The One With The Flashback - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Ross and Phoebe are in the bar and get on the pool table to start kissing, Ross moves the pool balls out of the way, but two remain. As Phoebe lies down, the 9 ball is next to her left shoulder. The shot cuts closer and it is the 13 ball, then cuts back and it's the 9 ball again. (00:19:40)

Continuity mistake: Phoebe and Ross are in the soon to be closed bar sitting on the pool table. He clears it of everything, but a few seconds later he stops making out because the "damn balls are in the way" and somehow magics up a handful of snooker balls. If you look closely when he's clearing the table, there are two dark balls at the side which he studiously ignores, and which Lisa Kudrow then surreptitiously grabs and takes onto the table with her so David Schwimmer can grab them later.

Continuity mistake: When Ross is talking to Phoebe and puts shot glasses on the bar, they're in groups. In the long shot, they're in a straight line then in a closer shot they're in groups again. (00:17:20)

Continuity mistake: When Chandler drops the cue ball by Rachel and her friends, the pool cue on the pool table is straight. When he speaks to her, it is suddenly at a 45-degree angle. The chalk cube and blue box also change position.
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.
