29 corrected entries in season 7

Correction: Nope, you're mistaken. When we see Rachel at the apartment before she and Joey leave, she's not actually dressed yet. She walks out of her bedroom wearing her white robe, gold choker necklace, and blue flip-flops, while holding her makeup bag. Later we see Rachel at the Soapie Awards wearing the red spaghetti strap gown and she's still wearing it when she and Joey get home. Though I have to say, it's very complimentary to the actress that she even looks that great in just a robe.

Super Grover

Correction: This is actually a gag that's explained in the longer version of the episode - Ross points out the incorrect name, and Chandler realises he's in the wrong office.

The One With The Cheap Wedding Dress - S7-E17

Corrected entry: Megan tells Monica that she booked the Swing Kings the day of Monica and Chandler's wedding and that she can only have them back if Monica gives her the cheap wedding dress that they both want. But in reality, a professional wedding band would never book a night for a client without receiving a deposit first. It just isn't feasible that Megan would put down a deposit for a band she had no intention of actually using (her wedding wasn't even that same day), especially given that she was looking to cut costs, hence shopping for a cheaper designer dress. There's also the fact that by the end of the episode Monica's booked the Swing Kings but is still in possession of the wedding dress - she could tell Megan to get bent and just keep the dress and the band!

Correction: There is also the chance that she (Megan) is just saying that to Monica to try and get her own way. If I recall, nothing is shown or stated to confirm that Megan did actually book it.

Ssiscool

Correction: So Joey has two of "Marvin the Martian" - one is full body and one is the big head. The fact that in some episodes it's the full body lying on the couch and in some episodes it's the head, doesn't make a mistake, however, if they were to switch between shots during a scene in an episode, that would be a continuity mistake.

Super Grover

Correction: We don't know how much time has passed. Joey might have stepped out for whatever reason.

Correction: Why would she? It would be perfectly natural for Rachel to laugh but try to hide it in that situation. I see no mistake.

Correction: I just watched this scene and I'm not sure how anyone could possibly think it is Ross' voice dubbed over. It is Joey's voice.

THGhost

The One With The Nap Partners - S7-E6

Corrected entry: When Ross and Joey are auditioning for Monica's maid of honour, Rachel says she met Monica when they were 6 and she met Chandler when he was 25, but in other episodes it shows that they had been to thanksgiving dinners together when Chandler was in college with Ross. In another episode it also shows Chandler and Rachel making out at a party, so she had met him plenty of times before he was 25.

Correction: Rachel actually says 'became friends with Chandler when he was 25'. Before then they wouldn't have been friends, he was just her friend's brother's friend that she met a couple of times.

Correction: People generally have two grandmothers. Just because her father ran off, doesn't mean that his mother abandoned her grandchildren so readily.

Jeff Swanson

The One With The Engagement Picture - S7-E5

Corrected entry: During the scene where Rachel gets Tag's scarf out of his backpack and smells it, a coworker walks up. Rachel puts on the backpack to disguise what she was doing. The camera cuts away a few times and the final time she does not have the backpack on anymore.

Correction: If you watch carefully you see it all the time. Since she is wearing a black coat it's sometimes difficult to see, but the backpack is there and in the last scene she takes it off.

Anastasios Anastasatos

The One With Monica's Thunder - S7-E1

Corrected entry: From the start of Series 7 (and for the next 2 series' at least) does anyone else notice the change in Matthew Perry's voice? I've searched to see if anyone else has mentioned it and as far as I can tell, no one has, but to me it's very obvious. I'm not sure I can explain it too well, but there's just something in his voice that changed (the tone of it and overall sound); it sounds like a different person talking.

Correction: Matthew Perry stopped smoking during the run of the series. He apparently was a very heavy smoker. This most likely accounts for the change in his voice. In any case, this isn't a 'mistake' in the first place.

Brenda Elzin

Correction: Character decision, not a mistake.

Twotall

Correction: This has already been submitted and corrected. The cop could easily have got it wrong, and Rachel is hardly going to correct him, since she's trying to flirt her way out of a speeding ticket.

The One With Joey's New Brain - S7-E15

Corrected entry: If the actress who plays Jessica Lockhart on "Days of our Lives" has been playing this part for 20 years as she tells Joey in this episode, would she not know him from when he had the part as Dr. Drake Ramoray on the same show during season 2?

Correction: Not necessarily. Not if their respective characters never interacted, as is very possible.

Phixius

Correction: No, it is not. 1. The naughty word you're referring to is spelled with a "u", not an "o", and the pronounciation becomes VERY different when you change this in Norwegian. Most Norwegians when reading "knoller" would pronounce it with an "å"-sound, changing the meaning to "hills" or "roots". 2. Even if this entry had been true, it is a small coincidence and not really trivia.

Twotall

Correction: We very clearly see Phoebe place the blue cup on the coffee table in front of her.

tw_stuart

Correction: We only see her take the chair from the car, we don't see where she puts it and she is out of shot for easily long enough to have moved it.

tw_stuart

Correction: Joey did tell Ross that he forgot 10 states and Joey did have 55 at this point, but Joey did write 56 states at the beginning, because he thinks there are 56 states just that he got one wrong.

The One With Chandler's Dad - S7-E22

Corrected entry: When the police officer is giving Rachel a ticket he sees her birthday, says "Aquarius", and she says yes. But in an earlier episode when Gunther is asking for people's birthdays Rachel says her birthday is May 5. To be an Aquarius your birthday has to be between January and February.

Correction: Rachel is trying to get out of paying a ticket, she isn't going to tell the officer he is wrong.

tw_stuart

Correction: The cap is behind the bottle so we cannot see it from the side. When we see the table from Joey's viewpoint, it's visible.

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.
