I am so spoiled!

Girls are having a couple of "cute doctors" over. There are that uncomfortable situation where Rachel have to pretend to be Monica and vice versa. And here they start pick on each other. Guys are trying to go into the food dicussion instead:


- This hummus is great. God bless the chickpea.
Monica out of the blue:
- Oh, God! I am so spoiled!.. That's it.

Was there anything meant by that? Did I miss something in this "chickpea" phrase? Or it is just a phrase she could use with any possible remark?

    actually it doesn't have to do anything with the hummus or the chickpea.

    See in this episode Monica and Rachel are exchanging roles so that Rachel could fix her foot using Monica's insurance, so when the doctors come for the date they continue the role playing but seconds before this sentence they have a small argument in the kitchen about telling the doctors the truth where at the end Rachel insults Monica and then in front of the doctors they continue insulting each other but they do it in first tense. So when Monica says I'm so spoiled she means I (Rachel) am so spoiled :)

    Yeah, it's a complete non sequitur.

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
