One-shot gags of famous comedians and impersonation skits (11–20)
exaggerated impersonationHollywood Zakoshisyoh
Harisenbon Zakoshi, affectionately known as “Zakoshi,” is a 11th-term graduate of Osaka NSC, in the same cohort as Tomonori Jinnai and Kendo Kobayashi.
It took him a while to break through, but that late-bloomer vibe is so Zakoshi—and it’s cool.
His “exaggerated impressions” are pushed so far past the point of making sense that they loop back around and become hilarious.
He does impressions of Masakazu Tamura and Takuya Kimura—first straight, then exaggerated—and the way he “breaks” them down is totally unique! It takes a bit of practice to master, so train in secret, okay? Then you can really stand out at club events or new-member parties!
self-introduction gagOrutana Channel
This is a collection of one-shot gags themed around self-introductions, featured on the popular duo YouTuber channel, Orutana Channel.
These self-introduction gags are perfect as an opener for performances or party skits.
One thing that can be said about all the gags introduced here is that the key to getting laughs is to go all in without feeling embarrassed! In particular, the ones shown in this video are all unique with a quirky twist.
If you perform them boldly without hesitation, you’re sure to get a chuckle.
Impression/Parody Singing CoverAkimasa Haraguchi
A singing impression performance inspired by Akimasa Haraguchi, a true legend in the world of impersonations.
Choose a single song, and while singing it, showcase multiple impressions throughout.
If you’ve got a wide range of repertoire, it’s totally fine to take on the challenge solo! If that’s tough on your own, we recommend forming a group with a few people who can each do impressions.
As long as everyone brings out the unique character of the person they’re imitating, you can create a hilarious relay of impressions!

Kai~noKanpei Kazama
It’s also great to perform a joke that everyone knows.
So let me introduce Kanpei Hazama’s signature bit, “Kaii-no.” The way to do it is very simple: rub your butt against something nearby while repeatedly saying “kaii-no.” It’s easier to get if you watch the original, but try tightening your throat a little and saying it in a cute voice.
By the way, this gag is simple and highly versatile, so you can also slip it in during pauses in conversation.
A one-shot gag in a commercial
These are one-liner gag ideas based on commercials everyone’s heard at least once.
It introduces five bits that include themes like “chocolate,” “a female doctor,” and “clam digging.” Each piece is easy to follow, and they all end with a signature pose timed to a familiar line from a commercial, so beginners to one-liner gags should find them approachable.
While this material is designed for a solo performer, expanding the dialogue into a sketch-style exchange could also make it entertaining.
