Aim to be popular! One-shot gags that liven up the school (51–60)
Challenge the bamboo dance
Why not try your hand at a bamboo dance that uses long bamboo poles? It originated as a traditional dance in places like the Philippines, but in Japan it’s also well known as a children’s activity.
The operators open and close four bamboo poles to a waltz-like three-beat rhythm, while the dancers step nimbly to avoid getting caught by the poles.
Because coordination between the operators and dancers is crucial, it’s a great recommendation for those looking for a party trick to perform with close friends or classmates.
Start by practicing with two poles, then increase the number once you’ve got the rhythm down.
Having multiple dancers raises the difficulty, but it also adds to the performance’s color and impact.
Flash Anzan
Flash Anzan is a mental arithmetic technique where you keep adding numbers that appear one after another in your head.
If you show it off at a group dating party, it could be a great way to highlight your intellectual ability.
Since you want to boost your attractiveness at such events, it’s best to pull it off smoothly without any mistakes.
There are lots of problems available on video sites and apps, so try ones that match your level.
With mental arithmetic, getting the hang of the technique matters, but practicing repeatedly also improves both accuracy and speed.
That’s why steady, daily practice is highly recommended.
Ensemble of plastic bottle shakers
Let’s try performing with handmade instruments made from plastic bottles! The sound changes depending on the thickness and shape of the bottle and what you put inside, so experiment with different ideas as you make them.
Once your instrument is ready, start tapping out rhythms along with a song right away! The pitch will likely vary depending on the instrument, so try arranging the order in which you play them.
I think choosing a simple melody works well, but if you boldly pick a popular song everyone loves, it might get the crowd even more excited.
Lifting Play Song
“Lifting Play Song” is a song you can play with while doing keep-ups as you sing.
It was born from an idea introduced in Hirotaka Nakagawa’s radio program ‘Visible Radio!’ in the popular segment ‘Everyone’s Hidden Talents.’ This song is a play song where you move your body to the music and lightly use your feet and body together like doing keep-ups.
But how about actually trying real keep-ups with this song? You can enjoy it with friends and family.
Be sure to use it to liven up events or school performances!
Unicycle master!
A unicycle is more challenging than a bicycle because it doesn’t have handlebars.
That’s exactly why people who can ride one look so impressive! It’s also a perfect idea to show off as a hidden talent.
The key to riding a unicycle is to focus on moving forward from your navel.
Start by simply pedaling straight, then gradually try turning and taking curves.
Performing solo is great, but forming a team with a few people and presenting a dance-like routine to music is also highly recommended! Give it a try!
Blindfold Dance
Perform a dance while blindfolded! What makes this bit so funny is that even people who are good at dancing suddenly can’t dance or start moving awkwardly once they’re blindfolded.
You can use it to show off how cool your dancing is, or play it for laughs—either way, it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Dancing solo is great, but we also recommend trying it with multiple participants to a song with a famous choreography.
Choose a track where everyone knows the real dance, and give it a go!
Cup performance
The cups performance became known worldwide thanks to the movie Pitch Perfect.
Basically, it uses plastic cups to create sounds and rhythms, incorporating clapping to express harmony.
You can perform it solo or with multiple people.
When done with a group, you can pass cups to each other, which broadens the range of the performance and adds impact.
Try coming up with your own take and show it off.
I tried becoming a historical figure.
How about performing a quiz themed around famous historical figures as a quick gag? You could crawl around on all fours shouting “Tsuyoshi!” to portray Tsuyoshi Inukai, or clap your hands quietly with a distant look to portray Kim Jong Un.
Picture the person’s name and traits, and use your body and facial expressions to represent them.
The way you act it out will look pretty funny to the audience, so I think it’ll become a one-shot joke that makes people laugh while they enjoy the quiz.
ASICS
@kuropafuu A one-liner gag you can use starting tomorrow.#ComedyOne-shot gag#GagFootOctopus#Takoyaki#NSC43rdTermYoshimotoSneakersComedy entertainerFashionable#StayAtHomeSquadkuro#VivaBebop#IWantToBeOnTheRecommendationsASICS
Original song – Viva Bebop – Kuro
While saying, “Legs are growing out,” you mime pulling legs out of your body.
After you’ve pulled out six legs, you say, “Six legs… ASICS!” to get a laugh.
It’s a pun on “ashi” (legs) and “six,” landing on the sports brand.
Anyone who knows ASICS might see the punchline coming, but that’s exactly why the joke is easy for everyone to get.
If you perform it while wearing ASICS shoes, it ties the setup and payoff together and might get an even bigger laugh.
Junior high school mathematics Question 4
@doromamireissei Summer is almost over, isn't it?A sure-fire one-liner that will absolutely killA guaranteed viral one-liner gagOhta ProductionComedy entertainerIsseiCovered in mudOne-shot gag#YuzuSummer Colors
♪ Original Song – Issei – Issei
A gag where you turn a speed-related math problem into a parody song set to the melody of Yuzu’s “Natsuiro.” It’ll make people want to ask, “So, what’s the answer?” and someone quick-witted might blurt it out and hype the room even more.
When performing this bit, use your hands to show a slope or sing as if you’re riding a bicycle to get more laughs.
It also helps to sing with a cool, confident expression, as if you’re an artist.
Be sure to practice the song so you can deliver the problem in time with the melody.
