What Beatles references if any have been on the show? Paul

I can't find any. Interesting. Not even in the list of songs created on this newsgroup do I see a Beatles song.

Thanks for taking the time to post that definitive answer. Clears it all up.

I'm not sure about this but I have a feeling Elaine's communist boyfriend might have made a reference or two to Lennon. :)

That would be Lenin the Soviet leader, not Lennon of the Beatles :) Aaron

And that would be why there was a :) at the end of my original post. Like so. :)

So it was a joke? Ok, I guess you should have made it more clear, or am I the only one who didn't get it?? :) Aaron

The UK sense of humour is commonly considered to be more subtle than that in the US. (At least by people in the UK. :))

Brian

I can understand that; however, subtlety is not easily expressed when you're typing. :) Aaron

Generally, even Americans get my jokes. If I made them sledgehammer obvious, I wouldn't think they were funny, and I wouldn't make them. The truth is I would have to be shit thick to think that a Communist discussing Lenin and the rights of workers is talking about John Lennon of the Beatles. You, confused, had the choice to decide I *was* that stupid or to look for another meaning - heavily sign-posted by the smiley face. Most people I know would have looked for the other meaning and found it pretty quickly. You seem insistent the joke was at fault because you didn't get it. But my take is that it went over your head and the fault is yours.

No big deal and we can put it down to cultural differences if you like, but the bottom line is I won't be changing my writing style because it's meaning proves elusive to some.

And please note that after this much deliberation over the matter I wouldn't expect *anybody* to think the joke was funny. :)

Brian

Sorry, my latest post was really a joke also. I guess the real problem was that I misinterpreted your smiley as a sign of a friendly response rather than what it was, the sign of a joke. Not so much a cultural difference. *Maybe* I just wanted to show *my* intelligence in knowing that you had made a mistake, even though it was off-base. No hard feelings.

I didn't mean it in a derog. way (well maybe just a bit :)) but I do think the senses of humour are a little different. But anyway as you said, no hard feelings.

I'm glad to say we (we, you, whatever) stuck to the original 'beatles mentioned on seinfeld' subject. Well I forgive you.:) (that was a joke too, ya know. See the :) thing?) Well never mind. Sometimes it's fun going to other unintended subjects (once someone started a thread on a massacre somewhere in Chicago I think, and became about religion and atheism [sp?])

Adios muchachos!

- related to the beatles discussion because they probably got a sore throat at some stage after all that singing ;-)

I can't think of any (maybe that's why I like Senfeld so much).

This is a HUGE stretch, but the cast of Seinfeld appeared on the cover of Entertainment Weekly in 1993 in a take-off (spoof? homage?) to one of the early Beatle albums (Black and white photos of the four faces, side-lit, Jerry, Jason and Julia across the top, Michael below Julia.) The Headline of the EW issue was " Seinfeld's Fab Four."
