Making chopstick rests
A classic little trick you can show off at drinking parties or dinners is making chopstick rests.
You’ve probably seen someone skillfully make a rest using the paper sleeve the chopsticks came in, right? From boat-shaped to heart-shaped rests, once you learn the folds, they’re surprisingly easy to make! For something more advanced, you can even make butterfly or crane-shaped rests.
Even if you don’t go that far, teaching others how to make them can spark conversation, so it’s highly recommended.
Back-to-back commercial parodies
This is a skit idea for commercials that will hype up the crowd with a quick gag.
You just turn well-known phrases into puns, but it might require some acting skills.
If you prepare several types of commercial bits and ride the momentum, it’ll go over well as a performance.
Choosing material from nationwide commercials might reduce the chances of failure.
the process of humanity
@guardman4200♬ Impact – CHEHON
I turned the process of human evolution into a one-shot gag! Let’s use our bodies to uniquely portray everything from early hominins to Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
Exaggerating each movement as much as possible might make it funnier! If you use the familiar human evolution chart as a reference, this gag probably suits men more than women.
When evolving from ape to human, try using props or adding your own twist—it could turn into a full-fledged one-shot gag! Please feel free to use this as a reference.
I’m wearing pants!
It might be a good idea to try the famous gag by Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura, who made a worldwide breakthrough after appearing on the popular overseas show Britain’s Got Talent Series 16.
Of course, be sure to carefully consider the time, place, and occasion.
When it lands, the impact and explosive laughter are outstanding for a men’s party piece! The key is hiding your underwear with body fat, so the gag is especially recommended for those with a bit of chubbiness by nature.
That said, it could also be funny if a slender person deliberately performs it for contrast.
freestyle rap
This is an improvised rap performed by R-Shitei from the hugely popular hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts, which he often showcases at live shows and on TV.
The idea is to take a few word requests from people on the spot and then freestyle a rap that includes those words.
From food names to place names and even people’s names, all kinds of words come up, and R-Shitei brilliantly weaves them into a single rap.
It’s a skill that’s pretty tough for most people, but if you’re confident, why not give it a try?
Fast-talking performance
For those who don’t have a go-to bit for events like year-end parties, how about tongue twisters? If it goes well, you might even show off your clear diction and good pronunciation.
Even with classics everyone knows—like “nama mugi, nama gome, nama tamago,” “aomakigami, akamakigami, kimakigami,” or “kaeru pyokopyoko mi-pyokopyoko, awasete pyokopyoko roppyokopyoko”—if you articulate every sound cleanly and raise the quality, you might even be able to create a groove like an a cappella rap.

riddle
When you don’t have props or space, riddling wordplay (nazokake) is a great option.
Comedian Nezucchi’s nazokake became a big trend, didn’t it? It requires quick wit, but when you nail it, the audience finds it easy to shout “Nice!” and the atmosphere really heats up.
If you have people around you suggest topics, everyone can enjoy it together—so give it a try!
In conclusion
We introduced plenty of easy one-shot gags you can try.
Did any of them make you want to give it a go? The difficulty levels ranged from things anyone can do, to ones that need a bit of practice, to those that require solid rehearsal.
Use these gags as a reference and liven up your parties and gatherings!
