Classic and Famous One-Liner Gag Compilation (1–10)
ToothAudrey Kasuga
Kasuga from Audrey’s famous “Tooth!” is a highly versatile gag—perfect for breaking a deadlock.
The lingering vibe and accompanying gesture after the “Tooth!” can really lift the mood even more.
Since it’s a classic gag everyone knows, the barrier to performing it isn’t that high, which is a nice bonus.
It tends to get a better reaction when used in moments of attention rather than in the middle of casual conversation.
Try delivering it confidently, just like Kasuga himself!
I don’t really get what you’re saying.Tomizawa from Sandwichman
This is a line that Sandwichman’s Tomizawa often delivers in their sketches, right after reacting to what the other person says.
Even though the words should be clear to anyone, the way he acts like he’s not trying to understand them makes it easy to see he’s playing a quirky character.
Rather than seriously asking back, he says it with a tone that implies “I’m not the one at fault,” which creates a nice rhythm.
Depending on what you follow this line with, you can deepen the character or move the story forward—making it a simple, versatile phrase.
GetsDandy Sakano
It’s just Dandy Sakano’s gag where he says “Gets!” while making a pistol shape with both hands.
It’s snappy, and above all it’s an extremely short phrase, so anyone can remember it right away and imitate it—that’s the beauty of it.
Adding a little prelude before it also helps build excitement.
You could say it’s one of the classic, universally known gags.

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!
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!
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!
