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.
Yaa! Power!Nakayama Kinnikun
Nakayama Kinnikun is a comedian who has gained popularity with a style that fuses comedy and muscles—he even once “studied abroad” in the U.S.
for bodybuilding while already having debuted as a comedian.
He’s known for breaking out early despite having strong peers from the same generation like King Kong, Nankai Candies, and NON STYLE, and in recent years his YouTube channel leveraging his training knowledge has become very popular.
His signature gags, “Yaa!” and “Power!”, have actually been around for a long time, but they’ve become a huge hit again, even earning a nomination for the 2022 U-Can New Words and Buzzwords Awards during his resurgence.
Because they’re simple, they’re easy to imitate—perfect one-shot gags that you could even use in school, say during P.E.
class.
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.

Atarimae TaisoCOWCOW
COWCOW’s “Atarimae Taisō” routine, which once had all of Japan in stitches, might have come full circle and become the funniest bit right now.
Pick a close friend in your class as your partner and try performing “Atarimae Taisō.” It’s fascinating how just singing obvious phenomena and events to a rhythm—like “If you put out your right foot and then your left, you can move forward,” or “If you suddenly slap someone’s cheek, they’ll get mad”—becomes hilarious! By the way, COWCOW are contemporaries of London Boots No.1 No.2 and Gussan from DonDokoDon.
With their long years in comedy fueling the ultimate rhythm-based routine, be sure to copy it perfectly!
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!
La la la laiFujisaki Market
This is “La La La Rai Exercise” by the comedy duo Fujisaki Market, often called pioneers of rhythm-based comedy.
It’s a long-loved gag, so people of all ages—from children to adults—can enjoy it, which explains its popularity.
From the dance choreography to the pacing of the lines, you could say it’s an almost perfect gag.
Wh-aaat!? You really went and did it!Coolpoko
In the comedy duo Coolpoko’s gag, they pound mochi while riffing on everyday scenes.
First off, their look makes a real impact, right? And their signature line, “Whaaat!? You really went and did it!” has an addictive kind of humor, doesn’t it? How about trying it with some relatable everyday ‘that’s so true’ situations?
