Why does Chandler tell the chick and the duck "back to Nintendo?"
In Friend Season 3 Episode 22 there's the following scene:
Chandler: [entering, carrying the chick and duck] Hey! Can you take a duck and a chick to the theatre?
Monica: Of course not.
Phoebe: No.
Chandler: Okay. I just wanted them to hear it from somebody else. [to the chick and the duck] All, right, fellas, back to Nintendo.
Is he saying that "let's go back and play Nintendo" or is he referring to the game in Nintendo where you kill ducks by a gun?
Best Answer
My interpretation is that he was telling them that since they can't go to the theatre, they're going back to his room to play Nintendo together (e.g as a group). It's inherently funny to think of a grown man sitting in a room playing multi-player video games with two birds, not least because their stubby wings are almost uniquely unsuited for handling a controller.
Your alternate interpretation, that he was telling them to go back to a Nintendo game makes less sense, not least because there's no chicks or chicken in the most famous game of that genre, Duck Hunt

Answer 2
I think he is pretending to be a parent telling kids to go to their room and play nintendo coz they are not mature enough to go to a play.
Answer 3
From what I remember, the reference to Nintendo could be the TV cabinet where the chick and the duck slept. Joey and Chandler had a PlayStation, and it is very much likely that they owned a Nintendo prior to owning a PS1. The Nintendo cabinet could have been where the guys put the chick and the duck to sleep.
