[the bunny got away] is funny here because Chandler is making fun of Joey's hat. Joey thinks the hat is fashionable but Chandler says he looks like a magician. A very famous magic trick is to pull a bunny out of a hat. [you're gonna make them all disappear] is funny for the same reason. Magicians often make people disappear in their acts. [sophisticated] here means "having, revealing, or proceeding from a great deal of worldly experience and knowledge of fashion and culture".
