Lucky Star/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Ascended Meme]]: "''Ore no Wasuremono''" is a whole song based on a meme from ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''; Konata also calls Miyuki "[[Fan Nickname|Miwiki]]" once in the OVA.

** Also in the OVA, when Konata's MMORPG party strikes a team pose, a random male character comes and joins in on the far right, then just walks away without anyone noticing.

* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: When Shiraishi {{spoiler|gets back from the death-trip Akira sends him on (which leaves him looking half-dead) and give her the water she asked for, she tastes it and spits it out, telling him how horrible it tastes and throws it in his face. His response? "AAAAAHHH!!! DO NOT MESS WITH ME!!!!" He then tells her off, quits the show, destroys the Lucky Channel set with his bare hands, fights off security, and finally attacks the camera man while Daisuke and Akira stand to the side in utter disbelief, before he runs at them, yelling "I SEE YOU STANDING THERE, YOU FU-" before the camera cuts off. We don't see Daisuke Ono after that...}}

*** Got even funnier around the summer of 2009 when the group the song was parodying released an album full of covers of anime tracks, and included their version of Gravity.

* [[Ear Worm]]: The main theme has a tendency to get stuck in one's cranium longer than would be preferred.

** Misao managed to be popular enough to snag a solo [[Image Song]] CD after already sharing one with Ayano.

** Soujirou, for older male readers-- [[Rule of Empathy]] works in here.

** Yukari, amongst the older readers, for being the darned cutest and most huggable mommy in anime (well, except maybe [[Kanon|Akiko Minase.]])

** [[Minoru Shiraishi]].

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Kanata didn't want her daughter to have Sou's personality. When she died, Konata didn't have a strong female role model to keep her grounded.

* [[Genius Bonus]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] heavily with all the anime, manga, and otaku references Konata makes. Her friends often have no clue what she's talking about.

* [[Growing the Beard]]: Many see episode 5, when the director of the show was switched from Yutaka Yamamoto to Yasuhiro Takemoto, as the turning point in which the series really started to get funny.

* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: Konata deems her weight-watching excessive.

* [[Les Yay]] (Some people see this between Konata and Kagami. Hiyori often sees this between Yutaka and Minami only to chastise herself by saying to herself that she shouldn't think about her friends that way.)

** "I want us to join our bodies!" Hard to get more blatant than that.

** In one of the [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|fourth wall breaking]] strips published in Kadokawa Hot Line catalog in 2005, Konata states that in order for [[Lucky Star]] to have a chance of being turned into an anime in the future, they need more romance in the stories. Kagami then points out the lack of men around, to which Konata responds that she didn't mention anything about men...

** Strongest example is Yutaka and Minami since they have a very close relationship. Kagami and Konata are very iffy and are bi at best. Kagami does seem to be conscious of Konata at times and Konata does seem to have a thing for moe female characters though.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: To a lesser extent than most, but for most of the fans all you have to do is mention chocolate horns...

** The extreme close ups of the fly and mosquito in Episode 20.

** The ending of the OAV especially comes to mind.

** Hiyori fell into this a bit in Episode 19. Something about her "frustration pose", with [[Scary Shiny Glasses|her eyes going blank behind her glasses]], a borderline [[Slasher Smile]], and the way she occasionally bobbed her head back and forth...

*** She also underwent a somewhat disturbing [[Art Shift]] when she tripped and moved to avoid injuring her drawing hand.

** When the deer snarl at Tsukasa in Episode 21, they straddle the line between this and [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].

* [[One True Pairing]]: Konata/Kagami, it has even got its own [[Portmanteau Couple Name]], not to mention tons of shoujo-ai artwork traversing the web...

* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]:

** Apparently "Konami" if you ship Konata and Kagami together. Probably the logical conclusion of otakus shipping otakus.

* [[Weird Al Effect]]: Timotei, an actual brand of shampoo, will always be associated with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5KH9Z383hE Konata's Timotei scene] to Lucky Star fans.

* [[The Woobie]]: Poor Tsukasa, whom the directors of the show REALLY get a kick out of portraying as a helpless little girl who is LITERALLY pushed around in a big man's world. Of course, this just makes her all the more adorable. Also, Kagami, who has to put up with constant abuse from Konata and never gets into the class she wants.

** Also Minami in the manga; she's often mistaken to be the one behind many no-nos, such as not cleaning up after her dog, or a prank involving pressing all the buttons in an elevator.

** Kuroi-sensei, not least during the [[Christmas Episode]].

* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: Yutaka, full stop. She is so cute that many people think of her as this way
