The One With Ross's Grant - S10-E6
Continuity mistake: After Joey puts the video in the player, it's clear the video doesn't go all the way in, and even starts to eject itself. The shot cuts, and without him making any moves to replace the tape, it plays fine.

The One With The Ultimate Fighting Champion - S3-E24
Continuity mistake: Joey's hair is suddenly much shorter after the intro with Robin Williams and Billy Crystal - everyone's wearing the same clothes so no time is meant to have passed.
6th Jul 2006
The One The Morning After - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: In previous episodes we've seen that from the living room there's a short wall just inside Monica's bedroom (presumably to prevent a clear view inside, as her bedroom set isn't normally there). However in this episode when most of the gang are in her room, they're listening right by the door into the living room with nothing in the way. (00:11:25)
2nd Oct 2004
The One With Phoebe's Cookies - S7-E3
Continuity mistake: While trying out different recipes, at one point Monica's holding a cookie in her hand. It's a whole cookie, but when the angle changes, suddenly a chunk is missing. (00:13:00)
12th Sep 2004
The One With Christmas in Tulsa - S9-E10
Continuity mistake: After Chandler says "Merry Christmas" to the gang, they all respond - Phoebe just goes "blargh blargh", and has her hands in her lap. They all turn to look at her, and suddenly her hands are resting on the sides of the stool. (00:10:30)
3rd Aug 2004
The One With Rachel's Date - S8-E5
Continuity mistake: When Ross says goodbye to Rachel near the end, she lowers the bag of sweets to her waist. Then in a close up of her looking thoughtful it's up by her chest. (00:20:10)
3rd Aug 2004
The One With Rachel's Date - S8-E5
Continuity mistake: When Monica and Phoebe both confront Tim, they blurt out their news at the same time. In the three-shot he uncrosses his arms in surprise, but in the shot of Phoebe we can see he's still got his arms crossed. (00:17:00)
8th Jun 2004
The One Where Chandler Gets Caught - S10-E10
Continuity mistake: After Chandler says he loves the house, Monica says "this is huge" with her arms by her sides. We then cut to a front shot, and Monica's holding her hands in front of her. (00:04:30)
19th Apr 2004
The One With Ross's Grant - S10-E6
Continuity mistake: When Monica comes round to Phoebe's, Phoebe reminds her that she's got to clear out stuff. In this wide shot Monica has both hands by her sides, but when it cuts to her finishing saying "oh right", her right hand is now gripping her bag's strap. (00:05:00)
1st Feb 2004
The One With The Blind Dates - S9-E14
Continuity mistake: At the end of the blind date, in shots of Rachel, her date Steve is holding her hand with both of his, but from the reverse angle he's only using one. (00:18:45)
29th Jan 2004
The One With All The Resolutions - S5-E11
Continuity mistake: When Joey and Rachel are trying to work out if the other knows about Monica and Chandler, they sit at the table in silence. In a side shot of Joey they look at each other sneakily, and Joey has his arms by his sides. It then cuts to a head-on shot of Joey, and he's got his right arm over the back of the chair. (00:19:00)
29th Jan 2004
The One Where Ross Moves In - S5-E7
Continuity mistake: At the very start of the episode, when Joey's showing Chandler National Geographic, Chandler has his left hand up by his face in one shot, then when the angle changes they're both clasped in his lap. (00:00:05)
29th Jan 2004
The One With Ross's Wedding, part 2 - S4-E24
Continuity mistake: As Ross says, "This is our wedding day," in a close-up, Elliott Gould is holding a bit of paper in his left hand (glasses in his other hand, out of shot). In the wide shot, the paper is in his right hand, then jumps back to his left when the angle changes. (00:36:25)
23rd Jan 2004
The One Where No One's Ready - S3-E2
Continuity mistake: When Ross asks Chandler "you took his underwear?", the angle changes halfway through the line. Chandler's hands go from in front of him to being in his pockets. (00:10:50)
12th Dec 2003
The One With Phoebe's Rats - S9-E12
Continuity mistake: Extended version. As Rachel says "the guy hates me", in a wide shot Monica turns to her with her arms by her sides to say "does he?". It then cuts to a shot more focused on Monica where she laughs, and she's now reaching forwards to the table. (00:13:10)
30th Nov 2003
The One With The Princess Leia Fantasy - S3-E1
Continuity mistake: When Joey says "we'll call that plan B, all right?", Monica has her chin in her hand. When it cuts to a different angle, she's got both arms on the table. Rachel also goes from having both hands clasped under her chin to having one arm resting on the table and one reaching for coffee. (00:05:10)
13th Nov 2003
The One With The Dollhouse - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: When Chandler's in Rachel's office, she tells him the lingerie isn't kept there. He says, "Yes I realise that", and starts reaching for the catalogue she's about to give him. Camera cuts, and he's now standing with his hands in his pockets, reaching out again when she gives him the catalogue. (00:02:40)
10th Oct 2003
The One With All The Thanksgivings - S5-E8
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe's trying to make the TV work at the beginning, in the close-ups and the first wide shot the remote's at an angle, but in the second wide shot it's straight. It then goes back to being at an angle. (00:00:15)
6th Sep 2003
The One with the Monkey - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Just after Chandler explains the situation to Janice, she goes off crying, and Ross takes a photo. The flash is much brighter than it should be - the screen's whited out to disguise a jump cut - after the flash Chandler's noticeably further back than he was before. (00:17:45)
21st Jul 2003
The One In Barbados, part 2 - S9-E24
Continuity mistake: In the One in Barbados (part 2), just after Monica bashes her hand against the table, the shot of Chandler asking if she's OK shows Monica raising a finger right at the edge of the screen. We then cut to Monica, who's cradling both her hands together. (00:42:50)
