!!! Shout-outs ''to'' the film in other works:
* In homage to this movie, VideoGame/SpaceInvaders were [[FanNickname nicknamed]] "Green Meanies".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}: Bender's Game'' features a parody of the movie with the Planet Express ship getting more "submarine-shaped".
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' also parodies this movie (a dream sequence Lisa has under laughing gas). The same erpisode has a shot of part of Mr. Burns' mansion -- a ridiculously long corridor studded with doors on both sides.
* The ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "What Is Reality?" features a hallway of {{Scooby Dooby Doors}} like this film -- in which one door opened by John precipitates a train roaring outward; likewise, when Batman opens a door labeled "Crazy Intent", a ''loco-motive'' roars out.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Meet the Beat-Alls" has two brief appearances by the Fab Four themselves: one with the character designs from this film, the other with the designs from [[WesternAnimation/TheBeatles their 1965 series]]. Sergeant Pepper from the Townsville police is based on Old Fred.
* The ''WesternAnimation/SuperJail'' episode "Don't Be A Negaton" features a shared hallucination that begins with visuals similar to the ones in the film (referenced with the Twins riding a Submarine-like thing) and then becomes something MUCH worse.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episodes featuring "Mad Mod", especially the second of the two, "Revolution", employ visuals that are a large-scale homage to this film.
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'':
** In ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S01E11MoonZeroTwo Moon Zero Two]]'', the villains are compared to the Blue Meanies.
** The film (or at least the song) is also referenced in ''[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E09Gorgo Gorgo]]''.
* The ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' episode "The Dream Machine" has DM and Penfold inside Baron Greenback's dream cloud which has a series of doors with strange things emerging from them.
* [[ProfessionalWrestling Pro Wrestler]] Wrestling/TheBlueMeanie, who is billed from [[PartsUnknown "Pepperland"]].
* The end credits sequence from ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' is an homage to the film.
* Parodied in ''[[Music/TheRutles The Rutles: All You Need is Cash]]'' (with a clip from "Yellow Submarine Sandwich").
* In the first episode of the ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' "Imaginationland" trilogy, when the boys first go to Imaginationland, one of the imaginary creatures to greet them is a Blue Meanie.

''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' has many {{Shout Out}}s within the film, and there are many references to it in other works.
!!! Within the film:
* Ringo and Fred pass through a room containing various pop-culture heroes, including [[Series/TheAvengers John Steed]] and ComicStrip/ThePhantom.
----> '''Fred:''' Can't we take one of these?\\
'''Ringo:''' No, Fred, I only work with me mates.
* The Sea of Monsters segment includes a [[AffectionateParody parody]] of the then-current Hamlet cigar TV commercials (hence the incorporation of "Air on a G String" into the music at that point).
* The line "It's a pair of kinky-boot beasts!" is a reference to the 1963 song [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q-e_T4WRcs "Kinky Boots"]], recorded by [[Series/TheAvengers Patrick Macnee and Honor Blackman]].
* In the Sea of Monsters, Old Fred presses a button, causing [[NoodleImplements a load of miscellaneae]] to emerge from the sub. One of them is a banner that reads "[[Music/TheRollingStones The Rolling Sto-]]" before zipping back in.
* The second-in-command of the Blue Meanies is named [[TheBlueMax Max]].
* Several [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] songs that weren't used directly in the film get referenced:
---> '''Fred:''' Won't you please, please help me? ("Help!")
---> '''Jeremy:''' Enough to fill the Albert Hall. (As part of a string of references on "A Day in the Life", one being that The Sea of Holes reminded John of Blackburn, Lancashire, to which Paul replies sing-songedly, "Oh, boy!")
---> '''Paul:''' Getting better all the time. ("Getting Better", [[CaptainObvious obviously]])
---> '''Pepperland John:''' I'm the alter ego, man.\\
'''John:''' And I'm the ego man, goo goo g'joob. ("I Am the Walrus")
* Then later, in the live action part:
---> '''George:''' What can [Jeremy] do with half a hole?\\
'''Paul:''' I'll fix it to keep his mind from wondering! ("Fixing a Hole")
* A couple of bars of "With A Little Help From My Friends" get played.
* The frightening orchestra crescendo from "A Day in the Life" gets used for the start of the submarine's journey home.
* In the opening sequence, when George is introduced, the opening of "Love You To" plays.
* When the Beatles arrive in Pepperland, in order to "un-bonk" the Lord Mayor the four loop part of the lyric of "Think For Yourself".
* When Ringo uses the hole in his pocket to break open the glass bowl imprisoning Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the opening bars of "Baby, You're A Rich Man" play.
* George's catchphrase "It's all in the mind you know" is from ''Radio/TheGoonShow'' (a suitable reference, as the Beatles really were fans of the Goons).
* [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Apple Bonkers]]' WeaponOfChoice look like the logo of a certain record company.
!!! Shout-outs ''to'' the film in other works:
* In homage to this movie, SpaceInvaders were [[FanNickname nicknamed]] "Green Meanies".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}: Bender's Game'' features a parody of the movie with the Planet Express ship getting more "submarine-shaped".
