One-shot gags for men that are sure to be a hit at parties and performances

Opportunities to perform a quick gag as entertainment at drinking parties or wedding receptions—if you’re a man, you might have more of these than you’d expect, right?

If you always keep a few routines up your sleeve, you’re probably fine.

But if you’re thinking, “I’ve never done a one-shot gag before…,” you’re likely in a bind!

So in this article, we’ll introduce plenty of one-shot gags recommended for men.

We’ve picked things that will really hype up a male-only crowd and bits that are especially funny when performed by men.

Keep the vibe of the room in mind and give them a try!

One-Liner Gags That Will Kill at Parties/Shows for Men (31–40)

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.

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.

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!

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!

Flash mobs that bring unexpected emotion to proposals and parties are a tempting choice for entertainment.

Yamauchi from the comedy duo Kamaitachi pulled off a huge gag by attempting a flash mob all by himself at his partner Hamaie’s wedding.

We wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re very brave… Since it’s mainly dancing, it may require a longer practice period than other performances.

It’s reassuring if you have a few people with dance experience.

For company events, it might be fun to divide into teams—like a junior team and a veteran team—and perform that way!
