One-Shot Gags That Kill at Parties or as Entertainment, Recommended for Women (31–40)
“Let’s Go! Phantom Thief Girls” danceMomoiro Clover Z
The hit all-female group Momoiro Clover Z’s “Ikuze! Kaitō Shōjo” is a great song to mimic for a singing impression.
Since you can do it with multiple people, it cuts down on the embarrassment, and just wearing different colors makes it look the part.
Another plus is that the dance isn’t too complicated.
It’s even better if you assign roles to match the members’ personalities.
Sometimes deliberately mismatching can actually get laughs and make it more fun.
Definitely give it a try at least once!
LOVE MachineMorning Musume
Many people know Morning Musume’s “LOVE Machine.” Just swing your hands left and right to the beat or copy a few simple moves, and smiles will quickly spread.
The energetic dance makes people around you naturally want to sway along, instantly brightening the atmosphere.
If you call out to each other in time with the song, the sense of togetherness at the party will jump way up! It’s an easy, low-pressure dance, so even first-timers are fine.
People around you will get drawn in and start dancing too, and everyone will end up laughing together and having a blast!
Eyelash Toothpick Challenge
As a quirky party trick that gets everyone smiling at banquets or drinking parties, the “Eyelash Toothpick Challenge” is super fun.
Balance a toothpick directly on your own eyelashes or gently on false lashes, and compete to see who can keep it from falling the longest! It’s a light, slightly nerve‑racking game that sparks laughter.
Perfect for livening things up—cheer each other on with a friendly “You’ve got this!” and the mood will naturally warm up.
The best tip: relax and just have fun!
Finger tutting
Finger tutting is a dance that began gaining attention in the United States around 2008 and has since become widely recognized in Japan, using the fingers, wrists, and arms to express a variety of movements.
The waves, geometric shapes, and other patterns are astonishing—hard to believe they’re created with just the hands.
Since it requires no props and doesn’t need a large space like typical dances, it’s perfect for indoor group hangouts.
Why not start practicing steadily now so you’re ready to show it off?
tambourine performance
Are you familiar with the tambourine performance act? Normally, you hold a tambourine in one hand and tap it with the other to keep the rhythm.
But in tambourine performance, you don’t just use your hands—you hit the tambourine with your stomach, your butt, your knees, and even your toes.
It might be more accurate to call it a dance.
At first it looks like a normal performance, but the tempo gradually speeds up, and the light, poppy moves in the chorus are guaranteed to get the crowd going!
Recommended entertainment for those who can cast aside their femininity
A sideshow where you throw away your femininity—that’s quite a title, isn’t it? Not just a full-body tights suit, but white face paint, and outrageously quirky cheeks with nose hair… the title doesn’t lie (lol).
It’s not something most people could pull off, but it would absolutely kill and become an unforgettable memory—for both the audience and the performers.
The impact is strong, but the message still comes through clearly.
Chuei’s one-shot gag
Many of Chuei from Nagareboshi’s one-shot gags are the kind that make you burst out laughing.
Since many of them are short and high-energy, they’re perfect for drinking parties and banquet entertainment! It might feel a bit embarrassing for women to do facial gags, but making funny faces to get laughs is a big key point.
Do your best and ride the momentum to pull it off.
Relatable things annoying women do
If you’re drinking in a group with lots of women, “annoying-girl clichés” are a great choice.
They spark that “I know someone like this!” feeling while getting laughs.
Since it’s meant to be funny, it’s best to exaggerate a bit and mimic them in an entertaining way.
Just be careful—if the model is too close to home, it can kill the mood, so choose your material wisely.
A Head-Dropping!? Illusion Magic
Here’s the “Neck Drop!? Illusion Magic” that illusionist Cyril performed and made famous.
Of course, there’s a trick to it, but it’s simple—why not give it a try? You’ll need to practice the timing, but it works whether you do it solo or line up with a group.
It’s guaranteed to blow the audience’s mind!
Dance ‘What is Love?’Twice
How about everyone dancing to TWICE’s “What is Love?” from the K-pop group? When you think of K-pop groups, you think of dance, right? The choreography is cute, but the moves are pretty quick, so it doesn’t seem easy to learn.
However, if you can pull it off, it will definitely hype everyone up! The “question mark dance” in the chorus is adorable, too.
