Friends (1994)

The One With All The Resolutions - S5-E11

Continuity mistake: Rachel mentions "the big thing," so Joey sticks his fingers in his ears to block her out. When Rachel pulls on his arms, the only things on the table are Joey's bottled drink, crayons, and coloring paper. In the next shot, we see Rachel's arms and she's not holding anything. It cuts to the next shot facing Joey, as he says, "Well then, it wouldn't be a secret, so yeah, that would be OK," and now there's a drinking glass on the table. Rachel removes it in the next shot.

This is not a flipped shot. The combadge position in the photo was not edited in the 1st shot, though it was corrected in the 2nd shot. (00:24:00)
