They are specifically practicing their special moves, and are nervous when their name is called when it's time to do them, though their expressions don't change[2]. The Toss Boys also have fun changing their hairstyles and trying out new fashion in Toss Boys 2, and becoming delinquents in Remix 5[3]. Their performance is rated by their Kantoku (カントク?, Director).
Ao-kun and Kii-yan have at least once participated in a manzai routine, with Ao-kun playing the tsukkomi (straight man) to Kii-yan's boke (funny man).
