One-liner gags that will get laughs as skits/acts recommended for men (51–60)
“I’m ___.” impression/impersonationGanbareruya Yoshiko
Yoshiko from Ganbareruya, who has been showing off her versatility by appearing not only on variety shows but also in dramas.
One of her go-to bits on TV is an extremely forceful impression! It’s questionable whether you can even call it an impression, but she pulls a powerful face and declares the name of a celebrity (lol).
Of course, it doesn’t need to resemble them at all—just go all in with a striking expression and try doing an impression of a handsome actor!
wrapJoiman
It’s a signature Joyman bit where a man appears, humming a rap while moving with a unique vibe.
The “rap” isn’t complicated: he lines up words that sound similar, like pairing “arigatou” (thank you) with “oligotou” (oligosaccharide), to make it look like a rap.
The accompanying movements are crucial too—their strange, floaty feel creates a lively bounce and solid rhythm.
His bright expression, distinctive motions, and the seemingly forced word overlaps all heighten the fun and become the key to the laughs.
Kumada Masashi
If you put on a tight T-shirt, a tank top, bloomers, and sunglasses, you’re all set to become Masashi Kumada! So how about borrowing his act and giving it a try? It would be a perfect bit for a scene where you’re doing a solo party trick, right? Recently, it seems the full costume is sold as a set, and each item looks easy to get.
For material, how about using relatable everyday “been there” situations from around you? Just don’t forget the gimmick to move the sunglasses—that’ll carry you through!
I want to eat pancakes.Masaru Yumeya
Gurunai Omoshiro-so is broadcast every New Year’s Eve.
Despite airing only once a year, the show has produced many popular stars, including Natsuko Yokozawa, Kumamushi, Blouson Chiemi with B, and Hyokkori-han.
Masaru Yumeya is also one of the breakout stars from Gurunai Omoshiro-so.
His rhythmic gag, set to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s Harajuku Iyahoi, where he sings “I want to eat pancakes, I want to eat pancakes…,” became an instant sensation.
If a usually tough-looking guy acts a bit delicate and performs this bit, it’s guaranteed to bring the house down! Be sure to come up with lots of one-liner gags to follow up “I want to eat pancakes,” too!
Bambino
Bambino burst onto the scene like a comet at the 2014 King of Conte.
Their most iconic rhythm-based bit, “Danson,” gets stuck in your head after just one listen.
The routine goes that when they chant the Danson spell, their quarry—a deer?—calms down and can be captured with ease.
The spell hasn’t been officially published, but by ear it sounds like: “Danson, Fiza-kee, Tootha-tee-saza, Konson.” The shout “Nibura,” used at the moment of capture, also became hugely popular.
Since it’s a bit that can’t be done solo, be sure to recruit a partner!
Obata no Oniisan
I’m Obata no Oniisan, who broke through by doing a Shun Oguri impression.
If you imitate Obata no Oniisan, it becomes a so-called impression-of-an-impression, but it made waves when Oguri himself mimicked Obata’s signature “Ma—kino” gag.
Curling
How about Choshinjuku’s “Curling” as a one-shot gag you can perform with a group? It’s set up like a sketch, but it works great as a quick gag too, and since multiple people can do it, it’s highly recommended.
“Curling,” which became a hot topic during the Olympics—be sure to give it a try.
Pop-pop!EXIT
EXIT, who are thriving at the cutting edge of the seventh generation alongside groups like Shimofuri Myojo and Yoneda 2000, are huge hits.
Kanecchi, aka Mr.
Kaneshiro, is a constant presence near the top of the Yoshimoto Handsome Ranking, and Rintaro is so popular he ranks in both the Handsome and the Ugly rankings! One of their strengths is that their gag “Pon-pon!” can be used anytime, anywhere, regardless of TPO.
If your bit falls flat, firing off a quick “Pon-pon!” might liven things up on its own! Their flashy playboy-style manzai, packed with stock phrases like “Beyond kusa, it’s a forest” and “Oato ga here we go!”, is surprisingly easy to imitate!
Hiii!Saito from Jungle Pocket
It’s the phrase used by Jungle Pocket member Saito when he wraps up or switches topics.
Combined with the gesture of making a big arm circle and clenching his hands in front of his body, it really conveys a sense of power.
It’s recommended not only for closing out a topic that has reached a stopping point, but also for forcibly wrapping up a conversation you’d rather end quickly.
Instead of doing it just once, a key point for getting people to remember it is to find good moments and use it repeatedly.
GoigoisuDiane Tsuda
This is a high-energy one-shot gag delivered by Atsuhiro Tsuda, the straight man of the duo Diane.
It carries the meaning of “amazing,” and it’s notable that it changes depending on the situation—not just “Goigoisuu,” but also variations like “Su-su-suu” and “I present you a ‘Suu.’” There’s also a set pose for saying it: a distinctive forward-leaning stance with one hand thrust out, which further emphasizes the words.
Since it’s said that there are many specific rules regarding the pose and pronunciation, aim to faithfully recreate it with those details in mind.
