If there are a lot of sports fans, how about trying some baseball jokes? This article introduces a total of 10 bits, including gags that use players’ names.

Many of the jokes feature famous players, and there are also bits that even people who don’t know much about baseball can understand.

Some routines use well-known anime songs, so they should appeal to a wide audience.

Each bit is short, which makes them easy to remember—another nice plus.

From station-wide announcements and the bullet train’s departure chime to the clacking of the tracks and in-car announcements—sound mimicry that recreates everything using only your voice.

By realistically reproducing everyday sounds we often hear—not just those of Shinkansen and trains—you’re sure to grab attention at any venue! Plenty of videos by creators and comedians have been uploaded, so be sure to study them to learn how to achieve a high level of polish.

It’s also a great idea to add acting and present it in a sketch-comedy style.

Recently, videos of wotagei set to popular songs have been released, and it’s even become a staple party trick.

So if your company is holding a party or a social gathering, why not put on a wotagei performance? Even first-timers can make it look impressive with a bit of practice—perfect for a quick show.

If older attendees who may not be familiar with wotagei will be there, try choosing a song that was a revival hit or otherwise well-known to their generation.

[Behind the Scenes] A Deep Dive into Audrey Kasuga’s Gags! [With Nagisa and Zakoshi]
Tooth! Audrey Kasuga

Speaking of the comedy duo Audrey’s Kasuga, he’s a comedian loved for his unique character! He has plenty of signature lines, but the one you can use in almost any situation is “Tooth!” I’m not entirely sure what it means, but dropping it unexpectedly might get a laugh.

Just don’t get shy and half-hearted—stand tall, point your index finger like Kasuga, puff out your chest, and declare it with confidence! Also, at a group date, the line “There’s a spot open here for you” (pointing to your side) would probably go over well too.

Kanpei Kainoma

One of the signature gags of Kanpei Hazama, a Yoshimoto comedian also known as a marathon runner, is “Kai~no.” Its charm is that it pops up out of nowhere in a completely nonsensical flow.

In any case, if there’s a situation that makes you feel even a little “itch,” give it a try.

Body impersonation Robert Akiyama

In Robert Akiyama’s routine, he uses a body suit and a mask to completely become that person.

Since he doesn’t speak and relies on the visual impact to get laughs, it seems like something almost anyone could pull off.

The key is the timing of when you bring the mask up to your face.

If you can add an element of surprise instead of just holding it up with your hand in a straightforward way, the change will get the crowd going.
