Popular comedy & manzai bits that are a hit with elementary school kids. Simple one-liner gags (51–60)
career womanBuruzon Chiemi
Comedian Chiemi Blouson’s skit—featuring a career-woman’s comically bold quotes inspired by music videos from artists like Beyoncé, flanked by handsome “with B” men waiting in the background—was hugely popular even among elementary schoolers, and everyone was quoting her catchphrase, “3.5 billion.” These bits, said to be inspired by Beyoncé’s music videos and the like, create a distinctly international vibe with their exaggerated expressions.
It’s even funnier when performed by a girl who’s usually the quiet, unassuming type.
[TikTok] Funny One-Shot Gag Compilation
If you want to do a funny one-shot gag, why not take inspiration from the funny one-shot gags posted on TikTok? Lots of ordinary people—like regular students, not professional comedians—are showing off their own best one-shot gags.
If you copy the gags you see comedians do on TV, you might end up overlapping with someone else, or people might be too used to them and the bar could feel too high.
But if it’s a one-shot gag from someone totally unknown, you don’t have to worry about that! Use them as inspiration and go all out with your own full-swing one-shot gag!
It must be ◯◯!
The manzai duo Q, from the Titan talent agency, has a hilarious routine called “It Must Be ○○!” Here’s how it goes: the funny man, Nibiro, claims two completely unrelated things have something in common and names them—like “the Grim Reaper and pizza.” Then the straight man, Makoto Shimizu, replies with a subtle shared trait: “They both use a scythe spatula!!” It’s both funny and impressively well-crafted.
Another key to the laughs is Shimizu’s dead-serious expression when he delivers “It Must Be ○○!” Also, keep an eye on his sharply pointed finger!
Zorori the Schemer’s puns
The ones who have long reigned as the kings of elementary school one-liners aren’t just trendy comedians.
It’s also Zorori, the protagonist of the picture book series Kaiketsu Zorori.
One-liners packed with toilet humor and puns are an elementary schooler’s absolute favorite, aren’t they?
It’s Saito-san.Trend Angel Saito
Trendy Angel is a duo made up of Mr.
Saito—who’s recently been showing his versatility by appearing in musicals—and Takashi, an idol-otaku.
Naturally, their championship-winning skill from the 2015 M-1 Grand Prix brings the house down wherever they go.
Their opening bit, “Hey mister, that’s trendy.” “Yup, I’m Trendy Angel,” is a rock-solid hook.
Even when you know it’s coming, you can’t help but laugh at the routine where Takashi sets him up and Saito fires back with, “Who do you think you’re talking to? I’m Saito!” The comfort of these ‘classic’ comedy beats is something elementary school kids love, too.
For the “I’m Saito” line, try swapping in your own name.
Since it’s a gag that works within a manzai-style flow, you might need a little practice to pull it off!
