The One At The Beach (season 3, episode 25)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When the six friends arrive at the beach house notice the sand between shots. At first it's all wet due to "flood damage", two seconds later the sand's dry.

Continuity: Near the end, when Joey is asking Ross if Bonnie's room will be free tonight, he is pointing his hands at Ross. In the very next shot they are in his pockets.

Continuity: When Phoebe goes to the other Phoebe's house, it's raining, but when Phoebe gets into the house her hair and her clothes are dry.

⇓

Continuity: When Phoebe goes to visit her mum for the first time, before she takes the photo off the fridge the cookie jar has its lid on. After she has taken the photo off the fridge, the lid has come off the cookie jar though there is no way Phoebe senior could have taken it off.

Factual error: When the gang all see the beach house for the first time, it's covered in a layer of sand, which is supposedly left over from a recent flood. Well, if there really had been a flood, there would have been mold on the walls and debris or junk from the outside, and the sand wouldn't have been nice and clean and dry; it would have been moldy. And there would've been a pattern, likely on the walls, of where the water rose up to and where it receded. Not only that, but how did it get in? All of the doors and windows are intact.

Revealing: Before Phoebe agrees to carry Frank and Alice's' triplets, she already has a baby bump.

The One With The Jellyfish (season 4, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Ross storms out of the room and the rest of the friends are in the kitchen, you can see the stage lights at the top of the screen.

⇓

Continuity: When Chandler, Joey and Monica tell their story of the jellyfish bite Chandler says sometimes at night he still hears Joey's voice screaming "Do it ! Do it!". Joey says he yells it through the wall at night to freak Chandler out, but no nights have passed. They tell the story the same day the jellyfish bite occurred. Notice Rachel, Ross and Phoebe are wearing the same clothes they had before they left the beach house.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Phoebe and her mother are in her mother's house at the beach. Phoebe has just found out that Phoebe senior is her real mother. Have a look at Phoebe's mother in this episode and the last episode of series 3 (The One at the Beach). Her hair is a lot shorter in series 4 even though no time has passed in the storyline.

Audio problem: When Phoebe is knocking on her sister Ursula's door to tell her about finding her birth mum, the third knock is heard a split second before you see Phoebe's hand action.

The One With The 'Cuffs (season 4, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: In Joanna's office, Chandler and Rachel are pulling his pants from one another while he is cuffed to the filing cabinet. Right before Rachel says "What if I clean your bathroom for a month?" she throws the pants onto a chair, but then when Chandler later says "Freedom. I want my freedom. Why won't you hear me?" he opens the door to yell to Sophie and they are both holding the pants again.

⇓

Continuity: Joey's encounter with the encyclopedia salesman is riddled with errors. First, when the salesman is talking about Van Gogh and saying "He painted that," he points to a page that is all text; later, Joey is reading about vomit, and it is at a pont much further on in the book than when the salesman read about vulcanized rubber (which it shouldn't be, given the encyclopedia is alphabetized); finally, when Joey buys the "V" volume, as he opens it he has a $50 bill in his hand, and when the shot changes to show the salesman he is somehow folding and pocketing it without having taken it from Joey.

The One With The Ballroom Dancing (season 4, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Other: Right at the end of the episode, Phoebe's got a job interview. We see the outside of a massage parlour, but the name on the awning has been superimposed - it moves about a bit while the shot itself is still.

Edit Submitted by Jon Sandys Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: In the Central Perk scene when Joey is telling Monica and Rachel about the dancing, Monica's legs are crossed left over right and then right over left, and back again.

Visible crew/equipment: When Phoebe and Rick are sat on the massage table, keep an eye behind Phoebe's head when the camera is on her, particularly after Rick says, "I can always find another masseuse." You can see the shadow of the boom mic moving.

⇓

Revealing: During the end bit, before we get to see Phoebe when she is being interviewed at Lara and Jeni's Massage, if you look closely at the name of the massage parlor, you'll see that, although the camera shakes and bumps, the words stay on the very same spot on the screen. Obviously the canopy was blank and the name was digitally added later.

Other: In the scene where Rachel is going to take out the trash, Monica tells her the garbage room is the 3rd door on the left. However, when Rachel comes back with the pizza box and Monica leaves for the garbage room, she leaves the apartment and walks towards the right - there are no doors that way, just the stairs.

The One With Joey's New Girlfriend (season 4, episode 5)

⇑
⇓

Audio problem: In the sequence where Chandler chases Kathy down the street, there is a moment, shortly after he walks into the man with the hotdog, where he shouts her name, but his lips don't move at all.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: Chandler is chasing Kathy down the street trying to get her attention. During a close-up of him running, just before the camera cuts away we see a guy's face on the left; when it cuts back to Chandler he runs for a while and then encounters the same guy (the dog-walker). Also, when he finally lands in front of Kathy, there is a bike rider coming towards them, but as the camera cuts back and forth between the two, the rider never passes them.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: During the scene where Chandler is playing hide and seek with the duck and the chick, the duck moves from facing the opposite way to him, facing the same way, and then the opposite way as Joey walks in.
