** And right at the end: "[[KeroroGunsou Gero-geroo! Gero-ger]]--"
* [[BlackButler I would assume all butlers are named Sebastian...]]
** Because of the premise of the series, I would have to agree with you, but Sebastian seems to be a 'stereotypical' butler name, so it might not mean anything at all.

** The 2006 Japan Series was between Hokkido Japanese Ham Fighters and Chunichi Dragons, so Konata mentioned "blocks of ham."

* Here's something dub only: When Minoru's getting Tsukasa's profile, Akira comments that [[SamRiegel he]] [[ActorAllusion sounds like]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 a nerdy turtle]]. [[CompletelyMissingThePoint Granted, Akira calls him a turtle in the Japanese version...]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Episode 10]]
* Soujirou has a fangasm when he realizes how similar Tsukasa and Kagami are to [[FateStayNight Sakura and Rin]].

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Episode 12]]
* 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 [[{{Shuffle}} 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. The article that led me to this is [[http://www.moeside.net/weblog/2007/07/02/legendary-girl-a-konatas-comiket-shopping-list/ here]].
** 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 [[FullMetalPanic Sousuke/Gauron]] {{Yaoi}} {{doujinshi}} [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/OhLord.jpg from a circle]].
*** [[LuminescentBlush Squicked?]] It looked like something ''else'' to me...
*** [[http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/6195/kagamiandyaoi8862034.jpg Relevant]].
** Hiyori makes a split-second EarlyBirdCameo in the scene where two Animate clerks try to sell Konata their doujinshi. No wonder she stood out in the FacelessMasses.
** [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lucky_Star_cosplay.jpg A scene where Tsukasa walks outside among cosplayers]]:
*** I only recognize [[KeroroGunsou Sgt. Keroro]] and [[HaruhiSuzumiya Haruhi and Mikuru]] cosplayers. Don't know the others.
*** Apparently, the others are [[OnePiece Nico Robin]], [[FullmetalAlchemist Alphonse Elric]], and a maid who may or may not be [[HaruhiSuzumiya Sonou Mori]].
** Soujirou appears briefly, implying he went to Comiket as well.
** The scene after Akira's poster is knocked over has MinoriChihara selling Haruhi merchandise.
** Behind Minori Chihara and the arguing customer in that scene is a ''{{Kanon}}'' poster.
** Is that a terrible [[{{Vocaloid}} Miku Hatsune]] mannequin I see?
*** It's probably Lamica Hoshii, who has herself appeared in episode 10.
** When Meito Anisawa and Clerk Sugita chastise one customer for arriving late, behind Clerk Sugita is a poster of Rena Ryuuguu from ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi''.
** The poster on the wall where Clerk Sugita is punched into by Meito Anisawa is a ''{{Shuffle}}'' poster, but only Lisianthus is visible due to the dust. (I tried pausing it to see the others, but no cigar)
*** Confirmed a few scenes later, because Asa Shigure is clearly visible on the poster.
** Finally, we have the ActorAllusion laden duel between [[TomokazuSeki Tomokazu "Sousuke" Seki]] and [[TomokazuSugita Tomokazu "Kyon" Sugita]]. Both try to sell their own characters' merchandise while failing.
** A ''KeroroGunsou'' poster is on the wall where President Takahashi punches both Anime Tenchou and Sugita. Yes, the actual president of Animate.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Episode 13]]

** [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/329690/-_-asakura_nemu-cap-choker-comparison-da_capo-high Relevant]]. (As it's Danbooru, ads are NSFW)
* [[SuzumiyaHaruhi "So, is it interesting?" "Unique."]]
** As Konata says that, there's a figure of Haruhi in her bunny girl outfit on her bookshelf. Later on, we see a poster of the Haruhi girls [[http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/jmiao/Anime/Haruhi-Bunny.jpg in bunny girl outfits.]]
* The four attend the ''SuzumiyaHaruhi no Gekisou'' concert.
* Soujirou does the henshin sequence from ''{{Kamen Rider Super-1}}''
* Near the end of the episode, Die Lorelei is playing when Yutaka enters Konata's room. Since it's Konata, she was probably playing FateStayNight.
* 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.
[[/folder]]

* Konata's new handphone, unsurprisingly, has a Haruhi wallpaper. Her ringtone is also Koi no Mikuru Densetsu, which Minoru tried to sing in the credits in the last episode.

* Anime Tenchou tries to sell Konata the Season 1 Image Songs for Haruhi, only for her to walk out because Kagami wants to meet her.
* While Akira sings Misoji Misaki, Minoru wonders for a moment whether he should sing Kentai Life Returns, one of Kyon's image songs. In the credits, Akira's seiyuu sings Misoji Misaki in real life.

* Hiyori takes a picture of two people cosplaying as [[FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric and Roy Mustang]].
* Hiyori puts Suzaku as her name when they went to bowl, and odds are it's [[CodeGeass Kururugi]] they're referring to here. Also, the adjacent bowler's lane has the names of the [[SuzumiyaHaruhi SOS Brigade]] members on the scoreboard.
* Hiyori parodies the nullification of [[HaruhiSuzumiya Ryoko's]] Data Link.

* When Konata briefly mentions the "[[RecordOfLodossWar Lodoss]] Tabletalk Game", she's talking about DungeonsAndDragons, specifically the campaign replays published in Japan that would eventually become the basis for the anime of that name.
