If you can play the guitar or piano, why not try performing parody songs like Tatsuou Kamon? Of course, even if you can’t play an instrument, you can still perform by singing alone, so don’t worry.

Parodying the lyrics of well-known songs into something humorous is an easy-to-understand form of comedy that works in almost any setting.

It’ll be even more exciting if you tailor the lyrics to inside jokes from the occasion.

“I’m ___.” impression/impersonationGanbareruya Yoshiko

Yoshiko from Ganbareruya, who has been showing off her versatility by appearing not only on variety shows but also in dramas.

One of her go-to bits on TV is an extremely forceful impression! It’s questionable whether you can even call it an impression, but she pulls a powerful face and declares the name of a celebrity (lol).

Of course, it doesn’t need to resemble them at all—just go all in with a striking expression and try doing an impression of a handsome actor!

If you put on a tight T-shirt, a tank top, bloomers, and sunglasses, you’re all set to become Masashi Kumada! So how about borrowing his act and giving it a try? It would be a perfect bit for a scene where you’re doing a solo party trick, right? Recently, it seems the full costume is sold as a set, and each item looks easy to get.

For material, how about using relatable everyday “been there” situations from around you? Just don’t forget the gimmick to move the sunglasses—that’ll carry you through!

Yume-chan performs the buzzworthy “I want to eat pancakes” live; makes her PR event debut with a new routine as well.

Gurunai Omoshiro-so is broadcast every New Year’s Eve.

Despite airing only once a year, the show has produced many popular stars, including Natsuko Yokozawa, Kumamushi, Blouson Chiemi with B, and Hyokkori-han.

Masaru Yumeya is also one of the breakout stars from Gurunai Omoshiro-so.

His rhythmic gag, set to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s Harajuku Iyahoi, where he sings “I want to eat pancakes, I want to eat pancakes…,” became an instant sensation.

If a usually tough-looking guy acts a bit delicate and performs this bit, it’s guaranteed to bring the house down! Be sure to come up with lots of one-liner gags to follow up “I want to eat pancakes,” too!

Bambino

Bambino burst onto the scene like a comet at the 2014 King of Conte.

Their most iconic rhythm-based bit, “Danson,” gets stuck in your head after just one listen.

The routine goes that when they chant the Danson spell, their quarry—a deer?—calms down and can be captured with ease.

The spell hasn’t been officially published, but by ear it sounds like: “Danson, Fiza-kee, Tootha-tee-saza, Konson.” The shout “Nibura,” used at the moment of capture, also became hugely popular.

Since it’s a bit that can’t be done solo, be sure to recruit a partner!
