Factual error: In season 4 generally, Phoebe has the shortest pregnancy ever. She gets pregnant as the boys win the girls' apartment. In the next episode Ross meets Emily, after 6 weeks he gets engaged to Emily and they then choose to get married 4 weeks later. Phoebe would only be 10-12 weeks pregnant by the time they fly to London, not in her third trimester.
Revealing mistake: Before Phoebe agrees to carry Frank and Alice's' triplets, she already has a baby bump.
The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: Phoebe and her mother are in her mother's house at the beach. Phoebe has just found out that Phoebe senior is her real mother. Have a look at Phoebe's mother in this episode and the last episode of series 3 (The One At The Beach). Her hair is a lot shorter in series 4 even though no time has passed in the storyline. (00:03:35)
The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1
Audio problem: When Phoebe is knocking on her sister Ursula's door to tell her about finding her birth mom, the third knock is heard a split second before you see Phoebe's hand action. (00:12:15)
The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: When Chandler, Joey and Monica tell their story of the jellyfish bite Chandler says sometimes at night he still hears Joey's voice screaming "Do it ! Do it!". Joey says he yells it through the wall at night to freak Chandler out, but no nights have passed. They tell the story the same day the jellyfish bite occurred. Notice Rachel, Ross and Phoebe are wearing the same clothes they had before they left the beach house. (00:16:20)
The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1
Visible crew/equipment: When Ross storms out of the room and the rest of the friends are in the kitchen, you can see the stage lights at the top of the screen. (00:20:15)
The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1
Other mistake: When Chandler and Monica are sitting at the table after playing Gin, Chandler's bottle of Yoo-hoo is on the table, but the label reads "Yooh" because the brand name has been partially covered - the blue letters "oo" are yellow to match the background.
The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: When Monica gets stung by the jellyfish they are standing on a part of the beach that is wet and close to the surf but when she is saying "damn the jellyfish" the part they are standing on is dry and further from the water.
The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: In the last few seconds of season 3, Ross closes the door immediately after he steps through it. However, in the opening seconds of season 4, we see this same event from the other side of the door. This time however, Ross doesn't close the door for at least 15-20 seconds after entering the room.
The One With The 'Cuffs - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: Joey's encounter with the encyclopedia salesman is riddled with errors. First, when the salesman is talking about Van Gogh and saying "He painted that," he points to a page that is all text; later, Joey is reading about vomit, and it is at a pont much further on in the book than when the salesman read about vulcanized rubber (which it shouldn't be, given the encyclopedia is alphabetized); finally, when Joey buys the "V" volume, as he opens it he has a $50 bill in his hand, and when the shot changes to show the salesman he is somehow folding and pocketing it without having taken it from Joey. (00:13:00)
The One With The 'Cuffs - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: In Joanna's office, Chandler and Rachel are pulling his pants from one another while he is cuffed to the filing cabinet. Right before Rachel says "What if I clean your bathroom for a month?" she throws the pants onto a chair, but then when Chandler later says "Freedom. I want my freedom. Why won't you hear me?" he opens the door to yell to Sophie and they are both holding the pants again. (00:15:10)
The One With The 'Cuffs - S4-E3
Visible crew/equipment: While Joey's scraping gum from underneath the table there's a knock at the door, and when he gets up to head to the door the end of the set wall can be seen at the right side of the screen.
The One With The 'Cuffs - S4-E3
Visible crew/equipment: At the end, when Rachel walks into Joanna's office to find her handcuffed to the chair, the camera can be seen in front of the filing cabinet, at the right side of the screen.
The One With The 'Cuffs - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: The handcuffs that Joanna uses on Chandler have a single metal bar connected via pivot to a double bar with the lock area. When Joanna first cuffs Chandler, the double bars on both sides face up at his wrists, but when Chandler's on the phone and when Rachel unlocks his right cuff, the handcuffs are going round his wrist the opposite way with the single bars facing up - quite impossible. Then the same thing occurs when Rachel handcuffs Chandler to the filing cabinet.
The One With The 'Cuffs - S4-E3
Continuity mistake: Rachel is telling Chandler to break off his relationship with Joanna, who had walked through the room and went into Chandler's bedroom, shutting the door. By the end of the conversation between Chandler and Rachel, the door is open but no one has entered or left the room.
The One With The Ballroom Dancing - S4-E4
Other mistake: In the scene where Rachel is going to take out the trash, Monica tells her the garbage room is the 3rd door on the left. However, when Rachel comes back with the pizza box and Monica leaves for the garbage room, she leaves the apartment and walks towards the right - there are no doors that way, just the stairs. (00:00:50)
The One With The Ballroom Dancing - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: In the Central Perk scene when Joey is telling Monica and Rachel about the dancing, Monica's legs are crossed left over right and then right over left, and back again. (00:10:55)
The One With The Ballroom Dancing - S4-E4
Other mistake: Right at the end of the episode, Phoebe's got a job interview. We see the outside of a massage parlour, but the name on the awning has been superimposed - it moves about a bit while the shot itself is still. (00:20:45)
The One With The Ballroom Dancing - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: While Treeger chews out Rachel for not properly disposing the pizza box in the trash chute, the room's door is closed, then wide open, and then closed again.
The One With The Ballroom Dancing - S4-E4
Revealing mistake: During the end bit, before we get to see Phoebe when she is being interviewed at Lara and Jeni's Massage, if you look closely at the name of the massage parlor, you'll see that, although the camera shakes and bumps, the words stay on the very same spot on the screen. Obviously the canopy was blank and the name was digitally added later.
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.
