Self-Introductions & Icebreaker Gag Collection (1–10)
baseball gag
If there are a lot of sports fans, how about trying some baseball jokes? This article introduces a total of 10 bits, including gags that use players’ names.
Many of the jokes feature famous players, and there are also bits that even people who don’t know much about baseball can understand.
Some routines use well-known anime songs, so they should appeal to a wide audience.
Each bit is short, which makes them easy to remember—another nice plus.
If you only rely on one routine and it doesn’t land, you’ll be in trouble, so memorize plenty of short gags!
Say something positive in an overly slow tone.Timon D
The comedy duo Timondi is known for their impactful orange suits and their unique slow-speaking style where they say positive things.
Doesn’t that way of speaking get really addictive? And they’re always so surprisingly upbeat that it gives you energy, right? How about firing up the crowd with a Timondi-style bit? It seems like you could master the way they talk pretty quickly.
Let’s boldly approach people you don’t usually interact with and become friends through upbeat, positive lines!
Everyone, it’s been since we met in a dream.Audrey Kasuga
This is Audrey’s Kasuga’s one-shot gag for his opening greeting.
By speaking to customers he’s never even met like this, it makes them feel as if they might be some kind of destined partner—or even if they think, “We’ve never met, have we?” they probably won’t feel bad about it.
In other words, this one-shot gag is a magic phrase that can instantly shrink the distance between you and your listener.
By all means, try using it as an icebreaker at the start of a conversation.
gal gagElf
One factor behind the duo Elf’s rise in popularity is Arakawa’s gags and her character.
She goes all in on being a “gal” (gyaru), drawing laughs not just with her brightness and momentum, but also with her choice of phrases.
Since the expressions used by gals change with the times, think carefully about which era of gal you’re portraying as you plan the lines and movements.
It’s also fun to mix in old-school gal elements with modern gals to create humor from the gap between eras.

I’ve just received 〇〇!Milk Boy
Milkboy, the comedy duo that shocked the public and instantly became stars by posting the highest score in M-1 Grand Prix history in 2019.
At the start of their manzai, Komaba—the boke—always does a gesture like he’s received something from the audience, and Utsumi—the tsukkomi—follows with, “We’ve just received a [blank]!” and “You can never have too many of these.” They’re always getting something hilariously spot-on, aren’t they? (laughs) That bit seems so versatile as a gag—you could use it anytime, anywhere, don’t you think?
self-introduction gagShooting Star Chuuei
When you want to spark some smiles in those casual moments between classes or after school, Chuei from Nagareboshi’s self-introduction gag is perfect.
Created by the hilariously talented Chuei, this bit cleverly riffs on Japanese surnames to introduce himself in a way that really sticks.
With just a little courage, you can flip the mood of the room, and it’s sure to turn you into the class mood-maker.
It’s especially recommended for times like the start of a new term, when you want people to remember your name.
Taking the lead to liven things up can also be a chance to make more friends—so why not give it a try?
Hellooo!koi (nishikigoi)
At the 2021 M-1 Grand Prix, NISHIKIGOI won the championship as the oldest winners in the competition’s history and became beloved by audiences across Japan.
The gag that Masanori Hasegawa, the boke (funny man), shouts at the start of their manzai—“Konnichiwaaa!”—is just a simple greeting, yet it leaves a powerful impression of his character.
If you deliver it loudly like the original, it’s sure to liven things up at school and elsewhere.
You can also have a friend play the tsukkomi (straight man) role of Takashi Watanabe and perform it as a set—it’ll get laughs, so give it a try!
