You see Tattoo, Ms Jude's fantasy is...

Chandler is planning of meeting up with a hot girl who has mistaken him with some Bob over the phone. Chandler used the situation and and invited her out as a Bob. Ross is doubting that Chandler would manage pretending to be that Bob-guy, once he is present in the girls face. Ross:

- You do a good Bob impression... but when she sees you tomorrow... she's gonna realize you're not Bob.
Chandler poses and says in a wired voice:
- Ooh, you see Tattoo, Ms Jude's fantasy is to rekindle the love she once had with Bob.

What is with the voice? Who is Tattoo? And why Ross is called this way?

  1. Ok, according to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0583519/trivia?tab=mc Chandler does a Ricardo Montalban impression, referring to Ross as "Tattoo". Tattoo was played by Hervé Villechaize in the Fantasy Island (1977) TV Series.

    When I watched this video piece of a Fantasy Island (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3w9AfC5Ms0) it is got clear why Ross kneels according to script before Chandler does his line about Tattoo and "fantasy"(Tattoo is a midget).

    And it also sends you to the first frames of the episode where Ross and Chandler are watching midget's fight on TV. It all came together!!))))

Joey: Holden McGroin

Who is Holden McGroin? Joey looks for a new stage name. Over the episode he tries many of them on. By the end he appears on a stage and introduces himself with a name that gets lots of laughter from the audience. Joey: Holden McGroin. Who is Holden McGroin? And why is Joey taking that name is funny? At first I thought Holden McGroin is some all America-famous guy. But I googled and googled and nothing. But than I realized Holden McGroin is a play of sounds. If you say really quickly 'Holden McGroin' native speaker would hear not a name but three words 'holding my growing'. It is your first step in understanding the joke. The next step is that you got to know that 'growing' in slang means 'testicles'. The rest is pretty about putting two parts together. A man holding on to one's testicles in public is considered weird and therefore funny. I love this joke, not just because most of the traffic to this blog comes through googling 'Holden McGroin

Chandler: You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance!

What does the phrase 'stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance' mean? Chandler needs new pants made and asks friends for a contact of a good tailor. Joey raises a hand - yep, he has a tailor. Chandler feels all set. But Joey starts to share way too much of boring detail. Joey : He did my first suit when I was 15... No, wait, 16... No, excuse me, 15... All right, when was 1990? Chandler :  You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance! What is Q-Tip? What is the whole "You have to stop the Q-Tip when there's resistance" expression is referring to?  Apparently the joke was among few that Matthew Perry, the actor who played Chandler has improvised on the set. Also that is the joke some websites say that Matthew is the most proud of. So let's try and get it! Q-Tip is a cotton swabs brand name. You know the ones you use to clean your ears after a bath. Q here stands of "Quality". Americans say "Q-tip" but often mean not a particular

All you want is a dinkle

What is a dinkle? Joey plays Dr.Freud. Suddenly he rises and does a little dance and sing: Joey: All you want is a dinkle What you envy's a schwang A thing through which you can tinkle To play with or simply let hang Why is this dinkle-song funny?  Joey is playing Freud in this show.  Sigmund Freud was a founder of psychoanalysis.  Freud is also quite famous for inventing the theory of penis envy. The idea that some women's problems take root in their deep dark desire for a penis of their own. Now this theory isn't all that popular. But it could be a fun referral, yes. Dingle and schwang in the song is a slang for penis. Tinkle is a cute children's word for peeing. It is either that or Joey's imitation of German accent what turns Dingle into Dinkle. An old penis-envy theory, slang and a sort of cute switch of Dingle to Dinkle are what make the song eventually funny.  If you are curious for another pretty awesome theory on how musical  Love, Torment & Lolli
