Collection of stock jokes by situation (1–10)
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.
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.
Collection of Classic Tropes by Situation (11–20)
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!
Ear delinquentsViking Kotoge
Kotoge from the comedy duo Viking teaches you the “Ear Biker Gang.” You pose as if gripping motorcycle handlebars next to your ear, then imitate a biker gang’s engine sounds with your mouth.
Finally, you cap it off with a punchline! It feels like there’s a fine line between getting laughs and bombing, but even if it bombs, going all-in like this would still be pretty satisfying (lol).
By the way, the trick is to really project your voice!
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.
Huh?Rei Maruyama
It’s a phrase that became widely popular after being used as part of a routine by Rei Maruyama, who is active as an impersonation comedian.
It was treated as a gag line used instead of saying “Huh?” when someone trying to appear cute gets flustered.
Along with a cutesy, ingratiating tone of voice, the facial expression at the moment of saying it is also an important point.
You can use it simply as a cute word, but if you’re treating it as a comedic bit, I recommend exaggerating the pitch of your voice and your facial expressions when you perform it.
Look that way! (Attchi muite hoi) — a Japanese children’s game phrase similar to ‘Look over there!’ used during the ‘acchi muite hoi’ game.Kubota Dash
https://www.tiktok.com/@kubotadash/video/6700124261224303873From rock-paper-scissors to “Acchi Muite Hoi” — it’s a classic game almost everyone has played, right? Here’s a one-shot gag by solo comedian Kubota Dash that makes clever use of the “Acchi Muite Hoi” phrase.
The flow connects the final “hoi” to hoikoro (twice-cooked pork), then branches out to other Chinese dishes.
It’s important to build a clear progression starting from rock-paper-scissors, keeping a steady rhythm and steadily heightening the audience’s anticipation up to hoikoro.
Starting with dishes like hoikoro and happosai, focus on how the words sound and build your routine around that.
