Not very on-brand for Ringo and George to be making obscene gestures. Did anyone in Britain even know what the American middle finger was in 1969?

Whoever is giving the middle finger looks like Tommy Robinson in a wig. That film will be absolutely shite, and they all look ridiculous.

Wasn't there something about Paul subtly giving the middle finger in interviews or something? I don't think I imagined that..

They should do a Beatles biopic with Peter Serafinowicz playing all of them. He was great in the Ringo Remembers sketches, although it was about 20 years ago.

If the Ringo one has a section on Thomas the tank engine I could possibly get behind it.

The Frog Chrous part of the Paul biopic would be fun as well.

Man the video tape of that he had got rinsed so hard when we were kids. Frog chorus was great. Seaside woman was as ok, but then Oriental Nightfish was the real deep cut that grew on me over time.

45 minutes on Thomas the Tank, 45 minutes on this. That's the Ringo one sorted.

Add Kevin Eldon as George Martin and that could be decent.

Paul Rudd is the only John Lennon I formally recognise.

I must go back and rewatch this every few weeks. Might actually be my favourite video on the internet. 

Saw a comment on this one that “Ringo interrupted his own sentence” that cracked me up as well. 
 

Fascinating man.

Not that you need any kind of reason to re-read the Quincy Jones interview with Vulture, but here’s the bit about Ringo (and co):

What were your first impressions of the Beatles?

That they were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing motherfuckers. Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard. And Ringo? Don’t even talk about it. I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, and Ringo had taken three hours for a four-bar thing he was trying to fix on a song. He couldn’t get it. We said, “Mate, why don’t you get some lager and lime, some shepherd’s pie, and take an hour-and-a-half and relax a little bit.” So he did, and we called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, “George, can you play it back for me one more time?” So George did, and Ringo says, “That didn’t sound so bad.” And I said, “Yeah, motherfucker because it ain’t you.” Great guy, though.
