[Funny] A compilation of videos themed around silence [Art]
A while back, there was a trend on video sites where people would watch with the audio muted.
Just doing that can make even the coolest visuals feel surreal—and somehow, you end up laughing.
It made me realize how important sound really is.
Anyway, this article compiles videos that focus on “silence.”
You might be thinking, “What does that even mean?” But seeing is believing—please check out the videos featured here.
Audio is inseparable from moving images, which is exactly why there are art pieces that take silence as their theme.
Of course, there are also videos that are simply laugh-out-loud funny.
[Funny] A Compilation of Videos Themed Around Silence [Art] (1–10)
You can enjoy this video even with the sound turned off.
It’s a video where everyone from the popular group Tokai On Air takes on various challenges.
You can enjoy it twice: the first time without sound, and the second time with audio.
Muted, it becomes absurdly surreal and hilarious.
Then when you watch it again with sound…? You’ll feel like cleaning the faintly grimy room in the background.
Silent Hajime’s Room
This video features six popular YouTubers, including Hajime Syacho and Tommy, silently enduring a series of punishments at 2 a.m.
Slaps, dog milk, rubber band snaps—it’s hilarious as is, but trying not to make a sound makes it even more side-splitting!
Karaoke-style footage (silent)
As the title suggests, it’s a karaoke-style silent video.
You can look up the details, but to put it simply, it’s a video made for a karaoke contest organized by the site Daily Portal Z, where participants try saying the kinds of announcements you often hear on TV, radio, or in the streets.
It only looks like karaoke—there’s no actual song.
The performers are popular writers active mainly online.
It’s the kind of production that makes you want to say, “That’s so spot-on!”
Silent Breakdown
Even a brief breakdown in the middle of a song—a so-called “break”—can startle listeners, even if it lasts just a single beat.
Many people may feel as if time itself has stopped.
Here’s an example that incorporates that break even more effectively within a track.
After playing at full blast with perfectly synchronized movement, even the audience in the venue might be wondering what just happened.
Silence doesn’t mean nothing exists; you could say it’s a space in which no sound is occurring, spreading out before you.
Challenge the silent video!
The Johnny’s group SixTONES, who made their major debut in 2020, take on the challenge of creating a silent video that doesn’t rely on words or sound effects! Fans might be worried, thinking, “Can these chatterboxes really make a video without speaking?” But the members came up with the concept together, and even though they couldn’t help laughing along the way, they managed to complete a solid—maybe even slightly scary?—video.
The key figure in the story is Shintaro Morimoto.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or someone not very familiar with SixTONES, please check it out! And why not try making your own silent video, just like SixTONES?

This is footage of the giant aquarium tank at Osaka’s aquarium.
Watching various kinds of fish leisurely swimming under gentle blue lighting is soothing.
It runs for a full 12 hours, so it’s perfect as a screensaver or a welcome monitor.
Aqua Toto Gifu: Fish and Living Creatures
This is footage of the animals at the World Freshwater Aquarium in Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture.
Fish swim gracefully through a beautiful river.
Perhaps thanks to the good water conditions, they all seem to have a lively sheen and bright eyes.
It’s a refreshing video that could even be used on waiting room monitors.
