Fulcrum, point of effort, point of action

It's the 42nd day.One-shot gagDaily post

♪ Original Song – Kazato Founding Festival – Kazato Founding Festival

This is a gag by Kazato Sōgyōsai that’s posted on TikTok.

First, give a serious explanation of the fulcrum, effort, and load.

It works well to use your elbow as an example.

After you finish the explanation, shout energetically, “A Hadoken that messes all that up!” and fire a Hadoken like Goku from Dragon Ball.

Rhythm and energy are key, so practice it many times.

Kazato Sōgyōsai shares lots of other gags on social media too, so if you’re looking for new material, definitely check them out!

A hot topic on Omoshiro-so! Hyokkori-han [skit]—moves you can’t help but imitate! [Yoshimoto Young Performers Festival]
Peekaboo gag Hyokkori-han

Hyokkori-han, who became a huge hit on “Omoshiro-so” in 2018.

Even Haruka Ayase burst into laughter, didn’t she? The style of firing off short gags one after another is perfect for students who want to get to the punchline quickly.

Since the basic idea is just popping your face out from unexpected places, you might not need much practice time.

How about setting up bits using things around school—like poking your face out from a textbook, from a chalk eraser, or from inside a vaulting box? Be sure to prepare the background music too; you can find it by searching for “Hyokkori-han.”

If you’re looking for a short gag, we recommend “Hop Step” by the YouTuber duo Sharks.

There isn’t much acting involved, so even shy people will find it easy to try.

The flow is simple: follow the rhythm of “hop, step, jump,” but swap “jump” with “shampoo.” The tempo is catchy, so everyone ends up laughing naturally.

There’s a follow-up, too: “As a bonus, leans—sara-sara, sara-sara—salaryman.” The latter part riffs on the melody from the well-known “Sara-saaty” commercial jingle.

Use the short or long version depending on the situation where you perform the gag!

Jikabi Sabugini

While saying “Jikabi Sabugini,” we’ll strike various poses.

We recommend keeping the poses simple, easy to imitate, and easy to understand.

Make sure to coordinate your poses closely with the people doing it together.

Since gloomy expressions don’t convey fun very well, it’s key to keep things bright—and even throw in some funny faces.

If you include an unexpected pose that makes people around you think, “That pose?!” it might get everyone roaring with laughter.

Definitely give it a try!

The biggest soccer in the world

One-shot gagThe biggest soccer in the world

♪ Original Song – Itton – Itton

Here’s a great gag for the soccer club: the “World’s Biggest Soccer.” Just pretend to kick the ground and say, “Playing soccer with the Earth.” It’s a cute joke where you’re “kicking the Earth instead of the ball.” Make sure to enjoy it with a punchline in Osaka dialect like “Nandeyanen!” or “Dekasugiruwa!” For the baseball club, you can customize it by tapping the ground with a bat and calling it the “World’s Biggest Baseball.” Tennis club, ping-pong club—everyone can join in and have fun with this “World’s Biggest ____” bit!

In conclusion

We’ve introduced lots of one-liner gags—did any seem doable for you? However you decide to show them off, the most important point is not to be shy.

Nail it with confidence and become everyone’s hero!
