Popular and trending one-liner gags & jokes (21–30)
Are we drilling or not? (Kansai dialect comedic phrase)
How about performing the skit “Drill Sun no kai? Sen no kai?” which won first place in “Elementary Schoolers’ Choice!! The Hottest Gags Around Us! New Comedy’s Top Picks!!”? In this routine, you press a soft stick against your partner’s chest and twist it like a drill, then, at the moment that seems just right, you fake as if you’re going to drill—but don’t.
This is a bit that doesn’t work without a partner, and it’s important to keep a good rhythm and sync with them when you perform.
Some people don’t like being touched, so pair up with a close friend who’s comfortable with it.
Two outfits and a stomachache

♬ Original song – Yuuki – I Can Walk on Stilts
It’s a gag where you step forward asking, “What hurts?” and, while showing two pieces of clothing, you say “stomachache.” The joke hinges on the Japanese pun: two is ‘tsū,’ which sounds like ‘fukutsū’ (stomachache).
Since you only need two garments, you can pull it off anytime—just borrow a friend’s jacket if needed.
The content is simple, so you can perform it for anyone.
However, it’s a very short gag, so it’s crucial to deliver it briskly and with confidence.
When you say the punchline—‘stomachache’—show no embarrassment; strike a funny pose and declare it with flair!

Fried rice with leftover ingredients, fried rice.Fusūya
This Fuusuuya routine is a slightly longer one-shot gag.
It starts with “Hey, you ate the XX I saved, didn’t you?” Then they argue because the other says they didn’t eat it, and it escalates into a scuffle.
In the end, one of them gets thrown and shouts “Hakkēi!” and they wrap up with a rhythmic “Using the leftover, leftover ingredients, fried rice, fried rice!” ending.
The storyline makes it fun to watch: there’s a touch of tension during the fight, and finishing with the fried rice rhythm gives it a lively, enjoyable punchline.
