I can't see why Ross and chandler are laughing in that situation. Woul you show me?
This question isn't only about English but also about the humor code of the unlined, heavy dialog in the script below.
I can't see why Ross and chandler are laughing in that situation.
Would you mind if I ask this kind of question? Please show me.
I need to attach the sound of that part for the better understanding of my question.
-------The script of sitcom,"Friends" goes:
Chandler: Does anyone else think
David Copperfield is cute?
Monica: No, but he told me, he thinks you’re a fox.
Chandler: All right, Janice, likes him. In fact she likes him so much she put him on her freebie list.
Joey: Her what?
Chandler: Well, we have a deal, where we each get to pick five celebrities that we can sleep with,
*and the other one can’t get mad.
Ross: Ah, the heart of every healthy relationship. Honesty, respect, and sex with celebrities.
Monica: So, Chandler, who’s on your list?
Chandler: Ah, Kim Basinger, Cindy Crawford, Halle Berry, Yasmine Bleeth, and ah, Jessica Rabbit.
Rachel: Now, you do realize that she’s a cartoon,
and way out of your league?
Chandler: I know, I know, I just always wondered if I could get her eyes to pop out of her head.
Joey: Hey, Monica, who would yours be?
Monica: First, I need a boyfriend,
then I can have a list.
Joey: It’s just a game Mon. Rach, how about you?
Rachel: Oh, I don’t know, I guess, Chris O’Donnel, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Daniel Day Lewis, Sting, and Parker Stevenson.
Ross: Spiderman?
Rachel: Hardy Boy.
Chandler: Peter Parker.
Ross: Thank you.

Spiderman? Ross has forgotten the real name of the comic book character Spiderman, which is Peter Parker. He hears Rachel say "Parker Stevenson" and supposes that she is naming a cartoon character the way that Chandler did with Jessica Rabbit (from the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit?).
Hardy Boys Rachel corrects Ross by naming the role that actor Parker Stevenson playe

That may be how they're portraying that conversation, but you could be wrong. Parker Stevenson was not only a Hardy Boy, but he also played Spiderman on the short lived television series.
