Snoopy falls? Funny.


Phoebe announces that she is meeting her "newly discovered" husband Duncan at the Capades. Joey is excited:

- The Ice Capades?
Chandler comments:
- No, the Gravel Capades. The turns aren't as fast, but when Snoopy falls? Funny.

 Why Snoopy? Why is Chandler referring to that character from cartoons and comics?  I just don't get it.

    Snoopy is a wonderful ice skater. The Charlie Brown Christmas special first aired in 1966. It has run on US TV in December every year that I can remember. Snoopy is the first ice skater that Chandler thinks of. He's making fun of Joey, as well. "Ice Capades" is a form of musical theater where the performers do the whole show on an ice rink. I can't think of another use of the word "capades" outside of that phrase. The image of Snoopy trying to skate on gravel is also very silly.

s03e17 Chandler: No, Hymn 253: "His Eyes are on the Sparrow."

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?
