History YMMV / AHardDaysNight

* TheWoobie: Ringo.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The Beatles taunt an old man on then train, walk away, then suddenly, they're outside, messing with him again, before they get back on, carrying Ringo for some reason.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: There are repeated jokes about murdering John Lennon....''awkward''.

** Ringo having the most fan mail is pretty sad in light of how in 2008, Ringo announced he would no longer accept anymore fan mail.

* NarmCharm: The Beatles never did any acting before, and there are times that they seem to hit their cues extremely prematurely, like George getting out a pen before being asked to sign an autograph, and Ringo getting "hit" by the tire, even though it misses him by several inches.

** Ringo [[TenMinuteRetirement (briefly)]] deserting the group became winceworthy when Ringo actually had quit out of frustration during the recording of ''Music/TheWhiteAlbum'' in 1968, [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming before being welcomed back by the other with flowers and card saying "Welcome home"]].

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[CaptainObvious It's a freakin' Beatles movie!]]

* HarsherInHindsight: John's casual torment of Norm, the band's fictional manager [[note]]Lennon was a well documented [[{{jerkass}} a**hole]] to actual Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Norm's treatment in the film is actually a much LighterAndSofter version of what Lennon was capable of with any of his usual victims[[/note]].

* EveryoneIsJesusInPergatory: Director Richard Lester would become increasingly annoyed in later years with film history classes he was asked to speak in who cite many of the shots and techniques in the film which were completely accidental as well-orchestrated cinematography worth of an art house picture. When told that these techniques would make him "the father of MTV," he sarcastically replied "I'd like to see a DNA test."

* HarsherInHindsight: John's casual torment of Norm, the band's fictional manager.

* HoYay: John providing most of it by doing such things as singing love songs to Ringo, blinking frivolously at men on trains, and just briefly passing an [[CampGay effeminate, well-dressed man]] in a hallway and admiring his attire.

* NarmCharm: The Beatles never did any acting before, and there are times that they seem to hit their cues extremely prematurely, like George getting out a pen before being asked to sign an autograph.

* NarmCharm: The Beatles never did any acting before, and there are times that they seem to hit their cues well in advance, like George getting out a pen before being asked to sign an autograph.

* {{Flanderization}}: All the Beatles play Flanderized versions of their real-life personalities.

** Ringo's overprotectiveness of his drums. Gee, maybe he was afraid somebody would secretly overdub his tracks.

* HilariousInHindsight: John playing with [[YellowSubmarine a submarine]] in the bathtub and the presence of [[SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand performers dressed as a military band]] in the TV studio.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: "I now declare this bridge... open!" and many more.
** Also:
-->'''Reporter:''' What do you call your hairstyle?
-->'''George:''' Arthur.
** John's wordplay with a flustered Millie who thinks she recognizes him as who he is. When he's done confusing her, she's convinced he doesn't look anything like himself.
** Ringo's interview:
-->'''Reporter:''' Are you a mod or a rocker?
-->'''Ringo:''' [[TakeAThirdOption Uh, no, I'm a mocker.]]
** "Hey, mister, can we have our ball back!? Mister, c'mon, Mister! Can we have our ball back?"
** Paul's grandfather escaping during "She Loves You", then coming on stage via the elevator - only to be pulled offstage by George (and kicked in the rear by Paul for good measure!)

* HarsherInHindsight: [[YourMileageMayVary Depending on how much stock you put in Bob Spitz's biography]], John's casual torment of Norm, the band's fictional manager, can become this.
