One-Hit Gags That Go Over Well at Parties and Events, Recommended for Women (21–30)
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!
Juggling
Juggling is one of the party tricks I recommend for women: you can practice quietly on your own and perform it even in a small space.
That said, controlling juggling balls with both hands on different timings is quite tricky for beginners.
Here’s a handy shortcut: use just one hand to manipulate two balls, and with the other hand simply hold a ball and move it in a way that looks like a difficult trick.
Since you only need to focus on the movement of one hand, even first-timers can master it relatively easily! Once you get used to it, try moving on to more advanced tricks that use both hands.
One-Shot Gags That Kill at Parties or as Entertainment, Recommended for Women (31–40)
tongue twister
As entertainment, tongue twisters are a safe and fun option even if you’re not good at party tricks or impressions! There’s a wide variety—from classic ones that combine words you don’t usually use, to longer sentences that are easier to tackle if you prepare in advance.
Plus, they don’t require any special props and can be tried easily anywhere, which is part of their charm.
They’re also great for getting a group excited when you race against the clock! And the laughter that comes from slip-ups only adds to the fun.
Yoga poses
Yoga as a party skit? You might be surprised, but yoga has all kinds of poses—some are so funny you can’t help but chuckle! If you perform those poses with ultra-serious commitment, they’ll land as a perfect gag.
It’s a one-shot joke that’s especially fitting for women who prefer slow, gentle exercise.
If you already attend yoga classes, pick the pose from your own experience that you think would get the biggest laugh.
The key when doing this is to be completely serious.
If you crack up yourself, the impact is cut in half, so keep a very earnest expression and lean into the deadpan vibe!
Cosplay impersonations of trending anime characters
How about going all out with cosplay and impressions of anime characters? For popular characters, you can even find ready-made cosplay kits.
Or, as a fun gag, it might be good to gather materials from a 100-yen shop and make your own.
If it’s a well-known character that everyone recognizes, even if your impression isn’t that accurate, the cosplay might carry it through (lol).
Characters from anime that are currently trending will be especially exciting.
Chugging a carbonated drink
Chugging a carbonated drink—what are you going to do if you burp! Normally, many women might hate the idea.
But if you feel like cutting loose and pumping up the energy once in a while, why not try a combo of chugging a fizzy drink and saying a tongue twister? If you’re among close female friends, you might not need to worry so much.
The rules are simple: just down the soda in one go, then say a tongue twister.
Q Taro Suzuki from the comedy duo Hiking Walking used to do this a lot, right? You can do the same by naming all the Yamanote Line stations, or by tackling a tricky tongue twister.
Let’s throw caution to the wind and have a blast!
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!
