Someone Needs To Clear Up These Friends Plot Holes
Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-TheBinger
Friends is one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time. Even 25 years after it premiered, it’s still a go-to binge for people everywhere. That doesn’t mean Friends didn’t include a mistake or two. Over 10 seasons, there were bound to be some inconsistencies, plot holes, and errors. In this video, we’re counting down some of the biggest mistakes on Friends.
The mistakes we’re talking about include plot holes involving Chandler’s ability to cry, Phoebe’s ability to speak French, whether Ross likes ice cream or not, and why Rachel and Chandler seem to have no memory of each other when they meet in the pilot. We’re also looking at some mysteries like how does the lock on Monica’s apartment door work, what’s the last name of that guy Rachel almost married, how is Rachel’s last name spelled, and where is Monica’s apartment. Finally we’ll look at some continuity errors like the times Monica and Rachel were replaced and that other time when Phoebe managed to be two places at once.
Some of these mistakes are real head-scratchers. In the end though, they don’t take anything away from the fun of Friends. However, they may give you something extra to look for on your next re-watch.
Phoebe being in two places at once is easy...the other one was Ursula 😂 (obviously jk)
what does jk mean??
suzycreamcheesez just kidding
@@aliciaburggraeve8660 mahalo!!
Beth B thats where my mind went too 😂
When Phoebe talks to Ursula, you see an other women's back
I dont need this negativity in my life
😂
Same 😩👏🏼
Yup
Nikoline Vrist Hansen hahahaha!!!...
Right!
It’s possible that Phoebe pretended not to know the word “sous” in order to flirt and make conversation with him
I'm pretty sure this is the case.
that's what I thought when I noticed
Its possible
parris70 exactly ma thoughts.
Or she took a French class?¿?¿
Did anyone notice ? In one episode Phoebe was singing in the street and one stranger gave her a condom instead of a dollar by mistake. And that same guy became /acted her brother in later seasons.
What season and episode pls. I need to watch it again hahahahaha
@@kriziamarie6524 It's in the episode when Gunther wanted Rachel to fire Phoebe from the Central Perk, so if Rachel was still working there, it should be season 1 or 2 idk
Yes! There's a famous guest actor whos played 2 different characters too
i did notice that one!
@@jrcs1347 In season 1 when Carol gives birth to Ben, the nurse in the delivery room is Joey's agent Estelle
For Rachel's name - it seems in the context of the show it is 'Greene' - it's very common when you order anything at the store or over the phone and tell them your name, that it is misspelled by the staff there. Honestly her name being 'Green' on the cake box feels more legit than an continuity issue lol.
I agree. I've had my name misspelled on food delivery many times.
And did anyone notice this? - the narrator of this video says (at 8:32) that “Ross goes with this spelling (Greene) when he sends a wedding invitation to his wedding to Rachel.” Duh, it’s his wedding to Emily.
Point is, you can find thousands of mistakes and I'll still think this is the best show in television.
Me too
Me too!
It’s my favorite
Same
FACT!!!
Maybe Ross can’t eat ice cream because of his Teeth whitening incident. 😂
Oh my lord yep xD
“IM WIERD?! YOU HAVE A BLACK LIGHT IN 1998!!”
😂
@@freyaleigh9903 1999 :)
Ross also suggested getting frozen yogurt when Rachel told him they needed a break.
I’m shocked that no one else noticed that Chandler said I love you to Monica for the first time twice.
What
Really?
When? When (other than the turkey head?)
@@thebrideofghostface he said that he was in love with monica when phoebe was pretending to be attracted to him.....
I noticed just the other day and i was so confused
One of the biggest plot holes (which I never really see anyone mention) is on the outside shots of the apartment, you can never see the famous balcony they have. You could just say it may just be on the other side of the building, but in the episode where Rachel throws all of Palos clothes from the balcony because he cheats, the clothes fall down the same side of the outside shot of the building, however it still isn’t visible.
FRRR!!! I’ve noticed this so many times
An I the only one who doesn’t think these mistakes matter
Ro Ro nope
I don't care about the mistakes either
No
It never does
seriously, who cares?
I don't think anybody was ever confused about how Monica could afford the apartment...it was established in the show that it was her grandmother's.
DevilboyScooby indeed. And rent control.
Yeah.. It was a frekkin' steal!
You are right
Yeah
its not reall I watched all of them after the video and there all fake pheope in two places that's a coffe house mug so its edited byy this plonker of a youtuber
It doesn’t matter how many mistakes, the show is fantastic
You missed a big one: Ross and Rachel’s “first kiss” wasn’t their first kiss. In an earlier episode he goes with her to the laundry mat and she kisses him. AAAND Ross thought he kissed Rachel at a college party but it was Monica… sooo a couple loop holes there 😂
Do they refer to the coffee house kiss as their first kiss? I remember them saying they kissed but never that it was the first
@@angelahetrick9232 that happened after. The laundry detergent episode I think
Yess finally someone says thatt
plot hole. Loop hole is different.
Ben was living the suite life my man 😏
Lmao
Suite not suit, that's a tux
shannie Sayers haha!!!!
Mikayla Maldonado making a joke with word play, Ben is Cole Sprouse who played a character on Suite life on deck. And also Suite is another word for really good or fantastic.
@@squiggles7921 ur so cringe. shut up, everyone knows that
I can't believe I've never noticed the Monica and Rachel body swapping before
its because of the picture size on todays tvs. when it was originally broadcast you wouldnt have seen them. they would have just been placed there for the shot so thr actors eyes were.focused on a point.
NightStar ya it’s rly obvious
James Sullivan Oh That makes a lot of sense lol. I was so confused as to why they would need body doubles for a show like this.
Is it not just if they needed a part filmed but they had to stay off that day
I thought it would have been like an easter egg 😂
The one thing that bugged me is that in the last season, when Rachel says she is going to Paris and bringing Emma with her, Ross says nothing about his daughter being brought away (tough, he didn't want to move to England because he didn't want to be away from Ben)
I guess we know the favourite child then?
Because he was assuming he would go with Rachel (and thus with Emma) leaving Ben
i know!! i thought about it too
@@thebrideofghostface no he couldn't have been going because he was trying to stop her from going, why would he stop her from going if he was coming too?
@@lindasamba4816 I was saying that he was assuming that he would have to leave Ben to go with her, which is what she wanted to do. That's why he wasn't mentioning that Emma would be taken away, even if he would obviously be upset without her.
Doesn't matter. Still the best Sitcom ever. Watched it over a 1000 times and still binging.
Rachel says she doesn't smoke because her dad is a doctor, but her dad smokes cigars
@Leslie Knight it's in that episode where she says why she doesn't smoke.
He smokes cigarettes
To quote 100% of every parent ever: ''Do as I say, Not what I do.
Well he is addicted to them, doctors used to smoke a lot like nearly everyone else in the mid 20th century. Later he probably learned what cigarettes can do to your body and health and he taught Rachel to not to do the same. He can't stop smoking himself because he is addicted
Lola DUH
A HUGE one you missed was Monica's wedding dress changed. She tried on a dress in the pricey boutique, then fought over what she called "her dress" in the bargain sale scene which was a completely different dress, then later tried her dress on at home and it was the dress she had tried on in the boutique first.
Emily’s wedding dress changed too. Monica picked it up (and wore it), but then the dress Emily wears to the wedding is totally different.
@@TheKmcannon You're right. ✔ and I remember reading somewhere awhile back (maybe on IMDb?) that the reason why Emily's wedding dress changed was because Helen Baxendale (the actress who played Emily) was pregnant *in-real-life* in the episode where she & Ross got married, & she could no longer fit into the dress that Monica had picked up & tried on. It also said that the 'Emily' storyline was _supposed to be_ longer than what it was, but the writers had to shorten it because of Helen's pregnancy.
I noticed the dresses were different right away.. to funny
she had to give the dress she fought over back bc the girl who was fighting with her booked the swing kings on her wedding night. in order for her to get the swing king she wanted the dress back.
@@dianasayar5140 exactly
When you have Phebe in your series all the mistakes are just moo point, it does not matter.
Cow's opinion 😆
Brilliant🤣🤣🤣
It’s moo
It has always bothered me why in the first season Rachel doesn’t seem to know who Chandler is but later on we get to see that they did actually meet on several occasions while in the flashbacks.
Madelene Björklund it was Rachel lol she was super self involved in highschool. I can understand why she doesn’t remember, same with her sister Amy
Madelene Björklund yessssss!! I was waiting for that one too LOL!!! I was sooooo confused 🤷♀️
Suha Khalidi ahh yeah but hold up.. cause what about that episode flashback where Rachel actually kissed chandler at a college party!
Madelene Björklund maybe it’s is cuz she is self involved or the one at the party is cuz she is drunk maybe I’m not sure
IolandeMelody she even mentions that she’s super drunk when that scene first starts
I’ve always found their ages and birthdays confusing it’s always different
demi Same!
has no one noticed that Phoebe can speak fluent Italian to Joey's Grandmother in the episode where Joey is supposed appear on tv in law and order, but when Palo is dating Rachel in Season 1, there is no mention of Phoebe ability to apparently understand everything that Palo is saying(even thought she should)
Yugoslavia⁰t0ťť😅😊6th😂🎉ÿÿ🎉ù I vcf😂ggɓ😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂ÿÿ😂ÿÿùù⁷⁷6😊⁷7😊
Paolo
Actually when she was speaking Italian to Nonnie someone asked her "you can speak Italian?" And she replied "It seems like it" So she can't actually speak Italian
Has anyone noticed this : in season 5 episode 5 opening scene, Joey walks in on Chandler and Monica and then goes to the bathroom, then when Chandler opens the bathroom door he has fallen asleep on the "toilet". In this scene the toilet is right in front of the door, but all other shots of the bathroom shows it being on the right side which can't be directly seen from outside when the door is open.
Yes!! I noticed this too! So weird
The one that gets me the most is Rachel telling the Yeti dude that she doesn't sail, and then later teaches Joey to sail when he buys the boat, saying she's sailed her entire life.
Yeah, that really bugged me. 'I don't sail', 'I've sailed my whole life'
@@YOLO-sp5bi ooh, yah, 'do you sail?' 'no', that no meant she doesn't CURRENTLY sail. That actually makes sense Thanks^^
flaming corgis yes!!!!!!!! Same!
Have u know that chandler is missing a piece of a finger i think is the third finger i dont remember wich hand but check and see
@@sandyrosado8618 wrong. He's missing the tip of one of his toes. It's talked about in the flashback thanksgiving episode after Monica and Chandler have started dating.
Probably my favorite show of all time and always will be. Not just because of the nostalgia but I just genuinely love everything about it. There isn't a single season or episode I don't like. That right there is the perfect series...
When phoebe mentions she’s never been in a serious relationship when she first met Mike but she dated Gary pretty seriously over a few episodes and even moved in together (even if it’s for a day LOL) In S1 when they talk about their annoying habits like Phoebe biting her hair or Monica snorting when laughing - doesn’t ever come up after :/
Also... in the episode with joeys grandma pheobe knows how to speak italian and joey also understands italian, yet both didn’t understand what paolo was saying
Joey doesn’t speak fluent italian that’s why he actually can’t communicate properly to his grandma. Chandler even said joey only knows the curse words haha
Joey doesn’t speak fluent Italian that’s why he can communicate with his grandma properly and phoebe might of takin classes when she was homeless like she took classes about French behind the dumpster
so true
Yes and Phoebe also calls Joey’s date Erin (Kristin Davis) a stronso and says I guess Italian isn’t one of the 4 languages you speak
Funny, I always thought that Phoebe teaching Joey to speak French was a joke. Like it was something she barely knew better than Joey but that she was sure she could teach Joey just enough to make other people believe he was fluent in the language.
The one that ever really bugged me was Chandler and Rachel’s past
Yeah me too all the flashbacks don't add up
MEE tooo
Ale yeah ikr the locks they could have just unlocked them quickly first tho or maybe had a timer or something
yep same! especially in one episode when janice asked "if there was anytime they "almost" did it with each other" and we see Chandler hitting on rachel in the bar. RACHEL REMEMBER HE DROPPED A BALL FOR YOU !
Same
I thought the biggest mistake Friends ever made was the Rachel loves Joey story line, lol But no matter. Still one of the greatest shows ever on TV!
The one that's hilarious to me is in the e.r. with Rachel. Monica keeps asking for anther form while she's holding a big pencil with an eraser! 🤣🥴🤗🙋♀️
Joey is 29. Forever. WE HAD A DEAL!!
😂😂😂😂😂 I read that in his voice
Eglantine Lonperia yesss 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
omg i just watched that episode!! 😂😂
CORRECT
Or when Phoebe actually already met his brother Frank beforehand. When he dropped a condom in her guitar case and came back for it 😂
I KNOW!!!
Regina Sipos I read this in my head as Monica’s voice
@@tooblueforyouvlogs352 haha that was the intention!!♥️ :D
That’s not a mistake :)
I remember hearing that it’s bc Frank wasn’t even actually caster he was just a small role but then they liked him and he got a bigger role. Something like that 🤷🏻♀️
Phoebe learned how to speak French when she was a teenager on the streets in a “club” behind a dumpster. I’m just guessing she was nervous around him since he was a love interest.
What I'm always amazed at is that people can be visiting Monica's restaurant kitchen, casually walking in, but as anyone who works in a kitchen knows you have to wear a hair-net in food prep areas. Especially people like Phoebe with long hair. Even Monica doesn't always have her hair up and in the hat.
Yeah, remember the inspector(Phoebe was retracted to & dated), asked Monica where her hat was & she said in the kitchen, which he could have dinged her for, entering her kitchen without a head covering, but Phoebe & Janice both came in bare-headed, if you will.
Maybe chandler didn’t recognise Rachel bc she got a nose job
But chandler also saw Rachel when he got his toe chopped off and when they found each other in a bar before Central Perk and she had her nose job then.
omg XD
Best comment fr
Nah I think Rachel just forgot about chandler
hilare =)
Keeping Hugsy is not Joey's secret.. his secret is that Hugsy is his bed time pal..
@Klara L well, maybe, they do see that penguin toy everytime. But they just don't know that, that is Hugsy and he has a name and he is Joey's bedtime pal.
@@willem8175 Ya you are indeed a bitch.
ikr this video makes 0 sence.... tbh this video is a big mistake
@Klara L Hugsy appeared in the scenes after Joey mentioned him because he was then no longer a secret.
Rachel was taking down the Christmas lights while they were still on (plugged in). But seriously when we watched the episodes when they aired on TV, we paid attention to the dialogue and the characters. No one really bothered about these small errors!
I have one. The STORAGE DOOR near the balcony. When Rachel and Phoebe are looking for Monica's Christmas gifts they open the storage door and check it for gifts but few episodes later, where Monica hides her messiness in that closet, Chandler and Joey say that they've always checked the door and it was always locked ever since he has moved in and that they had always wondered what's behind it.
His secret is that he sleeps with hugsy, not that he owns a stuffy.
Joesph Tribianni maybe once he told everyone how he slept with hugsy he didn’t care to hide it anymore
Aditi Pai do you not have a comment on the fact that his name is joesph tribianni? 😂
Do you actually believe Joey Tribbiani can keep a secret?
Exactly
Phoebe said that even thought she didn't go to high school, her and some other people met behind a dumpster to learn French in the episode with Brad Pitt
@@houssein2632 I said in the episode with him in it
That one is easily debunked, it's not that hard to imagine she might have not realised 'sous' in that context comes from the French word, even if she did know the word.
I can't find the episode where she says it - but learning french can also mean kissing.. and learning it behind a dumpster and knowing Pheobe I think it is the last one
@@pretenditsagoodworld they were talking about why phoebe knows how to speak french
Houssein Darwiche ye they were saying it was the episode that had Brad Pitt in it
I’ve noticed most of these over the years, the apartment number, the backdrop of across the street, the flexible birthdays, but others in this video are easier to explain. Phoebe might know French but was trying to flirt with Tim, cos I can think of several examples where she speaks French. The door thing could be explained by the door usually being on a latch, and that latch clicking shut. This has actually happened to me! Chandlers crying can be explained by the fact he’s quite in touch with his feminine side so he’s portrayed as trying to seem emotionally stunted, when he really isn’t. Ben can be explained by the fact that he might go to see him, and they have blown all the budget on their salaries! Rachel’s surname can be explained by people getting spellings wrong. It’s pretty common in real life. But as for the rest of the video, yeah, there are a few mistakes. But hey, they’re only human. Even the scriptwriters.
fantastic points there!
I totally agree
And you can be fluent on another language, but that doesn't mean you will know all the words there is. She probably never heard of that specific word, and that's ok, nothing to do with her knowing or not the language.
I think the dorr thing is genuine mistake that door would get slapped shut and opened by someone minutes later there was no way it was on a latch
Same happened with Phoebe speaking Italian with Joey's grandmother, but when Paolo came around, she didn't understand him
Maybe Chandler did not recognise Rachel due to her nose job😂😂
And also when they met at the bar which became Central Perk afterwards.
she'd had the nose job by the second thanksgiving they met
@@tehseen.nasir11 No that was the parallel episode. It didn't actually happen in the friend's lives. It was showing if Ross was still married. if Monica was still overweight if Rachel got married to Barry, if Joey was still on Days of Our Lives and if Pheobe worked as a stock market employee (something like that I am not sure
@@thatdesikudi Wrong. You're thinking of the alternate universe episode (that didn't really happen) and he's talking about the episode where Janice asks if any of them ever hooked up with anyone else in the group (which was backstory that did happen to them). Remember Monica invited Joey in for lemonade, Ross was comforted by Phoebe, and Rachel fantasized about Chandler.
But Rachel should've recognized him
Name on the cake box proves nothing, as it was written by the baker who didn’t have to know the proper spelling
Exactly. It's just spellt like that for realism.
True i thought the same
The IMDB credits and the Cake box don’t mean anything I agree. Obviously Ross would know how to spell her last name and I doubt Rachel would let her name be spelled wrong on her office door.
But then still is it “Greene” or “Grene” ?
Nelli Hhffjdcfkfd Greene
Yes! You missed one that always gets me. When Phoebe is playing for tips, the actor who came by, later played her half-brother.
I always remember that one. He came looking for his condom. LOL
I honestly always thought that was an easter egg. They didn't know who the other one was so they were just strangers at the time. He still acts like the same guy. Kinda funny to think they had interacted but had no clue who the other was.
the only one of all of them i noticed, lol
When you said 25 years at the beginning of the video my heart kinda sank as I realized it's been that long. That's why I'm so happy they did a friends reunion. This is my favorite show, I love it.
In season 1 Joey talks about how he dated a girl with an Adam’s apple, but in later seasons Joey calls it a joeys apple and didn’t know it wasn’t named after that person.
Maybe her name was Adam
That what I think all the time!!!
I NOTICED THAT TOO!
Omg i thought i am the only one who recognised that
that was chandler, not joey
Number ten I’ve seen mentioned a lot, but even if Ross didn’t like ice cream, he still could eat it, he’s not allergic to ice cream.
I agree, i dont like ice cream but some time I eat a litte.
Or maybe after the stuff with Elizabeth he didn’t want to eat it anymore as it brought back bad memories? Lol 😂
When you got a young college girl like her going after you, you do things you would normally not like to do =P
I was thinking his reasons for not liking it has nothing to do with the taste. He could still enjoy the flavor and want some at times despite it hurting his teeth a bit.
Dolphin Dreamer yeh if his gf likes ice cream then he would eat it with her
I think one of the beauties of Friends is that although there was a loose thread tying it all together...it was genius that they made each episode a story in itself...without background. THAT to me, is perfect. You can watch any episode, and each one is a complete story in itself. Background stuff is helpful, but you can still enjoy a single episode without it. Another thing that never ceases to amaze me, is how 'un-obvious' it is to date it. I'm always amazed to remember how old the episode is...but it never feels dated.
This is fantastic. My husband notices inconsistencies on tv I never notice. It always amazes me. How can I not see what is right in front of me. Lol
When Ross said in season 1 that he’s only slept with one women in his whole life and that was carol but then a few seasons later chandler revealed that back in college Ross slept with the lady who cleans the dorms?
And the librarian
No I think he just kissed her
@@anonymousdrawer7956 he just kissed the librarian
He didn't want to tell his friends that and lied
Jasmine Luna if that about his 1st kiss, I think they found that time he kissed Monica , his sister.
Monica could afford it because the lease was in her grandmas name. Have u never watched friends 🤷♀️
Yes that's exactly what i was thinking. I remembered it being said in at least one if the episodes.
grandma didn't pay the rent though
ESiobhan L no she didn’t but because it was in her grandmas name she got it for less than it should of been.
Plus they had rent control. Also in an episode.
But wut he said is that in the pilot episode all he could think of is how she could afford this apartment, and if it is your first time watching friends there is no way you could know that she inherited the apartment from her grandma
It's Greene. The person making the entries in IMDB might not have known and I actually think having the box with the cake spell it "Green" makes sense as the bakery probably just put what they heard during the order on the phone.
And still I cry, to watch it all over again. One of the best television show ever in television♥️
The only mistake that F.R.I.E.N.D.S made was end😭
augusto arvista what do you mean?
claudia that they ended the show
True
claudia I mean the show should have continued. The show ended 1994-2004( 10 seasons
Wooooord!!!!
Chandler and Rachel also met for the "first time" when central perk was a bar.
They actually met when chandler was in college and he kissed rachel
Ahhhhhh. The one when Chandler try to hit on Rachel at the bar
The reason she probably didn’t Remember when they kissed is because she outright says “I am so drunk”
If I remember correctly, that was in Rachel’s daydream when she was driving her old friends home. I recall one of them saying, “Rach, you missed the exit! What were you thinking about?” To which Rachel replied “Barry.” She was actually thinking about having a one night stand with no strings attached. But that’s if you are referring to the whole one night stand thing. But Chandler overheard her saying she wanted a one night stand and ‘accidentally’ dropped a pool ball. That chance of Rachel remembering her short conversation with Chandler has the same chance as her remembering where Monica keeps the dust pan!😂 (I mean this in the nicest way possible. I know wayyyyyy too much about Friends.😂💘)
Temi Williams I said that too!
As for phoebe not knowing what sue means in french.. well, the guy was talking in English, so one tiny prefix in French could easily go unnoticed. Let alone, it was a "kitchen jargon" she couldn't have been familiar with so I don't think this "mistake" can be classified as one..
it's sous
3:35 They used stand-ins for those shots because most consumers had a 4:3 TV back then, or "fullscreen", whereas now almost every TV is a 16:9, or "widescreen". Once they released the remasters we got to see loads of stuff off to the side that the showrunners never expected anyone to see. Same reason there used to be a different disc for each aspect ratio of a film.
The one with Monica and Rachel "being replaced" is easily explained. Back then, the format was technically filmed in widescreen, but edited and broadcasted in 4:3 because that was the TV standard at the time (even the first DVD release was still in 4:3 if I remember correctly). Hence producers often used "unofficial" takes when they fitted better. Many times, when only one actor should redo a line, it was filmed opposite a random person just to get that one shot. Didn't matter because the counterpart was "lost" in the editing room. Only when this show get reworked to HD, they restored the widescreen footage from the original film and hence some of this slipped in. If many other 80s/90s show were big enough to be restored to HD like Friends, you'd find just this in many of them.
I dont really get what you just said and it doeant matter to me i just liked it coz of the amount of effort you put into it
didn't understand but I understand now :)
Thanks for the explanation :)
I just checked on my 4:3 DVD, and the random persons are indeed almost entirely outside the frame. We can barely see a bit of a noze, and the edge of a shirt.
Dude, you're like the Ross of 'Film Editing' world. Nerdy, but on a cool topic!👍
I never understood why Phoebe had to live on the streets when she was 14 after her mother passed away instead of living with her Grandma.
True
Good question!
Umm...
She also said to her friends : alot of things you don’t know about my past
In one episode of first season, she said something about her grandmother and her boyfriend being loud in their room. So she couldn’t sleep, and was actually sleeping in the coffee house. Probably that’s why.
Not even kidding but did anyone else literally know every one of these
Yeah...and much more.
The apartment use to be Monica's and Ross' Grandma's apartment. She had it for year and It was on rent control, They mention that on the last episode "Because of rent control this apartment was a steal" when Chandler is talking to the babies.
Pheobe learnt how to speak French in this clip “I never went to high school but there was a group of us who met up once a week behind the dumpster to learn French”
I thought that meant the teens were back there French kissing
what episode?
@@robinstreb She says "bonjour" after that sentence. So...I believe she actually learned french when she was younger.
@@abbie2540 wasn’t it that episode where Ross and will (?) had a Rachael hate club in high school. Phoebe wanted to join and said that line about not going to high school and meeting behind a dumpster.
At the end “Could these mistakes beeeee any more annoying Me: “could you beeeeee any more annoying”
@Gareth Porter I KNOW!
Délfia Martins 😂😂
Lamo frrr he got annoying af
I personally love the show and still was wondering how they had such huge plot holes. Some people say it didn't bug them but i'm very detail oriented, and have seen the series probably 20 times so you notice things lol
In the first season, Rachel was introduced to Chandler for the first time. In later seasons, we see flashbacks of Rachel with Chandler during their college days.
The whole “Green” “Greene” thing. When Rachel orders Emma’s cake under her last name, I’m sure the bakery just thought it was “Green”, not “Greene”
Yeah, you can't put any weight on the spelling of the cake
Wasn't part of that episode that the cake was wrong? so it could have been the wrong "green(e)"
@@whitneyhansen3581 No because Emma's picture was on it. But I think that a bakery would make the mistake of mispelling the name (like at Starbucks)
I THINK (think!!) it constantly changes in the credits throughout the seasons too..
My thought too.
Doesn’t matter. Friends was epic. These mistakes don’t matter at all.
They never said it did. 🙄 Stop being so picky
Friends IS epic.
The one where Monica opens the wedding gifts. Every time they change angles, some gifts are wrapped again, even after they've been unwrapped! Hahaha
1:22 Nope, Phoebe learned French when she was living on the street. So I assumed that she pretended that she didn't know french to start the conversation.
The people replacing Rachel and Monica became an issue with streaming services showing more screen than the original tv version
yes!! I was just going to comment this!
they could have just blurred the rest of the screen haha it was a lazy thing to do to leave it just like that
Always wondered why they were different people lol
Why were they replaced though? Actors day off?
@@Othellarie It could be that some of the actors were acting on different scenes at the time, but the one doing to scene with a double needs someone to make the conversation seem more realistic.
Phoebe saying she’s not allowed have a passport but flies to Barbados for the conference? 🧐
Omg I thought this too. And also it was really inconsistent because they never mentioned when everyone went to London that it was great that Phoebe was pregnant because she couldn’t fly anyways. And also in the last episodes when her and Ross bought airline tickets to catch up with Rachel. You need a passport to do that.
I've always had the impression that Phoebe says a lot of things that may not be true...
Ever heard of a fake passport? Phoebe IS a career criminal
And this is the pay back I get for watching the show 8 times over and over again. I knew all those. 😁
When Joey lists all the things Chandler did to upset him over the years, and he mentions everything apart from the time Chandler kissed his sister.
As for the "how Monica could afford the apartment" one they did explain that. The lease was under Monica's grandmother's name and stayed at a low price. But monica had to be careful because the Super or Downstairs neighbor (I cant remember which) threatened to get her evicted for illegal subletting.
it was janitor
Wasn’t the apartment owned by Mon’s Aunt or something
Yes, Monica was "subletting her grandmother's apartment" - real quote by Treeger. It was a rent control apartment that was probably rented by her grandmother more than a decade before at a much lower rent than the market.
It was her grandmother
Jinet Barba I remembered it had something to do with her dead Grandma and subletting it to her. I guess now reading your comment and seeing yours is correct I can delete mine. Since I was off a bit.
Also, Phoebe knows and doesn't know how to speak Italian. With Paolo and Joey's grandma
Oh yes I was just looking up comments if anyone noticed this one, hehe 🤓 good job
Yeah
@@kristinabarkovic4525 mee too
But when she talks to joey’s grandma, they ask her if she speaks Italian and she says something like “apparently I do”, so it’s like she just made something up and it worked
One of the fan theories is that she actually had a secret affair with Paolo and picked up some Italian.
There is one incredible 'mistake' you missed. I don't consider it a mistake because it was intended but it is very interesting. All throughout the series, every three episodes the pictures on the wall in central perk change!
How about when Monica has a peeping tom? She watches her through the big bay window but Joey claims she is also watching him in his apartment! And he doesn't want to cook naked, they don't have a window in the kitchen. Joey and Chandlers apartment are not on the same side of the street! Big Mistake 😂😂😂
Another one: when Phoebe's brother is also a random stranger in a previous season
@Alexandra Margineanu OMG so do I
That's possible right? As they didn't know each other and cross paths. We can't expect them to remember their faces when they met again
Ankit Singh yes!! And actually that Made it cooler and more real!!
it's not really a mistake, they just showed him. They didn't know each other, her father left her mom and her when she was a baby before her mom killed herself, and they haven't seen each other since. Her father started a new family. Pheobe's brother is just there, but they don't know each other since they've never met. Then, when they actually meet as family, they don't remember each other since when they first ever met, it wasn't a memorable moment. To sum up, it wasn't a mistake, they just showed him there.
Alexandra Margineanu which season ??
New friends show in 2020 with 7friends in the cast: Ben, Emma, Frank Jr Jr, Chandler, Leslie, Erica and Jack
That would be EPIC ! And old cast being parents xd
Mateus_ 1702 OMG YESSS
Mateus_ 1702 yesssss
Mateus_ 1702 awwww this just gave me the chills! But it would be really hard to do without the parents ever showing...i wonder if some of them the OG cast would be down for it
ben is way older than the rest of them so i feel like that would be awkward to try and make that work, but maybe he could be a recurring character since he’s emma’s half brother. also, maybe even joey could be married and have a kid or kids and phoebe and mike might have kids and “be like the von trapp family” as she said in the finale and they could be characters too
Chandler hates Thanksgiving food because of his parents splitting. But in the episode where everyone arrives late to Thanksgiving he's more than happy to be involved in the cooking process AND is seen eating Thanksgiving food with the rest of the gang when Monica and Ross are outside hugging the football in the episode where they all play football.
They should’ve just changed the apartment numbers to 23 and 24. At least that way, there’s the plausible explanation that some prankster had stolen the twos from the doors in the first episodes.
In an earlier season Joey told the others that he kissed someone with an adam's apple. In a later season he did not seem to know that and called his a "joey's apple".
Finally, someone! :D
YES!!!!! This bugged me so much.
Rash Rajah good catch!
That's coz Joey became dumber as the series progressed
Similarly he told chandler and monica to name their first born joey. So that thers someone to carry his family name. Chandler then tells him his family name is tribbiani and joey behaved as if chandler was joking . Whereas in the episode where rachel was teaching joey how to sail a boat, joey said i am not a green i am a tribbiani and tribbianis quit. In another episode he insisted monica makes turkey for him. She warned him he wont be able to eat it all. To that he replied. I am a tribbiani. We may notbe world leaders or great thinkers but damn it we can eat. So he knew Tribbiani was his family name and not joey.
A lot of these 'Mistakes' refer to the pilot episode. Things change a lot between a pilot episode and the actual series broadcasting. They're not mistakes, they're just changed because it evolves the storyline. It's still one of the best comedy shows ever!
Ikr pilots are still the show settling in ITS BRAND NEW. I was thinking on the same track as you.
Friends, even with everything discussed here, was an AWESOME show. I have binge watched all seasons twice and after the first time through I watched the Reunion that they did a couple of years ago. And then I watched “Chandler’s” recent interview, discussing his alcohol and drug addictions. What an amazing actor to still be functional through all that was happening in his personal life. My hat is off to him and his co-stars. And I wish him nothing but good in his fight to maintain sobriety and for being so upfront and transparent now.
3:10 as shown in the very last episode, everyone secretly had a key to the apartment. Maybe Rachel just said "old key" but it was actually a new one
Monica's apartment has a balcony, but when they show the exterior of the building, there are no balconies
I never noticed that one
It’s coz the apartment was in a studio
Ooooooooh
I mean I’m pretty sure their apartment is on the side of the building and not the front bc the other building that the ugly naked guy was in was really close to there’s and there’s just had an ally between the two instead of a street. Also if you remember that Joey and chandlers windows are within arms reach of the building on their side you can see it whenever Joey sings with the guy that has the window across from his so it just makes sense that their apartment is on the side which you can see their are balconies or at least fire escapes outside each side apartment at 11:36 of this video
But notice how joey and Chandler don't have a balcony , clearly bc the exterior shows the side joey lives on
I always assumed that Monica knew Rachel was pretty self-absorbed & wouldn't remember Chandler. Haha
But why didn’t Chandler remember her?
pheobe wouldn’t originally be in two places at once because it was filmed for a square sized tv but then changed when most people had a normal tv
Maybe Phoebe speaks French and she just pretended not to to flirt with the chef. Maybe Ross doesn't like ice cream but he endures it to hide his insecurity about hating ice cream. Maybe everyone knows about joey's hugsy but the secret was his very childhood like relationship with hugsy.
Also in te last season when Rachel gets a job offer in Paris, Ross was so upset that she was leaving, but what about his daughter Emma, he didnt even mentioned her 😒
its because Emma was going to stay with Ross most of the time, but she would be flown to Paris by the people who offered Rachel a job so she could see her. They say it when Rachel first tells Ross about the offer.
@Alice Wonderland how so?
Alice Wonderland yeah bro it's true
I have met guys like this!! Scary enough.
It was addressed. Rachel said that the Gucci people said that they would pay for Ross to travel to see Emma or vice versa.
"when the package is this pretty! nobody even cares whats inside" - Joey Tribbiani (even if there were a million loopholes..the whole show was lit af...)
Debtanu Bhuiya haha love it!
Agreed. Watched it 20 times and I love even more every time
One thing about the door changing, is in one episode they need to have there door replaced when Joey and the others broke in when she was gone because they didn't have keys. I always thought that was the reason the number changed, but this makes more sense.
In the one with Brad Phoebe also tells the others how she and some other people would "learn French behind a dumpster", Chandler's glasses disappear in later seasons, Ben's hair color changes from black to blond, the boxes with Monica's childhood stuff move back to her parents' house and her old room was turned into a gym at two different times, in the ep where Joey and Chandler get a new table their apartment number changes from 19 back to 4, Ross keeps bragging about his PhD but in the one with the tan he asks the employee how "he would know when the spray-on tan would start when there's no light on the back wall" when the light was just a sign for him to close his eyes (this was explained to him a few minutes prior where again he would mention he had a PhD) and in the one with the mugging Phoebe was all of a sudden 14 when Ross was "a kid" but later they're all 30 at the same time
you can’t explain anything that has do to with phoebe. it’s just who she is 😂
Yess!! 😂😂 That’s just phoebe being phoebe.
It is as it is
The Rachel "Greene" mistake can be easily broken down: 1. IMDB: human error by whoever made the entry (IMDB data is not official data entered by someone who actually worked on the show) 2. Rachel's name on the door: correct, Greene (done on purpose since since her office would know how to spell her name for the nameplate) 3. Rachel's name on the envelope: correct, Greene (also done on purpose since of course Ross would know how to spell Rachel's last name) 4. Rachel's name on the cake box: incorrect because it was written by the cake makers and they could have easily assumed there wasn't an "E" at the end when Rachel ordered the cake In short, the "Greene" issue isn't such a big deal.
BOOM! (that was obvious except to the TheBinger apparently.)
My thoughts exactly but had it of been Starbucks doing her a coffee it would be Greine
yes, it's also spelled with e in TOW Rachel has a baby.
My same thoughts. My maiden name is Greene. It was constantly misspelled.
Yep, my name is spelled "Karin", but whenever I give it to a place where it really doesn't matter, it is always spelled, "Karen".
4:05 I actually caught that one and screenshotted it when I watching the episode!!!! I thought I was just seeing things 😂
3:37 by the way, once I was watching an episode with Monica and Ross's parents, and as they were talking, suddenly while Monica was talking a COMPLETELY different man was shown as her father, he was so different that even he had glasses. Be careful, Friends! 😂
The weirdest thing was that Carol was a whole diffrent actresse in the pilot 🧐
I think it was because she wanted a role with more time on screen
Yah it’s because the first one demanded a bigger role so she was immediately replaced
The first actress left because she didn't think friends would get big. She was so wrong
that happens though, people might decide they actually dont want to be in the show - the pilot is to see whether people like it...
I know I actually noticed that the first time I ever watched friends
