Ross & Chandler: We'll be starting with apples. Stop that now.


Joey bets he and Chandler can name each item in a Rachel's bag. Ross takes a role of a judge and comments in a some showman's manner:

 Ross:
- Challenge accepted.
Joey:
- All right, we'll start with... apples.
Ross:
- We'll be starting with apples.
Chandler:
- Stop that now.

What is this voice? He is clearly moking some famous TV-show persona. Is that a specific one? Or at that time all the games that had this anticipation element would require the kind of voice, Ross was using?

    I think it was 'all the game shows of that time,' personally. They all had that kinda emphasis and "OOOH THIS IS SO EXCITING" feel. I think it was just an unnecessary affectation for Ross to use, considering the only people around were his ordinary friends. It felt a little awkward, you know? And the only thing Chandler hates more than his own constant awkwardness is when OTHER people are awkward.

      OH and, he'd been repeating everything in the same voice.
      "Challenge… EXTENDED…"
      "Challenge… ACCEPTED…"
      "We'll be starting… with APPLES…"

      Kinda slowing stuff down, right? XD

      I like what you said about that there is no need for that unnecessarily 'exciting voice' Ross borrows from the challenge type tv shows. Indeed even if it was for the sake of underlining the similarity of the bag contents guess to those shows, Ross overdid it with '...we'll be starting with APPLES..' either way)

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?
