Chandler: Y'know, I don't know why you're so embarrassed, they were very nice boobies.

Rachel: Nice? They were nice. I mean, that's it? I mean, mittens are nice.

Chandler: Okaaay, (Gestures) rock, hard place, me.

Roger: You're so funny! He's really funny! I wouldn't wanna be there when when the laughter stops.

1. I've watched this part several times and I couldn't figure out what did Chandler mean by that gesture.
Can anybody tell me that? Thanks!

Janice: I brought you something.

Chandler: Is it loaded? Oh, little candy hearts. (reading the candy) Chan and Jan Forever.

2. what does "loaded" mean here?
Thanks a lot!

Oh, yes,You're probably right.
Maybe Chandler thought that "You'd better bring me a gun, and it's better if it is loaded, then I would kill myself right now." Laughing

1. There's an expression "to be between a rock and a hard place." It means "to be in a very difficult situation." Probably he was pointing to the rock, the hard place, and then himself in between.

Yes... Or maybe he was afraid she was going to kill him.
