One-hit gags that go over well at parties and as entertainment, recommended for women (61–70)
balloon art
Balloon art, a staple of street performances and a popular act for children, uses those colorful, long balloons and a pump to twist them into shapes like dogs and flowers.
It may seem geared toward kids, but you can wow everyone by creating surprising pieces and giving them away on the spot, or even using them as venue decorations.
Some works are so artistic that you can’t help but wonder, “How do they make that?”—so give it a try!
Marshmallow Catch
The “marshmallow catch” you often see on TV: someone tosses you a marshmallow, you open your mouth to catch it, and eat it right then and there.
It’s a quick party trick where even the misses are part of the fun—but if you could catch it every single time, wouldn’t that be impressive? Tossing it straight up yourself and catching it is fine, of course, but having someone else throw it to you, catching it, and gradually increasing the distance makes it harder, more engaging to watch, and really amps up the excitement.
Maybe even have them throw a fastball, too (haha).
makeup that makes you look like a different person
Most women, to a greater or lesser extent, wear makeup.
Some may feel they’re not good at it or would rather not do it if they could avoid it, though… Remember the “completely different person” makeup that was a hot topic for a while thanks to Harachan from the comedy duo Universe? It’s also known as plastic-surgery makeup or “deception” makeup.
For those who usually keep things simple with a natural look, this might be the perfect party trick to liven things up.
Make full use of colored contacts and false eyelashes to become a different you and amaze everyone!
disposable chopstick bottle opener
When you’re drinking and can’t find a bottle opener nearby, you can actually use a pair of disposable chopsticks to open it easily! This trick works on crown caps, like the ones on bottled beer.
First, grip the area around the cap firmly with one hand.
Then hook an un-split pair of chopsticks into the gap between the crown cap and the bottle, and use it as a lever—push the chopsticks with a quick, strong motion, and the cap will pop right off! If you pull this off smoothly when everyone’s stuck without an opener, you’ll look effortlessly capable.
The key point is not to slowly apply pressure over time, but to add force in one swift, decisive motion.
If you take too long, the cap may not come off easily and the drink might get warm, so be careful.
animal impersonation
Let’s try to recreate the animals you see at zoos, aquariums, and in documentaries by paying attention to the finer details.
By expressing not only their cute side but also various scenes from their lives, you can convey an appealing contrast in the performer as well.
It seems like a performance where boldly and energetically portraying each animal—recreating their expressions and acting with the whole body—is key.
Focusing on animals’ unique gestures and reproducing those movements could also make for a lively quiz format where the audience guesses which animal is being portrayed.
mental arithmetic
Women who are good with numbers have that capable career-woman vibe—it’s really cool, isn’t it? If you often deal with figures, why not show off your impressive skills with some mental math? Flash anzan, where you quickly calculate numbers as they appear on the screen, looks seriously cool when you can do it.
There are videos for flash anzan available on video sites, so you can easily give it a try using those.
It might also be fun to mentally calculate whatever numbers people around you call out, one after another.
Go ahead and channel that “competent woman” energy and put your well-trained skills to work right here!
Stocking Sumo
There probably aren’t many people who’ve actually tried “stocking sumo,” right? You often see female comedians doing it on TV variety shows.
You tie two pairs of pantyhose together, pull them over your heads, and tug against each other.
Then you end up broadcasting your ridiculous faces to the whole nation.
Let’s do that as a party stunt.
Just remember there’s a risk someone might record a video and preserve it forever!
