Ross made out with Rachel last night. Later he came back home and saw a saline solution of his current girlfriend Julie on a table. That puts him off. He is lost and shares with the guys:
Ross: Here I am with Julie, this incredible, great woman who I care about and who cares about me and I'm just throwing all that away?
Joey: You got all that from saline solution?
Chandler: I'm the same way. Show me a bottle of wine. And I'm like, Wow, who am I?
Chandler here isn't saying "a bottle of wine". Subtitles are wrong. He is saying something like "a bottle of Vizine". It is most probably some kind of specific to USA product, maybe medical, we don't know about. So I am firstly curious how to spell it and what is this product? And secondly why audience laughs when Chandler refers to it?
Alternative subtitle sorce proved that it ain't "a bottle of wine", it is indeed "a bottle of Visine" Chandler is refering to.

Though I still don't get why is he joking that he reacts to a bottle of Visine "Wow, who am I?" I sence a good joke, I'd like to know!
it is a brand of eye-drops. so it has to do with the saline after all.
DeleteDo you think they just named that Vesine bottle for nothing? Bummer... I really hoped there was a reason!
DeleteEarly product placement?)
DeleteSometimes teenagers use Visine after smoking pot. It is said that Visine removes the redness of your eyes. I guess Chandler suggests after smoking pot, he gets high, trip over his existance and refers Ross's thoughts as similar to those times...
ReplyDeleteit's sarcasm.
Deletehe's joking that he too starts to think deeply about his life/what sort of person he is when he sees saline solution.
I feel like this is an insight for me. Never knew that teenagers use the Visine for that purpose in US! I would take it as a possible explnaition)
DeleteBlood guy up there is being silly...
ReplyDeleteNicole B is right. To explain further, Ross had just talked about how seeing Julie's saline solution reminded him of Julie and, subsequently, what he has with Julie.
After this tangent, Chandler is saying basically the same thing, but making it a broader statement. Visine is a brand of saline solution, eye drops, and similar.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, Triene! As my experience with this blog tells, cometimes there are much more obvious joke, than I assign it to be) Your explanaition seems to be the most plausible of all so far
DeleteHe's mocking Ross. Ross said he saw a bottle of Julie's saline solution and started thinking deeply about their relationship.
ReplyDeleteChandler's saying that when he, similarlym sees a bottle of Visine (eye drops, so related to saline solution), it also makes him think deeply about his life. But he's being sarcastic.
Thank you, Oat! This must be it
