One-shot gags that will get laughs: recommended skits/acts for men (21–30)
baseball gag
If there are a lot of sports fans, how about trying some baseball jokes? This article introduces a total of 10 bits, including gags that use players’ names.
Many of the jokes feature famous players, and there are also bits that even people who don’t know much about baseball can understand.
Some routines use well-known anime songs, so they should appeal to a wide audience.
Each bit is short, which makes them easy to remember—another nice plus.
If you only rely on one routine and it doesn’t land, you’ll be in trouble, so memorize plenty of short gags!
toast speech
Let’s get everyone involved, lead a toast chant, and liven up the party! The hallmark of this style is that everyone repeats the leader’s words.
The content can be tailored to the occasion, but having people repeat the phrases helps unify everyone’s hearts and gets them in the mood to enjoy the event! The trick is to include lines that are just a little embarrassing to say out loud—that’s what makes it fun.
A toast chant is usually done at the beginning, but it can also be used mid-party as a quick performance to re-energize the room—highly recommended!
One-Liner Gags That Will Kill at Parties/Shows for Men (31–40)
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!
“National Treasure” impression (impersonation)
@akizonomanezo Someone whose way of folding laundry changes after watching the movie “National Treasure.”MovieNational TreasureRyo Yoshizawa#RyuseiYokohamaKabukiParody#NationalTreasureCommunity
♪ Original song – kokuhoumovie – Official account of the film “National Treasure”
It’s a one-shot gag that riffs on the film “National Treasure,” which portrays the life of a kabuki actor walking a solitary path.
The action is simply folding laundry, but with a glossy, smoldering gaze, deliberately precise fingertips, and a little bite of the towel when halving it…
Anyone who’s seen the film will be doubled over with laughter.
The bit works if you fold laundry while channeling the film’s depiction of an onnagata (male actor in female roles), so anyone can perform it as long as they commit to the role.
I recommend folding the towel slowly on purpose.
Two outfits and a stomachache
@pmwkga The moment the whole classroom freezes after a one-shot gag lol#StomachacheBroRecommendationOne-shot gag
♬ Original song – Yuuki – I Can Walk on Stilts
It’s a gag where you step forward asking, “What hurts?” and, while showing two pieces of clothing, you say “stomachache.” The joke hinges on the Japanese pun: two is ‘tsū,’ which sounds like ‘fukutsū’ (stomachache).
Since you only need two garments, you can pull it off anytime—just borrow a friend’s jacket if needed.
The content is simple, so you can perform it for anyone.
However, it’s a very short gag, so it’s crucial to deliver it briskly and with confidence.
When you say the punchline—‘stomachache’—show no embarrassment; strike a funny pose and declare it with flair!
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.
