The One After Joey And Rachel Kiss - S10-E1

Corrected entry: When Ross walks into Monica and Chandler's hotel room, he is packed much earlier than both Monica and Chandler. However, in the episode after Monica and Chandler get married, Ross only signs out of the hotel a few minutes before check-out time. This is also implied by other characters who say that he does that all the time.

Correction: Being packed doesn't mean he will check out immediately.

Correction: Completely in line with Monica's character that she would continue to refer to herself by her maiden name or alternatively a completely plausible character mistake. Monica also states that she never changed her name in a later episode. (The One With Princess Consuela).

Friends (1994)

Correction: Chandler has made very clear that he doesn't care about his job and since none of his friends know or care what he does, why would he worry about getting this right?

The One Without The Ski Trip - S3-E17

Corrected entry: When the five of them are at the rest stop, Joey manages to get the cab door open. When Phoebe starts to reverse the car, you can tell the cab hasn't broke down as you can see the brake lights come on. No lights were on when the cab started moving. (00:11:10)

Correction: The car has run out of petrol but still has electrical power so the brake lights will operate. Phoebe starts the car and when it stops she put her foot on the brake. I don't see any mistake.

The One With The Ultimate Fighting Champion - S3-E24

Corrected entry: Near the end when Chandler is in a meeting, Stevens comes back later because he forgot his suitcase. If you look carefully, he picks up his suitcase and then puts it back down on the table on purpose. Also, when he leaves the room, you can see him turn around and hide out of shot waiting for his cue to come back in. (00:20:15)

Correction: Stevens is making an excuse to come back in because he wants the boss to spank him. All his actions are deliberate.

The One With The Cake - S10-E4

Corrected entry: When Joey tries to get Ross' parents to share their birthday gift for Emma with him, Ross' father says: "Which one are you?" As well as having met him many times before, the only other options of who he could be is Ross, his own son or Chandler, his daughter's husband.

Correction: Certainly not a movie mistake to have a character forget who someone is. Some people are not good with names and faces.

Correction: It's hypothetical, Chandler is mocking his own inability to show emotion by saying that *if* they get married then he'll be standing long faced at the alter. Lots of couples talk about being married well before a proposal is made.

The One With Phoebe's Wedding - S10-E12

Corrected entry: Isn't is strange how normally there is a busy street/road outside the coffee house, but during Phoebe's wedding ceremony, which we can see takes place directly outside it, it appears to be more like an open area of land? The wedding could never have taken place in the middle of a road (even if the roads were quiet because of the blizzard) but also the setting of her wedding is very dissimilar to the normal setting outside the coffee house.

Correction: It's already made clear that this is the worst blizzard for many years and the road outside Central Perk has never been the busiest so using the road is far from impossible. Secondly the view outside is unrecognisable both because we've never seen it from that angle and because it's covered in snow.

The One With Ross's Grant - S10-E6

Corrected entry: Monica seems shocked when she sees Gladys, as if she's never seen her before. However, if you carefully examine the flashback scene in Monica's apartment in TOW All The Resolutions, you can see Gladys hanging up in the apartment to the left of the door (from the camera). Therefore, Monica has already had Gladys in her apartment, and therefore would probably not be surprised that Phoebe has it.

Correction: She's shocked because she has seen her before and hoped to never see her again. That's clear from the rest of the story.

Correction: We very clearly see Phoebe place the blue cup on the coffee table in front of her.

Friends (1994)

Correction: We only see her take the chair from the car, we don't see where she puts it and she is out of shot for easily long enough to have moved it.

Correction: From the angle we have, it's not possible to tell if Monica is there or not.

Friends (1994)

Correction: The camera angle is different when Chandler is saying goodnight so we have a different view. If you watch carefully, you can see the towel is still there, we can just see the edge of it.

Correction: I've checked and it most definitely doesn't. It's on all the time.

Friends (1994)

Correction: That was in the first episode. Joey has a playboy image so Chandler probably didn't even know or ask. It's highly unlikely that Joey was with only one girl for those three years, so Chandler's point would still be valid.

Friends (1994)

Correction: Yes, Rachel made a mistake but the human memory is quite fallible and to remember the wrong day several months later isn't really a mistake in the show, it's a normal human failing.

Correction: Sorry, I've watched this scene very carefully and the phone handset is standing upright on the counter during the whole time.

The One Where Chandler Crosses The Line - S4-E7

Corrected entry: When Ross is playing his keyboard for the gang, he presses a note twice and gets a single note. The next time he presses the keyboard the accompaniment starts automatically. Ross would have had to press a settings button to get the accompaniment to start automatically on a keyboard note press. However, we don't see Ross press any settings buttons.

Correction: The shot switches to the gang at least twice after the single notes and before the accompaniment kicks in. Ross would have had enough time to press a button during these moments.

tw_stuart

But if he was always going to play them the same song, why wouldn't the arrangement start straight away instead of just the time when Chandler says 'oh my god play'. He then completely switches keys which also makes no sense.

Friends (1994)

Correction: The screen doesn't move, the camera angle changes from shot to shot which is why the clock is sometimes fully visible and sometimes only partially visible.

Friends (1994)

Correction: Calls to most emergency services will start with a recorded message or if you are very unlucky, the busy signal. We see Joey for a very short time and it's very plausible that he's waiting to be connected.
