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!
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.
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!
