Collection of stock jokes by situation (1–10)
Conductor impersonationReiji Nakagawa
Many people have probably seen or heard Reiji Nakagawa’s train conductor impersonations on TV or on stage.
If you want to mimic it as a quick gag, the key is to keep your voice slightly lower and deliver the announcements smoothly.
The tone changes significantly depending on the type of train and the location.
Preparing a variety of styles so it doesn’t get boring can make it even more exciting.
Give it a try at school and have fun with it!
wrapJoiman
Rhythm-based bits really get people hyped, don’t they? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce the rap routines of the comedy duo Joyman.
Many of you may already know them, but their raps are a bit different from typical rap.
They do rhyme solidly, but they occasionally mix in unrelated words or words with amusing contrasts.
How about watching some of Joyman’s routines first, and then trying to come up with your own original material? Rhyming using the names of people around you could be a great way to get the crowd going.
TT BrothersChocolate Planet
The TT Brothers routine by Chocolate Planet.
As long as there’s something that starts with T, you can do it right away, so I think it’s an easy one-shot gag to perform at school.
Instead of doing it solo, form a duo like Chocolate Planet and perform it in perfect sync to get an even bigger laugh! The key to getting laughs is to go all out without being shy!
Through-pass ChallengeGeraardon
A huge hit on social media and variety shows! Introducing Gerardon’s Pass-Through Challenge.
Gerardon is known for the striking characters they play in their sketches, but this time their serious expressions really draw viewers in.
Building suspense before the start further boosts anticipation—that’s a key point.
Attack Nishimoto’s facial expressions and movements heighten the surreal vibe, while Kamichii raising the flag creates a worldview where it feels like a legitimate competition.
Give it a try yourself!
No way, [name]!Takeru from Tokyo Hoteison

In one of Tokyo Hoteison’s routines, there’s this “I~ya, [blank]!” bit.
The way they say “I~ya” is insanely high-energy and funny, so try slipping it into other situations.
For example, use it when a teacher or friend says something incomprehensible or gives a wrong answer.
If you mimic their vocal tone a little, people will recognize it as “that Tokyo Hoteison thing,” which makes it easier to get the joke and even funnier.
Give it a try in your conversations with everyone.
Japanese-style conversationSuehirogarizu
The comedy duo Suehirogarizu, who competed in the 2019 M-1 Grand Prix and quickly rose to fame, have since become a familiar presence on TV.
Their big break came from a routine where one member holds a folding fan and the other beats a hand drum, as they rephrase everything into old-fashioned, Japanese-style wording.
How about livening up the atmosphere by adopting their Kyogen-like delivery? It takes a slightly advanced skill to switch languages on the fly, but it’s sure to be a hit!
Nooo!Tom Brown
This is a bit by the comedy duo Tom Brown.
Many of their routines are “fusion manzai,” where they combine celebrities or anime characters.
In these, the straight man, Nukagawa, often says “Dame~!” (“Nope!”) while taking a big horizontal swing with his arm and pretending to grab Michio’s head.
When someone makes a silly remark, jump right in with a quick “Dame~!” to snag the laughs!

exaggerated impersonationHollywood Zakoshisyoh
Among one-shot gag comedians, the especially power-type performer is Zakoshi “Hollywood” Sho.
He’s even won the R-1 Grand Prix, and his “Over-Exaggerated” series is the best.
It’s basically impersonations, but they don’t resemble the originals at all—nor does he intend them to.
It’s a style that makes great use of his funny physique, so if you think you’ve got what it takes, definitely use him as a reference.
Hey hey, doctorShunshun Clinic P
This is a routine by Shunshun Clinic P, who is a Japanese comedian, a medical doctor, and a member of the idol group Yoshimotozaka46.
He often does rhythm-based bits where he sings and dances while weaving in doctor-related jokes and medical information.
Even if it’s not medical-themed, it seems like it would get the crowd going if you adapted it into “relatable moments” from your own school.
career womanBuruzon Chiemi
This is a gag by the comedy unit “Blouson Chiemi with B,” consisting of comedian Blouson Chiemi and the duo Brillian.
As a career woman, Blouson Chiemi delivers her signature line, “3.5 billion,” while presenting a humorous take on a woman’s way of life.
As long as you include “3.5 billion,” the pattern is limitless, so it might be fun to come up with your own version of “3.5 billion!”
