Line 29:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ringo, possibly. John strangely doesn't play one himself, in spite of being reputed for being one later in life. Though one could make an argument for the scene in which John plays with the toy boat in the bathtub.
* [[Day in the Life]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: All four Beatles were masters of the craft. An exmpleexample of a detail taken from real life, as the boys really would give sarcastic answers to reporters as they do in the film.
** Particular mention should go to George's completely straight-faced answer to "What do you call that haircut?" "Arthur."
** After John manages to coax a sour "'ello" out of Paul's grandfather:
Line 110:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Ringo is invited to the Le Cercle casino, which was where we first meet James Bond at the beginning of ''[[Dr. No]]''. And the girl with Paul's Grandfather is played by Margaret Nolan, who played Dink in ''[[Goldfinger]]''.
* [[Squee]]: The mob of fangirls did a lot of this, to humorous effect.
* [[Straw Fan]]: itIt opens with the Fab Four pursued by the aforementioned mob of fans. The extras playing the fans, being actual Beatles fans (which was inevitable if you hired three hundred teenagers in London in 1964), were so good that the filmmakers could do only one take of the relevant scenes -- and about half the "takes" were more like "let the fans see the Beatles, and then just keep the cameras rolling".
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: John, Paul and George sing part of "A Hard Day's Night" at one point.
* [[Truth in Television]]: A number of gags in the film, such as Ringo getting the most fanmail, are real tidbits from the band's lives. George Harrison's [[Mistaken for An Imposter]] bit was likely a reference to him entering a Beatles lookalike contest under a fake name and ''not winning''.
