One-liner gags that will get laughs: recommended skits/acts for men (41–50)
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.
Pikotaro
This is Pikotaro, the creator of PPAP, which became a global hit.
He appeared on TV a lot with the PPAP routine, so almost everyone should know him.
He seems like a comedian people would enjoy if you perform his act at a party or event, so getting the costume together to improve the look and doing an impression would likely go over well.
Ike Nwala
Mr.
Ike Nwala once worked as an engineer at the global giant Goldman Sachs.
I’ve heard he couldn’t give up on his dream of becoming a comedian, so he quit the company and came to Japan.
That kind of single-minded passion is beautiful.
He’s usually active with the comedy group Supernova, and he’s also formed a duo called “WanuRashi” with Koala Koarashi.
His bit “Universal Studios Japan Entrance Gate,” which makes full use of his captivating deep voice, is hilarious no matter how many times you watch it.
If you’re fluent in English, I’d definitely recommend keeping it in your repertoire as a party piece!
Hey hey, doctorShunshun Clinic P
Shunshun Clinic P, who became popular as a practicing-doctor-turned-comedian, has a bit called “Hey Hey Doctor,” which is themed around doctor ‘relatable moments.’ Why not try imitating that style and do your own ‘relatable moments’ routine based on your field of expertise? Even niche, hard-to-explain in-jokes can be twice as funny when set to music.
A gag about hiking and walking
How about imitating Hiking Walking, famous for their one-shot gags? The material itself is funny, so I think it’ll be amusing no matter who copies it.
It’ll get a decent laugh even solo, but if you ask someone to play the straight man, the humor will double.
A quip with a funny facepistachio
Pistachio, who shot to fame after winning the second edition of the late-night show “Ametalk” segment “Zakkiyama & Fujimon’s Steal-It-1 Grand Prix.” Their “White-Eyed Manzai,” where they pinch their noses in a campy style and keep talking with unusual intonation, brought the house down wherever they performed.
It’s a bit easier to imitate than full-fledged, rapid-fire manzai—so why not try “White-Eyed Manzai” yourself? The mismatched banter that ends with a punchline like “What?” is hilariously funny! The material seems perfect for in-jokes at clubs or companies.
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!
