One-shot gag: 'Stone' #highschooler #one_shot_gag #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.

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

♬ 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

♪ Original song – Hasebe – Hasebe

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!

Punch the person next to you.

One-shot Gag: A gag that blew up like crazy on TikTok!! #shorts

This is a one-shot gag where the gap between “cute” and “scary” creates the laughs.

You sing lyrics that suggest aggression to the tune of “Sakuranbo,” a song that’s practically synonymous with “cute.” The trick is to lean all the way into the cuteness when you sing.

Perform brightly and innocently, with angelic, carefree charm.

It might land even better if a man sings it or if there’s a big contrast overall.

Aim for that reaction of “So cute! … Wait, that’s scary,” and get a chuckle from the whiplash.

♫ 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!
