One-shot gags of famous comedians and impersonation skits (11–20)
Girls~!red pickled ginger
This comedy bit starts its phrases with “Girls—” and is something Kumamoto Pro-Wrestling from the popular duo Benishoga excels at.
When you hear it at moments you’re about to forget how girls feel, you can’t help but think, “Yeah, that’s true.” It really hits where it hurts.
You can use it anytime to call out the behavior of someone who seems to be forgetting their girlish heart, so try it for a skit or performance.
You might even be able to flip it and use it as a guys’ bit, too.
Buruzon Chiemi
This is a bit everyone has seen at least once by now.
If you’ve got the BGM, costume, and that distinctive makeup ready, you’ve practically won already, right? The flexibility is high, so you can tailor the content to fit the context—that’s the key.
At a company party, you could even work in some inside jokes.
Even if a man does it, the strong visual alone should get laughs, don’t you think?
Yes! One-shot gagYes! Akito
How about imitating the comedic style of Yes! Akito, a comedian who also performs as part of the comedy trio, Kaiki! Yes Donguri RPG? Yes! Akito specializes in one-shot gags and performs in a style where he keeps delivering gag after gag, striking a guts pose and saying “Yes!” in between.
The high-energy gags contrasted with the perfectly tuned delivery when he says “Yes!” create a pleasant gap, and before you know it, you find yourself swept up in Yes! Akito’s rhythm.
You can copy Yes! Akito’s gags as they are, or use other gags and simply throw in a “Yes!” in between!
Stretchy for Kinue / stuffed tight for KinueZAZY
ZAZY, who made it to the finals of the solo comedy competition “R-1 Grand Prix” in 2021 and 2022.
His signature bit is “Kinue ni Panpan”! It’s a surreal flipboard routine where he suddenly feeds bread to a grandma, and once you hear those snappy lines, you’ll definitely want to imitate them.
Without props it doesn’t come across at all, so it’s best to do it in front of people who know a fair bit about comedy.
If you can, try to match ZAZY’s fashion, too! Perfect if you want to perform a more elaborate comedy routine.
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!
