The One Where Rachel Finds Out - S1-E24
Corrected entry: In the final episode of the first season, Rachel recalls how Ross considered asking her on a date on her first night in the city. However, the incident actually occurs (in the pilot episode) on her SECOND night in New York.
The One Where Chandler Crosses The Line - S4-E7
Corrected entry: After Cathy gets off the phone with Joey, she puts the phone on the counter. A few shots later, when she starts to leave, the phone is on the receiver. After Cathy and Chandler kiss, the phone is back on the counter.
Correction: Sorry, I've watched this scene very carefully and the phone handset is standing upright on the counter during the whole time.
The One Where Chandler Crosses The Line - S4-E7
Corrected entry: When Ross is playing his keyboard for the gang, he presses a note twice and gets a single note. The next time he presses the keyboard the accompaniment starts automatically. Ross would have had to press a settings button to get the accompaniment to start automatically on a keyboard note press. However, we don't see Ross press any settings buttons.
Correction: The shot switches to the gang at least twice after the single notes and before the accompaniment kicks in. Ross would have had enough time to press a button during these moments.
But if he was always going to play them the same song, why wouldn't the arrangement start straight away instead of just the time when Chandler says 'oh my god play'. He then completely switches keys which also makes no sense.
The One With The Apothecary Table - S6-E11
Corrected entry: The screen that Rachel bought at Pottery Barn moves when Ross, Rachel and Phoebe are talking. Sometimes the clock is covered and at others it is not.
Correction: The screen doesn't move, the camera angle changes from shot to shot which is why the clock is sometimes fully visible and sometimes only partially visible.
The One With Chandler In A Box - S4-E8
Corrected entry: At the end, when everyone is on the balcony watching Chandler and Kathy, Monica sees a guy robbing a purse, and Joey goes to call the police. When he comes back, he has the phone, but he says nothing, even though he came back way too quickly to have made the call.
Corrected entry: When Gary the cop comes looking for Phoebe, he comes to Monica's apartment. He tells her that he found her by looking at her file, which would have her address on it, so why does he come to Monica's apartment?
Corrected entry: Over time, the fooz ball table in Chandler and Joey's apartment has a glass top. In some episodes, there is a glass top and items are set on top of the table, such as mail - or they even eat meals on it. In other episodes, there is no glass top and they reach into the table to retrieve the ball, move the players, etc.
Correction: It is a removable piece of glass/plastic that allows them to use the table as needed, either as a regular table or to play.
Corrected entry: At the beginning of the episode where they are all watching Joey's play, Chandler says that you could always spot someone who has never seen one of Joey's plays. At this time Phoebe is looking inside the leaflet about the play the shot changes to a shot of her and she is looking at the front of leaflet saying the title makes her jump.
The One With The Lesbian Wedding - S2-E11
Corrected entry: In the party after the wedding Rachel's mom comes up to Rachel to talk. Well in one shot Rachel has her drink in her right hand right when her mom starts handing her drink to Rachel. Next shot Rachel has her drink in her left hand and takes her mom's in her right hand even though there's just no time to switch hands between those shots.
Correction: She is holding the glass in her right hand but her left hand is practically touching the glass making it very easy for her to switch hands. Even in slow motion this scene looks OK.
The One With All The Thanksgivings - S5-E8
Corrected entry: In The One With All The Thanksgivings, Monica is cheering up Chandler by putting a turkey on her head. Where did the whole uncooked turkey come from though, considering they had just had their meal? Did Monica just happen to have a large turkey in her freezer? To make matters worse, it is not possible for a human being to put a frozen turkey over his head for that long and not faint.
Correction: This is Monica, two possibilities are that 1) she had a backup turkey for Thanksgiving and 2) it's in the freezer for Christmas, which is only a month away. Lastly, I've never tried but I see no reason why she would faint in the time shown. I suspect the turkey is not airtight.
The One With Rachel's Sister - S6-E13
Corrected entry: When Rachel comes in to spy on Ross through Monica and Chandler's window we hear the shower water running and both Monica and Chandler are in the bathroom. However, Chandler comes out wearing a T-shirt under his robe (and he's wearing socks). This seems to assume that he is dry (as the T-shirt is dry too). Also we can see that Monica is wearing her nightdress under her robe when we see down to her feet, so how could one or both of them have been showering?
Correction: It could have been bathwater running, and they were not yet in the tub.
The One With The Ultimate Fighting Champion - S3-E24
Corrected entry: Phoebe asks Rachel if she can set Ross up with her friend Bonnie, who shaves her head. In Season 1 Phoebe also mentions her friend that shaves her head but refers to her as Abbey.
The One With the Male Nanny - S9-E6
Corrected entry: As Chandler is leaving for Tulsa, he tells Monica to have Geoffrey (who Monica claimed was the funniest person she ever met) email him with funny Oklahoma jokes at www.hahanotsomuch.com. There is a real web page with this name with various quotations from that episode.
Correction: Not any more, I just tried.
The One With The Invitation - S4-E21
Corrected entry: When the gang minus Rachel receives their invitations, Phoebe states that Ross let Ben address hers, and shows the rest of them. We see that the envelope has a full address consisting of four lines. Chandler then enters, and about 10 seconds later we see Phoebe's invitation again, this time only having an address consisting of one line.
Correction: Look carefully at Phoebe all through this scene. We see Phoebe with her invitation, and it has her name and address on. She then takes off this envelope AND PUTS IT IN HER LAP. Inside this envelope is ANOTHER envelope with just her name on. The addressed envelope stays in her lap for the duration of the scene, and when we see the envelope with one line, this is the 2nd envelope.
The One With Chandler's Dad - S7-E22
Corrected entry: When the police officer is giving Rachel a ticket he sees her birthday, says "Aquarius", and she says yes. But in an earlier episode when Gunther is asking for people's birthdays Rachel says her birthday is May 5. To be an Aquarius your birthday has to be between January and February.
Corrected entry: Ross and Rachel both wake up with pen on their faces - the same pen from the episode before which nothing could remove. All well and good, except when they come down to breakfast there's no sign of any pen marks.
Correction: According to Martha Kauffman, Ross and Rachel were able to cover the pen marks with makeup at that point, as it had begun to wear off anyway.
That's just not right, though. The makeup stays on their faces all evening, and it's fully intact when they wake up the next morning. Then they go to breakfast and it's gone. An hour or two wouldn't have made the difference that 12+ hours didn't.
The One Where No One's Ready - S3-E2
Corrected entry: Chandler claims to have hidden Joey's underwear because "he stole my essence." But Chandler didn't go out of the apartment to do this, meaning the only time he could have done it was when he was over there first, and he wouldn't have done because there was no incentive to do so as Joey hadn't taken the cushions off the chair.
The One with the Sonogram at the End - S1-E2
Corrected entry: Ross already told his parents that Carol was a lesbian in Episode 1 "I told mom and dad last night, they seem to have taken it pretty well." But in the 2nd episode Ross tells his parents after dinner at Monica's like it was the first time he told them.
Correction: He told them the first time that they were getting divorced, but not why.
Corrected entry: In the scene where Phoebe finds the police badge, the cup in front of her moves around.
Correction: I've watched this scene very carefully and the cup simply does not move at all. It remains in exactly the same position for the whole scene.
The One Where Everybody Finds Out - S5-E14
Corrected entry: When Monica and Chandler enter Joey's apartment, Joey is sleeping with a toy penguin which he drops on the floor behind him. In the next shot, Hugsy is on the cabinet near the bathroom.
Correction: There is a similar looking cuddly toy on that cabinet but it is definitely not Hugsy. It's clearly a different shape.
Correction: Yes, Rachel made a mistake but the human memory is quite fallible and to remember the wrong day several months later isn't really a mistake in the show, it's a normal human failing.
