Continuity mistake: When Phoebe goes to visit her mom for the first time, she takes a cookie from the cookie jar and leaves the lid off. But in one shot, the lid is back on. The lid is back off in the following shots. (00:06:36)
The One With The Princess Leia Fantasy - S3-E1
Other mistake: When Phoebe makes fun of Ross' Princess Leia fantasy with the rolls, Rachel tries to stop her; the shots used are the same action, just from different angles. Look at Rachel's hands and the towel in her hand when Phoebe puts the rolls by her ears.
The One In Barbados, part 2 - S9-E24
Continuity mistake: As Mike and Monica are playing ping-ping, two people playing checkers magically materialize behind Monica. One second they're not there and the next second they are. (00:12:25)
The One Where Everybody Finds Out - S5-E14
Continuity mistake: When Monica and Chandler come in to ask Joey about Pheobe knowing about their relationship he throws the Hugsy teddy behind him. In the next shot we see behind the chair and Hugsy is not there.
The One With The Free Porn - S4-E17
Other mistake: 10:50pm boarding and departure, but it is broad daylight outside. (00:09:25)
The One With The Giant Poking Device - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: When Ben says Monica's name she's holding the Minute Maid juice box, but in Ben's closeup the juice box is on the table, though it's back in Monica's hand in the next shot. (00:08:50)
The One Where Monica Sings - S9-E13
Visible crew/equipment: After Joey dips his finger into the hot wax and smears it all over his hands, when Sonya walks out of the back room we can see her tape mark on the floor, which she promptly steps on.
The One Where Monica Sings - S9-E13
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe, Monica and Rachel are talking in the coffee house, a waitress walks by and in the next shot when the camera focuses on Monica, and comes back to Rachel, the waitress walks by again. (00:05:00)
The One After the Superbowl, part 2 - S2-E13
Visible crew/equipment: When Joey walks into the bathroom and starts whistling, the shadows of the camera and a passing crewmember can be seen on the door of Chandler's cubicle, then the camera's shadow moves as Joey walks toward Chandler and also when Joey's about to stand on the toilet.
The One with the Monkey - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When David kisses Phoebe in the lab the first time, he writes "yes" on the board. Later on when they are in the lab again the "yes" is different than the previous one.
The One With Ross's Wedding, part 2 - S4-E24
Audio problem: Toward the end of the episode Ross' Dad and Emily's dad are arguing. Ross comes between them and you can hear the audio saying"From now on everybody gets along!" But it does not match up with the movement of Ross' lips.
The One Where Ross Hugs Rachel - S6-E2
Visible crew/equipment: After Ross tells Phoebe that he does not have feelings for Rachel, just as Ross walks into the apartment to find Rachel crying, the shadow of the moving boom mic can be seen on the wall at the top, left side of the screen. (00:20:15)
The One With Ross and Monica's Cousin - S7-E19
Continuity mistake: When Monica comes into Phoebe's apartment for her Surprise Bridal Shower, the view of the hallway outside the apartment is a dead end on the right side (the left side cannot be seen), however, in S7:E12 (The One Where They're Up All Night), both when Phoebe is disposing of the fire alarm and when the fireman is at the door, it is clear that there is another apartment opposite hers, as well as a trash chute on the right side. (00:18:25)
The One With The Truth About London - S7-E16
Revealing mistake: When Monica gives Phoebe the headache medication (Hexadrin) she, not only doesn't take the lid off - and therefore fails in pretending to put it back on - but also doesn't actually give Phoebe anything. Extended episode. (00:07:30)
The One Where They're Up All Night - S7-E12
Revealing mistake: When Chandler is getting a pan out to warm some milk, he successfully pulls the bottom pan out without too much disruption, however, the joke (and entire plot device - to wake Monica up) is to make as much noise as possible so Perry pulls out more pans on purpose and knocks them on the floor. This is quite clear - you can see him grasp the wok and pull it out onto the floor. (00:06:30)
The One With All The Haste - S4-E19
Factual error: The guys are gone for a single night, watching the Knicks game. (You can tell this because they talk about how "we can go see the game tonight," and when they get back everyone's wearing the same clothes as that conversation.) When they get back, both apartments are completely switched back: the large, heavy furniture is replaced, the posters are re-hung, etc. Even if they were gone from, say, 6 p.m. to midnight or so, there is no way that Rachel and Monica would be able to make that transition in that kind of time.
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Character mistake: When they are about to start the game, Ross declares that "the first team to answer the most questions wins." This is a nonsensical statement. By that logic, the first team to answer a question correctly would be the winner. It should be either the team that has correctly answered the most questions at the end of the game wins, or the first team to correctly answer an X number of questions.
Suggested correction: While it's a weird way for him to say it, he starts by saying "each team will answer ten questions", so no, the first team to answer a question wouldn't win.
Yes, he qualified that it was a 10-question game, and we as the audience understand going in how the winner is decided. It's just the way he declared how the winner would be decided didn't make sense. It would be like watching an NBA game, and before tipoff, the crew chief tells both teams that the first team to score the most baskets wins. We know what the rules of an NBA game are, but the referee makes a nonsensical statement all the same.
Except there's so many variations of how a team can win a game; best 3 out of 5, win by 2, or a game can even end in a tie. Since this isn't a professional sport where all the players know how a game ends, Ross is basically saying after 10 rounds, if there is a tie, it will go to sudden death with the team with the first correct answer winning, just not in so many words.
The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5
Character mistake: Janice enters Central Perk with a large shopping bag and even shows Chandler what she bought but when she leaves a few hours later, she leaves without it.
The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5
Revealing mistake: When Ross and Rachel are looking at the pink clothes in the washer, it's clear the clothes are actually dry. (00:17:20)
The One with the Blackout - S1-E7
Other mistake: Ross says that he was at Disneyland with Carol and got caught hooking up on Small World and asked to "never to return to the Magic Kingdom." Disneyland is in California and the Magic Kingdom is part of Disney World in Florida. (00:06:10)
