Behind the scenes

  • With the Beatles.png
  • Abbey Road.png
  • Red Album.png
  • A Hard Day's Night.png
  • This episode is a full-on love fest to the 1960s British rock band, the Beatles. So, here we go:
    • The name Him originally suggests is the Silver Beat Alls, as the Beatles were originally known as the Silver Beatles.
    • With the Beatles, the second studio album, is referenced when the right side of the Beat Alls faces disappear and the screen fades to black and white. When Mojo discovers that the Beat Alls have broken up via the Townsville Tribune, a photo of the Beatles from that album is used instead of a photo of the Beat Alls.
    • The Beat Alls walk along a zebra crossing which is a nod to the Beatles' eleventh studio album, Abbey Road.
    • The Beat Alls hang over a stairwell referencing the front cover of the Beatles' compilation album 1962-1966.
    • The wanted poster mimics the Beatles' third studio album, A Hard Day's Night.
    • The Beat Alls nickname is the Bad Four, just as the Beatles were also known as the Fab Four.
    • Sergeant Pepper is a reference to the Beatles' eighth studio album, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band.
    • The name Stuart Best is a combination of past Beatles' Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best.
    • The Beat Alls crash a benefit held by Mr. Kite, which is a reference to a Beatles song called "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!"
    • Moko Jono is a parody of Yoko Ono, who is seen as the girl who broke up the Beatles when she started dating John Lennon and changing things the other members didn't like.
    • When the girls find the Beat Alls on the roof, Him declares, "I'd just like to say thank you on behalf of the group and hope we passed the audition," which is a paraphrase of what Lennon said ("I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves") at the end of the band's rooftop concert on January 30, 1969.
    • Stuart Best is a parody of the reporter from the 1978 satirical film The Rutles: All You Need is Cash.
    • Blossom calls for Judy by saying, "Hey, Jude," which is another song by the Beatles.
  • When Mojo tells the others to imagine all the people and how annoyed they'll get at them causing a traffic jam is taken from Lennon's 1971 song "Imagine," wherein he says, "Imagine all the people."
  • Moko's real name "Michelle" was the name of a Beatles song.
  • The real Ringo Starr sang in a music video for the 2014 special Dance Pantsed, to promote his guest appearance as Fibonacci Sequins.
