Simple one-shot gags you can use for entertainment, parties, and weddings (1–10)
Sesse-seiyaSeiya (of Shimofuri Myojo)
This gag by Shimofuri Myojo’s Seiya, famous for the shout “Ses-ses-seiya!”, features karate-like poses and a spirited call—so you might think anyone can do it, right? Then it continues with the suddenly laid-back line and pose, “What the heck is that~,” as if the character has changed.
These two parts together make it complete.
How about doing it as a set after sharing a quick tidbit or an inside joke? Even if your inside joke falls a bit flat or doesn’t land well, this could help you power through.
Heave-ho!Fusūya
The comedy duo Foosuya hooks you with catchphrases like “Nothing too much” and “Oh my godfather descending”—you don’t understand what they mean at all, but the brisk pace makes you laugh, and you get addicted to how good they sound.
After the catchphrase, the two of them immediately shout in unison, “Yoisho!” You do feel overwhelmed by the rapid-fire words and movements, but how about trying that yourself? It might be the perfect act to power through a situation on sheer momentum.

Teacher gagYes! Akito
Impersonating school teachers can be a big hit among friends, and teacher jokes might be a classic.
This particular teacher gag is a bit unusual: it humorously compiles the go-to phrases that get used across any subject and teaches them all at once.
It’s really funny how each subject is captured precisely in a single line, and the ordering is brilliant too.
It probably takes real talent to pare things down this much while still conveying everything.
It’s a lot of fun, so give it a try yourself!

♪ Original Song – Somaō Meatball, 7/4 21:00– YouTube Live Stream – Somaō Meatball
This is a gag posted on TikTok by the solo comedian Somao Meatball.
It follows the phrase used to admonish people who always argue back when criticized: “If I say this, they’ll say that.” The simple idea is that “say that” (kou iu shi) sounds similar to “matador” (tougyuushi).
Another key point is the contrast at the end between the frustration toward the other person and the cow’s moo.
If the energy doesn’t quite build, it might be best to really emphasize the final “Moo!!” and power through on momentum.
Ponn poon!EXIT
“PON-POOON,” like the shout or back-channel interjection from the neo-party-people comedy duo EXIT.
When do you use it? …Anytime works! Whether the vibe is hyped and ready to go, or the room has gone awkwardly quiet, throwing out a “PON-POOON” is sure to change the atmosphere somehow! Don’t just save it for the performance—feel free to drop a PON-POOON during casual chit-chat, too!
Be 〇〇!Sanshirō
Among the many punchlines delivered by Sanshiro’s Komiya, this one stands out as especially memorable and has even taken on a life as a gag in its own right.
It’s a curious type of retort that corrects the setup and presents an ideal of how it should be.
The content is simple, but combined with Komiya’s greatest weapon—his poor enunciation—it ends up sounding funny.
Another amusing point is how, by speaking while slightly exhaling, it gives the impression that he’s almost pleading with the setup.
It’s Saito-san, you know.Trend Angel Saito
Trendy Angel, who won the M-1 Grand Prix in 2015, has since become a familiar face on TV.
Their catchphrase “I’m Saito, you know” is delivered with a stance that seems to say, “Who do you think you’re talking to?” The trick is to say it in a slightly nice voice with a bit of a pause.
How about perfectly copying one of Trendy Angel’s routines, or swapping parts of it for inside jokes among your group? And of course, you can change “Saito” to your own last name and give it a try!
