Revealing: When Rachel holds up the Polaroid she took of her assistant, it appears to have been one of the actual photos taken in the earlier scene; you can see the edge of the set behind him, and the overhead lights in the black space to the right of the photo.

Factual error: When Ross shows Chandler the book, he claims it is in "the biggest library on campus" at NYU, which would be Bobst library on Washington Square Park South. Later, in Central Perk, when Ross tells Rachel and Joey about the people "making babies" in front of his book, Joey says, "Wait a minute. Fifth floor, against that back wall?" Bobst's fifth floor is conference rooms only; there are no stacks on that floor. Joey might have been confused, but Ross should know better, being a professor and having just visited that location.

The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs (season 7, episode 8)

⇑
⇓

Factual error: When Monica and Chandler come back from Ross' apartment, Chandler opens the door and Monica appears from stage left when the stairs are stage right.

⇓

Deliberate "mistake": Monica sees the dog on her settee from Ross's apartment, which wouldn't be possible from the angle as Ross's place is lower than Monica's.
