* Here's something dub only: When Minoru's getting Tsukasa's profile, Akira comments that [[Sam Riegel|he]] [[Actor Allusion|sounds like]] [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|a nerdy turtle]].

== Episode 10 ==
* Soujirou has a fangasm when he realizes how similar Tsukasa and Kagami are to [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight|Sakura and Rin]].
* Konata's room is exposed. We see a [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Mikuru]] figurine, clearly the Gachapon version, and the poster of the Haruhi cast in bunny suits.

* In the Animate store, Anime Tenchou et al wanted to sell Konata a ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' DVD, but Konata left since she wanted to have an ''[[Aquarian Age]]'' souvenir.
* The girls discuss how 2ch speak has cropped up in tv a lot and Konata says that if someone understands, they have lost. (The Game).
Line 119:
* Konata's dad shouts "STRONGER!!" as he plays with static electricity, which is a reference to [[Kamen Rider Stronger]]'s henshin sequence.
* Ending theme was [[Doraemon]] no Uta.
* Konata mentions seeing a girl in a sailor uniform holding a machine gun on the train platform. A reference to ''[[Sailor Fuku-fuku to Kikanjuu|Sailor Suit and Machine Gun]]'', a 1980s TV drama that was remade in 2006, which OP was sung by Kagami at the end of episode 4.
 
 
Line 125:
* The entire episode is a trip to Comiket or Comic Market, the world's largest [[Doujinshi]] fair.
** Huge Haruhi poster on a moving truck, not quite sure if it's a ''Gekisou'' advertisement.
** One yellow car had a huge decal of [[ShuffleSHUFFLE!|Primula]] on it.
** Konata's shopping list at this Comiket is apparently REAL and is the actual Comiket held on December 31, 2006. Apparently, Konata was buying Hentai Haruhi doujins. See [http://www.moeside.net/weblog/2007/07/02/legendary-girl-a-konatas-comiket-shopping-list/ here].
** This is borne out as Kagami buys a Haruhi doujin, "Nurunuru Danchou-san" ("Wet+Wild Brigade Leader") and a Full Metal Panic doujin, "Ikenai Kanchou-san" ("The Naughty Captain" (i.e. Tessa)).
** The Miyakawa sisters, Hinata and Hikage, appear briefly in the background shortly before Konata's "reloading" scene. They were originally characters in the drama CDs and video games.
** Kagami gets Squicked by some [[Full Metal Panic!|Sousuke/Gauron]] [[Yaoi]] [[Doujinshi]] {{media-|[[Oh Lord]]media:OhLord.jpg| from a circle}}]].
*** [http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6195/kagamiandyaoi8862034.jpg Relevant].
** Hiyori makes a split-second [[Early -Bird Cameo]] in the scene where two Animate clerks try to sell Konata their doujinshi. No wonder she stood out in the [[Faceless Masses]].
** {{[[media-|:Lucky_Star_cosplay.jpg| A scene where Tsukasa walks outside among cosplayers}}]]:
*** Apparently, the others are [[One Piece|Nico Robin]], [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Alphonse Elric]], and a maid who may or may not be [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Sonou Mori]].
*** [[Code Geass|Suzaku Kururugi]]. If not then someone is wearing a uniform that looks suspiciously like an Ashford Academy uniform...
** Soujirou appears briefly, implying he went to Comiket as well.
Line 141:
*** Hotel Urashima is a real place, and was notorious when Comiket was held at Harumi. Small, expensive, and creepy.
** Is that a terrible [[Vocaloid|Miku Hatsune]]?
** When Meito Anisawa and Clerk Sugita chastise one customer for arriving late, behind Clerk Sugita is a poster of Rena Ryuuguu from ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]''.
** The poster on the wall where Clerk Sugita is punched into by Meito Anisawa is a ''[[ShuffleSHUFFLE!]]'' poster, but only Lisianthus is visible due to the dust. (I tried pausing it to see the others, but no cigar)
** When Clerk Sugita hits the wall after being hit by Anisawa, he mutters "''Asia''" -- this may be a reference to Master Asia from ''[[G-Gundam]]''
*** Confirmed a few scenes later, because Asa Shigure is clearly visible on the poster.
Line 153:
== Episode 13 ==
* The ending song is a reference to the episode in [[Suzumiya Haruhi]] where Taniguchi walks in to see Yuki lying in Kyon's hands.
* The scene where Konata thinks about the 100 poets, [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|she's shown with a duel disk, wearing a combination of Yugi and Kaiba's outfits (complete with an upside down Millenium Puzzle)]].
* In the Animate scene, when Mieto's assistant yells "Boss, we got her!" he is inside Giroro's tent from ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]''.
** Lots of references to Keroro Gunsou in this scene. For one, each assistant seems to parody one of the central characters: the male with the walkie-talkie is Giroro, the brunette is Tamama, and the blonde is Keroro.
** When blocking Konata's path, the brunette and the blonde laugh like Tamama and Keroro, respectively. Tamama's tail can be seen on the back of the brunette as well.
** When Konata is at the register, the store employees' facial expressions reference the characters of Keroro Gunsou.
* At one point, Meito Anisawa tries to use [[Code Geass|Geass]] to get Konata to buy something, complete with an [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Ash Ketchum]] [[Character Tics|hat turn]].
* When Kagami scolds Konata, Konata carries [[Kanon|wings]] behind her back and says "Uguuu!".

* Near the end of the episode, Die Lorelei is playing when Yutaka enters Konata's room. Since it's Konata, she was probably playing [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]].
* Minoru tries to sing "Koi no Minoru Densetsu". It's basically "Koi no Mikuru Densetsu" from Haruhi, with a few alterations. He fails, because the editing team cuts him off.
* Konata's speech about an anime where dead pets are resurrected refers to the 2001 series ''[[Angel Tales]]''... in which Aya Hirano played Momo the Monkey, one of her earliest roles.
Line 190:
** Konata performs "Hare Hare Yukai" on stage with Patricia Martin, who's cosplaying as Mikuru.
** When Kagami asks what the juice has in it, Patricia replies with, "禁則事項です", or "[[Classified Information]]".
** In the English dub, [[Crispin Freeman]] and [[Michelle Ruff]] voice two characters that are suspiciously similar to (they look, talk, and act the same as) [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Kyon and Yuki]]. Then Kyon and Yuki announce the next episode.
* Kagami is instructed by Konata to buy a ''[[Code Geass]]'' manga.
* Otaku mistake Tsukasa for [[To Heart|Akari Kamigishi]], prompting her to say "Hiroyuki-chan," which is what Akari calls male protagonist Hiroyuki Fujita, and one of the photographers is the director of the first season of ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' (the guy with the large glasses and camera).
Line 198:
 
== Episode 17 ==
* The split screen when the Izumi-Kobakawas prepare for Konata's birthday is taken from ''[[Twenty Four|24]]''.
* Konata said she wanted to be a [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Brigade leader]], [[Fist of the North Star|Nanto Shinken master]], and an anime storyboard artist. When Kagami asked about her special talents, she said she can name all [[Pokémon|Pok_mon]].
* Outside of the bookstore Kagami was holding a ''[[Rental Magica]]'' light novel.
* In the classroom Konata was reading the July 2007 issue of Comptiq, with [[Recursive Canon|LS on the cover]] and Haruhi on the back.
* When Kagami borrows Konata's history book, the drawings represent [[Noein]] characters, complete with someone shouting HARUKAAA !
* When talking about the Hiiragi sisters, Konata first referenced ''[[Little Women]]'', then to ''[[Cat's Eye]]''.
* In Lucky Channel, Anime Tenchou lists off a few of Hiromi Konno's previous roles -- two of them are [[Kikou Sennyo Rouran|Rouran]] and [[AIR (Visual Novel)|Potato]].
 
 
== Episode 18 ==
* When on an discussion on [[Animal Motifs]], the Miyuki in the [[Imagine Spot]] said [[Full Metal Panic!|Fumoffu]]!
* The animal show the Hiiragis were watching is likely to be ''Tensai! Shimura Doubutsuen''.
* Kagami was forcing Konata to read the first book of ''Kimi no Ita Kinou, Boku no Miru Asu''.
* When Konata mentioned an anime was postponed for 4 hours due to election coverage, she was referring to ''Lucky Star'' itself.

* Miyuki and Yukari watch ''[[The Grudge]]''.
* Yui reads a ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' manga with Rider on the cover.
* Hiyori's ''Apollo Justice: [[Ace Attorney]]'' drawings are dismissed by Yutaka and Minami to be of the same quality.
* Hiyori takes a picture of two people cosplaying as [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Edward Elric and Roy Mustang]].
* Hiyori puts Suzaku as her name when they went to bowl, and odds are it's [[Code Geass|Kururugi]] they're referring to here. Also, the adjacent bowler's lane has the names of the [[Suzumiya Haruhi|SOS Brigade]] members on the scoreboard.
* Hiyori parodies the nullification of [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Ryoko's]] Data Link.
 
 
Line 229:
* Haruhi's cola commercial.
* The mosquito-killing method: "[[Hokuto no Ken|You are already dead.]]"
* [[Daisuke Ono]] fills in for Minoru, and he and Akira pull off an [[Actor Allusion]] to ''[[AIR (Visual Novel)|AIR]]''.
** His outfit is also rather similar to what he wore in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]] no Gekisou''...
 
Line 245:
== Episode 22 ==
* In the scene where Yutaka is listening to music and then says, "Pittan, na ne Moji Pittan", it turns out that "Moji Pittan" IS a real song and [[Kyoto Animation|KyoAni]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUlNV_QMTKo actually animated Yutaka to its beat.]
* Minami straightening Yutaka's tie in Hiyori's [[Imagine Spot]] is a [[Mariasama ga Miteru (Light Novel)|Mariasama ga Miteru]] parody.
 
 
== Episode 23 ==
* A ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'' poster can be seen in Konata's room.
* The [[Humongous Mecha]] anime Konata is watching for the cute characters is [[Gigantic Formula]], as identified by the opening theme.
 
Line 261:
== OVA ==
* The episode's name is JK, which observant Tropers will know as the abbreviation for [[Joshikousei]].
* [[Instant Cosplay Surprise]] is invoked by Konata; while cosplaying as Yuki Nagato again, she transforms Kagami into a maid, a miko, [[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight|Rin Tohsaka]], and [[Vocaloid|Miku Hatsune]].
* When Konata briefly mentions the "[[Record of Lodoss War|Lodoss]] Tabletalk Game", she's talking about [[Dungeons and& Dragons]], specifically the campaign replays published in Japan that would eventually become the basis for the anime of that name. Naturally, most pen and paper RPGs are classified as Tabletalk RPGs in Japan.
* The promo food items that look out of place in the fantasy-based MMORPG are a poke at [[The Tower of Druaga]] MMO, which did much the same thing.
* The song that plays briefly during the volleyball game is the theme of ''[[Attack NumberNo. One1|Attack Number 1]]''.
* Konata orders Tsukasa and Misao to form up for the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Jet Stream Attack]].
* When Patty discovers Cherry's paw pads ''don't'' go [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud|puni-puni]], she lets out a loud cry of "[[Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei-sensei|ZETSUBOU SHITA!]]".
* The victory pose that Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa, and Kuroi make in the game is the ending pose of [[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Hare Hare Yukai]], with a random guy filling in Itsuki's spot and then walking away.
* When the gang gets lost in the mountains, Konata yells out "THE HEAVENS HAVE ABANDONED US!!!", a line taken from the film ''Hakkouda Mountain''.
* [[The Other Wiki|That's our Mi-wiki-san!]]
Line 280:
* The name of Konata's MMORPG is never given, but the BGM for it is "[[Final Fantasy XI|Filna Fatansy]]"
* A strip in the last bonus section of manga volume 7 points out the [[Vocaloid]] resemblances (Kagami - Miku, Tsukasa - Rin, Miyuki - Luka<ref>stated as "Third character not yet revealed"</ref>).
* Also in manga volume 7: when Kagami complained about Konata's huge (and growing) [[Dating Sim]] backlog, Konata wished she had the ability of [[The World God Only Knows (Manga)|Keima Katsuragi]].
** Keima was ''again'' referenced in Volume 8: over an online chat Kuroi mentioned there's been an increasing number of openly [[Otaku]] students. When Konata asked for details, Kuroi said "there's this one who was playing on his portable game machine during class. It seemed like a [[Dating Sim]], and the guy was really into it."
