The One Where No One's Ready - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe comes out of the bathroom after trying to get out the hummus stain on her dress, the bathroom door is left wide open. But when Monica is playing her message, the door is suddenly almost shut, though no-one had gone near the door.
The One Where Chandler Gets Caught - S10-E10
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe calls Chandler in the car he is not wearing the seat belt. The shot changes and suddenly he is wearing the seat belt. A second later the seat belt is off again.
The One With The Fake Party - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: When Rachel is talking to Joshua near the drinks table at the party, he is holding a blue cup in his left hand and nothing in his right (this is most obvious when she's offering him a cherry). When she begins to choke, he raises his empty right hand to pat her on the back, then when she walks away there is suddenly a bottle in his raised hand. The shot changes, and his hand is again empty and he reaches down to the table and picks up the same bottle. (00:08:30)
The One With The Cheap Wedding Dress - S7-E17
Continuity mistake: In the shot where Joey meets Kristen the lights in the store window behind them are switched on. On the DVD at 05:19, you can see that the "CD" light is illuminated in blue. However, at 05:36 where they both shake hands, all the lights are switched off. (00:05:15)
The One With The Secret Closet - S8-E14
Continuity mistake: When Chandler mentions how long Alexandra has been massaging Monica, he is holding a bowl,and he walks away with it. But when Monica says to Phoebe, "you can understand why this would be weird for me", the bowl is on the table. (00:05:20 - 00:06:00)
The One With The Tiny T-Shirt - S3-E19
Continuity mistake: When Monica says, "I just recently got out of a serious relationship," she is holding her glass in her left hand. The camera cuts to Pete and the glass is now in her right hand. It then switches back to her left hand in the next wide shot.
The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies - S2-E18
Visible crew/equipment: When Chandler and Eddie are sitting in their apartment getting to know each other, there is a visible microphone in the right upper corner. (00:03:45)
The One Where Ross Got High - S6-E9
Plot hole: Monica is trusting Rachel to make a traditional English trifle and being a top chef (or an even averagely intelligent human being) she would know what ingredients are used in one. So there's no way she could have missed Rachel cooking beef with peas and onions during the cooking process. Rachel's cooking it right there in Monica's kitchen while everyone else is there!
The One With Ross's Wedding, part 1 - S4-E23
Visible crew/equipment: When Rachel opens the door to the apartment while she's holding flowers and sees Phoebe trying to get up from the couch (before the wedgie comment), the open edge of the set wall can be seen at the top left corner of the screen.
The One In Massapequa - S8-E18
Audio problem: When Monica is preparing her speech, she stands up to show Chandler her note card, but when you can hear her say "Hey, check this out," her lips don't move. (00:02:20)
The One Where Everybody Finds Out - S5-E14
Factual error: Phoebe holds up a bag of quarters that is almost the size of her head. This would be physically impossible for anyone except perhaps the world's strongest weight-lifters. Quarters are exceptionally heavy for their size. Two rolls weigh exactly a pound. It would take at least 300-400 rolls worth of quarters to fill up the bag Phoebe is holding, which means she is lifting 150-200+ pounds, primarily with one arm. (00:08:40)
The One With Joey's Big Break - S5-E22
Factual error: In the scene where Joey is supposedly in the Nevada desert, Saquaro cacti are seen in the background indicating that the scene was shot in Arizona or Mexico.
The One With The Giant Poking Device - S3-E8
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Chandler confronts Janice about Joey seeing her kissing her ex-husband, Janice begins to hyperventilate. However, right before Chandler gives her the paper bag, Janice spins around and places the receipt in her mouth. Conveniently, after she begins breathing into the bag, she "chokes" on a receipt. (00:10:07)
The One With The Triplets - S5-E3
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene with Joey filming Phoebe and Phoebe saying, "Please don't hurt me," Joey zooms out and you can see the camera that is just about to film them. (00:00:35)
The One With The Ball - S5-E21
Continuity mistake: When Rachel mentions the cat's name, Ross has the ball. The camera does an instant cut, and Joey now has the ball. Ross did not throw the ball, as you hear the ball being caught every other time. (00:04:50)
The One Where Ross Dates a Student - S6-E18
Continuity mistake: In the dinner scene between Chandler and the girl from college, the spoon in front of Chandler moves without him touching it. (00:13:45)
The One With Five Steaks and an Eggplant - S2-E5
Visible crew/equipment: In the part where Ross is on the phone with Julie he says "Say hi to Julie in New Mexico." When everyone is shouting "Hi Julie" look above their heads and you will see a boom mic dip into the shot. (00:03:10)
The One In Barbados, part 1 - S9-E23
Plot hole: This is actually for both parts of "The One in Barbados": it's shown that Monica's hair gets all frizzy from the humidity. And yet she's shown all throughout with her hair out and loose in all its frizzy glory, though it bugs her. I could maybe buy that not one of the women have hair gel with her (not bloody likely.) or that the fancy hotel doesn't sell hair gel (possible). But resourceful Monica would have thought of something to calm down her hair, or she would have just tied it up in a ponytail or bun - she does care a lot about her appearance. It makes no sense other than for comic value. (00:09:30)
The One Where the Monkey Gets Away - S1-E19
Continuity mistake: When Rachel asks Marcel 'did you poo in the shoe?' Marcel is leaning on Rachel's arm. In the next shot he has vanished. (00:06:10)
The One with the Blackout - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: At the start of the scene where the group disclose the weirdest place they've had sex is, Monica has her hands together on her lap. In the next shot, they are underneath her legs. (00:05:30)





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.
