Aim to be popular! One-shot gags that liven up the school (41–50)
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
Imitating sounds with a recorder
Let’s try performing a one-shot gag using the recorder that we often played in elementary school.
Simply playing a popular tune is more than enough, but if you want to show off something surprising and funny, how about recreating sounds you’d never expect to hear from a recorder? The example here is the sound of an ambulance.
It convincingly captures everything from the approaching wail to the sound as it moves away.
If you didn’t know it was a recorder, you might mistake it for a real ambulance.
