What does it mean? It's about the drama 'Friends'?!
Question: I'm watching 'Friends' and have 2 questions.
1. It’s been like a half an hour.
It means we've been waiting for 30 minutes. Right?
2. If this was a cartoon, you’d be looking like a ham right about now.
I have no idea about this. What is he talking about?
[Scene: Rift’s Restaurant, as seen in Mad About You, Joey and Chandler are there.]
Chandler: This is unbelievable. It’s been like a half an hour. If this was a cartoon, you’d be looking like a ham right about now.
(Ursula Buffay, Phoebe’s identical twin sister, is waiting on tables in her inimitable manner.)
Joey: There’s the waitress. Excuse me, Miss. Hello, Miss?

it just means that they have been waiting 30 minutes, and they are so hungry that if they lived in a cartoon world (instead of the "real" world) that he would look like a ham...
in cartoons when someone is hungry, and there is no food, they start halucinating, and the other person starts to look like food, its a reference to being so hungry you could resort to cannibalism
In cartoons if a character is really hungry and looking at something or someone nearby.... that person or thing may appear (like an illusion - mind playing games) to be a food of some kind... like a ham in this case. Sometimes a turkey leg... etc. You can do that in cartoons.
Like in a desert...when a person thinks he sees water up ahead because he's so thirsty, but it's just in his mind, a mirage!
Yes, half hour would be 30 minutes.
