The One With The Rumor - S8-E9
Continuity mistake: When Ross hands Rachel the Yams in order to break the tension, the amount of food on both Ross' and Will's plates changes between shots. Also several wine glasses appear on the table. (00:12:30)
The One With The Cooking Class - S8-E21
Visible crew/equipment: When Joey and Monica are leaving the cooking class, the teacher asks about the difference between hollandaise and béarnaise sauce, and in the next shot of Monica and Joey we can see the shadow of the moving boom mic at the top left side of the screen.
The One Where Joey Tells Rachel - S8-E16
Continuity mistake: At the end of the previous episode, Joey tells Ross that he has feelings for Rachel just as Ross is about to walk out of Central Perk, and there's a vase of tulips on the table beside the door and two things hanging on the coat hooks. The opening scene of this episode continues at the same moment of Joey's admission, and the vase has vanished and there's only a sweater hanging on the coat hooks.
The One Where Joey Tells Rachel - S8-E16
Continuity mistake: When Monica and Chandler get back to the apartment Chandler tosses his coat over the back of the sofa, and while they're talking about soulmates and a house of cheese we can see Chandler's coat in the reflection on the TV, but then it vanishes in the reflection, though it reappears when Chandler says that he wants to take Monica out to a restaurant.
The One Where Rachel Tells... - S8-E3
Continuity mistake: When Rachel sits down in Ross' apartment, she places her magazine down on the table with its binder facing the audience, but while Ross goes on about their one night just being fun the binder is now facing the opposite way on the table, and then it's flipped back to the original position.
Continuity mistake: When Ross introduces himself to Mona, the reception place card that Mona's holding switches from her left hand to her right hand, between shots.
The One With The Video Tape - S8-E4
Continuity mistake: When Ross turns on the camera and sits down in front of it, "flirting" with it and drinking wine, what you can see on the little camera screen is very different from when they play the same clip on the TV, in which looks like he was sitting much closer to the camera then he actually was.
The One Where Rachel Tells... - S8-E3
Visible crew/equipment: When Phoebe asks Treeger not to mention the incident with the door to Monica and Chandler, just as Treeger uses the measuring tape we can see the opening in the wall beside the door.
The One Where Rachel is Late - S8-E22
Other mistake: Ross wants Rachel to change, but she claims that it is 100° out. Monica and Chandler got married on May 15, the day Rachel was officially pregnant. 9 Months after May would be Febuary. It would be cold out.
The One With The Red Sweater - S8-E2
Audio problem: When Joey is proposing to Rachel and he tells Phoebe to give him the ring back, she says "No!" and pulls her hand away. When she pulls it away, she hits her chest and there's a thump sound that's clearly the sound of her clip on microphone being hit (it's way too audible to be just a thump on her chest). (00:17:50)
The One Where Joey Dates Rachel - S8-E12
Visible crew/equipment: As Ross enters the classroom for his second lesson, he bursts in and for roughly five seconds, a boom mic is visible hovering overhead near the door. (00:10:15)
The One With Ross' Step Forward - S8-E11
Continuity mistake: When Phoebe is getting drinks out of the refrigerator, she gets out two different type bottles, and they switch hands during the scene. (00:17:50)
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)
Revealing mistake: In the one after Monica and Chandler get married, Chandler says he can't dance because his shoes are slippery. If you look closely, he managed to slip so much by standing on the bottom of Monica's dress, not because of the shoes. (00:06:00)
The One With The Rumor - S8-E9
Continuity mistake: The gang confronts Ross over his affair with a fifty-year old librarian when he was younger. If you watch the mirror behind him (in one of the girls' rooms), it changes angles every time the camera cuts between Ross and the rest of the gang. (00:17:40)
The One With The Rumor - S8-E9
Continuity mistake: Right near the end of the episode when Joey comes in wearing the maternity pants, he pulls out the chair from the table twice. (00:21:20)
The One With The Video Tape - S8-E4
Continuity mistake: When Ross walks into Joey's apartment after everyone watched the tape, you see him come in and they cut to Rachel and you hear a door close, they cut back to Ross and the door is still open and he shuts it again. (00:20:00)
The One With The Stripper - S8-E8
Continuity mistake: When the stripper has just entered the apartment you can see her putting down her right arm twice, without enough time in between to put it back up. (00:09:50)
The One Where Rachel Has a Baby, part 1 - S8-E23
Continuity mistake: When the couple who has bad pet names for each other is sharing the maternity room with Rachel, the man is unpacking a suitcase that he closes, but in the next shot its open and he flips the top closed again. (00:09:10)
The One With The Video Tape - S8-E4
Continuity mistake: When we see the video, notice Rachel's hair. It is the same length as it is throughout season 8, but her hair is supposed to be the short bob she had in season 7 since it took place then. (00:17:00)
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.
