Aim to be a crowd favorite! One-shot gags that will hype up the school (31–40)
Parody of a commercial
There are those famous commercials that everyone knows, right? How about doing a bit that uses a memorable line or jingle from one of those ads? The one introduced here is a skit based on CHOYA’s “Sararito Shita Umeshu” commercial.
To the melody used in the ad, they stroke their own arm and say, “smooth arm hair.” I’m sure there are other commercials you can use, so why not look around and come up with your own bit? Your original routine might just steal the laughs!
A flutist using things you have at home!
At school, we don’t often get the chance to play instruments other than the recorder or the melodica.
But did you know you can play something like a flute using items you have at home? Try performing with objects that can produce a lovely, flute-like sound.
For example, a bottle! Place your lower lip on the mouth of the bottle, and blow as if you’re directing your breath toward the far edge of the bottle’s opening, rather than into the inside of the bottle.
For low notes, blow with a “hoo, hoo,” and for high notes, push your tongue slightly forward and blow like “hyoo, hyoo.” Adjust the sound and try making music with bottles, as well as items like chikuwa (a tube-shaped fish cake) or cups! It’s also fun to play together in a small ensemble.
A tube-ken like a kendama!
When it comes to traditional Japanese toys, there’s kendama, but it requires equipment and you have to carry it around with you.
I’m not sure how it came to be, but there’s a game called “tsutsuken” that you can play like kendama using just a simple tube and a ball that’s a bit too big to fit entirely inside the tube.
For the tube, you could even use something like the container from tube-shaped potato chips.
It’s easy to get started, so practice regularly and be sure to show it off in front of everyone!
Finger tutting
Finger tutting is a dance that began gaining attention in the United States around 2008 and has since become widely recognized in Japan, using the fingers, wrists, and arms to express a variety of movements.
The waves, geometric shapes, and other patterns are astonishing—hard to believe they’re created with just the hands.
Since it requires no props and doesn’t need a large space like typical dances, it’s perfect for indoor group hangouts.
Why not start practicing steadily now so you’re ready to show it off?
portrait (caricature)
Being good at drawing can score you points even at a group dating party, right? If you’re confident, go ahead and casually sketch a quick portrait to show off your skills.
Anyone can be your model, but drawing one of the participants in front of you is a great way to really showcase your ability.
Setting a time limit like “one minute” can make it even more fun.
However, since you want to leave a good impression, be careful with caricature-style exaggeration—it can be risky! Make sure your drawing doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings or spoil the mood.
Elementary school kids’ manzai comedy! Five in a row
How about a strategy where you rattle off a bunch of not-so-funny, elementary-school-level gags to chill the mood or sober people up? Even things that aren’t funny can have meaning.
The moment you realize not everything has to land, your mindset starts to shift positively.
And if the gags themselves don’t get a laugh, you can tie it all together by saying, “Did that help sober anyone up? Did it make things feel a bit cooler?”—and just like that, your corny jokes take on a purpose.
A classroom-relatable skit
There are certain things at school that make everyone go, “So true!” right? Like the crushing sleepiness after school lunch or after swimming class, or the way the person whose attendance number matches the date always gets called on… How about putting on a short skit that showcases those school ‘relatable moments’? It’s a great idea to include not only things every elementary school student has probably experienced, but also quirks unique to your own school.
Doing impressions of distinctive teachers could be fun, too! Since the skit is built around shared experiences, it’s sure to get natural laughs from the audience.
Sing in a dialect
Singing in a dialect is a fun idea that warms everyone’s hearts and brings out smiles! Just adding a slightly different intonation or ending to your words instantly grabs the audience’s interest.
For example, try singing a song you know in the dialect of your hometown, or switch a popular song into a dialect—before you know it, people will be smiling and saying, “That dialect is so cute!” Dialects have a unique sound and warmth rooted in their regions, so simply singing in one can create a cozy atmosphere and make conversation flow more naturally—another reason it really livens things up.
It’s easy to try, so even if you feel a little shy, give it a go and have fun!
baseball gag
If there are a lot of sports fans, how about trying some baseball jokes? This article introduces a total of 10 bits, including gags that use players’ names.
Many of the jokes feature famous players, and there are also bits that even people who don’t know much about baseball can understand.
Some routines use well-known anime songs, so they should appeal to a wide audience.
Each bit is short, which makes them easy to remember—another nice plus.
If you only rely on one routine and it doesn’t land, you’ll be in trouble, so memorize plenty of short gags!
windmill
How about trying a big breakdancing move, the windmill? You keep your body close to the ground with both legs lifted and spin around in that position.
As a flashy party trick, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Be sure to do it in a spacious area.
