Quotes

Ross: I would date her, but there is a big age difference.

Joey: Well think about it - when you're 90...

Ross: I know, she'll be 80 and it won't be such a big difference.

Joey: No, that's not what I was going to say at all. What I was going to say is, when you're 90 you'll still have the memory of what it was like to be with a 20-year-old.

The sofa is still visible in the background but the coat has disappeared without anyone having been near it.

The One with the Evil Orthodontist (season 1, episode 20)

⇑
⇓

Other: This is the episode where a guy across from Monica's apartment is spying on them. Joey says he caught him spying into his and Chandler's apartment yesterday. This is impossible considering the layout of the building i.e. the fact that the only part of Joey and Chandler's apartment which faces toward the spying guy has the stairwell and hallway blocking it from view (not to mention the protruding part of Monica's apartment). There is another window in Joey's apartment but it faces completely the wrong direction. The bathroom has no windows. The angles just don't add up.

The One with the Fake Monica (season 1, episode 21)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: In the scene when Marcel has to get on the plane. It is obvious that David Schwimmer is just shaking his leg and Marcel is doing nothing besides sit on david's foot. It is especially obvious in the second shot.

⇓

Continuity: When Monica, the fake Monica and Rachel are in the girls' apartment talking about the two Monicas auditioning for CATS, Monica (real) has a baguette and a bowl of sandwich filler on the table. In one shot of all three of them, she opens the baguette and starts filling it, then the camera goes in for a close-up of the real Monica and she opens the same baguette and starts filling it again.

Continuity: In the scene when Joey and Chandler come into the cafe to say that Marcel got into San Diego zoo, the man who wants him for animal fighting turns and says that Ross is making a big mistake. At this point the monkey starts to go down Ross's arm and almost drops off but in the next shot he is far up on his shoulder again.

The One with the Ick Factor (season 1, episode 22)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Monica takes off her belt and throws it onto the couch, it lands on Rachel's arm. Throughout the scene, between shots of Rachel and Monica talking, the belt constantly disappears, reappears and changes position without Rachel ever touching it.

Continuity: Monica is in her apartment with her boyfriend and they are kissing, and she invites him to stay the night. Watch the glass of wine she has poured herself: the amount of wine in the glass keeps changing.

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene when Rachel is sleeping next to Ross, you can see part of the mattress behind the sofa which cushions his fall later on when he trips.

Continuity: In the scene where Chandler and Phoebe come into the coffee house from Phoebe's first day as his secretary, Phoebe makes no discernible effort to order - but after Chandler says it pays to know the man who wears his shoes the shot cuts to her holding a large latte cup which was not visible earlier in the scene.
