Friends

The One with the Monkey - S1-E10

Corrected entry: This episode is taking place the week before New Year's Eve, so why is Joey still working as an elf in a department store? During one scene, Monica is dismantling the Christmas tree and Joey walks in wearing the elf costume and talking about the single mom he met while she was waiting in line with her kids. These dates don't seem to add up.

Correction: A week before New Year's Eve is Christmas Eve, they are exactly seven days apart. It could also be on Christmas Day. Joey would still be working as an elf because little children want to see Santa on Christmas. Monica would be taking the tree down because she's obsessive about cleaning and the Christmas celebration at her apartment was over.

Correction: She doubtless does remember him, but may not want to be so rude as to leave a date like that, or perhaps she just wanted to give him a second chance.

Correction: And there "should" be only one best man. There aren't any laws in weddings, so Ross can change it however he wants.

Correction: When Ross knows that he's in the wrong airport, the camera doesn't go back, and we can't see where the stage ends.

Correction: But we see her pick it up and put it down in between shots.

Correction: In other episodes, when the shower curtain is opened, you can see the window is on the back wall on the far side of the tub (which is not uncommon).

Correction: Monica was surprised because it was the first time he'd said it to other people. She knew that he loved her, but it's another thing to say it to others (especially for Chandler). She, and everyone else, probably expected him to say something like "I'm going out with Monica", but he used love. This is backed up by Phoebe's exclamation of "I thought you guys were just doing it. I didn't know you were in love.".

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.

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

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.

Correction: This was done intentionally to make fun of the forced appearance in soap operas.

Correction: When she sends back a round of drinks in the flashback episode, she is a secure, wealthy, engaged woman surrounded by her country-club friends. She might have been more secure to point out other peoples' mistakes as the wealthy, engaged Rach but in TOW the east laundry detergent, she is not wealthy OR engaged and she is constantly guffing up coffee orders. She may be more insecure now.

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 Last One (2) - S10-E20

Corrected entry: In the episode The Last One (1), Joey said he sat on the baby welcome sign, but in the episode The Last One (2), when he is going to get something to open the football table, we can see the back side of his jeans and there is no red paint on them.

Correction: He's had plenty of time to change jeans.

The One With Phoebe's Ex-Partner - S3-E14

Corrected entry: How is it possible for Phoebe's ex-partner to use the Smelly Cat song for a kitty litter jingle when a record company made Smelly Cat into a song/video in the Second Season's TOW Eddie Moves In? Surely there was a contract involved between Phoebe and the record company granting the record company the rights?

Correction: Phoebe never signed the contract, and the record was never released because she felt it was unfair to have the girl singing it and not being in the video. Without the contract, Phoebe still has full rights to Smelly Cat, which she would have been able to sign over to Leslie.

Correction: Rachel may have been showing off to her "rich friends" as they appear to look down their noses at her for working in a coffeehouse as a waitress instead of being a married woman. They patronise her for this and she mutters something about putting "blobbies" on the cookies. She may have lied about her housework abilities also to make herself feel better.

Correction: From the angle we have, it's not possible to tell if Monica is there or not.

tw_stuart

Correction: The camera angle is different when Chandler is saying goodnight so we have a different view. If you watch carefully, you can see the towel is still there, we can just see the edge of it.

tw_stuart

Correction: I've checked and it most definitely doesn't. It's on all the time.

tw_stuart

Correction: That was in the first episode. Joey has a playboy image so Chandler probably didn't even know or ask. It's highly unlikely that Joey was with only one girl for those three years, so Chandler's point would still be valid.

The One With The Jellyfish - S4-E1

Question: When Ross and Rachel are fighting, Chandler hides behind the door and bursts out saying, "I knew it!" When Rachel says, "It's not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy, and it is a big deal!" is this just a Chandler moment or is there another joke I have missed?

Answer: The statements that she's contradicting (that it is common, it happens to every guy, and it's not a big deal), are the things that a woman commonly says to a man who is suffering from erectile difficulty, typically to assuage his bruised ego. However, most men do not believe that these statements are true, as evidenced by Chandler's outburst. He's so caught up in the proof that women are lying about it that he gives himself away.
