As I have mentioned before, episode eleven of The Wish Fish Family had numerous references to The Beatles. I decided to post some of the references that I remember.

THE BEATLES REFERENCES IN THE WISH FISH FAMILY EPISODE #11

• When Bass bows after their performances.
• Brian Epstein, who discovered The Beatles, was also gay.
• The black and white crowd footage is from The Beatles first appearance in The Ed Sullivan Show.
• There is a framed photo of The Beatles in Bass’ dressing room.
• Junior dying and being replaced by a look alike is reference to the “The Real Paul McCartney is Dead” conspiracy. A Paul McCartney look alike competition really did take place in the sixties.
• Fahn is based on John Lennon. The name “Fahn” comes from “Fake John”, similar to Paul being called “Faul”, short for “Fake Paul”.
• Fahn mentions laying in bed for a week and eating chocolate cake out of a bag. This is reference to the song “The Ballad of John and Yoko”.
• Fahn claims to be leaving the band for Yoko Ono, which is what people blamed for The Beatles’ break up in 1970.
• Harold tells Fahn that he hopes he dies when he’s forty. John Lennon was assassinated when he was forty years old.
• “From the crapper-most to the tap her roast” references the John Lennon quote, “The toppermost of the poppermost!”
• The Paul McCartney song “When I’m Sixty-four” plays during the end credits.
• After the end credits Harold says “I buried Junior” backwards. This comes from “I buried Paul” backwards in the song “Strawberry Fields”.

Episode ten of The Wish Fish Family is now back in production for no reason other than I am extremely bored with everything. I am not enjoying getting back to animating again. But what else do I have to do with my time? Look for it to be released this May.
