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