I watched the one with Ross's sandwich yesterday and there's some huge continuity errors.
At the start Joey steps in and claims that the underwear found in Monica's apartment was his but infact they were Chandlers and in the final scene, it's somehow been changed so that it was joey's underwear in Monica's apartment. |

In TOW all the thanksgivings,
When Phoebe tells the story of the time Joey got the turkey stuck on his head. Rachel is hearing the story for the first time. That episode was 1999, it's hard to believe that story wouldn't have come up at some point before 1999. Oh god I really need a life

I haven't seen the episode in a while but wasn't that around the time Monica and Chandler were hiding their relationship and Joey was the only one that knew. He pretended the underwear was his so the others didn't find out about the relationship.

On this topic when the gang is at the beach Chandler spends the whole time trying to convince Monica that he would be a great boyfriend and Monica shows no interest.
Now granted Monica and Chandler obviously developed feelings for each other later in London but why was Chandler suddenly trying to convince Monica how good a boyfriend he'd be for her? He'd never shown any interest in being with her previously and it just seems an out of the blue thing for him to do. They were both just joshing around really, maybe a bit of mild flirting. More revealing was the time Chandler was sleeping on her sofa because he did not want to listen to Joey and Cathy doing it, and she bent over to watch him sleeping for a few seconds. |

When it was suddenly revealed that when Monica hooked up with Chandler, she had actually been wanting to sleep with Joey.
Firstly, it completely destroys the idea of a charming romance between Monica and Chandler. Secondly, it completely destroys the idea of a friendship of equals between Joey and Chandler. Thirdly, quite clearly in the original episode that was not what was intended, and Chandler and Monica had a heart-to-heart in the reception just before. Fourthly, it was just not very likely, unless the female cast members were constantly trying to sleep with Joey every time they felt a bit down in the dumps. |

It's as bad an episode as Joey speaking french and Phoebe's mother the cat for me
Here is one from me, Why did Chandler bring Zak(?) home to see if Monica wanted him as a sperm donor when Monica had her hostile uterus and so they still would have almost no chance even with a donor? |

The time when Richard and Monica first started dating and Jack accidentally makes a joke about trading his Porsche for Monica is just creepy

The Phoebe's mother is in the cat episode annoys me too but only for the way everyone treats Ross because of it. He was the only one who told Phoebe straight when everyone was too scared to. And also after Phoebe has a go at Ross for telling her that the cat belonged to a little girl and was not her mother and Rachel made Ross apologise to the cat, I was on Ross's side.
And the fact that episode was done the way it was because one of the writers lost her mother annoys me no end too |

When you consider Jack didn't realise he was talking about his own daughter, it really isn't creepy.

Yea i wasn't a Ross fan but on this occasion he was thrown under the bus for some reason

I think Ross was right in theory but very insensitive about it

I disagree. While there were many times Ross was a bit of a douche, this was not one of them. Phoebe was a total fruit loop in this episode.

I dunno I think Ross took out his anger at the other friends for not telling Phoebe on Phoebe herself, humiliating her in front of the others who already knew and Phoebe was hearing it for the first time.
She did the right thing after Ross apologised so Ross was right to tell her but he could've been kinder to her |

More revealing was the time Chandler was sleeping on her sofa because he did not want to listen to Joey and Cathy doing it, and she bent over to watch him sleeping for a few seconds. With the Cathy storyline in season 4, Monica lets a rather deflated Chandler into the apartment because he doesn't want to listen to Joey and Cathy. No watching him sleeping in that one. |
