Is Monica allergic to cats or not? In the one where Phoebe thinks her Mom came back as a cat --> no sneezing, the one where Rachel gets a Sphinx cat however --> lots of sneezing. That bugs me!!!
I have a pretty important filming mistake that I so far have not seen anyone talk about or respond to yet. I'd love to have a chance to share it with you and have you uploaded and comment on it. I promise you.... I have not found this one anywhere else yet.
#19-Joey obviously ate all the bits of food off his shirt. That is completely in character.
In the early seasons, Ross, Monica & their parents talk about how Ross was a "medical marvel" because they thought that Judy could never have kids "they thought she was barren", hence why Ross was the favourite child. However, in season 7 episode 2, Jack & Judy talk about how they got engaged because he'd got Judy pregnant, because his dog had chewed Judy's diaphram. If she was barren, why was she using birth control?
maybe controlling her period , its very common
@@bloodymary6898 a diaphragm blocks sperm from getting to the egg. It does not regulate periods.
I have been on birth control for the past 5 years (since I was 13) as I had periods that were far too heavy and could last up to 4 weeks of continuous bleeding, so it’s not always for birth control.
Good catch!
@@bloodymary6898you know a diaphragm is not a hormonal contraception right?
The Phoebe French one is pretty easily explained away. Even if you know another language you might not recognise a word from it plonked down in the middle of an English sentence. Plus she’s flirting with the dude … so there’s that too.
Sorry, but that's a terrible explanation. That's like saying you wouldn't notice an English word in the middle of a sentence in Japanese. Of course you would notice it. It's more plausible that she learned the language in between those two episodes or that she didn't realize she knew how to speak French, like she didn't know she could speak Italian when she spoke it to Joey's grandmother. The latter fits in with the character.
i don’t remember which episode but there’sa scene where phoebe is talking about her days living on the street and she mentioned that she and several people met together to learn french
@@KaramarikaI was visiting family in Mexico-about 2 hours in and all that was spoken was Spanish-and in the middle of lunch I mentioned the music playing in the background sounded like English, my native language. It was.
If you aren’t expecting to hear another language your brain takes a bit to pick up on it.
@@Karamarikashe was flirty so sometimes ppl play dumb
@@sandimckeag2654 that makes no sense. I hear other languages all the time and immediately recognize them. It's not like my brain goes wonky when youtube decides to randomly give me an ad in Spanish.
❤️ how you continue to come up with new ideas for Friends lists. I never even noticed most of these, especially Joey’s ‘self cleaning’ shirt. Whoever was in charge of ‘continuity’ made plenty of errors. Didn’t matter, still loved the show.💕
Did you see Joey sucking on his shirt? Maybe he spent the whole scene where Monica drags out the announcement of a pregnant woman sucking his shirt clean. Joey does like food, and he doesn’t share.
The self cleaning one was wrong, it was still dirty probably the fabric was also sucking in the moist. Since probably they have done several takes
There’s one mistake in Friends I NEVER see on these lists. In the first season episode “The One where Nana Dies Twice” Chandler’s co-worker tries setting him up on a date with a fellow male co-worker. When he talks to the friends abt this he asks them if anyone thought he was gay when they first met him and Rachel says that she thought he was but that he spent the whole of Phoebe’s birthday party talking to her breasts yet Phoebe’s birthday party isn’t until a few episodes later on in the season. I’ve always assumed that the first season we see Rachel settling in to her new life and making new friends. So how can she have been to Phoebe’s birthday party when said party hasn’t even happened yet? Can Rachel see into the future? Or does Phoebe have 2 birthdays a year?
Phoebe is a mistake, that's the reason.
Don't forget that apparently Ross had two birthdates
Also, Rachel and Chandler met at a party when she was in high school and he was in college, in a throwback episode. They even kissed in that scene.
@@charliejoson9145 MsMojo didn't forget, see #11.
What season and episode is that? Because it probably had time to happen-and why would we assume it was something we saw? Sure, we saw A party-but not every birthday was shown. I certainly assumed that was a reference to something never shown.
The part of the Geller - Bing wedding announcement: "We wouldn't want anything to ruin the big day now would we" is so Judy Geller!
She has been pessimistic and unenthusiastic about Monica's opinions,ideas and decisions since, as a mother, her favorite was Ross.
I've seen each episode countless times, and only NOW I've noticed the obvious stand ins for Monica and Rachel. It helps if you have wide-screen too, I suppose.
I've only seen Monica and Rachel's stand ins (specifically Monica's) on this video only. F.R.I.E.N.D.S episodes weren't shown in widescreen format (even on streaming platforms)
@charliejoson9145 exactly. When it's wide-screen on TV, they are cutting away the sides to make it seem wide or stretching it to fit. When they stretch it, everyone looks really wide, which is odd because they are so skinny.
Number two was explained in the reunion. The episode The One Where No One's Ready was one of the longest to shoot because the actor for Joey was injured. That's why in the episode after, Joey was wearing a sling. Production was delayed due to Matt Leblanc's injury even though they were trying to cut costs by filming in one setting.
Phoebe also didn’t know she spoke Italian until she asked Joey’s Grandma if she wanted something to drink. So the french could also just be like that 😂
I think it’s cool they notice things like this, but did you know IRL Lisa Kudrow is crazy smart! She went to a High School where you only speak French (Jodie Foster also went there). From my understanding to get into this high school is like getting into Harvard. She’s freaking AMAZING!
No but she was clear on knowing French
Every time I see one of these they always talk about the inconsistency of Ross and Rachels's birthdays but never Phoebe's. "The one with Frank Jr." she says her birthday is February 16th, but "The one with Phoebe's Birthday Dinner" takes place on Halloween which was supposedly a few days after her Birthday because that was the only day they could get a reservation.
Number 12 It explained when she learnt French in
The One With The Rumor. Phoebe: "I’m sorry. I never got to be in a club. I didn’t go to high school, but three of us would meet behind a dumpster to learn French. Bonjour."
The one with Rachel's necklace, you can actually see the necklace hanging off of the tray. It must have fallen off.
I’ve recently noticed a couple of others… when Joey says he can drink a gallon of milk in 10 seconds, I’ve timed it, that’s a loooong 10 seconds… and of course he spills most of it.
And, when Monica and Chandler are trying for a baby and Monica says they’ve been trying for “over a year” however they only started trying when Emma was born, and she didn’t have her 1st birthday until the next season, quite a few episodes later.
I watch it too much. Haha
the "gallon of milk in 10 seconds" it's not supposed to work and they kept Joey (Matt LeBlanc) going past 10 seconds for the sake of comedy.
The one that always got me was when they had the Ms Pacman machine. Chandler plays so much his hand is clawed and he keeps referring to it. Yet in between the times he references it and they're all talking normally both of his hands are perfectly normal.
😆 yes, even right after saying it, he then gestures to the machine with said immovable hand lol
I think that's just Chandler trying to be funny 😂
About the stain on Phoebe's dress, the makers said in the reunion that they had to shoot some parts of that episode later because Joey got a fracture during that scene, and they shot the rest of the episode after he fully recovered.
Shoulder dislocation
Im a baker and Ive always noticed how Monica’s stand mixer keeps changing color from black to light green and yellow😂
I remember one when Monica writes a lot of possible uses for Phoebe to use for a van they get to start a catering business or something like that, and you can clearly see a lot of same sentences written on the pad over and over and over, that always takes me out of it lol.
In another episode it is revealed that Phoebe used to meet up with other homeless friends behind a dumpster to learn french together.
The One With The Rumor: "Phoebe: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I never got to be in a club. I-I didn’t go to high school, but three of us would meet behind a dumpster to learn French. Bonjour."
I guess Phoebe understands it, but she just made a move on him to pretend that she didn't know it.
There's also the early episode where Phoebe is telling Rachel about Pablo hitting on her - Rachel grabs the paper towel in the kitchen. In the scene the paper towels go with her to the table, as the scene goes back and forth, sometimes you can see the trail of paper towel and sometimes she is holding one paper towel and there is no trail.
8:50 That is so true the friends writers said on DVD commentary that they made mistakes because they didn't have a book that thay could of written stuff down & go back & look at it.
Its amazing how the shows catch your full attention that you miss these things, i just noticed the fake Monica one
Actually, I watched so many times the episode when Joey is trying to find that lives in Ross's building but never noticed that change of shirts...
i just remember when chandler said that he can't smile when he took a pricture. BUT he can smile when the early season when he and janice celebrate chrisas in monica's apartment and ross the one who took a picture of them😮
In one episode chandler says he's allergic to dogs but actually scared of them, the one where pheobe is taking care of a fri3nds dog and before that one another episode phoebe asks if Chandler and Monica would want to watch 3 dogs and chandler says yes but it was the triplets.
Hah! Those clips of Chandler where he first looks like an extra from the set of Cats, then an extra from the set of Miami Vice! Comedy gold!
The episode where Phoebe's Grandma dies, in the cold open Monica runs in and says she just saw two people having sex in a car. She was wearing a leather jacket, but in the next cut she was wearing a denim jacket... and then again back to the leather jacket. I've watched this show all the way through dozens of times and never noticed any of the ones on your list, nor the one I just described (which I only noticed the last time I watched it through). Crazy. Just shows that when you have a brilliantly written and acted show, continuity doesn't matter, lol. 🤣😂
The episode where joey has an audition and keeps needing to pee, he goes to Monica's fridge and gets out like juices and stuff, next second he has cans of drink- that one always stood out to me.
About the disappearing necklace, it's actually hanging on the tray when Rachel is not wearing it (see @11:29).
The necklace fell off of Rachel
You can see it on her tray. I noticed that while watching the episode years ago, just Synge how it fell off…. Haha
I don't even realize that Joey outfit was change when Ross open the door. I've been watching the series more than 4th time (for all 10 season)
I can honestly say that I didn't spot these in Friends, but I do spot differences in loads of other movies, including big blockbuster ones too. And yes, I'm afraid to say that they irk me somewhat 🧐.
Another one related to the birthdays is Phoebe’s birthday. She mentioned to her brother that her birthday is in February. Then she has her birthday party on Halloween in one of the later seasons.
I just notice Emma Geller Green : mean EGG 😊😂
theres a scene in monica and ross' parent's wedding ann where ross and rachel are talking to his dad and there was a weird diffent guy as a stand in when they kept shiftng shots between them. that was pretty weird
Dont care about the errors... I am not watching the show to nit pick at it... I am watching it to be entertained and relax and have a good time...
Same here
With number 9 you can actually see the necklace on the tray when it's not on her neck 😂
I have never noticed any of the mess ups….. ever lol lol cause I’m to busy watching everyone’s faces lol 😂😂😂😂😂🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
In our house we call them magic clothes. I tried to find out how to get them but never could LOL LOL
The resolution of network tv in the 90’s was so bad we couldn’t have seen the extra or read the article 😂
I was always amazed by people noticing such little details. I think I wouldn’t notice if an elephant appeared in the room.
In Number 9 you can see the necklace dangling from the tray in Rachel's hand. I assume the necklace broke during one of the takes. You can see it when she says, "Oh well, isn't that lovely."
Thank For The Video 🙊🤯🥰💕😍👍
Other mistakes are Ross' hallway. There's many times a wall next to his door, indicating his appt is at the end of the hallway. But in several episodes, the hallway is extended, as in when Rachel is sitting on the floor outside his apartment waiting for Ross to return home so she an tell him she's pregnant.
Nobody is perfect ! All in all, a delicious series !!!
the necklace actually fell on the tray to the right lol
This was so messy and I didn't even realize 😂
After watching this show over and over again, I guess it was sooo funny that I didn't even notice most of the mistakes. 👍
The One Where No One's Ready is, in my opinion. Friend's best episode. It's like a mini theater play, all in the same space, great script, great acting., funny jokes, great dynamics. The first time I saw it, I was baffled by how well crafted that episode is.
Haha!!!! These are great❤
I agree with Chandler didn’t recognize Rachel one
Don't forget when Rachel was pregnant for over a year!
One episode no one catches the mistake in...was Ross bachelor party when the ring was "stolen" and they confronted the stripper, you can see joey in the backround laughing behind ross
rip matthew perry
An even bigger discrepancy with Ross' birthday is from episode #4 when the guys invite him to the hockey game. They tell him it's for his birthday. He replies that his birthday was 7 months earlier. Then they say the date is October 20th, so that would put his birthday in March.
sometimes continuity errors are inevitable due to editing for better flow or other options.
sometimes.
The episode with Phoebe 's stain was when Matt Lablac pull his shoulder out of the socket. So it was shot at a different times.
I noticed the one where Chandler forgot who Rachel is.
The writer's said in DVD commentary for the one with all the thanksgivings thay forgot Rachel and Chandler hadn't known each other in the pilot. But that doesn't explain season 3 the one with the flashbacks.
Joey’s sweater isn’t clean…the goo is just dried, as you can see in the angles & lighting differences, from scene to scene. Remember, studio lightning is intense and hot….and it was probably 5 takes or more to film the whole scene.
another one: During the wedding in England, there were a some dialogue slightly referring it as Ross' first wedding, like their mom referring to it the "only" big day they'll ever experience. Did Ross and Carol have a wedding at the City Hall?
You'd think with their budget continuity wouldn't be an issue? Wish Id been an editor or dramaturg. Id be so rich and no mistakes 😂
I can only imagine the tough work you must have had to notice each mistake
I've got another one for you: Season 7, "The one with Monica and Chandler's Wedding - Part 2", Ross and Phoebe find Chandler hiding in his office, but the name on the door doesn't say "Chandler Bing", it says "Mike Smith"!
Explanation for the stain on Phoebe's dress: In the episode, Joey and Chandler are fighting over the chair. In one scene Joey runs to jump into the chair, however Matt LeBlanc actually ended up dislocating his shoulder on the 4th take for the scene when he tripped over the table and hit the chair. Because of this, they wrote his injury into the season in the next episode and waited until he was fully healed to finish shooting that episode. This was revealed in the Friends Reunion in 2021. It was over the span of a few weeks so it made it hard to get the costumes exactly right
You didnt notice the mistake in the shot in Monicas resturant kitchen, when Phoebe is talking to Tim the camera is on Tim and you can seen Monicas "yelling" jar in the background on a shelf (full of money i might add) the camera moves to Phoebe and back to Tim and the jar is gone. Also one that always gets me is that in Season 7 Ross is says he doesnt like ice cream because its too cold and it hurts his teeth. But in previous episdoes we have seen Ross on camera enjoying Ice Cream
Despite or regardless of what happened I love FRIENDS ❤ maybe the odds made it perfect ❤
😂
Isn't everyone aware that FRIENDS shot every scene twice? They then use the best take of the two options. Sometimes they try different jokes and have even more options. This explains many of the "mistakes."
@11.28 the necklace is actually on the tray.
If you look on the tray that Rachel's holding - you can see the necklace hanging off of it.... Must have broken and they didn't realize it :)
ILYSM MSMOJO
As always great video butchered by voiceover and unnecessary commentary. Just merge the clips simple.
Maybe Joey ate all the food off of his sweater. I’ll put nothing pass Joey and food!
This is the second collection of mistakes in Friends that i watch and it doesn't mention a BIG ONE that is there in first plane at the beach house. Right there when they open the door...
I love Phoebe 🥰 ❤️
Phoebe didn’t go to high school, but some of them would meet behind the dumpster to learn French. The one with the rumor 😁
The paper for the engagement announcement also says, “The happy occasion was witnessed by a homeless guy”. 🤣
joey ate everything off of it! lol
This video is for the folks who haven't watched a new show in a long time.
Actually in 2:23 Joey acts like he has eaten the food on his shirt - so maybe that is a hidden joke
I love Rachel 😻 🥰
11:29 the necklace dangles off her tray.
They had an entire episode in season 1 centered around Ross and Carol's first time, Monica mentions it in the coffee house. Then in the very next episode when Joey and Monica go on a double date with Angela and Bob, who Monica thinks is Angela's brother, Angela says Bob is great in bed and Monica says "My brother never even told me when he lost his virginity." Also, on the topic of Ross's sex life, I believe there's an episode where Ross is naming all three people he's had sex with up to that point (Carol, Julie, and Rachel) and then in a later episode they talk about Ross having sex with the high school librarian! This show has always been all over the place. And I don't care :)
11:31 do you notice then when Rachel doesn’t have the necklace on its on the coffee tray she’s holding
In a season one they say that the date on that day was October 20 and that Ross's birthday was seven months ago...
What has befuddled me every time is that Joey doesn't understand Italian. When Rachel meets Pablo, the Italian, in one of the earlier seasons the boys make fun of him as they couldn't understand him. Why did Joey have this problem?
I also love you Monica 😍 ❣️
How about Ross bring 29 in season 1 and saying “I’ll have two divorces before I’m 30 in season 5”,
Chandler not knowing that Ross was in a band while in other seasons they say that they were in a band in college.
Ben just being phased out as the series progresses.
Also Rachel’s surname is written differently in different episodes Green/Greene.
I can say outside of the continuity of how characters met i wouldnt have noticed half of these
Jennifer Aniston was born on February 11, 1969. This makes her a social Aquarius. The detail was put in the show as a direct reference to Jennifer's real birthday.
The 1st big mistake was egregious & never again matched. In the pilot, Phobe is in two separate parts of the room at the same time!
The chain on Monica door changes length.
Most of the 'mistakes' are lame... Still good to see good clips of Friends... Always
they must have magic. things disapear and reapear mysteriously.
If there isn't any small mistake, it means that the whole thing is a big mistake 🎉
in idk what episode Phoebe says "i never went to highschool"
in another episode phoebe says "when i was in highschool"
There are too many of these story inconsistencies to count. How about the morning after in Vegas where suddenly the ink on Ross and Rachel’s faces was gone. It supposedly doesn’t wash off.
Did you see the towel on the tray go from up and down or folded to not, in Number 9 when Rachel is talking to Ross and Julie?
So how come George and Lorraine weren’t able to recognize their son Marty, who looks like Calvin Klein in Back to the Future?🤔⏰
This video made me realize that I'm not very observant.
The one with the unagi has a mistake while ross was explaining unagi to rachel and phoebes, on the couch in the cafe, phoebe put hand under her chin in a shot and other shot her hands are down
Wow! 😂😂😂
