about the glaring inconsistencies in FRIENDS..

[IfyouseeRitaMoreno]

I mean, for starters does Phoebe speak Italian or not?

When Joey's nonna comes to watch him on TV, Phoebe appears to speak fluent Italian .... yet... in the episode where Pervy Paulo calls her "bellissima" she appears not to understand...

And don't get me started on the timeline before they met....

Ahhhh just take friends for what it is. It was great in its day and still is now. If you sat and picked it apart (and many have) I am sure there are loads of inconsistencies. It’s still the best show ever!

There was a Red Dwarf outtakes video years ago where Craig Charles answered questions about inconsistencies. It was brilliant.

“This time Rimmer said he failed his engineering exam 13 times, but then in another conversation he said 8 times, and then another one it was 22 times, why is this?”
“Well... because... he couldn’t count! Why do you think he failed!”

If you google “Friends Gripes” you’ll find a thread on another website it discusses a lot of them it’s about 5 years long 😂😂😂 But fun to read

The before they were Friends inconsistencies wind me up the most!

Two minor ones that have always bugged me.

Phoebe is a vegetarian and against all kinds of animal cruelty yet according to the episode with her baby shower she's always longed for leather trousers.

Monica and Chandler have no idea they are having twins but they have a double buggy

I know! I mean had Rachel met Chandler before or not? She seems not to in episode one then... it turns out they'd kissed and fantasized about each other..

there are loads of time line things wrong ie how long exactly was Rachel pregnant with Emma but originally people wouldn't have been binge watching the episodes you just have to suspend reality.

Phoebe the vegetarian tucking into the specifically mentioned non-vegetarian lasagne after Paulo assaulted her.

Iv been binge watching it on Netflix and so they're more noticeable. Like when chandler all the sudden hates dogs but not long before him and Monica discuss their future and it involves getting a dog. Why would he not mention then that's he's "allergic"

Ross birthday changes 3 times.
Does Ross like ice cream or Not?

I may or not have read the buzzfeed article on the errors in friends.

It occurred to me for the first time this morning, after watching friends for years, that Ben wasn’t at Ross’ wedding to Emily and nobody bothered to ask why his son wasn’t invited...

When did Phoebe ever speak Italian?

I remember her speaking French but not Italian?

I agree there are inconsistencies but @NoFucksImAQueen he says he wants to get a cat when discussing future not a dog.

She spoke Italian to joeys grandmother. But she was as surprised as anyone
'Phoebe, you speak Italian? '
'Apparently'

One that I noticed last night was when Rachel was in hospital having Emma she mentioned she had been there 17 hours. Her and Ross looked exhausted but everyone else was wide awake. Then after she gave birth the rest come into the room to see her still looking fresh and in the same clothes and Chandler mentions "47 hours later she's here".

Not an error as such but did anyone notice that the midwife helping carol give birth to Ben ends up being joeys agent Estelle ?
Also Phoebes brother once donated a condom in her guitar case and ran back to get it!

RLOU I knew both of those! friends geek that I am--

To be fair she never says she can speak Italian
It’s a tv programme.
Also yabu because Friends is the almighty. Hth

I find the laugh track sounds a bit dated now (even though I think there was a live audience too?!), but you can see clips on YouTube of the show without the laughter and it's really... awkward!!

Yes but she says... you meant a dog right and he agrees. Maybe I'm overthinking it
