[Hilarious] Song Gags That Kill at Parties and Performances (21–30)
Party-People Manzaifox
They make their entrance to a retro intro tune, and just when you think a regular manzai routine is about to start, one of them pulls out a ukulele while the other plays dance music and sound effects from a sampler connected to a Mac and starts dancing—a party-vibe manzai act that’s made Kitsune popular.
Their unique look adds to the laughs, too.
It might be a bit of a hurdle for older audiences, but it’s sure to be a hit with younger people!
Pants meSuchiko & Shinya
Speaking of song-based comedy, the well-known duo “Suchiko & Shinya” comes to mind.
They’re also famous as the very first champions of the “Song Comedy King Championship.” This particular bit of theirs is actually a song gag that was released on CD.
It’s literally just a song about “looking at panties,” but it’s so catchy you can’t help but clap along.
It’s funny just to sing, so give it a try!
rallying cryAngel and Demon
This is a comedy bit by the duo Angel and Devil that revolves around the chants used during school club running.
The clever development shines: the lackluster chants in the first half are woven into a brilliant full song by the end.
Rather than a pure musical comedy, it feels like a manzai routine that features singing, keeping the audience entertained all the way through! It looks like it’ll take a little practice to perform, but definitely give it a try.
The demon of songsCOWCOW
It’s a pun not on “older brother” (oniisan) but on “oniisan” as in “demon guy,” where you dress up like a demon and sing a song full of relatable jokes.
True to their reputation as rock-band enthusiasts, it’s a striking bit done in a heavy metal style.
Of course, you can swap the relatable parts with your own everyday original episodes, and it would probably hype things up if you seriously practice the section where you do a death growl midway through.
PERFECT HUMANRADIO FISH
Oriental Radio, the duo that once had a massive hit with their “Buiouden” gag and have been appearing frequently on variety shows lately, are also seriously active in music as RADIO FISH! Their release caused a huge buzz at the time! If you perfectly recreate the outfits and choreography and go all out, it’s sure to get everyone hyped.
It might be even more fun if you adapt the lyrics to sing about your own group.
I wonder why.Tetsu and Tomo
This is a routine by “Tetsu and Tomo,” hugely popular with both kids and adults, released in 2003.
Whenever something in everyday life makes you wonder, “Why is that?”, you might find yourself humming their tune.
If you look for them, there are surprisingly many “why is that?” moments, so pack in plenty of inside jokes and get ready for big laughs! And if you can also make the lively dance your own, I think you can become a hit with people of all ages!
Elbow Festivalshooting star
This is a recommended bit for weddings, with celebratory gagaku music in the intro that brings a festive atmosphere from start to finish.
In time with the BGM, you admire and honor the elbow, expressing that joy through dance.
It’s truly an elbow-is-the-best!! kind of performance.
In the video, there’s a segment that explains the elbow festival dance, but let’s get the audience involved and actually hold an elbow festival together! You’ll surely be flooded with requests to perform from all over.
