured as a morning wake-up call.
Listening to it again, it feels more like a shout than a chirp, and if you’re aiming for realism, it might take quite a bit of practice.
Give it a solid try!
Goat
If you listen closely, you’ll notice that an adult goat’s bleat is not “mee” but “beh.” They say more people in the U.S.
are keeping goats as pets.
Goat bleats vary widely—from high-pitched to low—so there’s no single “correct” way to imitate them.
crab
I don’t really understand what’s going on anymore, but Tanaka from Ungirls doing his crab impression just makes me burst out laughing.
He even said on a TV show that if fans ask him, he’ll sometimes do it out on the street, so I guess it’s become one of his signature gags.
Mimic a scene of a Japanese spider crab quietly munching on its food, and, just like Tanaka, become the crowd favorite! It’s especially effective if a slim person does it, since it makes people think of a crab’s arms and legs.
Go big, and make choppy, jerky movements—that’s the trick!
