Top 10 one-shot gags that are a hit at parties or as entertainment, recommended for women
One-shot gags and impression bits
Doesn’t everyone have one or two? Let’s try a one-shot gag! The most common one is probably impressions, right? From animal impressions to celebrity impressions, even those super niche ones that hardly anyone gets can be a hit.
Imitations of people you know—like their quirks in how they talk—are also a huge crowd-pleaser.
It’s great fun when you do it with a big group, and even if it doesn’t land, you can blend into the crowd (lol).
Mario sound effects
If you want an unusual impression, there’s the sound effect of Mario jumping in games.
You use your nose to make the sound, so it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of it.
When someone at a party asks, “Got anything?” you can say, “Well, actually…” and show it off—it really livens things up.
Surprisingly few people can do it, so if you teach them, everyone can have fun together.
Place a toothpick on your eyelashesNEW!
A fun one-shot party trick that’s easy for women to pull off is balancing toothpicks on your eyelashes.
Don’t stop at one—challenge yourself to see how many you can stack.
One by itself isn’t much, but as you get two, three, and more toothpicks resting on your lashes, the crowd will really get into it.
It also looks great in photos, so it might be perfect when you want to capture some fun memories.
There’s no practice required, so go ahead and give it a try.
You could even use false eyelashes just for the occasion.
A magic trick that multiplies banknotes
A one-shot trick that makes you think, “Wouldn’t it be great if bills just kept multiplying?”—it’s the magic trick where paper money increases.
The method is simple: hide an extra bill in your collar area, and when you bend one arm, quietly shift it into your palm.
Then pretend to rub the bill, combine it with the hidden one in your other hand, and ta-da! It’s multiplied!
Advice for everyoneYuriyan Retriever
If you use Yuriyan Retriever’s routines, even women can go for big laughs! A recommended, easy-to-copy bit is the one where she gives advice to everyone.
Her signature catchphrase, “Ochitsuite iki ya~” (“Take it easy, okay?”), paired with everyday relatable moments, really gets people laughing.
It might hype things up if you include some workplace ‘we’ve-all-been-there’ scenarios, too.
recorder performanceNEW!
If you’re looking for a quick musical gag, how about using a recorder? You probably associate the recorder with playing children’s songs, but you can play popular tunes on it as well.
There are plenty of performance videos out there, so you can just imitate them and practice.
Start by finding a song you like.
It’s already funny the moment you pull out a recorder that reminds people of grade school, and the crowd will get hyped when you launch into a popular song from there.
Chiemi Blouson’s “Career Woman” routine
It’s becoming a go-to act, isn’t it? Buruzon Chiemi’s “Career Woman.” The boom has died down a bit, but I think it’s a great performance because you can pack in lots of relatable “that’s so true” jokes.
What really gets a crowd going at these things are trendy bits and inside jokes, right? So load it up with inside jokes that only that group will understand, and put on your own “Career Woman” performance!
