The One With Joey's Interview - S8-E19

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, Joey is holding the Soap Opera Digest magazine. In one shot it is open but folded, then in another it is open all the way, then it's folded again, then it's open again, then it's closed, and then it's folded again. The change is never shown.

The One With The Baby Shower - S8-E20

Continuity mistake: In the one with Rachel's babyshower, Monica needs to ring Rachel's mom to invite her. She says that she has her number in her phone book and walks over to the phone - we see her start to look at it, but when the angle changes she's got the phone and is dialling. (00:01:00)

The One With The Cooking Class - S8-E21

Continuity mistake: The night before they go to the baby furniture store, Ross and Rachel are in the kitchen talking. Just before they leave the kitchen watch Rachel's robe: in one shot the 'lapels' are neatly one over the other, and in the next shot one lapel has moved lower and looks halfway folded over as if she hastily pulled the robe together. (00:03:15)

The One Where Rachel is Late - S8-E22

Plot hole: The times in this episode vary a lot. Monica and Phoebe first bet about Rachel giving birth, then it goes to the scene with Joey and Chandler at the movies. It then returns to Monica and Phoebe the next day with Monica losing the bet. However, a little while later, it goes back a day and shows Joey and Chandler at the movie premiere again. (00:09:00)

The One Where Rachel is Late - S8-E22

Continuity mistake: At the end, when Rachel and Ross leave for the hospital, Rachel grabs the keys. In the close-up, when Rachel asks, "Do you think we have time?" she holds the keys up in her left hand while Ross holds her empty right hand. It then cuts to a medium shot, and the keys are now in Rachel's right hand, the same hand Ross holds. (00:20:40)

The One Where Rachel Has a Baby, part 1 - S8-E23

Continuity mistake: At the beginning, when Rachel first arrives at the hospital, she is talking about the hospital not being out of rooms. She points to herself with her right hand saying 'What if I was the president?' Then when the shot changes to include Ross she is pointing to herself with her left hand, then it cuts back to just Rachel and she is using her right hand again. (00:01:25)

The One With Ross's Teeth - S6-E8

Monica: What happened to your teeth?
Ross: I whitened them.
Chandler: Really?
Ross: Yeah, what... What do you think?
Monica: Well, uh, I think I shouldn't look directly at them.
Ross: Come on, seriously.
Monica: Ross, they're really, really, really white!
Chandler: Yeah, what was wrong with your old... Human teeth?
Ross: Well, I did leave the gel on a little longer than it said to.
Monica: How much longer?
Ross: Uh, uh... A day.
Monica: Ross, you know that tonight is your date with Hillary?
Ross: I know! That's why I did it! Come on, are they really that bad?
Chandler: No. No, no, no, you'll be fine. Hilary's blind, right?
Monica: She will be after tonight.

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.
