Visible crew/equipment: After Joey tells Chandler he's going to his folks and might stay there for a few days while looking for an apartment, just as Joey retrieves his keys from the shelf, a crew member wearing a black shirt and white pants is visible on the left side of the screen.(00:08:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When Ross tells Chandler and Joey, "I'd feel a whole lot better if you got dressed now," the reflections on the TV screen show there's a crew member at the side of the sofa wearing a white T-shirt, as well as the camera and camera operator behind the sofa.(00:00:30)
Visible crew/equipment: After Rachel agrees that it will indeed take her 6 or 7 minutes to get dressed, with the caveat, "Once I figure out what I'm wearing," it cuts to Joey offering Ross the "glass of fat" as he stands behind the couch. In the next shot of Ross, the reflections on the TV screen show Joey is still sitting on the couch, and the camera and camera operator (wearing a dark shirt and raises an arm) behind the sofa.(00:01:15)
Continuity mistake: When Monica shows Chandler the photo of Chi-Chi, as she says, "It's good stuff, huh," in the closeup Monica takes hold of the photo with her raised empty right hand, but in the next wide shot Monica is holding a Sharpie in her right hand and the photo is in her raised left hand.(00:02:25)
Continuity mistake: After Gunther responds to Ross with the biting "ezels" retort, it cuts to Monica and Brenda in the living room, and when Monica falls off her chair, the rug and blue pad underneath are suddenly rolled up at the corner, then the rug is properly flat.(00:11:15)
Visible crew/equipment: When Joey the Elf deliberately jingles his elf shoes, Chandler's head may explode because of all the unspoken mocking jokes. It then cuts to a shot of Marcel, and the trainer's hand is visible in the bottom left corner of the screen.(00:07:25)
Continuity mistake: After the opening credits, when Joey and Phoebe enter Joey's apartment, note the poster hanging on the wall and some items on top of the fridge, as well as a few of the magnets on the fridge, change, move, vanish, or suddenly appear in the following shots. Examples: the wall poster moves closer to the door; the Chunky B. Wear magnet at the side of the fridge moves to the freezer door; a takeout menu suddenly appears on the fridge door; the red star magnet vanishes; etc.(00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: When Rachel tells Ross that she "kind of lost" Marcel it cuts to an exterior shot from the balcony, and if we look past Rachel and Ross we see there's a table against the wall, under the Maïna La Voyante poster, but that table does not exist in previous or following shots.(00:10:15)
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe realises she just met her dad she turns to her friends to share the news, and in the closeup she's holding a pair of 3D glasses in her right hand and Monica's holding a pair in her left hand, but in the next wideshot both of those glasses have vanished.(00:09:15)
Continuity mistake: When Chandler speeds up the timer for his turn he places the timer down at the right side of the pillow, but it's at the opposite side of the pillow when he lies down. Then before Monica starts giving Chandler his massage, she sets the timer and places it near the foot of the bed which we see in Chandler's closeup, but in the next shot when she says, "Say goodbye to sore muscles," oblivious to Chandler's pain, the timer is lying by the pillows behind her, near the head of the bed. Note, in the "uncut scene" version, Chandler grabs the timer to speed up his torture, and Monica takes it out of his hand thinking he was going to add more time, then she places the timer behind her.(00:00:25)
Continuity mistake: When Ross shows Chandler and Joey the can of "Carol's favorite beer" it's unopened as Ross makes a crack about how he "should have known," but in the next shot we see Ross lifting the can and drinking from it, even though he never actually pulled open the stay-tab between the two shots (viewed in widescreen). [In the extended version of the episode you see Ross open the can before taking a drink. In the standard version, the mistake is valid].(00:09:55)
Trivia: The director, James Burrows, used the Warner Bros. jet to take the newly hired cast members to Las Vegas for an evening, to help the entire gang bond while gambling and having dinner together. (Stated in crew/cast interviews).
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)
Visible crew/equipment: Right after the intro, in the first shot of Gunther, Ross, and Rachel, just as Ross says, "Thanks, Gunther," the camera is visible at the left side of the screen.(00:02:00)
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.
Continuity mistake: When Chandler removes his clothes while he and Susie are in the bathroom, Susie picks up both of his shoes and holds them in her arms in all of her closeups, but when Chandler's standing on the toilet one of his shoes is still on the floor in the wideshots.
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.
Continuity mistake: When Ross asks Rachel to step into the hallway, we see the whipped cream atop the trifle dessert plates on the table, but while Joey gives everyone acting lessons all the whipped cream is gone, then the dollops of whipped cream reappear once again.
Continuity mistake: When Rachel tells Phoebe that she's making a traditional English trifle, Monica's holding a cloth napkin, but in the next shot the napkin's suddenly gone and she's now holding forks.
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)
