I think the gag started before the director was fired...

The gag doesn't even deserve as much attention as it gets.

I bet it's just what some KyoAni staff member overheard during his commute to work from a bunch of schoolgirls standing around.

Hahaha probably. It's just used to fill in a transition so it can't have much of a background to it anyway.

I have heard it put that Lucky Star is a sort of anime version of Seinfeld--with anime and gaming shoutouts liberally scattered.....

Kind of...it has still the (albeit satrical) archetypes that most school-slice-of-life anime have so it remains grounded as a comedic anime, rather far from Seinfeld-styled sitcoms.
