Intro Self-Introductions and Icebreaker Gag Special (11–20)
It’s Kojima!Kazuya Kojima of the comedy duo UNJASH
It’s a one-shot gag by the comedy duo member Kazuya Kojima from UNJASH.
Someone calls him by a slightly wrong name like “Oshima-san,” and he loudly retorts, “It’s Kojima!” It’s a simple bit, but it requires a partner who intentionally mispronounces his surname just right to set up the joke.
People of Brazil, can you hear me?Yagi Savanna
Yagi, the straight man of the comedy duo Savannah.
His off-timed retorts and jokes that miss the mark end up being funny in their own way, and he always livens up the shows he appears on.
Among Yagi’s many bits, the easiest to imitate is “People in Brazil, can you hear me?” If you look at a globe to find the spot directly opposite Japan, it happens to be Brazil.
All you have to do is get down on one knee and loudly say, “People in Brazil, can you hear me?” so even beginners who don’t usually do gags can handle it! If you want to be the star of your class, start with this gag.
Break out of your shell and give it a try!
unprecedented and unrepeatableSunshine Ikezaki
In a TV project, Sunshine Ikezaki gifted his parents a brand-new house.
Even though he has a wild and chaotic image, it really moved me to see how much he truly cares about his parents.
His “unprecedented and unparalleled” self-introduction routine is a perfect one-liner that instantly grabs a class’s attention.
You could perfectly copy his lines, or tweak them to something like “A man who loves break time and is loved by break time”—that would probably get laughs, too.
It might be even better if you work in some inside jokes everyone knows!
I’m Hiroshi.Hiroshi
Hiroshi has completely cemented his image as an outdoor/camping TV personality.
His YouTube subscribers easily exceed one million—amazing! His self-deprecating bit “I’m Hiroshi” is guaranteed to send the classroom into fits of laughter! Be sure to swap out the “Hiroshi” part for your own name—it’ll definitely go over better that way.
Lines like “Even though we’re playing hide-and-seek, nobody comes to look for me,” or “The only Valentine’s chocolates I got were from my grandma and my mom,” work well.
The key to the humor is delivering everyday ‘relatable’ experiences as a wistful monologue.
It’s a routine that would probably kill at a school talent show, too!
What about Kisama?plover
Many of you have probably heard it in the SmartNews commercial, right? In the skit with the comedy duo Chidori, there’s a moment where, instead of the normal “Anata wa?” (How about you?), they oddly say “Kisāma wa?” in a condescending tone.
It’s startling for a second, but it makes you blurt out, “What the heck is that?!” and laugh.
I recommend slipping it into casual conversations! There’s no prep needed, and anyone can do this bit, so give it a try!
Self-Introductions: Opening Gag Specials (21–30)
Girls~!Kumamoto Pro Wrestling
Kumamoto Pro-Wrestling’s signature gag—used at the start of Benishoga’s manzai sets and in their YouTube intros—is beloved as an opening hook.
It’s structured as a forceful call-out to the girls, followed by advice directed at them.
What matters most is what you put into that advice; classic, relatable “regret” scenarios are the standard.
When performing solo, it’s best to focus on relatable “we’ve all been there” bits.
If you have a partner doing the tsukkomi, use lines that make them think, “There’s no one like that,” so the tsukkomi can step in and support the joke clearly.
Showcase an outlandish answer
@tykchi Collection of Unusual Answers from Elementary School StudentsTrivia
♪ Original Song – Knowledge Kozō – Knowledge Kozō
On social media, amusing answers from students’ tests often become a hot topic, don’t they? How about showcasing a collection of those quirky responses as your material? Since the questions are ones everyone’s heard before, people will likely have the “right” answer pop into their heads right away.
But then come the unexpected replies.
They’re sure to set off a wave of laughter.
It’s a lineup packed with witty, creative answers, so have everyone try to guess first and then enjoy the reveals together.
Even the process of collecting the answers will probably be pretty funny.
Imitating sounds with a recorder
Let’s try performing a one-shot gag using the recorder that we often played in elementary school.
Simply playing a popular tune is more than enough, but if you want to show off something surprising and funny, how about recreating sounds you’d never expect to hear from a recorder? The example here is the sound of an ambulance.
It convincingly captures everything from the approaching wail to the sound as it moves away.
If you didn’t know it was a recorder, you might mistake it for a real ambulance.
Rock-paper-scissors gag
@kubotadash Rock-paper-scissors gagYoshimoto#Comedy#WantToConnectWithComedyFansComedian#KubotaDash#GagOne-shot gag#RhythmGagDaily Gag#RockPaperScissors#AikoDeXiaolongbaoBang bang ji from the bottomAcchi Muite Hoi Gag Chapter 2Across Time#Everyone'sGraduationCeremony
Original song – Kubota Dash – Kubota Dash 🏃♂️💨
Here’s a one-shot gag that uses rock-paper-scissors—something every student has done.
Start by playing normally with “Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!” Then make it a tie.
After saying “Aiko de…” (tie-break), say “xiao long bao,” bring both palms together above your head, and shape them like a soup dumpling.
Next, say “from below, bang bang ji,” stand at attention, and move upward from below.
It might help to imagine a startled chicken.
The key is to open your eyes wide at the end.
Lips stung by a bee
@morio_hanashi You can use my boyfriend for a one-shot gag.#tiktok Summer FestivalHigh school studentDon't let COVID defeat usOne-shot gagPaper wasp
♪ Original song – Hanashimorio – Hanashimorio
This is a party trick anyone can do easily, with no preparation.
The idea is simple: stick out your tongue and pretend it’s your upper lip to recreate lips swollen from a bee sting.
The humor really depends on the setup.
Show, with gestures, what kind of bee flew in and how it landed.
Then suddenly stick out your tongue for a strong impact.
Adding some unique sound effects can work well too.
