Self-Introductions: Opening Gag Specials (21–30)

[To all women] A collection of Kumamoto Pro Wrestling’s wholehearted shouts of “Ladies—!”
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.

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

[One-off joke] An ambulance with a recorder #shorts
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

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.

♫ Original song – Baseball Hall – Baseball Hall

This is a gag devised by the comedian Ganbaru Taro.

He swings a bat and sets it up with, “Was that a lineout to short?” then follows with, “Just a little more to center.” It’s a play on the Art Moving Center commercial jingle.

Many of you have probably heard it before.

Perform it in front of your baseball-loving friends and the place is sure to be filled with laughter! Ganbaru Taro has many other gags as well, so if you’re interested, go check them out.

Endless self-introductionDonguri Takeshi

[Donguri Takeshi] Solo Act: "Self-Introduction"
Endless self-introduction Donguri Takeshi

The nonsensical one-shot gags of solo comedian Donguri Takeshi are oddly addictive.

You also see him appearing as the trio “Yes! Donguri RPG” alongside fellow solo comedians Yes! Akito and Satsumakawa RPG in award contests and TV shows.

Donguri Takeshi’s self-introduction goes on and on—he throws in words that don’t even sound like a self-introduction—but for some reason it draws you in and sticks in your ears.

And to finish, he tags on “Donguri Takeshi~!” with a distinctly quirky intonation.

If the rhythm fits, why not try swapping in your own name?
