How is Chandler's reference to Hymn 253: "His Eyes are on the Sparrow" funny? Ross and Rachel just broke up. Rachel invites guys to a free event she has tickets to. They reject the invitation, because Ross had them reserved for that same night earlier. Rachel says that it's not a big deal and leaves. Everyone is upset especially Chandler. He lights up a cigarette even though he wasn't smoking for a year already. Someone knocks on a door and Chandler says: Chandler: That's great. With my luck, that's him. Phoebe: Him? Ross? Chandler: No, Hymn 253: "His Eyes are on the Sparrow." What is that with this hymn?
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.
ReplyDeleteWhen 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!!))))
