Classic and Famous One-Shot Gag Collection (11–20)
It’s wild, right?Sugichan
Are you someone who believes in fortune-telling or feng shui? Thanks to advice from the fortune-teller Iida Getters, as soon as he changed his stage name to “Sugi-chan” from his real name, he ended up as the runner-up in the R-1 Grand Prix, so fortune-telling really is mysterious, isn’t it? I think his catchphrase “Wild da ro~?”—which even won the New Words/Buzzwords Award—is a bit that girls could copy too.
It might get more laughs to talk about everyday “not-so-wild” situations rather than truly wild things! It’s a fun routine, so if you feel shy doing it alone, it’s totally fine to do it with two or three people!
Go ahead, please.Dachou Club
It’s one of the signature gags of the comedy trio Dachou Club, who have many gags.
When something nobody wants to do—like a punishment game—appears, one person boldly volunteers first, then others follow suit.
Pushed along by the group’s momentum, at the moment the last person volunteers, everyone yields the turn to that person—That’s the punchline.
The key to making it exciting is having three or more people to create the flow: the one who leads, the ones who follow, and the one who ends up having to do it.
Expressions and reactions are crucial too—like reluctantly volunteering or getting mad when it’s foisted on you.
PPAPPikotaro
There was even a time when, if you asked comedians, “Who’s the funniest comedian right now?” almost all of them would answer, “Kosaka Daimao!” That very Kosaka Daimao made a timeless comeback as Piko-Taro.
His PPAP bit sparked a worldwide craze.
Skillfully linking the words pen, apple, and pineapple to a catchy rhythm and crafting an addictive melody that makes you think, “I want to sing it too!”—that’s classic Kosaka.
Since so many people know it, singing it together in class would definitely get everyone hyped.
Just be careful not to get so excited that the teacher scolds you!
tsukkomi (the ‘straight man’ retort in Japanese comedy)Soshina from Shimofuri Myojo
Shimofuri Myojo have become a hot topic through M-1 and R-1, and you can see them everywhere—commercials, variety shows, and more.
The tsukkomi specialist, Soshina, really leaves an impression, doesn’t he? With his distinctive pose and raspy voice, his sharp retorts are guaranteed to land.
Strictly speaking, he’s a tsukkomi, so it’s different from a one-shot gag, but turning that on its head and delivering a joke using Soshina’s tsukkomi pose and voice could be pretty funny, too.
Kai~noKanpei Kazama
It’s great to perform a joke everyone knows, right? So I’d like to introduce Kanpei Hazama’s signature gag, “Kaii-no.” The way to do it is very simple: rub your butt against something nearby while repeating “kaii-no.” It’s easier to get if you watch the original, but try tightening your throat a little and saying it in a cute voice.
By the way, this gag is simple and highly versatile, so you can slip it in during conversation transitions and the like.
That doesn’t matter!Yoshio Kojima
A gag by comedian Yoshio Kojima.
Right after telling a negative story, he dances and says, “Sonna no kankei nee!” (“That doesn’t matter!”).
His signature phrase “Oppapii” is catchy, too.
For “Sonna no kankei nee!” go all out with big, powerful movements, and for “Oppapii” keep it loose—adding that contrast in tempo will hype up the crowd even more!

The pitcher’s scared.Nightingale Dance Nakano Nakartin
@nightingaledance Cheer Squad GagBaseballBaseball Club#Cheering squad#The pitcher is scared#Comedy#GagOne-shot gagYoshimotoComedian#Nakano Nakartin
Original song – Nightingale Dance – Nakano Nakartin
“Pitcher’s scared, hey hey hey…”—this is one of those chants you often hear in youth baseball, used to put pressure on the opposing pitcher.
The gag plays off that chant: after the classic phrase, it continues with “the catcher went out without his wallet,” and then lands on the punchline “Pay Pay Pay.” If you played baseball in elementary school, this joke will probably make you laugh.
It’s a quick one-liner you can easily tweak with your own variations.
