There's a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode titled The Nanny from Hell in which Richard Lewis is trying to get official credit for the phrase "the _______ from Hell" (hear all about it in the Season 3 episode of XMAS YOUR ENTHUSIASM, The Nanny from Hell !!!!!!) and I'd like to introduce the practice of declaring something or someone to be "The Beatles of ________."
CRITERIA (for now)
- first class only; you've never seen The Beatles deign to let their stuff be sold in bins next to cash registersINITIAL HALL OF FAME CLASS:
- acknowledged by their peers to be the best in the field in a manner that would be best described as "whatever the opposite of begrudgingly is"
- earned a reputation for not only being the best but also outworking everybody else
- always the most charismatic, coolest thing/person in the room.
- if they're done, they went out on top
- somehow suddenly makes all who came before seem old/outdated
Michael Jordan is The Beatles of Athletes
McDonald's is The Beatles of Fast Food Restaurants
Seinfeld is The Beatles of Sitcoms
