The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: The door to Monica's bedroom is shown open, then closed, then open, and then closed during the scene in which Paul arrives for their date. (00:09:00)
The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Monica is saying bye to Paul, Paul goes to the screen left but the stairs are at the screen right. (00:19:20)
The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: In the scene where the friends scoot the table over to see Monica's date with "Paul the wine guy", the cup in front of Chandler changes position. (00:18:55)
The One Where Dr. Ramoray Dies - S2-E18
Continuity mistake: When Monica is trying to cheer Joey up, she tells him that she straightened out his shower curtain so it wouldn't get mildew. But in a previous episode (The One Where Eddie Moves In), Joey gives the gang a tour of his new apartment; the shower is clearly visible in the bathroom, and it has a door. (00:18:10)
Continuity mistake: Chandler and Monica's wedding day is May 15th 2001, as mentioned on the show. In Series 9, some time in January 2003 (as it is after the characters have celebrated Christmas and New Year), it is established that Rachel has been on maternity leave for five months, which means she took her leave in August. Since she realised she was pregnant in May the year before, when Monica and Chandler got married, this means her pregnancy lasted from April/May 2001 to August/September 2002, a time span of 16 to 17 months. This cannot be explained by saying that episodes don't have to take place in the month they air, as we are given the dates by the characters on the show.
The One With the Sharks - S9-E4
Continuity mistake: In "The One With the Sharks", Phoebe talks to Joey about how he's never been in a long term relationship. He has been, though - Angela Delveccio, who he went out with for three years. (00:21:40)
The One With The Prom Video - S2-E14
Continuity mistake: The prom video has just ended and the TV screen goes blank. Monica had been sitting next to Rachel, but in the reflection of the TV screen you can see her beginning to stand up. We cut back to a 'real' view, and she's sitting down; then she stands up again. (00:20:25)
The One with All the Poker - S1-E18
Continuity mistake: When Chandler and Ross are explaining how Joey cried during their poker game, Joey's coffee mug is blue when he's holding it at the counter, but when Joey walks away from the counter his mug is yellow.
The One With Ross's Sandwich - S5-E9
Continuity mistake: After Joey makes up the story about how he slept with Monica once in London, in the shots facing Phoebe, Rachel, and Ross the door to Monica's apartment goes back and forth being either wide open or closed, depending on the angle of the shot.
The One With Rachel's Book - S7-E2
Continuity mistake: Chandler and Monica are having dinner with her parents. He asks Jack how he and Judy got engaged. He starts, "Well I'd gotten Judy pregnant..." Then they talk about how Jack told Monica's friends a "scary story" about how Judy got pregnant because her method of birth control, her diaphragm, had malfunctioned (damaged by a dog). In the rest of the show, however, we are continually hearing that the firstborn, Ross, was "a medical marvel" and that they thought Judy was barren. This apparently is the main reason why they love Ross more than Monica.
The One Where Chandler Doesn't Like Dogs - S7-E8
Continuity mistake: In this episode, it is stated that Ross does not like ice cream because it's too cold. However, back in The One Where Ross Dates a Student, you can see Ross on a date with Elizabeth eating an ice cream.
The One With The Cheap Wedding Dress - S7-E17
Continuity mistake: Monica chooses a wedding dress at an expensive boutique, then later goes to a discount store to buy the same style dress at a half-off sale. The dress she buys is different from the one in the boutique, having wider and frillier straps. When she tries it on later at the apartment, it is now the same style as the one at the boutique. (00:04:00 - 00:07:15)
The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Ross, Chandler and Joey are setting up Ross' furniture and Ross is bent down saying, "And I cannot feel my legs," Ross is holding up a manual. When it cuts, the manual is suddenly lying on the floor. [In other versions, such as Netflix, the first shot shows the manual falling to the floor and the second shot does not exist. However, the mistake is valid for the TV broadcast version of the episode]. (00:11:45)
The One With All The Thanksgivings - S5-E8
Continuity mistake: In the flashback where Joey sticks the turkey on his head, the subtitle says Thanksgiving 1992. However, the show started in 1994 and Joey didn't move in until the previous fall, so the earliest Thanksgiving that he was there would have been 1993. (00:04:30)
The One With The Proposal, part 1 - S6-E24
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Richard is being seated next to Chandler and Monica, the amount of champagne in Chandler's glass changes. (00:09:20)
The One Where Rachel's Sister Babysits - S10-E5
Continuity mistake: Rachel and her sister are in Rachel's room. When Rachel picks up Emma, Emma has nothing in her arms, but in the next shot when Rachel is holding her, she has a toy in her arms though she had no time to get one.
Continuity mistake: The view from Monica's apartment changes after the first few episodes.
The One With a Chick. And a Duck. - S3-E21
Continuity mistake: When Ross is asking Joey and Chandler which suit he should wear for the TV thing the brown suit is in his right hand and the blue one is in his left hand. After Ross says "really?" the shot changes to a wide view, the two suits have changed places, and the cover on the brown suit has switched to the blue one. (00:09:50)
Continuity mistake: The Chick changes breeds and gender a couple of times. It starts out as a full size White Leghorn. During the adolescent phase it is a female White Silkie. This is a bantam or small size chicken. In maturity it is a male White Leghorn.
The One With The Fertility Test - S9-E21
Continuity mistake: When Rachel takes her gift certificate to the massage parlour to claim her free massage, she hands it to the receptionist and we can see that it has been torn up into eight pieces and taped back together. Yet when Phoebe tears up the gift certificate in a previous scene, we see her tear it into only four pieces before handing it back to Rachel. (00:05:00 - 00:08:20)
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.
