[Comedy Skit] A Roundup of One-Liner Gags Recommended for High School Students!

Are we drilling or not? (Kansai dialect comedic phrase)

Suchiko and Hiroshi Yoshida's “Are you gonna drill or not?” class

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.

Imitating sounds with a recorder

[One-off joke] An ambulance with a recorder #shorts

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.

[10 Baseball Gags] Somaō Meatball’s Club-Usable Jokes

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!

Ratata Dance

♬ 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.

Bikkuri Donkey’s

If you belong to an athletic club, it might be fun to use your proud physique to do some gags.

For example, cross your bulging arms to mimic the “cheese on a Bikkuri Donkey hamburger,” or show off your six-pack and call it a “six-tatami room.” Try getting laughs with “physical impressions” instead of vocal ones! If you’re skinny and scrawny, go with “toothpick,” and if you’re a bit chubby, “pork loin ham”—self-deprecating jokes like these are always a hit.

And don’t forget to use your club gear, like your racket or glove, as props.

yesterday, today, and tomorrow

@ken.nakano

I don't understand the gag title.#KenNakano#ComedyOne-shot gag

♪ Original Song – Kennakano – Kennakano

Combining similar-sounding words to make puns is a long-standing technique.

In fact, it’s said that wordplay existed as far back as the Nara period, so there should be plenty of similar words you can use for material.

One set similar to “yesterday, today, tomorrow” is “right brain, a hard hit, did it,” which is hilarious if you perform it with gestures—simple and absolutely funny! You could also morph “weekend” into “wig pea,” and show a pea wearing a wig.

Turn typing errors and misheard phrases into material one after another!

May I have another serving?

♫ Original Song – Oshay Miyamoto – Oshay Miyamoto

In horror videos on TikTok and YouTube, the line “Owakari itadaketa darou ka?” (“Were you able to understand/see that?”) pops up a lot.

Turning it into a parody as “Okawari itadakeru darou ka?” (“May I have seconds?”) could be handy in lots of situations.

The best timing for this gag would be when you’re eating a boxed lunch or when everyone’s eating together in the school cafeteria! Form a duo: one person eats normally, and the other seriously announces, “Okawari itadakeru darou ka?” I can already picture the explosive laughter when it lands.

I hope this gag makes your fun lunchtime even more fun!
