A Story That Never Fails (to Get Laughs)NEW!
If you’re confident in your sense of humor, why not show off a “can’t-fail story”? A can’t-fail story is a real-life episode that anyone can hear any number of times and still find funny.
In addition to being a surefire way to liven up the mood, this party trick can also be a great opportunity for people to get to know you.
As you think back on your daily life, try to uncover the can’t-fail story sleeping within you.
And to make your story a success, be mindful of how you tell it!
Baseball one-shot gag
@yakyukan Kosei’s all-out baseball one-shot gag ⚾️ \ [Moving Baseball] 🚚⚾️ / Everyone, try using it at school or with your team 😉 If you thought it was funny, let me know with a like 👍✨#BaseballHallBaseball
♫ Original song – Baseball Hall – Baseball Hall
After you swing the bat, say, “Ah, a liner to short.” Then, using the melody of the Art Hikkoshi Center commercial jingle, say, “Aah—just a little more—to center!” It’s a gag that’ll make anyone with baseball knowledge who knows that jingle chuckle.
The key is to look disappointed right after the hit, and then, after saying “to center,” strike a smug pose and look at the crowd.
If you don’t have a bat, just miming the swing is fine.
punNEW!
Let’s whip up a whirlwind of laughter at parties and welcome gatherings with puns, a form of wordplay.
A one-shot pun routine is popular across generations, so it’s likely to get everyone going regardless of age.
You could team up with a new-hire colleague to perform, or go solo with a stand-up-style stream of puns—either way sounds fun.
Since you’ll be sparking laughs with words, the key is to deliver them confidently without embarrassment.
You’ll also need a lively, let-loose presentation in front of everyone, so give it a try.
It might even help you quickly break the ice and get closer with seniors and managers.
Memorizing pi
If you’re good with numbers, memorizing pi is definitely something you should try.
It may not be particularly useful for studying, strictly speaking, but it never hurts to know it.
The trick is to use mnemonics or songs.
By the way, the world record is held by someone who has memorized over 80,000 digits.
Sport stackingNEW!
This is a performance that uses 12 plastic cups.
Sport stacking is a sport where you stack and unstack cups in predetermined formations without mixing up the order.
The key seems to be doing it smoothly.
Many people get hooked on it, and there are even world championships.
If you time yourself, it can be even more exciting.
You can perform solo, but trying it as a pair is also recommended.
How about performing it with a colleague who joined the company at the same time as you?
recorder performanceNEW!
If you’re looking for a quick musical gag, how about using a recorder? You probably associate the recorder with playing children’s songs, but you can play popular tunes on it as well.
There are plenty of performance videos out there, so you can just imitate them and practice.
Start by finding a song you like.
It’s already funny the moment you pull out a recorder that reminds people of grade school, and the crowd will get hyped when you launch into a popular song from there.

cheering squadNEW!
If you want to do a party trick with a few people, why not try a cheer squad routine? Cheer squads you often see at sports days and games are powerful and are sure to draw attention at parties too.
Wear a school uniform-style jacket and white gloves for the perfect look.
A drum would be great to have as well! Project your voice with spirited cheers while keeping the choreography tightly in sync.
Creating a sense of unity will raise the quality of your cheer squad performance.
And if you appoint an unexpected person as the captain, you might even capitalize on the surprise factor!
