Some of the best moments in Lucky Star happen when they are referencing other anime, and the Initial D driving scene is one of the best. On their way to the beach, Kiyotaka Narumi channels her inner Takumi Fujiwara and races a car down a winding road with Tsukasa and Kagami in the back seat. The scene includes changes animation style that imitates the style scene in Initial D and even includes a Eurobeat song for the background music.

Kanata pays a visit to the Hiiragi and plops herself in front of the fan to make some funny noises with Tsukasa doing the same thing when she walks into the room. Despite Kagami calling the both of them childish, her father rats her out and reveals that Kagami had also done it before everyone arrived. This scene is a great example of the comedy you will find in Lucky Star. The simple premise of the joke allows the characters’ personalities to shine through and turn the scene into one of the most memorable in the series.

Chocolate cornets are the focus of several scenes throughout Lucky Star, but the best of the bunch comes in the very first episode. Konata asks Tsukasa and Miyuki which end of a cornet you eat first. Another brilliant example of Lucky Star turning such a simple premise into one of the funniest moments in the entire series. The best part of the scene is the fact that girls are having a serious conversation about something so ridiculous. The reason this scene is so memorable is that it introduced the running gag of the chocolate cornet and was one of the first scenes in the entire series to show off Lucky Star’s comedy.

Another of Lucky Star's great references, Miyuki, Tsukasa, and Kagami go to visit Konata at her new job. There they see Konata dressed up as Haruhi Suzumiya and watch as Konata and the other workers perform the Hare Hare Yukai dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The reference in this scene is made even better by the fact that Konata and Haruhi share the same voice in both the Japanese and English versions.

With many of Lucky Star's scenes center around Konata and Kagami, characters like Tsukasa only get a few scenes to really shine. Tsukasa's volleyball scene is the shortest scene on this list, but the scene perfectly shows off the type of character Tsukasa is as she tries to beat her sister in a game of volleyball to move up from being a side character. With Tsukasa going up to spike the volleyball against her sister, it looks as if she is going to have an epic moment, but she ultimately ends up missing the ball and slamming face first into the net. This scene is memorable for Tsukasa's face first slam into the net and the fact that it is one of Tsukasa's funniest moments in the entire series.
