The One with the Blackout - S1-E7
Revealing mistake: When Phoebe says something like, "Look, the last candle is about to go out", she starts counting down, saying "-47,-48..." and you can see Monica looking at the candle. But there is a light source behind her (it can't be a candle because she is looking at the last candle). (00:20:05)

Continuity mistake: Just after Marcel switches the TV to "SAP," Joey comes back and tells Chandler about Ursula and how she gave him extra food.

The One with All the Poker - S1-E18
Revealing mistake: When Rachel is doing the shuffling trick, it is clear that it is a trick deck. The cards, whilst flying from one hand to the other, change the angle of flight in mid-air, and some of them even move backwards as she moves her hands further apart from each other. This could only happen if the cards were connected to each other. (00:13:20)
The One with the Fake Monica - S1-E21

The One with the Dozen Lasagnas - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Phoebe is telling Rachel that Paolo made a pass at her, Rachel unrolls a long length of kitchen roll.

The One with the Dozen Lasagnas - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: In The One Where Ross Finds Out he's having a boy (series 1), just before Rachel lets it slip, she is sitting on the edge of a chair eating a cookie.

Answer: Usually by the seventh night of Hanukkah you don't know what to get the other person, and you will probably resort to getting the other person something insignificant. Chandler is basically saying that the pen is a stupid gift.
