Continuity mistake: When Monica shows Chandler the photo of Chi-Chi, as she says, "It's good stuff, huh," in the closeup Monica takes hold of the photo with her raised empty right hand, but in the next wide shot Monica is holding a Sharpie in her right hand and the photo is in her raised left hand.(00:02:25)
Continuity mistake: After Gunther responds to Ross with the biting "ezels" retort, it cuts to Monica and Brenda in the living room, and when Monica falls off her chair, the rug and blue pad underneath are suddenly rolled up at the corner, then the rug is properly flat.(00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: After the opening credits, when Joey and Phoebe enter Joey's apartment, note the poster hanging on the wall and some items on top of the fridge, as well as a few of the magnets on the fridge, change, move, vanish, or suddenly appear in the following shots. Examples: the wall poster moves closer to the door; the Chunky B. Wear magnet at the side of the fridge moves to the freezer door; a takeout menu suddenly appears on the fridge door; the red star magnet vanishes; etc.(00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: When Rachel tells Ross that she "kind of lost" Marcel it cuts to an exterior shot from the balcony, and if we look past Rachel and Ross we see there's a table against the wall, under the Maïna La Voyante poster, but that table does not exist in previous or following shots.(00:10:15)
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe realises she just met her dad she turns to her friends to share the news, and in the closeup she's holding a pair of 3D glasses in her right hand and Monica's holding a pair in her left hand, but in the next wideshot both of those glasses have vanished.(00:09:15)
Continuity mistake: When Chandler speeds up the timer for his turn he places the timer down at the right side of the pillow, but it's at the opposite side of the pillow when he lies down. Then before Monica starts giving Chandler his massage, she sets the timer and places it near the foot of the bed which we see in Chandler's closeup, but in the next shot when she says, "Say goodbye to sore muscles," oblivious to Chandler's pain, the timer is lying by the pillows behind her, near the head of the bed. Note, in the "uncut scene" version, Chandler grabs the timer to speed up his torture, and Monica takes it out of his hand thinking he was going to add more time, then she places the timer behind her.(00:00:25)
Continuity mistake: When Ross shows Chandler and Joey the can of "Carol's favorite beer" it's unopened as Ross makes a crack about how he "should have known," but in the next shot we see Ross lifting the can and drinking from it, even though he never actually pulled open the stay-tab between the two shots (viewed in widescreen). [In the extended version of the episode you see Ross open the can before taking a drink. In the standard version, the mistake is valid].(00:09:55)

Continuity mistake: When Ross asks Rachel to step into the hallway, we see the whipped cream atop the trifle dessert plates on the table, but while Joey gives everyone acting lessons all the whipped cream is gone, then the dollops of whipped cream reappear once again.
Continuity mistake: When Rachel tells Phoebe that she's making a traditional English trifle, Monica's holding a cloth napkin, but in the next shot the napkin's suddenly gone and she's now holding forks.
Continuity mistake: When the waitress opens the door to the kitchen to tell Monica about a complimentary customer, in the first shot the waitress pulls the door open and stands in front of it, but in the next shot she's pushing the swing door into the kitchen poking her head in to talk to Monica.(00:20:35)
Continuity mistake: In the very first shot of Chandler and Rachel sitting on the couch, Chandler has his legs crossed left over right, but it cuts to the closeup and his legs are crossed right over left, then it's back to left over right.
Continuity mistake: When Chandler throws the basketball and breaks the lamp, the base falls onto the chair with the shade, but when Joey walks into his room the lamp base is back up on the desk.
Continuity mistake: After Rachel's 3 AM phone call to her pediatrician, when Rachel suggests using Dr. Gettleman she raises her left hand and points at Ross, but in the next closeup it's her right arm that's raised.
Continuity mistake: After Joey runs out of the apartment to go make the fake videotape, when it cuts to Rachel walking back into the apartment the table with the tablecloth is quite far away from the front door, but when Caitlin knocks and Ross rushes to go flirt with her that table is near the door.(00:13:35 - 00:15:15)
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe, Chandler, Monica, and Joey are eating the organic wax, Monica has her feet up on the wall with her legs crossed left over right, but in Joey's closeups when he asks about needing a new walk, Monica's legs are crossed right over left.(00:18:00)
Continuity mistake: When Monica and Phoebe get excited about being a "Waxine girl", Monica puts the mop upright against the counter and the mop falls over, but in Phoebe's closeup we see the mop is still upright behind her.(00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: While Rachel and Ross are fighting, when Rachel realises that she was at Ross' apartment at the same time as his "little friend", Ross holds out the newspaper (so she can hit him) with his left hand, but in the next shot it's held out in his right hand.(00:13:40)
Continuity mistake: When Ross is listening to Rachel's message on his answering machine, only the open pill bottle sits on the counter beside his mug, but then the bottle cap and cotton filler suddenly appear next to it.(00:03:00)
