Haha yeah, that Initial D parody was much better than School Rumble's version of it. What topped it off was Konata's impression of Natsumi Mogi at the end of it, and then seeing the teacher's expression. LOL X 100

What was the Tsubaka/seashell scene referencing?

The dialog is a reference to the comedian Hiroshi (ヒロシ) whose gag was recounting pitiful events in his life followed by repeating the line, "I am Hiroshi." (ヒロシです) while music plays in the background.

As for the visuals, I'm assuming it's a spoof on KyoAni's typical animation techniques used in contrast with the dialog for absurd effect. Although KyoAni isn't the only company to animate a scene like that...

The end gag was for those people (like me) who didn't get the "Tsukasa desu" part of it a laugh. Heh, sometimes simpler is better.

It's an analog rotary phone. Disregarding the fact that they live at a shinto shrine they also do not live in a metropolitan area so it is not out of line at all for them to still have an old rotary phone.

All the old folks can come out of the wordwork and laugh with me if you remember party line service here in the USA.

It's funny to me because I have noticed several USA fans not realize that in Japan Azumanga Daioh WAS for otaku. It was marketed as such and published as such. Dengeki Daioh is a seinen publication but it is also otaku material.

That Initial D gag had me running around looking for Euro Trance on my old music cds...

Haha, Konota's mature voice is so sexy. The way they went around adding lips and eyelashes gave it a lot of giggle factor.
