The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Character mistake: After the guys have beaten the girls in the quiz, Rachel refuses to move apartments and Monica says: "If we had lost, we would have made them get rid of the birds." But they did lose. That's why the guys have got their apartment. She should have said if we had won.
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: At the end, when Monica asks about the garbage bags the apartment's front door is closed, but when Rachel opens the drawer and freaks out about what's inside, the front door is wide open (for the camera) as she kicks the drawer shut, and then the door is closed again. (Widescreen).
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: When the friends are talking about the contest to prove who knows each other better, Monica says to Joey "Are you scared?" and Rachel has her arms crossed. Joey says "No" and in the next shot of Rachel she is crossing them again. (00:05:00)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Visible crew/equipment: When Rachel crosses the boys' apartment to see what is in the drawer, if you look up to the right, you can see a glimpse of a boom mic. (00:20:25)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: When Ross takes a bite of the cookies, he says they are not good, and puts it back in the box; in the next wide shot he is seen putting it back in the box again. (00:03:15)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: In the last scene, Chandler is sitting on the couch in the new apartment, and the rooster is sitting on the back of the couch, with his tail facing the window. When Joey comes running out, the shot of the rooster shows his face toward the window, and then in the next shot he has returned to his tail facing the window. (00:20:45)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Visible crew/equipment: When Rachel is protesting that she loves her apartment, look very carefully towards the top of the screen on the long shot of Monica and Rachel before it zooms in and you will see the shadow of a microphone move swiftly across the wall. (00:17:40)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Audio problem: When Rachel is banging on the door at the start, the sound does not match the actions. (00:01:00)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Other mistake: Ross makes up the questions for the quiz. There are two groups of questions, one for the girls and one for the boys. Each one has four categories; there are four questions in each category. From these 16 questions, Ross asks ten. Thus, there have to be six left after the quiz. But in one group, seven questions can be seen (there are seven cards left). (00:12:50)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Character mistake: Both lightning rounds at the end of the quiz are significantly longer than the 30 seconds that Ross claims they are. (Even though he is supposedly using a stopwatch to time them.) The guys' lightning round is actually 43 seconds long, and the girls' lightning round is 45 seconds long. (00:14:20)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Character mistake: When they are about to start the game, Ross declares that "the first team to answer the most questions wins." This is a nonsensical statement. By that logic, the first team to answer a question correctly would be the winner. It should be either the team that has correctly answered the most questions at the end of the game wins, or the first team to correctly answer an X number of questions.
Suggested correction: While it's a weird way for him to say it, he starts by saying "each team will answer ten questions", so no, the first team to answer a question wouldn't win.
Yes, he qualified that it was a 10-question game, and we as the audience understand going in how the winner is decided. It's just the way he declared how the winner would be decided didn't make sense. It would be like watching an NBA game, and before tipoff, the crew chief tells both teams that the first team to score the most baskets wins. We know what the rules of an NBA game are, but the referee makes a nonsensical statement all the same.
Except there's so many variations of how a team can win a game; best 3 out of 5, win by 2, or a game can even end in a tie. Since this isn't a professional sport where all the players know how a game ends, Ross is basically saying after 10 rounds, if there is a tie, it will go to sudden death with the team with the first correct answer winning, just not in so many words.
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Other mistake: Phoebe takes a positive pregnancy test right after she gets implanted with the embryos. There's no test in the world that can tell that fast if someone is pregnant - even the best tests take at least a week after conception.
Suggested correction: Phoebe explains before she takes the first pregnancy test that her body's "always been a little faster than Western medicine". It's a deliberate joke.
A deliberate joke it may be, but we all know Phoebe believes a lot of silly things, and this is one of them. It really didn't make sense for her to get a positive result that fast.
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Visible crew/equipment: In the shot where Monica suggests that Ross creates the questions, there is a red boom mic followed by a blue boom mic at the top center of the screen. (00:05:15)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Visible crew/equipment: Near the beginning of the show when Joey asks them who's going to ask the questions a boom mic is visible over Monica's head. (00:05:05)
The One With The Embryos - S4-E12
Continuity mistake: The part in Chandler's hair switches from left to right throughout the episode.
