Episode 2:

1) Written by Kaioshin_Sama:

Spoiler:

- During the arcade sequence Konata plays a Crane game with Keroro Gunsou characters as the prize.

- During the arcade sequence Konata plays the Haruhi ending theme Hare Hare Yukai on Taiko Drum Master

- During the arcade sequence the fighting game Konata is playing is similar to Tekken with Konata's character resembling Craig Marduk and her opponents character slightly resembling Ling Xiaoyu.

- During the sequence where Konata talks about the Dentist, she says Change Getter with a picture of a dentist in the background. Change Getter is a command that the Getter Robo pilots shout in order to shift the Getter Robo into different forms. The picture also seems to be meant to invoke an image of Shin-Getter 2

- Following the Shin Getter reference is a parody of the opening to Gunbuster by Gainax, with the Exelion in the background and the first few bars of the Gunbuster opening Active Heart playing in the background.

- In one scene there is a poster with a picture of Lisianthus from Shuffle! on it.

Spoiler:

Not sure about this one, but in Tsukasa's room, when they compare what the twins are doing during their break, there's a green plush toy with an orange hat...it looks a lot like the frog in "Negima?!".

Kagami's eating our beloved treat, Pocky. <3

Konata reads Comptiq magazine

When Konata talks about Drama CDs not having the same cast as the anime, Lucky Star's Drama CDs don't have the same casts (amongst other series with the same dilemma).

The karaoke (ending) song sung by Konata is the opening of Akumaizer 3, "Victory! Akumaizer 3".

Spoiler:

- The voice actors changing from Drama CD to Anime is also poking fun at this show itself.
The same thing happened to Lucky Star CDs and Anime.

- When the sisters are imagining Konata working as a part-timer at a fast food restaurant, you see "Smile 0-yen" on the menu.
This was a slogan that McDonalds of Japan used to run many years ago.

- When Shiraishi greets on the Lucky Channel, he almost mubles his line as Taniguchi from Suzumiya Haruhi, going "Wa-wa-wa" (continues to wasuremono)
This line got very popular among fans on the net, and has been used in numerous MADs.
The voice actor is aware of this, and that's why he used the joke.

Spoiler for ep 2 - Koi no Apron:

The Koi no Apron show which Kagami mentioned in ep 2 is apparently a real show on Japanese TV, though it only exists as two special shows for the Ai no Apron format of TV reality cooking contest, which mainly pits female celebrities/idols against each other individually or in groups with the task of completing a given menu and have the dish tasted by the judges. The novelty is that not all of the celebrities invited are apt cooks, especially the younger ones. Imagine them wrecking havoc in the kitchen and later have their "masterpiece" judged and getting punished for making poison, that's supposedly one of the selling point of the show.

The reference was at the most in name only, since Kagami was watching a drama serial and not a variety show.

Spoiler for ep 2 - man who balances a red wash basin on his head:

The entry in the japanese wiki is named 赤い洗面器の男 (romanized as "akai senmenki no otoko", meaning "red wash basin man"). Apparently, it is a running gag found in Mitani Koki's work, a famous Japanese playwright in Japan. Most of them appeared in Furuhata Ninzaburo, a popular detective drama serial from the 90's, where Tamura Masakazu (some J-dorama fans should be able to recognize him) plays the title character. The gag is such that a character will talk about the red wash basin man and ask the question "why does he balance the red wash basin on his head?", but the punchline is always never given.
