Show generally

Continuity mistake: Ross always had an end apartment. At some point in Season 8, his apartment became a middle apartment. In earlier season, when Joey had mistaken Ross' for the hot girl's apartment, it showed the apt as an end apt. In TOW Joey tells Rachel, when Joey asked Rachel to have dinner at Ross' apt, it showed another hallway where Joey came from which is supposed to be the wall/ Ross' kitchen.

The One Where No One's Ready - S3-E2

Visible crew/equipment: After Rachel agrees that it will indeed take her 6 or 7 minutes to get dressed, with the caveat, "Once I figure out what I'm wearing," it cuts to Joey offering Ross the "glass of fat" as he stands behind the couch. In the next shot of Ross, the reflections on the TV screen show Joey is still sitting on the couch, and the camera and camera operator (wearing a dark shirt and raises an arm) behind the sofa.

The One with George Stephanopoulos - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: When Rachel is explaining that she's not going back home, the friend with her arm on the back of the sofa behind her has her sleeve part the way up towards her elbow leaving a very prominent gap between the sleeve and bracelet. When the camera comes back to her the gap has now gone. (00:08:20)

The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: Before Monica stomps on Paul's watch, the chair closest to the fridge does not have fabric backing, then when Ross eats the Oreo and walks toward his jacket the chair closest to the fridge is now fabric backed and his jacket hangs from a chair with no fabric, plus there are only four chairs around the table. However, when Ross picks up his jacket this chair is now fabric backed, the chair closest to the fridge doesn't have a fabric back yet again, and there are now five chairs around the table. (00:27:00)

The One With The Dirty Girl - S4-E6

Question: When Joey asks why he can't give Kathy the pen, Chandler says, "Because she's not eleven. And it's not the seventh night of Chanukah." What is Chandler talking about when he says, "It's not the seventh night of Chanukah?"

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.

Answer: Chanukah is a Jewish celebration that occurs around the same time as the Christian Christmas. The celebration lasts for eight days and it is customary to give a small gift on each of the eight days. There is no special gift required and the line about it being "the seventh night" of Chanukah is just Chandler's sarcasm.
