There are many gags by Ryuhei Ueshima of Dachou Club, but if we’re talking about something you could use at a group dating party, maybe “I’ll sue you!” would work.

If the designated clown of the group gets teased in various ways and uses it, it’ll probably be a big hit.

That said, if the sexual harassment or power harassment goes too far, you could actually get sued, so keep things in moderation even when alcohol is involved.

How much? / How many? (colloquial, exaggerated)IKKO

Speaking of IKKO’s signature catchphrase, it’s “Dondake~,” but even if you keep the same rhythm and just change the words, anything can sound IKKO-style.

If you suddenly drop it during a group date for a quick quip or a moment of surprise, I think it’ll hype everyone up.

When it comes to Hyokkorihan’s routine, it’s all about “Hai, Hyokkorihan!” If you show this off at a group date, it’s sure to liven up the mood in no time! The key is to use things around you and suddenly pop your face out from nowhere.

You can hum the music and pop out from under the table, borrow the shoulder of the person next to you—the variations are endless.

Surprise and timing are crucial, so read the room and perform it accordingly.

Just be mindful of copyright: keep the BGM to simple humming and avoid imitating Hyokkorihan’s distinctive costume as a matter of etiquette.
