Intro Self-Introductions and Icebreaker Gag Special (11–20)
Infinite Self-Introductiontriple time
The self-introductions at the start of a manzai routine often follow a familiar structure: they deliver solid laughs while letting the audience get to know the duo’s characters.
Here’s an opening gag by the manzai duo Sanbyōshi that puts special emphasis on that introduction.
First, one of them sums up who he is in a single line, and then introduces his partner with a point that invites a comeback—this is the flow.
The rhythm of introducing the partner with a phrase similar to the one used for oneself gives the impression of building momentum for the material that follows.
greetingPekopa
Pekopa is a comedy duo popular even among elementary school kids.
Their material is basically sketch comedy, but if you want something for a quick gag, why not imitate their signature greetings? You could copy Shuhei, the boke, with his funny and cute pose-filled greeting, or Ta-yu Shoinji’s sharp, snappy greeting.
Either way, it’s sure to get everyone excited.
Shoinji’s greeting is hard to pull off at speed once you’ve memorized it, but if you master it, it’s guaranteed to kill!
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!
