* CrossesTheLineTwice: ''All You Need Is Cash'' making a reference to The Beatles
manager Brian Epstein's premature death (and the rumours that it was a suicide) would've probably been tasteless if not for how it's portrayed: Leggy Mountbatten (the Epstein analogue), plagued by business failures and lonely, goes home and tragically... ''accepts a teaching job in Australia.''

* HilariousInHindsight: When Music/JohnLennon watched the movie, he told them that the songs they did ("Get Up and Go" in particular) were too close to the real thing and that Music/PaulMcCartney might sue them. While Paul was fine with the whole project, ATV Music (who owned the rights to the Beatles' music) objected and sued, resulting in half the royalties for all the material going into the Lennon-[=McCartney=] bankbook.

** The film parodies the BiggerThanJesus incident through Ron Nasty supposedly claiming that they were "Bigger Than God" (only for it to turn out that he actually said "Bigger Than [[Music/RodStewart Rod]]"). Almost two decades later, [[Music/{{Oasis}} Noel Gallagher]] would make the exact same claim.
