One-liner gags (1–10) that are a hit as party skits/acts recommended for men
Yaa! Power!Nakayama Kinnikun
Mr.
Kinnikun Nakayama is hugely popular even among Gen Z.
His gags where he shows off his muscles and shouts “Yaa!” or “Power!” are known by everyone.
You often see him not just on TV shows, but also on YouTube and in commercials, so his recognition is high across generations.
If you’re thinking of doing a one-shot gag for impact, he’d be a perfect reference, wouldn’t he? There’s also his line where he asks his muscles, “Which is it?!”—it seems like you could apply that not only to muscles but in various ways, so why not try it as an inside joke or with a hot topic at your gathering?
Junichi Davidson’s impression of Keisuke Honda
He started as a comedian in 1997 and, after 18 tough years, the tears he shed when he won the 2015 R-1 Grand Prix were truly beautiful.
If you can do an impression of soccer player Keisuke Honda, then of course you can probably do an impression of Junichi Davidson too! If you go blonde and wear black sunglasses, you might resemble him even more! His best bit is the one where he wears a watch on each wrist.
For example, he looks at the watch on his right wrist and says, “It’s 9 p.m.—oh wait, no, this one’s Milan time.” The skit with the ridiculously long scarf that was a hot topic for a while is also very funny.
Damn it!Ko-Ume Dayu
It might take a bit of courage to perform Koume Dayu’s routine, but with full-on makeup and costume, you’ll be so transformed that people won’t even recognize you—making it easier to get into character and have fun.
The comedy relies less on the content of the lines and more on the presence and the atmosphere before and after, so it could be approachable even for beginners.
You don’t have to worry too much about facial expressions or phrasing, but make sure to deliver the final catchphrase with perfect timing—loudly and with full energy!
One-Liner Jokes That Kill at Parties: Top Picks for Men (11–20)
Don’t worry! I’m wearing them!Yasumura, Always Cheerful
I’m Yasumura, the always-cheerful comedian who broke out with a simple gag: constantly striking poses that make it look like I’m not wearing any clothes.
Since I’m almost naked, it’s a high bar to imitate, but if you perform it at a guys-only event, it’s guaranteed to be a huge hit.
Ear delinquentsViking Kotoge
This is a one-shot gag that requires a lot of mental toughness.
I can’t say everyone will find it funny, but those it clicks with will get really into it.
If you hesitate, it won’t land, so go all in, ditch the embarrassment, and it’ll be entertaining.
It’s a one-shot gag that takes guts.
If you prepare the next bit and plan what to do if it doesn’t hit, you might get rid of that hesitation.
Let’s turn back time.Pekopa Shoinji Taiyu
Pekopa, the comedy duo that made it to the finals of the 2019 M-1 Grand Prix and caused a stir.
The one delivering the tsukkomi to the free-spirited Shupei is Taiyu Shoinji.
In addition to his distinctive movements reminiscent of Kyosuke Himuro in his prime and his unique way of speaking, his non-negative tsukkomi is fresh and popular! How about trying one of his signature lines, “Let’s turn back time,” as a one-shot gag? There should be plenty of natural situations to use it—like when you make a blunder at a drinking party or bomb after trying another gag!
Ringing New Year’s bellsYes! Akito
There are times when you’re suddenly asked to do a quick gag as entertainment, right? This particular one-liner is a funny bit where you pretend to be a baseball player while singing and ring the New Year’s bell.
You can hype it up even more by choosing a song that matches the age group of your audience.
It’s also a good idea to incorporate baseball elements like pitching form, batting, or even play-by-play commentary.
When you perform, it’s important to create an atmosphere where everyone can enjoy it.
Give it a try!
