Self-Introductions & Icebreaker Gag Collection (1–10)

Thank you for waiting; this is 〇〇.Gion Kizaki

Gion [Yoshimoto Manzai Theater 10th Anniversary Special Act]
Thank you for waiting; this is 〇〇. Gion Kizaki

This line is a gag by Gion’s Kizaki-san.

It has a way of making people feel as if they’d been eagerly waiting for you, and it’s nice because it lets you slip right into someone’s good graces.

And then, of course, everyone will mentally chime in with the retort, “Nobody was waiting for you.” By that point, the distance between the speaker and the listener has quietly shrunk.

Be sure to try this gag yourself to get a little closer to others.

You can use it right away—just swap in your own name.

Isn’t everyone growing way too much?Gallop Hayashi

Here’s Hayashi from the duo Gallop’s gag.

Having little hair tends to be easy material for jokes, whether it comes from oneself or others, but it often veers into excessive self-deprecation or humor that can hurt someone.

In that sense, Hayashi’s gag seems to strike a good balance—letting the audience have fun without being overly self-deprecating.

It’s also funny how, by calling ordinary people “too hairy,” he subtly frames himself as the standard.

Say something positive in an overly slow tone.Timon D

Comedy slapstick rough play “Timon-D” — Large-Screen Version
Say something positive in an overly slow tone. Timondi

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!

I’ve just received 〇〇!Milk Boy

[Full Version] Milkboy performs the uncut version of their M-1 bit “Cornflakes” — “#Twitter Trend Awards 2019”
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?

Intro Self-Introductions and Icebreaker Gag Special (11–20)

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?

[10 Baseball Gags] Somaō Meatball’s Club-Usable Jokes
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!

Sunshine Ikezaki: “Unprecedented and unparalleled!”
unprecedented and unrepeatable Sunshine 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!
