The Last One (2) (series 10)

Aren't you meant to switch all mobile phones off before you board a plane? [Yes, you're supposed to switch mobile phones off, but it's entirely possible to forget.]
Edit Corrected by Ronnie Bischof

The Last One (1) (series 10)

The foosball table must be magical - the chick and duck double in size after they're rescued as compared to when Joey first shows Phoebe earlier that day. [I just watched this episode and they don't double in size.]

The One With Rachel's Going Away Party (series 10)

When the woman who is having a baby for Monica and Chandler goes into labour (Erica), Monica starts to freak out, as she sits down on the chair Chandler pushes a couple of coats onto Monica's lap, obviously to hide Courtney Cox's pregnant belly. [Perhaps that is the reason, but it is not a mistake within the context of the scene that he would put coats in her lap. Therefore it's trivia at best, but not a mistake.]
Edit
When packing up the spare room in Monica and Chandler's apartment, the boys find a pair of fluffy handcuffs in the wardrobe. Monica and Chandler painted the room and inside the wardrobe when Rachel moved out; wouldn't they have found them then? [We have no evidence of Monica and Chandler painting the wardrobe, so they wouldn't have found them.]

The One With Princess Consuela (series 10)

At the end when Ross is at Monica and Chandler's waiting for Rachel to return from dinner, it is still light outside. [How is this a mistake?]
Edit Corrected by Starchild

The One Where Joey Speaks French (series 10)

They take the mother of their adopted baby around NYC to see the sights. One of these is the Statue of Liberty, which has been closed to the public since 9/11. [This is false. The actual Statue of Liberty remains closed until further notice. However the grounds of Liberty Island, where Lady Liberty is located, is still open to the public, which is accessible by Ferry.]
Edit

The One With Phoebe's Wedding (series 10)

At the end when Ross is trying to get the dog to go to the bathroom, you can see the shadow of the trainer of the dog over the ground, getting the dog to run around everywhere. [There is no shadow.]
Edit Corrected by Starchild
Orchids in Swedish is orkidéer, not lorkins. In fact, lorkins means nothing in Swedish. [It may just be that the Swedish guy is just mispronouncing 'orchids' with his Swedish accent.]
Edit
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. [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.]
Edit Corrected by tw_stuart
Just after Monica tells Phoebe to be at the rehearsal dinner at 18h00 her phone rings and she answers it "Gellar here". She has been married to Chandler since season 7, surely she means "Bing." [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.]

The One Where The Stripper Cries (series 10)

Fair enough that in TOW The Flashback Rachel doesn't remember Chandler if she had just met him at the Geller's Thanksgiving years ago, but this episode reveals she was at a party with him and even kissed him. Ok, she was drunk when she kissed him but she would still remember the party, and surely she'd remember the guy who was the reason her friend Monica lost all that weight. [(This is really just emphasising that when Rachel was younger she was selfish and obsessed with herself and she didn't really notice other people around her. When she was in high school (the one where the stripper cries) she was the pretty cheerleader who didn't care about anyone else and when she was with Barry in the one with the flashback she was still very rich and snobby and wouldn't have - or at least would pretend not to - remember Chandler.)]
Edit

The One With The Birth Mother (series 10)

David Schwimmer is 6'2" tall and Jennifer Aniston is 5'6". There is no way that clothes that fit Rachel would also fit Ross. However when he puts on the clothes that Rachel bought they seem to fit him perfectly. [They really do not fit perfectly, the item he wears is clearly far too tight for him.]
Edit Corrected by tw_stuart
One of the storylines in this episode is based on Joey not being willing to share food. However in previous episodes he has happily shared food several times. [Being Joey it is very plauseable that he changed his mind regarding this issue. The show is not 24/7 so something could have happened.]
Edit Corrected by Starchild
In 10-9, The One With The Birth Mother, Erika hands Monica and Chandler a sonagram picture. Would they not see that she is carrying two babies on the sonagram? In the episode where Erika is giving birth, neither she nor Monica nor Chandler know that she is expecting twins. [It is possible that one baby was behind the other and couldn't be seen by the sonogram, this happens very commonly.]
Edit Corrected by JCT05
Joey can read Phoebe's mind! Joey asks for the phone number of Phoebe's friend. Phoebe gives Joey a pen. He writes the name of the girlfriend on his hand and gives the pen back. Phoebe never tells him the phone number. A couple of scenes later, Joey is having dinner with that girl. [Obviously time has passed since the first scene, Therefore it is very likely Pheobe could have given it Joey after she noticed the mistake or vice versa.]
Edit Corrected by Starchild

The One With The Late Thanksgiving (series 10)

Surely the adoption office won't have anyone in it on Thanksgiving. Why do they get a call then from them. [It's not that strange that someone would be in on Thanksgiving. In one episode Chandler and the people in his office had to work on Christmas eve and New Year's eve, so why couldn't the adoption office have someone there on Thanksgiving?]
Edit Corrected by littlestar Time
When the floating heads are in the door - the wine glass in front of Monica goes from empty to half full in shot to shot. [The empty glass seen in the sideways shot is the one in front of Chandler; it remains empty in both front & side shots. Monica's glass is behind & partly obscured by it in the side shot.]
Edit

The One With Ross's Grant (series 10)

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. [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.]

The One Where Rachel's Sister Babysits (series 10)

When Joey uses the thesaurus to write his recommendation letter to the adoption agency, he signs the letter, "Baby Kangaroo Tribbiani." While certainly comic, and even though the word "joey" does mean "baby kangaroo," it does not come up in the MS Word thesaurus (and it was strongly suggested that they were using Word, as they referenced the thesaurus being under the Tools menu), nor does www.thesaurus.com correlate the two. [Most software has a Tools menu so it's not reasonable to assume that it could only be MS Word.]
Edit Corrected by tw_stuart

The One With The Cake (series 10)

Emma was born in May, the season finale, and they celebrated her birthday in October. [I think it has already been established that what happens on the show doesn't necessarily occur in the same month when it airs. For instance, the episode when Rachel gave birth aired in May but the same day is portrayed in the next season premier in September.]
