Continuity mistake: At the end when Rachel comes into the coffee house and sees Mona with Ross, she is holding a brown paper bag. When you see her in the background, the the top of the paper bag is rolled over away from her.

The One With Rachel's Date - S8-E5

Visible crew/equipment: While Phoebe and Tim are at Central Perk, when Tim's beeper goes off he blows Phoebe a kiss when he leaves, and as Phoebe catches that kiss and throws it away have a look at the left side of the screen, where the Central Perk wall ends we can see part of Monica's restaurant kitchen set - the door and the wall beside it.

The One With The Halloween Party - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Phoebe is talking to Ursula's fiance Eric, he is wiping sweat off his face with a napkin. He puts the napkin to his eye and then in the next shot it changes to the other eye without him having enough time to change it. This happens again when at one point he's wiping his eye and then suddenly his forehead. (00:07:45)

The One With The Halloween Party - S8-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rachel returns from running after the boy that she told to "shut up", you see Joey picking up a piece of food, sniffing it and making a face and then putting it back on the tray. However in the next shot, without moving, Joey is munching on something - he didn't have anything in his hand before. (00:19:55)

The One With The Halloween Party - S8-E6

Factual error: This show is set in October (it's a Halloween party). Rachel's stomach is completely flat, but according to the show, she got pregnant in April (It's stated several times by the characters on the show that Monica and Chandler's wedding was in May, and we learn in "The One With The Red Sweater" that she got pregnant a month before the wedding. Hence, April). However, by October she should have a six months' pregnant belly, which is no way resembles the perfectly flat belly she shows.

The One With The Stain - S8-E7

Plot hole: When Monica falls off the chair you can see that she is wearing a white bra because you can see some of the cup and the strap (when she says "you're not getting it". Towards the end of the episode (still the same day) we find out that Monica is meant to have the same bra on as their new cleaner, Brenda. The bra she is meant to have on is 'pink with the lacy cup'. Rachel notices that Monica is wearing that bra and she shows Monica. What happened to the white bra she had on a few scenes before? (00:11:15 - 00:19:10)

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 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.
