Classic and Famous One-Liner Gag Compilation (1–10)
YupYasuko
Yasuko is a comedian who draws on her background in the Self-Defense Forces for her act.
Her signature catchphrase is “Haii” (“Yesss”).
She uses it both as a response when someone asks her something during talk segments and as part of her sketch material.
It’s funny on its own, but it tends to get a bigger reaction when she gives a little setup before delivering it.
By the way, there’s also a variation where she riffs by rhyming similar-sounding words with “haii.” Try checking it out on video sites like YouTube.
GoigoisuDiane Tsuda
Originally, it was a word Tsuda from the comedy duo Diane used as a higher praise than just saying “amazing” when asked for his thoughts.
From there, it gradually became a phrase that symbolizes Tsuda—an over-the-top, momentum-only one-shot gag.
Because it’s just a simple pose with one hand spread and a short word, the punchy timing of delivering it and the pause while waiting for the reaction are what make it funny.
There are also versions where the pose is the same but the word is different, so it’s fun to try various patterns and see how people react.
Ramen, dipping noodles—I’m handsome.Eiko Kano
Eiko Kano’s “Ramen, tsukemen, I’m handsome” has the power to completely change the atmosphere of a place.
Its charm lies in the snappy wordplay, and it’s not just about repeating it—you can add slight variations to suit any situation.
Perform it at a school event like a cultural festival, and you’ll definitely be the center of attention! The hallmark of this gag is that it’s simple, easy to remember, and packed with elements that make listeners smile.
If you want to expand your circle of friends or become the class mood-maker, this gag is a great reference to try.

Go ahead, please.Dachou Club
It’s one of the signature gags of the comedy trio Dachou Club, who have many gags.
When something nobody wants to do—like a punishment game—appears, one person boldly volunteers first, then others follow suit.
Pushed along by the group’s momentum, at the moment the last person volunteers, everyone yields the turn to that person—That’s the punchline.
The key to making it exciting is having three or more people to create the flow: the one who leads, the ones who follow, and the one who ends up having to do it.
Expressions and reactions are crucial too—like reluctantly volunteering or getting mad when it’s foisted on you.
That doesn’t matter!Yoshio Kojima
A gag by comedian Yoshio Kojima.
Right after telling a negative story, he dances and says, “Sonna no kankei nee!” (“That doesn’t matter!”).
His signature phrase “Oppapii” is catchy, too.
For “Sonna no kankei nee!” go all out with big, powerful movements, and for “Oppapii” keep it loose—adding that contrast in tempo will hype up the crowd even more!
PPAPPikotaro
There was even a time when, if you asked comedians, “Who’s the funniest comedian right now?” almost all of them would answer, “Kosaka Daimao!” That very Kosaka Daimao made a timeless comeback as Piko-Taro.
His PPAP bit sparked a worldwide craze.
Skillfully linking the words pen, apple, and pineapple to a catchy rhythm and crafting an addictive melody that makes you think, “I want to sing it too!”—that’s classic Kosaka.
Since so many people know it, singing it together in class would definitely get everyone hyped.
Just be careful not to get so excited that the teacher scolds you!
AiinKen Shimura
It’s a simple bit where you jut out your chin, bend your elbows, and say “Aiiin”—a classic gag by Ken Shimura that everyone knows.
Because it’s such a short phrase, it actually packs a bigger punch.
There’s no point overthinking it, but I still don’t really understand the meaning… nonetheless, I recommend it as a joke that works for anyone!
