unprecedented and unrepeatableSunshine Ikezaki
Sunshine Ikezaki’s routine is a recommended one-shot gag you can pull off as long as you’ve got the energy! The lines are a bit long, but since it’s a self-introduction bit, it should be easy to memorize.
If you speak loudly and clearly, it’s sure to be a big hit in the classroom.
As an advanced twist, you could also deliver your own self-introduction in Sunshine Ikezaki’s style.
On your marks, get set, go!

♫ Original Song – Comedy! Funny Video!! Smile Yagisawa (Dr. Princess) – The Shohei Ohtani of rap and gags! Smile Yagisawa (Dr. Princess)
I’ll introduce a one-shot gag based on “On your marks, get set, go!” Just when everyone expects you to dash off at the signal, don’t run—stay put, march in place, and shout loudly.
Then stop on a dime and say, “Urusain Bolt” (a pun combining “urusai,” meaning noisy, and “Usain Bolt”).
The key to success is how convincingly you set up the start, as if you’re about to explode out of the blocks.
Rapid high-knee stepping on the spot will likely get laughs, too.
Finish by belting out “Urusain Bolt” to bring the house down.
Adding a creative costume is also recommended.
Parody of a commercial
There are those famous commercials that everyone knows, right? How about doing a bit that uses a memorable line or jingle from one of those ads? The one introduced here is a skit based on CHOYA’s “Sararito Shita Umeshu” commercial.
To the melody used in the ad, they stroke their own arm and say, “smooth arm hair.” I’m sure there are other commercials you can use, so why not look around and come up with your own bit? Your original routine might just steal the laughs!
Are we drilling or not? (Kansai dialect comedic phrase)
How about performing the skit “Drill Sun no kai? Sen no kai?” which won first place in “Elementary Schoolers’ Choice!! The Hottest Gags Around Us! New Comedy’s Top Picks!!”? In this routine, you press a soft stick against your partner’s chest and twist it like a drill, then, at the moment that seems just right, you fake as if you’re going to drill—but don’t.
This is a bit that doesn’t work without a partner, and it’s important to keep a good rhythm and sync with them when you perform.
Some people don’t like being touched, so pair up with a close friend who’s comfortable with it.
baseball gag
If there are a lot of sports fans, how about trying some baseball jokes? This article introduces a total of 10 bits, including gags that use players’ names.
Many of the jokes feature famous players, and there are also bits that even people who don’t know much about baseball can understand.
Some routines use well-known anime songs, so they should appeal to a wide audience.
Each bit is short, which makes them easy to remember—another nice plus.
If you only rely on one routine and it doesn’t land, you’ll be in trouble, so memorize plenty of short gags!
Pain, pain, fly away
Kazato Sōgyōsai, who rapidly fires off gags on YouTube and TikTok, presents a slightly theatrical-style joke here.
The flow goes from “A little kid fell down,” to “Pain, pain, fly away!” and then lands with “4 meters 88 centimeters, a new record,” as if it were a track-and-field meet.
You think they’re talking to a child, and then it suddenly shifts to announcing an athletics record—that twist is the key to the humor.
Be sure to add variation in pacing when you try it.
stone
A perfect one-liner is funny because it blends both “That’s clever!” and “That’s dumb!” Start by announcing the title with lots of energy, then keep going.
Give everyone a moment to wonder, “A stone? How does that connect?” and deliver the punchline at that delicate moment when they’re just on the edge of getting it—or not.
It should make people think, “Wait, it was that simple?” and laugh at how a tiny spark of excitement got them—creating a warm, feel-good one-liner for the room.
Imitating sounds with a recorder
Let’s try performing a one-shot gag using the recorder that we often played in elementary school.
Simply playing a popular tune is more than enough, but if you want to show off something surprising and funny, how about recreating sounds you’d never expect to hear from a recorder? The example here is the sound of an ambulance.
It convincingly captures everything from the approaching wail to the sound as it moves away.
If you didn’t know it was a recorder, you might mistake it for a real ambulance.
Too expensive
@nn0nnn0n9 One-shot Gag [Diaper That's Way Too High]#MonMonOne-shot gagImitate this
♪ Original Song – MonMon – MonMon 🐳📈
An unconventional comedian who makes a living by showcasing gags on social media instead of working a part-time job, Monmon’s material is also recommended for high school students.
Most of the gags are short, so they’re perfect for covering up a brief moment of awkwardness.
There are over a thousand gags uploaded as videos—be sure to find the bits that suit you! Among them, the go-to “If you can’t decide, try this!” gag is “Diapers That Are Way Too Expensive.” To the melody of the Moony Man diaper commercial, you sing, “Disposable diapers, 120,000 yen,” and then you do a little dance while chanting, “How delightful, how delightful, panpaka-paan!”—that whole sequence is one set.
The key to getting laughs is to deliver the gags back-to-back without a pause!
Ratata Dance
@seigou_go_ #RatataDanceone-shot gagOne-shot gag#GagRatata#Dance#RatataDance#3rd generation#jsbI messed up.
♬ Original song – Tsuji Hashtag – seigou_go_
Parody versions of songs everyone knows are a classic type of gag.
So it might be fun to make a one-shot joke using a parody of “Rat-tat-tat” by Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS from EXILE TRIBE, which was the dance track for USJ’s Halloween Horror Nights for many years up to 2022.
Play the song on your phone, look totally ready to dance during the intro, then the moment the song starts, comically stumble and say, “I sprained it, I sprained it”—how about that? The sudden shift from tension to mishap should get a big laugh! It also sounds fun to create a crowd-pleasing parody together.
Go hype things up with everyone at the back of the classroom or at the end of the hallway.
