One-shot gags that are easy to do and a hit—recommended for new employees. Crowd-pleasing bits (91–100)
Face flan speed-eating
It’s a quick gag where you place a pudding on your face around your forehead and, without using your hands, get the pudding into your mouth.
It takes a fair bit of practice to nail it in one go, but even if you fail it still gets laughs, so it’s great for casual gatherings.
Note that even if you succeed, your face will end up covered in pudding, so be sure to have a towel ready.
mouth catch
Toss a snack into the air and catch it with your mouth—hasn’t everyone tried that at least once? It looks simple, but catching food in your mouth is surprisingly tricky.
How about showing it off as a quick party trick? You can do it solo, of course, but having someone else throw it adds extra thrill.
And it’s even more exciting if the thrower isn’t your usual practice partner, but someone who just happens to be there—and you still nail it! Effortlessly catching passes from anyone is sure to get a big laugh as a one-shot gag.
Tasting
Tasting is about guessing what you’ve eaten or drunk while blindfolded.
You often see it on TV variety shows.
With the right ideas, there are lots of fun ways to do it—like “reaction type,” where someone feeds you something when you truly know nothing about it, or a “serious quiz type,” where you line up the same flavor from different brands and guess which one is from which maker.
Instead of performing it solo as a quick gag, you can also make it a party game where people in the audience participate!
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a variety of one-shot performance ideas across different genres—did you find something you’d like to try?
