The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode when Ross says, "Multiple orgasms", you can see Chandler's boot is not resting on his knee. In the next shot it has appeared from nowhere. (00:00:55)
The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5

The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: When Joey and Angela talk in Central Perk, the black waitress with long hair is visible the background of shots of Angela. When we see shots of Joey the same waitress is also behind him near Gunther. She is in two places at once. (00:05:50)
The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5

The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5

The One with the East German Laundry Detergent - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: The positions of the mugs shift between shots.
Continuity mistake: When Joey asks how the play was, Monica's grip on her program changes between shots. Note the gap between her hands. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: When Ross is reading the book he shows it to Phoebe who passes it back. Then without turning the pages he passes it to Chandler but the pages are different now. (00:07:20)
Continuity mistake: After Chandler makes the joke about Joey cracking show business, Joey is holding the phone in his left hand. In the next shot, it is in his right hand. (00:11:20)
Suggested correction: You can actually see him switch it to the other hand before the next scene pops up if you look close enough.
Not for the shot the mistake is talking about. Throughout the scene he's switching the phone back and forth. But after Chandler's line, Joey is just standing there with the phone in his left hand, he doesn't make any move to switch hands. In the next shot, the wide shot from the side showing everyone, you see the phone is in his right hand.
Continuity mistake: In the scene just before Joey goes into the shower, when he is thanking the director for the opportunity, the camera shot goes back and forth between Joey and the director several times. During this series of shots, the part in Joey's hair switches sides nearly every time. It appears that the entire shot is reversed - in the closeup, the shower curtain is on his left and the shadow to his right is sharply focused. In the lower (long) shot, the curtain is to his right, and the shadow on his left is more focused. (00:13:05)
Continuity mistake: When Chandler's partner says she's going to be late for Andrew she has her hands in front of her. Camera changes and now one hand is up by her hair. (00:18:15)
Continuity mistake: At the very end when Monica is in bed, her grip on the bed clothes changes between shots. (00:23:10)
The One with the Blackout - S1-E7

The One with the Blackout - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Joey is standing with candelight over Ross' neck, the candle is full length, but in the next shot it's only half length. (00:13:00)
The One with the Blackout - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Rachel takes the cat to apartment number 8 and Mr. Heckles opens the door. However, in this episode, the girls' apartment is labeled number 5 which means that number 8 is above them. In later episodes, Mr. Heckles always says that the noisy girls upstairs are keeping him from doing things. [It makes a bit more sense later on in the series when Monica and Rachel's appartment changes to number 20, which is when Mr Heckles starts to complain about the noise (although in the flash back episode when Phoebe is still living with Monica it seems apparent that they actually know Mr Heckles, which Phoebe shows no sign of when she and Rachel are looking for the owner of the cat).] (00:13:40)
The One with the Blackout - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: During the Monopoly game (deleted scene), right after Monica says, "we can bring my wheelbarrow, to carry your teeth," we see Ross reading the game manual at the end of the shot. At the beginning of the very next shot, he is suddenly rolling the dice with no manual in his hands. (00:17:00)
