Friends

Correction: Chandler has made very clear that he doesn't care about his job and since none of his friends know or care what he does, why would he worry about getting this right?

tw_stuart

Correction: It would make perfect sense for Louis Vuitton to give their new employee, who is moving accross the ocean to work for them, a full set of luggage.

Correction: If you look closely at the wrapper in her hand once she has finished, you can see that the remainder of the taffy has been wrapped in it.

Correction: Ross has been married twice (not counting the druken Vegas wedding). Rachel has never been married. She never made it to the alter with Barry and was too drunk in Vegas to remember anything. She wants something memorable.

Show generally

Corrected entry: There's an impossibility with the view out of the guys' apartment. Take a look at the hallway set: On the left there's the door to their apartment, then a wall, then the stairwell, which runs on the other side of the guys' kitchen/bathroom/living room. Yet when you go inside and see that same wall, it's got windows that show a direct view of outside. Those windows could only show a view of the stairwell.

Correction: The space betwen the stairs and the window is fully valid. Note a few things. These stairs go back and forth, as in they are not one continuous flight. Second, the floors are close together enough that there would be few steps. This allows more then enough room for a window, hence making the view entirely possible.

The One With Joey's New Brain - S7-E15

Corrected entry: If the actress who plays Jessica Lockhart on "Days of our Lives" has been playing this part for 20 years as she tells Joey in this episode, would she not know him from when he had the part as Dr. Drake Ramoray on the same show during season 2?

Correction: Not necessarily. Not if their respective characters never interacted, as is very possible.

Phixius

Correction: It is possible that one baby was behind the other and couldn't be seen by the sonogram, this happens very commonly.

JCT05

Correction: Virgin Atlantic uses 2-4-2 in Premium Economy, so 3-4-3 is not a rule, although it's the most common in economy on a 747. Surely the set is not an exact copy of a real plane, but the seating configuration is ok.

The One With The Lottery - S9-E18

Corrected entry: When Ross decides he wants in on the lottery, where do his tickets come from? They don't go out to the shop to buy some. It could be argued that he bought some when Phoebe lost the tickets over the balcony, but I think he'd be more pre-occupied on finding the ones that were already lost.

Correction: They just share with him the ones that have already purchased.

Cybermoose

Correction: Ever gotten a "shock" while drunk? Often times it causes you to suddenly sober up for a few minutes while you process it.

CocoCami

Correction: Character mistake, it is easy to be a year off when you quickly have to have to judge the time frame.

Cybermoose

Correction: Yes, you're supposed to switch mobile phones off, but it's entirely possible to forget.

Ronnie Bischof

Correction: It's a mass-produced stuffed animal. Of course it shows up elsewhere in the world.

CocoCami

Correction: When the water breaks, it doesn't necessarily have to be a big "splash". There can be just a few drops or a light stream, not enough to make the clothes wet, but still enough for the woman to feel it.

Correction: It is entirely possible to speak with a cigarette in your mouth. And when you do, you don't move your lips much. There is nothing wrong with Chandler speaking his line like this.

Twotall

Correction: He doesn't slap Chandler because he doesn't know that women talk, he slaps Chandler because he knows this and still told Janice where he got the hug-and-roll thing from.

The One With Joey's Bag - S5-E13

Corrected entry: When Phoebe is talking to her dad in the coffee house, she asks Frank Sr. about his marriage to Lily and their two children. But Phoebe has already found out that Lily isn't her real mother because she lives in Montauk. Frank Sr. would surely know that Lily wasn't there real mother if indeed she wasn't.

Correction: Phoebe's real mother left her children when they were born, in Phoebe's eyes Lily is her real mother. And Frank doesn't known that Phoebe found out about her birth mother, the easiest way for Phoebe to get information from him is to go along with the story she's been told from birth.

He doesn't know that this is Phoebe yet so he would probably correct her.

Correction: It is likely that whatever airline that was that listed the price, lists it as Fort Worth, and not Dallas-Fort Worth. (I have seen airlines do this)

Correction: Monica never says that she has an allergy to cats. It's more likely that she sneezed because of the cat dander but doesn't have an allergy.

Correction: By bouncing off something.

The One With The Dirty Girl - S4-E6

Question: When Joey asks why he can't give Kathy the pen, Chandler says, "Because she's not eleven. And it's not the seventh night of Chanukah." What is Chandler talking about when he says, "It's not the seventh night of Chanukah?"

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.

Answer: Chanukah is a Jewish celebration that occurs around the same time as the Christian Christmas. The celebration lasts for eight days and it is customary to give a small gift on each of the eight days. There is no special gift required and the line about it being "the seventh night" of Chanukah is just Chandler's sarcasm.
