The One Where Rachel Has a Baby, part 2 - S8-E24

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe and Ross are standing in front of the screen looking at all the babies and talking about why He and Rachel aren't together, some of Phoebe's hair is in front of her shoulder on the right hand side then the shot changes looking over Phoebe's shoulder at Ross. Then when you see Phoebe again her hair is behind her shoulder yet she has not moved or touched her hair. (00:45:00)

Friends mistake picture

The One With All The Kissing - S5-E2

Continuity mistake: In the scene after Monica pretends to drop socks in the hallway in order to prevent Rachel from telling Ross she still loves him, Rachel goes back into the apartment and locks Monica out. Monica then starts to pound on the door with her bare left hand. The scene changes to the apartment and Ross opens the door to let Monica in. All of a sudden Monica is pounding the door with her right hand wrapped in a sock. (This continuity problem is for the widescreen version, where we see a closeup of Monica not seen on the DVD, in the hallway with a bare hand right before Ross opens the door. However, on the DVD there are extra shots of Ross and Rachel after seeing Monica's bare hand pounding and then seeing her with the sock on her hand, which gives her ample time to put it on). (00:11:45)

The One With the Baby on the Bus - S2-E6

Factual error: In the one where Joey and Chandler lose baby Ben on a transit city bus, they later have to pick him up at the transit city headquarters. The man working there assumes that one of them is the father. There is no way that a city official would just give away a baby without checking for ID or a birth certificate or proof of fathership of the child. (00:14:30)

The One With All The Haste - S4-E19

Revealing mistake: When they are using cards to bet on the Knicks tickets, watch Joey carefully as he goes to reshuffle the pack from behind the arm of the chair. It's obvious that there are two decks, and he is in fact switching them over. (00:13:40)

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.

The One With the Sharks - S9-E4

Question: What's the name of the "scary painting" that Joey saw in the apartment of the girl he thought he'd slept with before? The strange and creepy painting (black and white, with an amorphous body and a chair). I really, really want to know who is the artist. Not Gladys - that's Phoebe's painting that comes out of the frame.

David Cañedo Mesinas

Answer: The painting doesn't have a name, and if it does it is never mentioned in this episode.
