[Hilarious] Song Skits That Kill at Parties and Events (11–20)
Eikichi Yazawa
Even past 70, Mr.
Yazawa is still going strong.
I think this is an impression anyone can try—young people, and of course those who are older as well.
First, the first-person: Yazawa refers to himself by his surname, saying “Yazawa wa,” and that’s a must! It’s a perfect hook to grab the audience’s attention.
If you have long hair, go for a pompadour, and a red Yazawa muffler towel would really help too.
His singing also has a distinct style: if you extend the final vowel at the end of phrases, it really captures the vibe.
For example, instead of “yoru ni,” sing it like “yoru nii~.” Let’s recreate the excitement of a live show with popular songs everyone knows!
Look at your right elbow and left elbow alternately.2700
It’s one of 2700’s classic bits that many of you probably know! They repeat the line “Look at your right elbow, left elbow, back and forth” over and over to a rhythm.
It’s insanely catchy, sticks in your head, and becomes addictive! Their distinctive outfit—denim vest and denim shorts—is also a trademark, and if you can recreate that part too, it’ll hype things up even more!
Declaration of being fullTime Machine No. 3
Sada Masashi’s 1979 release “Kampaku Sengen” (The Lord’s Decree) is his biggest hit single and a famous song, yet its lyrics sparked a lot of debate.
That very “Kampaku Sengen” was parodied by the popular comedy duo Time Machine No.
3 as “Manpuku Sengen” (The Full-Belly Decree), which drew a lot of attention.
The lyrics, addressed to someone marrying an overweight man, are so painfully realistic that they’re honestly hilarious.
The punchline is perfect too, and if you perform it as entertainment at a party where pizza is being served, it’s guaranteed to bring the house down!
You shouldn’t, but you do.Jun Tablet
He himself seems to receive requests for performances from companies and unions, and often travels all over the country.
His material features everyday moments that make you think, “You really didn’t have to do that,” delivered with self-deprecation and relatable humor.
Since Tablet Jun’s persona is so distinctive, a perfect imitation might be tough, but plenty of people will likely get hooked on this world-building! Be sure to weave in original episodes and win over the hearts of hardcore fans!
The song about letting things that come from the right flow to the leftMoody Katsuyama
A moody song with no substance.
Many people were likely surprised when they saw that kind of song bit on Enta no Kamisama back in the day.
As for the lyrics, it’s easy to remember since it’s basically just letting everything go in one ear and out the other.
In terms of difficulty, it’s on the easier side, but you do need to sing the melody solidly in the second half, so vocal skill is required.
Also, nailing the distinctive look is key.
Recommended for those confident in their singing or good at low vocals.
At your feet and at your handsMoriseiju
A solo comedian from Asai Kikaku, “Mori Seiju,” does a bit he says was inspired by Piko Taro.
While holding a prop in his hands, he unleashes an endless stream of puns to a lively beat.
First-time viewers might coolly tune it out, thinking, “What is he even saying?” But if you can replicate the world he creates—delivered with the same hyped-up swagger and smug expression as Mori Seiju—you might attract a niche audience that finds the quirky atmosphere addictive.

stone-roasted sweet potatoHenderson
An incredibly catchy and emotional roasted sweet potato vendor song.
The lyrics are as warm as a baked sweet potato, and I almost can’t help but be moved (lol).
If you perform it for people who don’t know the bit, it’ll definitely get everyone excited.
If you do it, the better your singing ability, the funnier it’ll be! You could even try arranging the lyrics—like the rap part—into your own original version.
