Correction: It could be a Vegi burger. We have no way of knowing.

Ssiscool

Correction: That's a mistake made by the British subtitlers, not by the producers of the show.

Correction: That is Phoebe talking on the phone.

Correction: No, she doesn't deny that they were technically "on a break", she just doesn't feel that makes it any more acceptable for Ross to have gone off and slept with someone else whilst they were still trying to work things out.

The One With The Football - S3-E9

Corrected entry: When Monica and Ross are discussing why they are not allowed to play football, Monica states in the story that they were both 6. This would imply they are either twins or at least the same age. However, we see that Ross is in fact older than Monica. Also, later in the scene Monica and Ross say the football incident occurred 12 years ago. This would mean that they are both currently 18 years old which is false. In one episode earlier in the season Monica states that she is 28 years old. (00:02:20 - 00:04:10)

Correction: She doesn't say they were both six, she says the event happened in "Gellerbowl 6", ie. the 6th year of the "Gellerbowl".

Correction: You can see Ross putting his arm around Monica's.

The One With The Hypnosis Tape - S3-E18

Corrected entry: When Monica shows Chandler the check from Pete, Chandler says, "Pete Becker, Pete," and he grabs a magazine from his briefcase, but before this Chandler told the girls that he hasn't been able to unlock the briefcase and he just carries it around, so how would Chandler have gotten it out?

Correction: Chandler pulls the magazine from a pocket on the side of the briefcase.

Correction: There is a fairly long shot of Monica between the actions. So she could pick it up in that time.

Ssiscool

Correction: When Rachel and Mark are talking, Monica picks up a pitcher of water and you can see her reach for Rachel's glass. So, she is refilling it, that's why it's not there for a while.

Correction: At the time this show aired, caller ID wasn't as wide spread as it is now, however even if they did have caller ID most pay phones come up blocked or private anyway. Even if they did have the number it won't give them the exact location - they aren't the police, so they just can't put a trace on a phone call.

JCT05

Correction: It is entirely possible to speak with a cigarette in your mouth. And when you do, you don't move your lips much. There is nothing wrong with Chandler speaking his line like this.

Twotall

Correction: He doesn't slap Chandler because he doesn't know that women talk, he slaps Chandler because he knows this and still told Janice where he got the hug-and-roll thing from.

Correction: Character error. And quite in keeping with Joey's character.

The One Without The Ski Trip - S3-E17

Corrected entry: When the five of them are at the rest stop, Joey manages to get the cab door open. When Phoebe starts to reverse the car, you can tell the cab hasn't broke down as you can see the brake lights come on. No lights were on when the cab started moving. (00:11:10)

Correction: The car has run out of petrol but still has electrical power so the brake lights will operate. Phoebe starts the car and when it stops she put her foot on the brake. I don't see any mistake.

The One With The Ultimate Fighting Champion - S3-E24

Corrected entry: Near the end when Chandler is in a meeting, Stevens comes back later because he forgot his suitcase. If you look carefully, he picks up his suitcase and then puts it back down on the table on purpose. Also, when he leaves the room, you can see him turn around and hide out of shot waiting for his cue to come back in. (00:20:15)

Correction: Stevens is making an excuse to come back in because he wants the boss to spank him. All his actions are deliberate.

Correction: No magic. If you watch Chandler after he changed and loses the chair to Joey, you'll notice he's not fully dressed. In the rest of the scene (when Monica is playing the message) you can see him buttoning his vest and holding his bowtie.

Correction: This scene does not pick up right where it left off, they are now all in the kitchen when they were in the living room before. Also if you watch carefully right when the scene begins you can see Chandler finish tying his bowtie, thus explaining why he has his tie on now and not before.

The One With Phoebe's Ex-Partner - S3-E14

Corrected entry: How is it possible for Phoebe's ex-partner to use the Smelly Cat song for a kitty litter jingle when a record company made Smelly Cat into a song/video in the Second Season's TOW Eddie Moves In? Surely there was a contract involved between Phoebe and the record company granting the record company the rights?

Correction: Phoebe never signed the contract, and the record was never released because she felt it was unfair to have the girl singing it and not being in the video. Without the contract, Phoebe still has full rights to Smelly Cat, which she would have been able to sign over to Leslie.

Correction: This is Phoebe, it is easily possible that she has two friends that shave their heads. Phoebe's friends are not exactly normal.

The One Where No One's Ready - S3-E2

Corrected entry: Chandler claims to have hidden Joey's underwear because "he stole my essence." But Chandler didn't go out of the apartment to do this, meaning the only time he could have done it was when he was over there first, and he wouldn't have done because there was no incentive to do so as Joey hadn't taken the cushions off the chair.

David Mercier

Correction: It is obvious that Chandler was saying the first thing that came in his head, not the actual reason why he took Joey's underwear. He even hesitates when Ross asks him.

Chandler: Well, I had an appointment to get my hair cut...

The One With The Dirty Girl - S4-E6

Question: When Joey asks why he can't give Kathy the pen, Chandler says, "Because she's not eleven. And it's not the seventh night of Chanukah." What is Chandler talking about when he says, "It's not the seventh night of Chanukah?"

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.

Answer: Chanukah is a Jewish celebration that occurs around the same time as the Christian Christmas. The celebration lasts for eight days and it is customary to give a small gift on each of the eight days. There is no special gift required and the line about it being "the seventh night" of Chanukah is just Chandler's sarcasm.
