Episode 8:

1) A quick info provided by aorta:

Spoiler:

The controller used in Episode 8 is called a Hyper Shot.

The game is Hyper Olympic.

Spoiler:

-Teacher "It's a mistake, blamed on youthfulness" Konata "So you're a kid"
These are reference to the famous (and again, over-used) lines from Char Aznable of Mobile Suit Gundam.

-The video game they are playing is Hyper Olympic from Konami.
And yeah, the metal ruler method seemed to be the fastest way of getting fast record.

Used to beat the crap out of that special controller...

-Konata says "Girls have to be elegant", which is a line by Lumiere in Kiddy Grade, who happens to have the same voice

actress as Konata, Aya Hirano.

-At the hardles, Tsukasa says "Ajapa-" as she fall to the ground. It's a famous joke by Zaburou Banjun, a famous comedian
during and after WWII. He passed away in the early 80s.

-The BGM playing during the relay race is from Initial D.

-When Tsukasa was imagining her and her sister's role reversed, the background effect is the same as that of Gundam's
Amuro and Lala's contact scene. It even does the newtype flash effect at the end.

-Konata mentions that her letter sent to Newtype was published on the new issue.
This really happened. If you check the June issue of Newtype, her letter really is there.

-Accourding to fans, the book Konata has in her right hand is .hack//XXXX, a spin-off manga of .hack series and right is Suzumiya Haruhi no Koushiki official fanbook. Otaku fans have keen eyes...

-When Konata finds the Shuffle! volume 5, it plays the newtype awakening sound from Gundam, as well as the effects.
I guess all these Gundam in-jokes suddenly popping out all over this episode is because of Konata's Newtype letter event.

-The book shelf at the store has tons of galgame/eroge related books... most are vague, but you can spot stuff like To Heart,

DaCapo, and Higurashi. For some reason, adult porn manga artist Cuvie's manga was there too.

-Ending song is, Monkey Magic by Godiego, the theme song for the Saiyuuki live action TV series in the late 70s. This series
aired in some english speaking countries as Monkey. Awesome, awesome show. There hasn't been ANY TV series, live or

cartoon, based on Saiyuuki that comes even close to this show, even to this day.

Spoiler:

Konata's dad appears to be using a Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM for the lenses, while one of the camera bodies that he's using is a Nikon D200. Not really sure if the camera that's paired with the Canon lenses is a Canon or another Nikon D200, but it sure looks like the Nikon D200 from the left-side body.
