It is impossible to name all the Beatles' referances in that show. You ultimatley win! But, did anyone nitice that at :28 in the video, the hammer on the table says 'Dr. Maxwell'?

Okay, I've got a referance. In an episode of Two And a Half Men, Berta's granddaughter comes to visit and her name is Prudence. When Charlie tells her that he is not in a band, she says "I dated a bands' bassist once. He wrote a song for me. It's called 'Dear Prudence."

In history today the teacher had us watch 'Shrek the Halls' don't ask why, I myself think we're just a tad too old for that. Anyway, when the choir in the show was singing Handel's Messiah, instead of singing 'Halleluah! Halleluah!' it sounded a heck of a lot like 'Paul is dead now! Paul is dead now!'.

That is too funny!

I didn't feel like putting it in 'Paul is Dead'. It is a clue, though.

They had a Beatles reference on Whose Line Is It Anyway, when Drew was introducing the performers in the beginning of the show... they even mentioned Anytime At All, yay

There`s a TV program here called Comedy Club. It`s like the US stand-up-comedy (?) or the British show with Russell Brand. It is very funny and very popular, the comedians are young guys, witty and breaking the accepted norms. So, they were showing two olygarhs during the current financial crisis speaking to each other, pointing out how rich they were before the crisis that they could afford to do this and that. Among other things one said: I used to be so rich that the very Paul McCartney sang to me! And the other, always having to say something to outdo his counterpart, said: And I used to be so rich that... that...John Lennon himself sang to me! Then they paid for their Big Mac and went off.

For me this is something! Some jazz and the Beatles music are played in Chaikovsky Concert Hall on the New Year eve! This is great: the Beatles melodies in the finest classical Concert Hall of the capital!

There`s a show here called The Club of the Funniest and the Wittiest - KVN - where teams of students from universities from different towns compete for the title of the Best. So one team made fun of pop-music, showing different "stars" in a very funny-silly way. They ended their episode, wishing such stars would vanish and showing a big poster which wrote: Give Peace A Chance, John Lennon, but, actually read: Give World A Chance. The fact is that the words Peace and World are pronounced in the same way in Russian: (MI:R) -

Season opener of Scrubs, when the new chief of medicine comes in JD pictures her walking in all sexy and there's an almost punk version of I Wanna Be Your Man playing

In this show, The Soup, the host guy, Joel McHale, was talking about how he thought that Al Roker, the weather guy from The Today Show here in the US, was high. Then, Joel said 'Lucy in the sky with donuts!" because Al Roker is kind of... on the larger side.

Apparently they show the Beatles on Ed Sullivan in Benjamin Button. Which I still haven't seen! Beatles' music seems to be showing up more and more in movies these days. Does this mean they're loosening the reigns? Uh oh.

Ha!
Wow KVN is still going! (shock) I remember watching it and not getting any of it!

Yeah, Kalie! KVN is still going but it has become more of a show. Then the best, who are non-professionals, enter Comedy Club and become popular comedians. The good side of it is that those are young guys whose humour is fresh and daring.
