The One With The Embryos - S4-E12

The One Where Ross Hugs Rachel - S6-E2
Trivia: When Rachel thinks that she, Monica, and Chandler will be roommates, she sings, "Come and knock on our door," then Monica adds, "We'll be waiting for you," which are lyrics to the theme song for the 1970s-80s ABC sitcom 'Three's Company'.

The One With Joey's Award - S7-E18
Trivia: The original script for this featured a subplot with Ross seeing Chandler exiting a male strip club, with obvious confusion and assumptions, with Chandler later admitting he only goes there because he likes the sandwiches. Matthew Perry shut the idea down. He's barely in this episode, possibly as a result of this subplot being excised and it being simpler to expand the existing scenes rather than write a whole new Chandler-centric section.
The One with Two Parts: Part 1 - S1-E16
Trivia: Jennifer Grant, who plays Nina, the employee Chandler is supposed to fire, is the daughter of Cary Grant (the famous movie star of the 1940s and 1950s) and actress Dyan Cannon.
The One With Rachel's Inadvertent Kiss - S5-E17
Trivia: When viewing this episode on DVD compared to viewing it on Netflix, not only are a few shots deleted on the Netflix version, but there are also shots which had been filmed differently when Rachel returns after her first interview. On the DVD, she walks over to the table, puts her briefcase down on the chair and walks to the fridge, takes out a bottle of water...and then in a closeup Chandler asks her what happened while he's holding the newspaper. But in the Netflix version, Rachel walks over to the table, and just as she puts her briefcase down on the chair she stands behind the chair, and Chandler asks her what happened - all in the same wideshot, with the newspaper lying on the table.
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.
