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.

@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!
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.
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.
Impersonation clerk
An impressionist role that gets laughs by mimicking people or things everyone knows.
The key is to capture and express the distinctive features and highlights of what you want to imitate.
If you go all in and people burst out laughing because it’s “spot on,” that’s the best.
Don’t be shy—express yourself boldly and without fear.
It’s also important to observe and grasp the characteristics of your target.
Avoid doing impressions that might make others feel uncomfortable.
What matters is doing impressions that everyone in the class can laugh at.
backflip
Backflips are the classic party trick that never fails to amaze! That dynamic move that flips your body upside down is sure to grab everyone’s attention.
But don’t think, “There’s no way I can do a backflip right off the bat!” Start with a cartwheel and work your way up bit by bit.
Be careful not to get hurt.
It’s best to practice in a safe place and learn from a coach or someone experienced.
If you master the backflip, you’ll definitely become a class favorite! Be brave and give it a try.
Practice makes perfect!
