The One With The Fake Party - S4-E16
Continuity mistake: When Rachel is in her bedroom dressed as a cheerleader with Joshua, the sleeve of her sweater on her right arm keeps moving up and down. (00:15:00)
The One After Joey And Rachel Kiss - S10-E1
Continuity mistake: At the end of this episode, Ross enters the door of Joey's apartment and finds Rachel and Joey kissing. Rachel says "I'm so sorry". The next episode, The One When Ross Is Fine, shows the same scene but it has been changed: Rachel never says "I'm so sorry". Joey starts talking when Ross enters the room.
The One With The Bullies - S2-E21
Continuity mistake: When the bullies are about to fight with Chandler and Ross, they decide to put all watches and keys into a hat. He takes the hat off and places it down and everyone puts the watches and keys in. The shot changes to a further out view and the bully has a different hat on his head while another hat is still placed where he put it. When there is a closer view of him, there is once again no hat on his head. (00:19:30)
The One In Massapequa - S8-E18
Continuity mistake: In The One In Massapequa, Jack Gellar is eating food off a stick. When he finishes he holds the stick while Rachel asks Jack if he has any pearls of wisdom. We can see the stick over Judy's shoulder. In the next shot the stick is gone from his hand, then we see Judy put it down on a table, then it reappears in his hand, before disappearing for good. (00:05:05)
The One With Rachel's Crush - S4-E13
Continuity mistake: At the start of this episode when Rachel comes in, you can see a bit of wooden floor by the door (carpet's visible in other shots). However, Monica doesn't pull up the carpet until later in the episode, after the apartment's tidier. (00:02:10)
The One With Ross's Grant - S10-E6
Visible crew/equipment: When Dr.Hobart enters the meeting room to conduct the grant interviews, markers can be seen on the floor around the first chair's wheels as well as in front of the table. (00:12:25)
The One With The Worst Best Man Ever - S4-E22
Other mistake: Given her vegetarianism, and her disdain for fur in another episode, there's no way Phoebe would have wanted a pair of leather pants.
Suggested correction: It's your opinion that Phoebe wouldn't have wanted leather pants, but that's not true of all vegetarians. Natalie Merchant was known for saying she was a vegetarian but still wore leather shoes. I was a vegetarian who would never have worn fur and still wore leather shoes.
The One With Rachel's Other Sister - S9-E8
Character mistake: While watching the parade near the beginning, Chandler gets excited because there's a band from Muskogee, OK, which is supposedly only four hours from Tulsa, where he works. It's actually less than an hour away from Tulsa.
Factual error: The makeup on Rachel's face "can't be covered up with makeup," and "won't come off," we learn in The One In Vegas, Part 2. So it's not a surprise that she still wakes up with it on (and so does Ross.) but an hour or so later, when she's at breakfast, it's not there. An hour or two won't make the magical difference that 8+ hours didn't.
The One Where Joey Dates Rachel - S8-E12
Factual error: When Chandler is explaining that he played Ms. Pac Man all day, the Ms. Pac Man machine is unplugged, and then plugged back in. Immediately upon being plugged back in, we hear the Ms. Pac Man theme song being played. No version of a Ms. Pac Man stand-up arcade ever played the theme song upon powering on. Instead, it would silently go into "demo mode." The only way the stand-up arcade version of Ms. Pac Man would ever play its theme song was after two events occurred in order: 1. A coin was dropped in the slot (or a button was pressed on the inside of the unlocked coin drawer), and then 2. Someone pressed the '1 player' or '2 players' button to start the game. It is clear that neither of these things has happened in the scene by the time the music starts playing. (00:11:50)
The One With The Home Study - S10-E7
Other mistake: In the opening scene Chandler smiles at Ross' joke while playing with the ball in his hands. Later on in the scene Ross cracks another joke and the exact same scene of Chandler smiling and fiddling with the ball is repeated. (00:00:40 - 00:01:10)
The One With The Stain - S8-E7
Continuity mistake: When Monica asks Brenda to clean the top of the cabinets so that she can get a look at her crotch, Brenda drags a chair over (with both hands) to stand on. In the next shot, she is magically holding a feather duster. (00:11:40)
Other mistake: When Joey announces that he has a job in the new Al Pacino movie, Ross is holding a bottle of peach Snapple with part of its brand name whited out, so it reads "S pple" on the label. (00:13:50)
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 Rachel's Going Away Party - S10-E16
Plot hole: In this episode Chandler finds furry black handcuffs, and everybody says that they have never seen them before. How is that possible considering all the people that have moved in and out of that room? How come nobody noticed them when the room and closet were painted green after being pink?
The One With Ross' New Girlfriend - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Chandler has just got back from seeing Joey's 'bad' tailor, Joey says, "That's how they do pants". Chandler turns to look at him twice. (00:17:30)
The One With The Giant Poking Device - S3-E8
Revealing mistake: When Monica and Rachel are banging their heads on the wood, it is clear that they aren't hitting them hard enough to result in the winces that are apparent. (00:09:00)
The One With The Princess Leia Fantasy - S3-E1
Plot hole: In the beginning the Friends enter Central Perk and see that there are some other people on their couch. Monica looks fine and happy - even though later in the episode the other Friends say that she's been depressed for some days now, and she doesn't leave her apartment.
The One With All The Resolutions - S5-E11
Character mistake: In one of the scenes where Phoebe is teaching Joey guitar, she asks him to demonstrate the "Iceberg" chord. To refresh his memory, Joey refers to the chord as "G Sharp." In reality, the only way to play a G Sharp chord is with a barre chord, and as such the fingering is not exclusive to it.
The One With the Pediatrician - S9-E3
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Phoebe asks Mike to prove that he plays piano, his arm goes from resting on the couch to on his lap from one shot to the next. After Phoebe tells him "You are really good," his left arm is resting on the couch. But in the next shot when Phoebe continues talking, his arm is resting on his lap.
