One-liner gags that will get laughs: recommended skits/acts for men (41–50)
An overly intense retortTakumi Kaminari
This is Kaminari, the duo that became known for their bit where one partner smacks the other on the head quite hard.
They made it to the finals of the M-1 Grand Prix and became a household name.
Their hits were so intense that opinions were divided, but they kept appearing on TV and grew into popular comedians.
You really need two guys to recreate that kind of intensity, right? (lol)
One-liner gags that will get laughs as skits/acts recommended for men (51–60)
Sesse-seiyaSeiya (of Shimofuri Myojo)
Speaking of the hugely popular duo Shimofuri Myojo from the so-called Seventh Generation of comedians, Seiya’s signature one-shot gag “Ses-se-seiya” is famous, right? At first glance it seems like he’s just mimicking a karate thrust while repeating “Ses-se-seiya” and “What the heck is that?”, but… According to Seiya, the idea is that by repeating these lines whose punchline isn’t obvious, he builds up energy, and then by breaking that accumulated energy with an unexpected move, it triggers laughter.
You’ll probably find yourself thinking, “I can’t help but laugh at this!” The recommendation is to ditch your embarrassment and perform it with everything you’ve got!
parody song
If you can play the guitar or piano, why not try performing parody songs like Tatsuou Kamon? Of course, even if you can’t play an instrument, you can still perform by singing alone, so don’t worry.
Parodying the lyrics of well-known songs into something humorous is an easy-to-understand form of comedy that works in almost any setting.
It’ll be even more exciting if you tailor the lyrics to inside jokes from the occasion.
“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!
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!
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.
