My cutest charm is getting into the rhythm and singing while pouring my feelings into the lyrics.

The key is to name the tastiest item on the menu at the shop, then unexpectedly mention a favorite that’s not the obvious choice.

By saying a menu item that makes the audience think, “Oh, that’s what you picked?” you might get a big laugh.

Keep the rhythm snappy, clear, and easy to follow.

Including items from a school cafeteria menu can make it feel familiar and help the audience picture it more easily.

Fulcrum, point of effort, point of action

♪ Original Song – Kazato Founding Festival – Kazato Founding Festival

This is a gag by Kazato Sōgyōsai that’s posted on TikTok.

First, give a serious explanation of the fulcrum, effort, and load.

It works well to use your elbow as an example.

After you finish the explanation, shout energetically, “A Hadoken that messes all that up!” and fire a Hadoken like Goku from Dragon Ball.

Rhythm and energy are key, so practice it many times.

Kazato Sōgyōsai shares lots of other gags on social media too, so if you’re looking for new material, definitely check them out!

If you’re looking for a short gag, we recommend “Hop Step” by the YouTuber duo Sharks.

There isn’t much acting involved, so even shy people will find it easy to try.

The flow is simple: follow the rhythm of “hop, step, jump,” but swap “jump” with “shampoo.” The tempo is catchy, so everyone ends up laughing naturally.

There’s a follow-up, too: “As a bonus, leans—sara-sara, sara-sara—salaryman.” The latter part riffs on the melody from the well-known “Sara-saaty” commercial jingle.

Use the short or long version depending on the situation where you perform the gag!

Jikabi Sabugini

While saying “Jikabi Sabugini,” we’ll strike various poses.

We recommend keeping the poses simple, easy to imitate, and easy to understand.

Make sure to coordinate your poses closely with the people doing it together.

Since gloomy expressions don’t convey fun very well, it’s key to keep things bright—and even throw in some funny faces.

If you include an unexpected pose that makes people around you think, “That pose?!” it might get everyone roaring with laughter.

Definitely give it a try!

A one-shot gag from Shin, a YouTuber who speaks the Tsugaru dialect.

The font used for the video’s subtitles has a nostalgic 2000s vibe and looks great, but the main gag itself is pretty solid too! The first one, “Sekizui hazusu” (literally “remove the spinal cord”), is a parody of the Sekisui House commercial.

Do you know the gag “Saikou! Saikou! Saikou!” by Katamari Mizukawa, the straight man of Kuuki Kaidan, champions of King of Conte 2021? Katamari, who usually seems very quiet, suddenly shouts it loudly, so some people might be startled.

Even his partner, Mogura, says it’s pretty rare.

It’s easy for anyone to imitate, so give it a try at school!

A hot topic on Omoshiro-so! Hyokkori-han [skit]—moves you can’t help but imitate! [Yoshimoto Young Performers Festival]
Peekaboo gag Hyokkori-han

Hyokkori-han, who became a huge hit on “Omoshiro-so” in 2018.

Even Haruka Ayase burst into laughter, didn’t she? The style of firing off short gags one after another is perfect for students who want to get to the punchline quickly.

Since the basic idea is just popping your face out from unexpected places, you might not need much practice time.

How about setting up bits using things around school—like poking your face out from a textbook, from a chalk eraser, or from inside a vaulting box? Be sure to prepare the background music too; you can find it by searching for “Hyokkori-han.”
