Friends

The One With the Male Nanny - S9-E6

Continuity mistake: When Ross storms into the kitchen, exasperated by Sandy, he is immediately followed by Rachel - but she had just been holding Emma, and there wasn't enough time for her to have given Emma to Sandy before storming into the kitchen. (00:25:00)

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)

Pam-I-am

The One With Ross' New Girlfriend - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Paulo comes out of Rachel's bedroom to greet the group, the robe he is wearing is obviously untied and hanging open. After we see how everyone reacted to him being there, we again see Paulo but now the robe is securely tied even though neither he nor Rachel changed positions between shots. (00:11:10)

The One With Joey's Big Break - S5-E22

Other mistake: When Joey and Chandler are in the cab on the bridge, Joey quickly stops the cab so Chandler can get out. However, on the screen behind, the background doesn't 'slow down' as Joey does, it just continues as if the cab is going at the same speed. Then, in the next shot, it is still. When Joey sets off again, the background stays the same and doesn't show that the cab is getting faster. (00:13:05)

The One With Phoebe's Dad - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Monica and Ross walk in carrying a few carrier bags, Monica takes out a pack of green plates, but in the next shot she is holding 4 packs of plates - 2 green, 2 red. She did not have time to pick up another pack between shots. (00:08:05)

The One With Ross's Teeth - S6-E8

Monica: What happened to your teeth?
Ross: I whitened them.
Chandler: Really?
Ross: Yeah, what... What do you think?
Monica: Well, uh, I think I shouldn't look directly at them.
Ross: Come on, seriously.
Monica: Ross, they're really, really, really white!
Chandler: Yeah, what was wrong with your old... Human teeth?
Ross: Well, I did leave the gel on a little longer than it said to.
Monica: How much longer?
Ross: Uh, uh... A day.
Monica: Ross, you know that tonight is your date with Hillary?
Ross: I know! That's why I did it! Come on, are they really that bad?
Chandler: No. No, no, no, you'll be fine. Hilary's blind, right?
Monica: She will be after tonight.

Trivia: The Magna-doodle on the door in the boys apartment has a different picture on it every episode. There is usually some tenuous connection between the picture and the plot of the episode.

The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1

Question: When Ross and Rachel are fighting, Chandler hides behind the door and bursts out saying, "I knew it!" When Rachel says, "It's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!" is this just a Chandler moment or is there another joke I have missed?

Answer: The statements that she's contradicting (that it is common, it happens to every guy, and it's not a big deal), are the things that a woman commonly says to a man who is suffering from erectile difficulty, typically to assuage his bruised ego. However, most men do not believe that these statements are true, as evidenced by Chandler's outburst. He's so caught up in the proof that women are lying about it that he gives himself away.
