The One With Ross's Sandwich - S5-E9
Revealing mistake: Joey's bucket of chicken is, rather obviously, a KFC bucket with "Finger Lickin' Chicken" stuck over the original KFC lettering - you can even see the picture of Col. Sanders. (00:17:10)

Revealing mistake: Joey's bucket of chicken is, rather obviously, a KFC bucket with "Finger Lickin' Chicken" stuck over the original KFC lettering - you can even see the picture of Col. Sanders. (00:17:10)

The One Where Chandler Can't Cry - S6-E14
Continuity mistake: In the cafe, Ross says to Rachel, "I'll tell her we can't see each other any more," and we see Rachel bring her hands down from her face. However, in the previous shot we had already seen her lower her hands. (00:03:25)

The One After Ross Says Rachel - S5-E1
Revealing mistake: When Chandler and Monica (and later Joey) are talking on the plane on the way back from London, the little display screen (showing a map of the Atlantic and coastlines) in front of Monica's seat shows the little grey plane indicating their position and direction. The plane is facing east, as though they are travelling towards London, but they are supposed to be flying back to New York. (00:14:45)

The One With The Hypnosis Tape - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: Just after Chandler has used the chapstick, in a shot from the side the stick is in his right hand, and then in the next shot he is instantly putting a tissue (which wasn't visible before) up to his lips, and the stick has moved to his left hand. (00:10:45)
23rd Jul 2004
Continuity mistake: When they are talking about sperm donation, Joey is eating a cracker with jam on it. Between shots it instantly rotates in his hand. You can tell because the jam goes from being on the top to the bottom side, and because of the way he is holding it you can see there is only jam on one side. (00:14:15)
15th Jun 2004
The One With Ross's Denial - S6-E3
Continuity mistake: When Joey is interviewing the potential roommate and Chandler comes in, Joey's stance changes a few times. His grip on the application form changes, and when he points to the bathroom his arm is in a slightly, but noticeably, different place in the next shot. (00:11:10)
12th Jun 2004
The One With the Baby on the Bus - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: When Rachel is introducing the "professional musician" in Central Perk, just as she walks off a bald black man in a red shirt walks past the window. Then the woman sits on her stool and the man walks past again. (00:13:50)
12th Jun 2004
The One With the Baby on the Bus - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: When Joey and Chandler are on the bus, they pull up just past a sort of concrete-arch gateway on the right. Then when they chase after the bus, you can see them running towards this archway again. (00:10:50)
26th Apr 2004
The One With Phoebe's Wedding - S10-E12
Revealing mistake: Just before we see everyone setting the wedding up outside, there is a sweep shot of the city with snow falling. It's very obvious that this snow is added digitally and it's very badly done. There is no snow on any of the buildings, and there is no snow hitting the surface of the water. (00:20:50)
24th Apr 2004
Continuity mistake: During breakfast, when Joey and Phoebe are talking about driving back, the fork in Phoebe's left hand disappears and reappears. (00:03:55)
22nd Apr 2004
The One With Phoebe's Wedding - S10-E12
Revealing mistake: At the wedding, none of the snow melts when it has been sitting on people for several minutes. Occasionally when it gets brushed off clothes it just sticks to hands and sleeves, again for several minutes without melting. (00:21:15)
20th Apr 2004
The One Where Emma Cries - S9-E2
Revealing mistake: When Emma starts crying and Rachel picks her up, look at how much the baby is moving when she takes it out of the cot. In the next shot it's suddenly only moving it's head, and very slowly at that. This is because it's a robot - and it's very obvious. (00:06:10)
19th Apr 2004
The One Where The Stripper Cries - S10-E11
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the episode, Ross and Chandler come into Monica's apartment and Ross asks where Rachel is. Watch the objects in Monica's hands, in the shot from behind she puts them on the table, and then does it again in the shot from the front. (00:24:00)
19th Apr 2004
The One With Monica and Chandler's Wedding, Part 1 - S7-E23
Continuity mistake: At the rehearsal dinner when Chandler loosens his tie and unbuttons his collar, the tie changes its appearance in the following shots from being tighter to looser several times. (00:09:30)
18th Apr 2004
The One With The Truth About London - S7-E16
Other mistake: Right at the very end, when Joey is in the fat-suit and picks up a piece of food and says "How you doin'?" he doesn't put it in his mouth, he just lifts it to his lips, stops, and tries to stay still. If this had been a freeze on the part of the director then fair enough, but it isn't as he and particularly Monica are still moving. It just looks rather corny and amateur, as though they are waiting for the "cut" to be called. (00:28:00)
2nd Apr 2004
The One With The Late Thanksgiving - S10-E8
Continuity mistake: When Rachel and Phoebe are talking in the Baby Beauty Contest and Rachel is holding Emma, Emma's head instantly changes position between shots several times, often going through 180 degrees. Clearly they couldn't get her to do the scene in one take and therefore the editing suffers. (00:07:05)
12th Jan 2004
The One With The Dollhouse - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: When Monica and Phoebe are looking at the dollhouse, Monica says "I don't want a ghost for the house." When she says this, the camera is behind Phoebe whose right hand is up in the air. The shot then changes to Phoebe from the front, and her hand has instantly gone to her lap. (00:04:40)
12th Jan 2004
The One With The Tiny T-Shirt - S3-E19
Audio problem: At the start when Joey comes into Monica's apartment and does his little dance number, watch his mouth on his way out; it's totally out of sync with what he is saying. (00:03:15)
7th Jan 2004
The One With The Hypnosis Tape - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: After Mrs Knight sits down with Phoebe's brother in Central Perk, keep an eye on the strap of her handbag. It starts over her shoulder, then moves around and changes position at least half a dozen times. (00:04:40)
6th Jan 2004
The One Where Ross And Rachel Take A Break - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When Monica and Phoebe are eating with the diplomat and his translator, watch the translator's chocolate cake. It either rotates, has some taken out of it, or is a different piece. Whichever way, the cake changes size, shape or position without him ever touching it. (00:18:10)
