One-liner gags that liven up a group dating party (21–30)
Zero-calorie theorySandwichman Date
Sandwichman has become such a household favorite that there’s hardly a day you don’t see them on TV.
What I want to introduce today is Date’s oft-performed “zero-calorie theory.” Since calories are weak against heat, deep-frying makes them zero calories; freezing them also makes them zero calories.
What’s more, because calories have color, anything white has zero calories.
Based on these unique ideas, he insists that all kinds of foods are zero calories.
Since lots of different dishes show up at mixer parties, jump right in and show off the zero-calorie theory there.
It tends to go over even better if the person saying it is a bit chubby.
Let’s turn back time.Pekopa Shoinji Taiyu
Using lines from popular comedians like Pekopa is perfect for livening up conversation at drinking parties.
In particular, the phrase “Let’s turn back time,” made famous by Taiyu Shoinji, is handy and gets laughs when you bomb a joke or make a little blunder.
Not just for mixer parties—working the “Let’s turn back time” bit into any setting can spark lively conversation.
It could be your chance to become the kind of character, like Shoinji, who can completely change the mood of the room.
Sesse-seiyaSeiya (of Shimofuri Myojo)
A great one-shot gag to liven up a group date is Seiya from the comedy duo Shimofuri Myojo’s “Se-se-Seiya.” His unique chant and movements are perfect for warming up the room.
By repeating a phrase that doesn’t really mean anything, you build up energy in the group, then release it with an unexpected move to get laughs—so the thinking goes.
And it really works; it’s hard not to laugh when you see this gag.
Even in a first-time meetup, this can help you slip right into the circle of friends.
If you perform it cheerfully and energetically, your group date is sure to heat up.
Haranishi GagFUJIWARA Haranishi
A gag by FUJIWARA’s Haraichi.
He’s said to be a treasure trove of solo bits, with something like a trillion routines.
If you imitate his material, it’ll definitely liven things up.
They’re really one-shot gags, so if you memorize a lot and mix and match them, I think it’ll be fun.
Kai~noKanpei Hazama
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.
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.
Body impersonationRobert 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.
