One episode details Homer’s time in “The Be Sharps,” a barbershop quartet whose arc plays out an awful lot like the real-life Beatles. When Bart asks Homer if they ever screwed up like the Beatles and claimed they were “bigger than Jesus,” Homer replies, “all the time! It was the title of our second album,” and pulls out the LP. The title pokes fun at a real-life John Lennon comment that the Beatles were “more popular than Jesus” in an interview in 1966.
