Rock-paper-scissors gag
https://www.tiktok.com/@kubotadash/video/6804796446462823681Gags that use rock-paper-scissors might be a dime a dozen, but precisely because of that you can come up with all sorts of variations, so it’s something anyone can easily try as a quick party trick.
It’d be funny to go all-in on a Chinese-food theme, like: “Rock, paper, scissors—tie, then xiaolongbao; from below, bang bang chicken; look that way—twice-cooked pork!” It might be a bit hard for beginners to write material, but it could be easier if you pick a theme first and build your bits around it.
Definitely give it a shot and show it off at parties or get-togethers.
wotagei
Otaku-gei, which practically feels like it’s gained mainstream acceptance by now, could make a great bit for a year-end party.
Otaku-gei is a dance done in small teams that skillfully uses the afterimage of handheld light sources, and it typically features a stance with the lower body kept fixed.
While keeping your lower body steady, move your upper body and hands a lot with a playful vibe, and make sure to nail the highlight moments—done right, it actually looks pretty cool.
If you’ve got the bandwidth, adding your own original twists to establish your personal style is a great idea, too.
Put on pants without using your hands
As the title says, he puts on his pants without using his hands.
You can’t help but laugh at the way he pulls them on to the beat of the music.
The comical movements add to the fun, too.
It’s the kind of one-shot gag that’s hard for women to imitate—truly a classic guy’s trick.
salaryman gag
@kotaroyano Today's one-shot gag: the salaryman gagparty trick#GagOne-shot gag#YanoTheater#fyp#Tarako commercialI love the admins.
♪ Original Song – Yano Theater – Yano Theater
Your first year as a salaryman is also called being a “freshman.” You’re treated a bit like a guest, yet at the same time expected to be immediately effective, so it’s a daily grind full of pressure.
In that case, how about showing off some “salaryman gags” as a party trick at welcome parties or training sessions? Observing the salaryman life with self-deprecating humor and embracing its pathos could be a good hint for creating material.
Try changing the lyrics of popular songs and delivering your bits with a snappy tempo.
If you want to win over the senior veterans, we recommend Regain’s ‘Can You Work 24 Hours a Day?’
Spinning a top
Originally a New Year’s tradition, in the days before video games people would play with it all year round.
Tops that any kid used to be able to spin—nowadays there are even young people who don’t know how to spin them.
If you’re from the uncle generation, why not show off some cool top-spinning skills? Whip it out, wind the string, and get it spinning on your palm—guaranteed applause! It’s compact and easy to carry, perfect for a quick impromptu performance or party trick.
3-ball juggling cascade
If you’re not good at singing, not great at karaoke, and don’t have any party tricks to show off in front of everyone, this is for you.
Secretly practice juggling and become the hero of the next drinking party! The three-ball cascade is the fundamental technique that underpins all juggling—and the most important one.
Just keep practicing that three-ball cascade.
Just like in baseball or soccer, the basics matter.
If you put in the effort, you can do it! Once you can do it with balls, try practicing with rolled-up wet towels too.
Freestyle Football
Freestyle football is the sportified version of one soccer technique: juggling.
The sight of it makes the ball look almost alive.
Performing to music makes it even cooler.
Highly recommended for those with soccer experience.
