One-liner gags that will get laughs as skits/acts recommended for men (51–60)
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.
One-liner gags that get laughs—recommended party skits/acts for men (61–70)
Ham is coming soon, isn’t it?Mama Tart Yohei Hibara
This is a one-shot gag by Yohei Hibihara, the straight man of the comedy duo Mamatart.
While Himan Otsuru is usually the one associated with food-themed characters in Mamatart, it’s fun that Hibihara deliberately does a gag with a food theme here.
It’s a parody of the Candies’ classic hit “Haru Ichiban,” lightly explaining the process of how ham is made.
His facial expressions, which enhance the buoyant singing voice, are also key, and the content vividly conveys the growing excitement as the ham nears completion.
Impersonation of IKKO
How about doing an impression of the beauty icon IKKO? “Dondake~” is the classic catchphrase, but it’s also fun to mimic her everyday lines like “What?” and “Oh no~!” If a man is doing it, putting on proper makeup and even a wig will really get the crowd going.
Ogin Osborn
I feel a bit hesitant because perfectly copying a comedian’s routine seems pretty tough, but don’t you get the feeling this Ojin Osborn bit might be doable? It’s one of their popular routines called “Gagrobics,” a rhythm act that combines gags and aerobics.
While moving your body, they weave parody lyrics of J-pop hits into the jokes, with matching choreography.
Since you move along with the background music, it might be easier to remember.
The songs they use are often nostalgic too, so it seems like it would appeal to a wide range of ages.
