A fun penalty game recommended for men

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.
POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

At club or company drinking parties, mixers, and other banquets, it’s pretty common for the loser of a game to do a penalty, isn’t it?

Even a small penalty makes a big difference in how lively things get!

But when it’s time to actually do one, it’s often hard to come up with something easy and quick.

So in this article, we’ll introduce a bunch of penalty ideas especially recommended for men.

We’ve gathered options ranging from light and easy to a bit more challenging, so please use them as a reference.

Be sure to enjoy them with moderation—avoid bothering those around you, and make sure nothing leads to injuries or trouble!

Hype-Inducing Punishment Games Recommended for Men (41–50)

I snapped 20 rubber bands at once and it hurt like hell...!?

When it comes to classic punishment games, the rubber band snap is a staple! Despite its striking impact, all you need is a rubber band and it’s quick and easy to do—that seems to be the secret to its popularity.

Like in this video, using lots of rubber bands might make it even more exciting.

However, depending on the strength of the bands, there’s a risk of injury, so please be very careful to avoid any serious accidents!

Punishment Game: Going to the Zoo Alone — Koyanagi Edition

Alone at the zoo

If we’re talking about a punishment game that’s even more daunting than taking a photo booth pic alone, it would be going to the zoo by yourself.

The zoo is fun when you go with family, a partner, or friends, but in this case you have to go alone.

You’ll probably feel self-conscious about how others see you and lonely because there’s no one to share the fun with.

Not being able to enjoy a place that’s supposed to be enjoyable is a subtly tough punishment.

Driver’s license photo reveal

[Leaked] Aren’t YouTubers’ driver’s license photos always hilarious?

Driver's license photo reveal

Do you all post photos of your face on social media? Everyone picks and uploads the ones where they look at least a little good, right? But for some reason, driver’s license photos are often unflattering—they make you look older, your complexion looks bad, and they’re just not satisfying.

That seems to be the common belief.

I’ve never heard anyone say they like how theirs turned out.

And nobody really wants to show it voluntarily.

So how about making it a penalty game to show your driver’s license photo? It’s the kind of forfeit that can spark more conversation and get the group hyped up again.

A Story That Never Fails (to Get Laughs)

[Unreleased Footage] A Masai Story That Never Fails to Get Laughs!?

A Story That Never Fails (to Get Laughs)

Let’s incorporate the TV show ‘Suberanai Hanashi’ as a penalty game.

Doesn’t everyone have at least one foolproof story that never falls flat? If you share it in front of everyone, it’ll definitely liven things up! If someone says “Suberannā” (“That didn’t fall flat”), the penalty game is over, but if your story does flop, then tell a different one.

to look on longingly from outside the restaurant

This is probably one of those embarrassing penalty games.

From outside the glass window of a nearby restaurant, look in with your fingers in your mouth.

Be careful not to be mistaken for a suspicious person.

Since there wasn’t a video of it, please refer to a cute video of a kitty with its fingers in its mouth instead.

It might be better for very respectable adults not to try this.
