♬ 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!
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.
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.
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!

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.
