One-Shot Gags: A roundup of sure-fire skits that will liven up any elementary school! (1–10)
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.
A Collection of Elementary Schoolers’ One-Liner Gags
When it comes to quick party tricks, many elementary school students probably think of gags, right? If you go for it and perform, it’s over in an instant, and it might be a good idea to have a few go-to bits prepared in advance.
Coming up with your own can be a high hurdle, so it’s a good idea to start by imitating routines from popular comedians.
Parody of a commercial
There are those famous commercials that everyone knows, right? How about doing a bit that uses a memorable line or jingle from one of those ads? The one introduced here is a skit based on CHOYA’s “Sararito Shita Umeshu” commercial.
To the melody used in the ad, they stroke their own arm and say, “smooth arm hair.” I’m sure there are other commercials you can use, so why not look around and come up with your own bit? Your original routine might just steal the laughs!
Are we drilling or not? (Kansai dialect comedic phrase)
How about performing the skit “Drill Sun no kai? Sen no kai?” which won first place in “Elementary Schoolers’ Choice!! The Hottest Gags Around Us! New Comedy’s Top Picks!!”? In this routine, you press a soft stick against your partner’s chest and twist it like a drill, then, at the moment that seems just right, you fake as if you’re going to drill—but don’t.
This is a bit that doesn’t work without a partner, and it’s important to keep a good rhythm and sync with them when you perform.
Some people don’t like being touched, so pair up with a close friend who’s comfortable with it.
Elementary school kid things
I might get shy since I don’t really have any party tricks… but maybe I could pull this off? It’s a one-shot gag where you comically share everyday “relatable moments” unique to grade schoolers.
For adults, these bits feel nostalgic—and a little embarrassing—but for current elementary school kids, they’ll probably land and get lots of laughs! Not just grade-school-specific things—those everyday “relatable moments” with teachers or in class are sure to be a big hit, too!
wotagei
Wotagei was originally a performance that fans did at idol concerts, but in recent years it’s become a go-to act for showcases.
Basically, you hold glowing penlights and dance in a dark space.
The light from the penlights lingers as afterimages in time with the fast moves, which looks really beautiful.
You can perform to songs by your favorite artist, or dance to popular tracks everyone knows—both are great options.
If you can put some thought into your outfit, why not try donning a different kind of otaku fashion than usual?
Recitation of pi
This is a pi song sung to the melody of the folk dance classic “Mayim Mayim.” You can memorize 71 digits of pi with this song.
Pi is basically a string of numbers, which can be hard to remember as is.
But if you learn it together with a song that every student has heard at least once, it’ll stick more easily.
It’s a simple bit where you just sing, but being able to recite 71 digits of pi will impress anyone.
How about performing it while dancing along to the song as well?
