[Comedy Skit] A Batch Introduction to One-Liner Gags Recommended for High Schoolers! (11–20)
ASICS
@kuropafuu A one-liner gag you can use starting tomorrow.#ComedyOne-shot gag#GagFootOctopus#Takoyaki#NSC43rdTermYoshimotoSneakersComedy entertainerFashionable#StayAtHomeSquadkuro#VivaBebop#IWantToBeOnTheRecommendationsASICS
Original song – Viva Bebop – Kuro
While saying, “Legs are growing out,” you mime pulling legs out of your body.
After you’ve pulled out six legs, you say, “Six legs… ASICS!” to get a laugh.
It’s a pun on “ashi” (legs) and “six,” landing on the sports brand.
Anyone who knows ASICS might see the punchline coming, but that’s exactly why the joke is easy for everyone to get.
If you perform it while wearing ASICS shoes, it ties the setup and payoff together and might get an even bigger laugh.
SpongeBob
The American animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, set in Bikini Bottom at the bottom of the sea, has been loved by people of all ages since it began airing in the U.S.
in 1999.
It’s also gained popularity in Japan, where plenty of merchandise has been sold.
And here’s a quick gag that uses SpongeBob.
SpongeBob looks like he’s picking a fight, acting all tough and aggressive, but in reality he’s trying to intimidate people with his own pants! It’s super easy to do, so if you like SpongeBob, give it a try.
Lips stung by a bee
@morio_hanashi You can use my boyfriend for a one-shot gag.#tiktok Summer FestivalHigh school studentDon't let COVID defeat usOne-shot gagPaper wasp
♪ Original song – Hanashimorio – Hanashimorio
This is a party trick anyone can do easily, with no preparation.
The idea is simple: stick out your tongue and pretend it’s your upper lip to recreate lips swollen from a bee sting.
The humor really depends on the setup.
Show, with gestures, what kind of bee flew in and how it landed.
Then suddenly stick out your tongue for a strong impact.
Adding some unique sound effects can work well too.
Two outfits and a stomachache
@pmwkga The moment the whole classroom freezes after a one-shot gag lol#StomachacheBroRecommendationOne-shot gag
♬ Original song – Yuuki – I Can Walk on Stilts
It’s a gag where you step forward asking, “What hurts?” and, while showing two pieces of clothing, you say “stomachache.” The joke hinges on the Japanese pun: two is ‘tsū,’ which sounds like ‘fukutsū’ (stomachache).
Since you only need two garments, you can pull it off anytime—just borrow a friend’s jacket if needed.
The content is simple, so you can perform it for anyone.
However, it’s a very short gag, so it’s crucial to deliver it briskly and with confidence.
When you say the punchline—‘stomachache’—show no embarrassment; strike a funny pose and declare it with flair!
Moving baseball
https://www.tiktok.com/@yakyukan/video/7567316478941318408This is a gag devised by the comedian Ganbaru Taro.
He swings a bat and sets it up with, “Was that a lineout to short?” then follows with, “Just a little more to center.” It’s a play on the Art Moving Center commercial jingle.
Many of you have probably heard it before.
Perform it in front of your baseball-loving friends and the place is sure to be filled with laughter! Ganbaru Taro has many other gags as well, so if you’re interested, go check them out.
This is bad, really bad.Tetsurō Degawa
Degawa Tetsurō’s gag “Yabai yo, yabai yo” (Oh no, oh no!)—hugely popular for his real reactions and humor—is sure to be a hit at school too! The great thing about this gag is that you can use it in any school situation to vividly convey what’s happening in the moment.
Its simple wording makes it easy for friends around you to understand and get what kind of gag it is.
Try performing it as a quick one-shot joke at school to liven up the mood!
Teacher gagYes! Akito
Teacher gags might be considered a classic crowd-pleaser at school.
This one is a bit different: it teaches a collection of fail-safe phrases that are commonly used in any subject.
It’s really funny how each subject is captured so precisely in just a few words, and the order is brilliant too.
Without a good sense of style, it would be hard to trim things down this much and still convey everything, wouldn’t it? It’s a lot of fun, so you should give it a try too.
To Pallet Town
@somaomeatball SOMAO Meatball#SomaoMeatballsThat's right.All That's Manzai#Loveit#WhatNogareWhatBeauty#YouTube#Somao Meatball Bento BoxRecommendation#Gagtrend; fad; in fashion#ComedyOne-shot gag#MidnightHoney
♬ Original song – Somaō Meatball – Somaō Meatball
Somao Meatball is known for his fearless personality.
He might not be that familiar outside the Kansai region yet, but he’s popular enough to fill Yoshimoto’s ZAZA Theater all by himself.
He’s a comedy talent right on the verge of a breakout, and his routine that starts with “Masara Town ni sayonara baibai” really packs a punch.
You could even use it as a comeback when a teacher or senior scolds you.
In the latter half, he drops a punny gag: “Ore wa Okinawa no Naha ni iru shimanchu, shimanchu,” playing on Pikachu and shimanchu (islanders).
Even people who don’t know Pokémon—please make sure to bring them into the fun too!
Distinctive way of speaking & quips that don’t hurt peoplePekopa Shoinji Taiyu
Pekopa, whose comebacks never blame others, are hugely popular with kids.
Comebacks that don’t hurt anyone—like theirs—will make everyone in the class laugh and create a peaceful, fun atmosphere.
If you always try to think of comebacks that don’t pin the blame on someone, you’ll become more positive toward yourself too, and even when you mess up, you’ll likely still feel cheerful.
Shadowboxing so vigorously that you end up brushing your teeth
Here’s a one-shot gag by an ordinary high school student living in Osaka.
It’s a clever bit that overlays the movements and sounds of boxing and toothbrushing, and it’s great because it inspires other ideas too.
Think of things that have slightly similar sounds or movements but are totally unrelated, and try connecting them.
If you perform it confidently without being shy, it’ll be twice as funny.
Of course, a bit of amateurishness can be a charming spice, so just have fun with it!
