Aim to be popular! One-hit gags that will hype up the school (1–10)
Impersonation
For a quick gag, impressions are a timeless classic.
Anyone can learn to do impressions with practice, so give it a try.
When you practice, record yourself with your smartphone—seeing it objectively helps you tell whether it really sounds similar or not, so it’s recommended.
Just like in this video, impressions of manga or anime characters are great, and if you’re doing it at school, impressions of teachers really get the crowd going too.
Bubble Dance
The bubble-era dance, which has become a staple of party tricks, is a crowd-pleaser across generations.
You can go all out with the costume and makeup to put on a full performance, or if it’s hard to prepare those, just doing a light version of the dance works too.
If you want to use it as a quick gag, try suddenly turning around and doing the famous opening moves—that surprise timing really hits.
Striking a “cool” pose while you dance is the key to getting laughs.
Elementary school kids who like dancing should definitely give it a try.
Impressions that are too subtle for anyone to get
The “too subtle to get across” impersonations that pick out tiny actions and gestures people usually overlook are a great one-shot gag to entertain everyone.
For example, the Asagaya Sisters’ portrayals of quirky characters suggest endless possibilities.
Another idea is mimicking the launch sound of a roller coaster at an amusement park on the verge of closing—once you master it, the laughs are limitless.
That said, seriousness is key: you need to recreate it with meticulous attention to detail.
With impersonations that leverage surprise and fine observational skills, you might just become the center of laughter in your class.
unprecedented and unrepeatableSunshine Ikezaki
Sunshine Ikezaki’s signature bit “Kuzen-Zetsugo” (Unprecedented and Unrepeatable) is something both comedy fans and non-fans have probably heard at least once, right? The routine is simple—he just keeps introducing himself—but that self-introduction is hilariously funny! Try performing your own funny self-introduction that starts with “Unprecedented and Unrepeatable” as a quick gag.
It could be a two-birds-one-stone chance to get laughs and let people learn about you.
Ikezaki’s outfit and hairstyle are distinctive too, so if possible, try copying those as well.
Teacher relatable jokes
Do you have any teachers at your school with strong personalities? A classic way to get everyone excited among people at your school or those who know them is teacher “relatable” jokes.
If you practice imitating their clothes, voice, and mannerisms exactly, you’re sure to be a hit.
To pull off this kind of quick skit, it might be important to keep observing people in your daily life.
rhythm-based comedy bit
@music_24365 5 nostalgic rhythm gags#ComedyComedianRhythm skitNostalgic
Honnō-ji Incident – Explosions
Rhythm-based bits are a staple of one-shot gags.
Here, we’ll introduce five well-known, nostalgic rhythm routines: “Honnoji no Hen,” “Attakaindakara,” “Rassun Gorerai,” “Dancing Fisshon Tribe,” and “Atarimae Taiso.” They all involve using your body, so performing them should be fun.
However, some can’t be done solo, so try those with friends who love comedy.
Many of today’s elementary school kids might not know these routines, so they could actually feel fresh and new.

♬ Original song – Somaō Meatball – Somaō Meatball
This is a one-shot gag where you do a parody of Nobodyknows+’s “Kokoro Odoru” and perform a comedic bit.
It’s funny because, during the catchy parts of the lyrics, you say “shinnyō” while using your hands and body to form the shape of the radical shinnyō.
On top of that, connecting it to the kabuki actor Ebizō adds an element of surprise.
If you really evoke a kabuki actor through your expressions and poses, you’ll likely get applause along with laughter.
Gags that incorporate song and rhythm are fun to practice, so definitely give it a try!
