One-Liner Gags That Will Kill at Parties/Shows for Men (31–40)
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.
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.
One-liner gags that will get laughs: recommended skits/acts for men (41–50)
One-liner gags you can use at year-end and New Year parties
If a short performance is fine, doing a bunch of quick one-liner gags could work well.
For a party with an older crowd, how about classics like Beat Takeshi’s “Comaneci,” Kanpei Hazama’s “Kaii-no,” or Norio Nishikawa’s “Hō-hokekyo”? For a gathering with lots of younger people, Nobu from Chidori’s “Kuse ga sugoin jaa,” or Kanade from 3ji no Heroine’s “Ah-haan” would probably get laughs.
You could also try creating your own original bits instead of relying on other people’s gags! If you prepare a few routines for year-end or New Year’s parties, they’ll come in handy for any kind of entertainment.
Atsugiri Jason
It’s Atsugiri Jason, who made his breakthrough by using the oddities of the Japanese language and Japanese people as comedic material.
His gags are widely recognized because many TV personalities imitate them, making them both well-known and easy to mimic.
