One-shot gags that will get laughs: recommended skits/acts for men (21–30)
What about Kisama?Daigo of Chidori
Daigo from the comedy duo Chidori—who you often see on variety shows and in TV commercials—suddenly blurts out the line “Kisāma wa?” in a SmartNews ad.
He’d been talking normally up to that point, so plenty of people probably burst out laughing at such an out-of-left-field remark.
If you try slipping this line into a casual conversation at a party—just like in the commercial—it’s sure to get a laugh! When the moment’s right, go ahead and give it a bold try!
OK, Shaka Jizo! Ziyaa!emperor
Koutei, a comedy duo that won the 2020 ABC Comedy Grand Prix, has been getting a lot of attention.
Among their material, they each have a catchphrase-like gag they often shout: Shimoda’s “OK Shaka Jizo!!” and Kujo’s “Zii-ya!!” Plan it in advance with a friend you’re close to so that when you say “OK Shaka Jizo!!,” they immediately fire back with “Zii-ya!!” It doesn’t make any sense at all, but the sound and rhythm are catchy and addictive! Try copying their funny faces and hand gestures when you say it, too!
I’ve just received 〇〇!Milk Boy
The comedy duo Milkboy, who won the 2019 M-1 Grand Prix, have a bit they use as an opening in their manzai where they say, “We just received [blank]!” The choices they make—ranging from tiny things to huge ones—are so spot-on they make you chuckle.
And when they immediately follow it up with, “You can never have too many of these,” it really makes you want to retort, “No one needs that!!” (lol).
At drinking parties, it’s fun to prep some material beforehand, or just improvise and adapt it on the spot!
At your feet and at your handsMoriseiju
How about trying Moriseiju’s easy party trick, “At Your Feet, Your Chopstick Rest,” which you can do anywhere with just a single disposable chopstick? It made a splash when it appeared on the New Year’s Day show “Welcome to Omoshiro-so!” in 2017.
Even though it’s simple, there are multiple places and patterns for placing the chopstick rest, so you do need to learn the moves well while keeping time with the music.
Don’t you feel like rhythm-based bits rarely flop? And once you hear “At Your Feet, Your Chopstick Rest,” it totally sticks in your head—super addictive, and guaranteed to get everyone hooked.
gorgeous
How about Gorgeous, who became popular for his eccentric costumes and dad jokes delivered with a globe in hand? It’s funny when he points to the globe and says, “Right here!” His unforgettable look and gags are sure to liven up the venue.
chugging a cola
It’s about chugging a cola and attempting various challenges without burping.
You can try things like tongue twisters or naming the stations on the loop line.
However, it’s actually funnier if you end up burping along the way, so if you feel one coming, just let it out!
Self-introduction of PecoPa’s Taiyu ShoinjiPekopa Shoinji Taiyu
Matsui Taiju Shoinji, the straight man of the comedy duo Pekopa who made waves by reaching the M-1 Grand Prix finals.
It’s surprising that he plays the straight man despite his distinctive look—makeup and either traditional Japanese clothing or colorful suits—and his suave, debonair persona really stands out.
His self-introductions are especially charming, featuring unique movements and his trademark suave character.
If you try imitating him, you’ll probably get a great reaction.
