I've never actually seen this show and really don't know what it's about but I found this clip on YouTube while browsing the other day and thought it was pretty amusing.

There are so many awful "Ringo was a bad drummer" jokes in popular culture, they're almost uncountable. Often posed as a counterfactual "imagine a reality where Ringo was a good drummer" etc etc. Off the top of my head, outside of Beatles style parodies, that's the reference that I remember most, and it's mostly a UK thing I think.
The weirdest one is this

Listen to the voice characterizations and the "hair", they can't seem to be able to decide whether they're scouse or cockney. The video cuts off before the song, which is a whole different weird. So let's continue here:
It's weird

Back in the mid-80s, Marillion released three albums known as the "Jester" trilogy.
The final album in the trilogy, Clutching at Straws (1987), included scenes from a Colchester pub which featured some of the band's heroes. Time ran out to finish the cover properly, and there were meant to be more people included.
However, you can see ranged along the bar on the front cover...
Robert Burns, Dylan Thomas, Truman Capote and Lenny Bruce.
And then on the back cover, in the back room of the pub with the pool table...
James Dean and Jack Kerouac can be seen at the table, while John (based on Mike McCartney's photo of him and Paul with Gen Vincent at The Cavern) looks over his shoulder in the bottom left-hand corner.

Did they use a green screen for that or did The Red Hot Chili Peppers actually cross Abbey Road with nothing covering them except for a sock covering their "chili peppers" and bollocks.
Maybe you should try posting more.

There's a lot of Beatles references in pop culture.
The first one that comes to mind is the Rutles film which is a parody of the Beatles story.
A couple of episodes of The Simpsons as well such as the Be-sharps episode which is another parody of the Beatles story and has a guest appearance by George Harrison , and the episode where Lisa becomes a vegetarian which has an appearance by Paul and Linda, and the episode where Marge paints Mr Burns in the nude and they make reference to Marge painting Ringo Starr and he also makes an appearance. There is another episode where a heatwave hits Springfield and they show melted was models of the Beatles performing on the Ed Sullivan show. There is also another episode where Homer meets his mother and the end credit song is a parody of Tomorrow Never Knows and at the end of the song Homer says "I buried Flanders" and there's an episode where Bart and Milhouse break into Flanders house and discover his Beatles collection and when he is questioned about his love of the Beatles he said that they were bigger than Jesus. I'm not sure if the referenced the Beatles any other times but those ones come to mind.
Also the Frank Zappa album Were Only in it for the Money is a parody of the Sgt Pepper cover.
Of course James Bond references them in a non positive way in Goldfinger.
I know there's plenty of others but that is all I can think of right now. I will add some more if I think of them but that's a start.
And in the end the lunch you take is equal to the lunch you bake.

Billy Wilder's 1964 comedy "Kiss Me Stupid" has Dean Martin playing essential himself, answering a young woman who accuses him of being too old and square to have heard of the Beatles with "of course I've heard of them, and I can sing better than all three of them!" He further explains that the fourth one was electrocuted when he got his long hair caught in his electric guitar. Pretty standard stuff for 1964 middle-aged anti-Beatles funnypeople, but I commend Wilder for at least being aware of them. (Also for being one the great writer/directors in Hollywood history)
One day, a tape-op got a tape on backwards, he went to play it, and it was all "Neeeradno-undowarrroom" and it was "Wow! Sounds Indian!"

Haha yeah, 1965 American TV sitcom writers definitely considered our boys' mere EXISTENCE a surefire source of comedy! Dig the parody bands on "The Flintstones" (The Four Insects) and "Gilligan's Island" (The Mosquitoes), to name two.

Not a particularly distinguished reference, but this one came to mind: in the Avengers film that came out earlier this year (which I had to watch multiple times since I work in a cinema) when one of the characters tells another that the titular superhero group has broken up, he gets the reply "You broke up?! Like a band? Like The Beatles?!".
¡No pasarán!
