The One In Barbados, part 2 - S9-E24

Other mistake: The layout of the hotel surrounding the main cast's rooms as displayed during the sequence where Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe eavesdrop on Ross, Charlie, Rachael, and Joey is physically impossible. Ross enters the room Monica, Chandler, and Phoebe are in through the same wall they are using to listen in on Charlie and him, though while the camera is in Ross and Charlie's room, no door can be seen in that wall. Furthermore, a hallway can be seen through the doorway while Ross holds the door open, implying that the two rooms do not share a wall in the first place.

The One With The Girl From Poughkeepsie - S4-E10

Factual error: Ross falls asleep on the train and ends up in Montreal, where the woman he meets tells him "it's only a 2-hour ferry ride to Nova Scotia." Yeah, more like a journey of between 13 hours (12-hour car ride plus 1-hour ferry) and 23 hours (multiple bus legs plus 1-hour ferry.) The character could have been lying to Ross, but it's not presented that way at all.

Suggested correction: It's presented as sarcasm. Not a mistake.

Not clear on where you got that it's presented as sarcasm; nothing in her delivery says so.

The One With Monica's Thunder - S7-E1

Audio problem: When Joey walks out of the bedroom dressed as a 19 year old, when Chandler says the line "Yes, on a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the dumbest a person can look, you are definitely 19", you can see that the audio doesn't match the words. It looks as though Matthew Perry says "not 19" and they had to re-dub over post production with "19." Subtle, but it's there. (00:08:50)

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

Visible crew/equipment: After Rachel agrees that it will indeed take her 6 or 7 minutes to get dressed, with the caveat, "Once I figure out what I'm wearing," it cuts to Joey offering Ross the "glass of fat" as he stands behind the couch. In the next shot of Ross, the reflections on the TV screen show Joey is still sitting on the couch, and the camera and camera operator (wearing a dark shirt and raises an arm) behind the sofa.

The One Where Joey Dates Rachel - S8-E12

Factual error: The premise of Chandler filling the high score list with dirty words is not possible for this game. Ms. Pac-Man only keeps track of a single high score, which is always displayed at the top of the screen. Unlike many other games of the era, there is no screen showing a list of additional top scores alongside initials during the attract mode, and there is not even a mechanism for entering initials within the game's code.

The One with George Stephanopoulos - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rachel is explaining that she's not going back home, the friend with her arm on the back of the sofa behind her has her sleeve part the way up towards her elbow leaving a very prominent gap between the sleeve and bracelet. When the camera comes back to her the gap has now gone. (00:08:20)

Kathy: So, what did you do today?
Chandler: Well, I had an appointment to get my hair cut...
Kathy: Oh, it looks great!
Chandler: ...and then it got cancelled.

Trivia: The Magna-doodle on the door in the boys apartment has a different picture on it every episode. There is usually some tenuous connection between the picture and the plot of the episode.

More trivia for Friends

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.
