One-Liner Gags That Will Kill at Parties/Shows for Men (31–40)
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.
Ooo-ja~Nobu (Chidori)
Chidori, whose catchphrase is “Okayama’s Manzai Boss.” Their manzai with Daigo and Nob unleashing full-on Okayama dialect is incredibly funny.
Watching Chidori makes you realize that even dialects once seen as a negative in Tokyo can become a powerful weapon depending on how you use them.
Nob’s “XX jaa~” is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that gets big laughs in any situation.
Not just “Kuse ga sugoi n jaa~,” but even tossing out a “XX jaa~” when you’re in a bind can bring down the comedy gods.
“Dai-XX jaa~” is another phrase Nob loves to use! It could be fun to find a partner and copy their manzai, too!
tray performanceAkira 100%
Akira 100% is famous for his act where he hides only the important parts with a single serving tray.
It’s hard to pull it off like the original, but if anything shows, it’s game over—so practice thoroughly.
It might be a good idea to make a video compiling just the successful takes and show that.
It’s a perfect act to perform in an all-male setting.
Peeking out from the shadowsPeekaboo-san
When you think of someone who suddenly became famous in 2018, he comes to mind, right? His material relies on creativity, so I actually think it’s easy to imitate.
If you’re going to go all out, it might be a good idea to get the costume and everything together.
It’s Saito-san, you know.Trend Angel Saito
A classic, easy-to-perform gag that everyone understands is “Saito-san da zo” by the comedy duo Trendy Angel’s Saito.
It’s a versatile one-liner that you can smoothly segue into from all sorts of topics! Plus, many people recognize the motion of straightening the jacket collar, so it’s clear and easy to convey—a truly universal bit.
If your last name is Saito, of course it’s perfect, but even if it isn’t, try boldly swapping in your own surname and give it a go.
Bike Kawasaki Bike
BKB Kawasaki Bike, who keeps betting everything on his one “BKB routine” based on his stage name, Bike Kawasaki Bike.
How about practicing that BKB routine as a party trick? As long as it abbreviates to BKB, anything goes.
For example: “Baachan ga, Kousokudouro de, Bucchigiri, BKB—Hii-ya!” Please think up a few original bits in advance.
Although Kawasaki Bike is often seen as a solo comedian, he once formed a duo long ago called “Machi no Boushiya-san” with Tomofumi Matsuzaki, who is now active as a writer.
Feel free to share that fun fact too!
From a one-shot gag, a ‘Yoisho!’Fusūya
Fusaya, whose routines are full of baffling one-shot gags, are the talk of the town.
Prepare plenty of catchphrases that may not make much sense but feel incredibly satisfying thanks to their rhythm and sound, and whip them out at just the right moment! And don’t forget: after delivering a gag, the two of you should shout in unison, “Yoisho!!” How confidently you perform it will likely determine whether it lands.
It could be fun not only to use the lines they actually do in their acts, but also to adapt them using words from your own surroundings.
I got carried away.Yuriyan Retriever
Yuriyan Retriever, a female comedian who’s now a TV favorite.
She’s known for a variety of gags, but the easiest one to copy is “Choshi notchattē” (“Got a little carried away”).
For men, you can introduce yourself using the name of a handsome actor or artist and then immediately drop this line—perfect.
It also seems like you could adapt it to all kinds of situations!
Sunshine Ikezaki
When it comes to impersonations, Sunshine Ikezaki is all about a loud voice and sheer energy.
He even made headlines when actor Takumi Saitoh did an impression of him! In particular, people tend to love it when usually quiet men try the impression, so he’s the perfect comedian to mimic for party entertainment or a stage act.
