View Full Version : Contradictions

I have noticed that a lot of things that happen in episodes contradict other thing in previous episodes. Here are some that I thought of.

According to "The One With The Flashback" (Season 3), Joey first moves in with Chandler in 1993, but according "The One With Thanksgiving Flashbacks" (Season 5), Joey's first Thanksgiving with the Friends was in 1992.

According to "The One With George Stephanapolous" (Season 1), Ross said that he only has sex with one woman in his life (Carol). But in "The One With Phoebe's Cookies" (Season 7), Ross reveals that he had sex with the cleaning lady in college.

Can anyone else think of any more?

Oh yeah, and this one isn't a contradiction, but in "The One With The Baby On The Bus", when Phoebe is playing her guitar outside of Central Perk, Giovonni Ribisi plays a guy who accidentally dropped a condom in her guitar case, but a year later Giovonni Ribisi would take on the role of Phoebe's half brother, Frank Jr.

The episode TOW the Baby on the Bus, Pheobe asks Stephanie if she knows A major and D minor, but later on in the series in the episode TOW all the resoulutions when she is teachin Joey how to play the guitar she says that sdh dosn't know the actual names of the chordes so she makes up names for the way her hand look when she plays them.

In the episode TOW the giant poking device, Monica bangs Ben's head against the ceiling and he starts saying Monica bang, at least thats what they said he said. If u listen very carefully you can hear that he is actually saying "Monica Bing". It sounds like Ben is physcic!

In TOW The Flashback Chandler and Rachel don't know eachother....but they should cuz they spent Thanksgiving 87 and 88 together! Even if we say that forget about eachother I think when Monica called her over she would have mentioned something like that to Chandler. Also she had a crush on him ((remember she dreamt about the whole fonzie-jukebox thing)) which she contradicts in TOW The Engagement Picture ((i think thats what its called))

If "The Facts Of Life" were all about you, why weren't u ever on the show?

It doesn't really count but they never said Chandlers Dad (Kathleen Turner) was a crossdresser they just said that he/she/it was Gay.

I remember Chandler telling everyone at Thanksgiving one year about his crossdressing, drag queen dad. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

I heard the one with Ben too! I thought it was weird.
I have another one, in the first few ep's where Ross finds out that Carol is a leasbain and Joey tells him that their are "more fish in the sea" but with ice-cream.
"There are lots of flavours to choose from, Ross. Just Grab a spoon!"
So Ross asks Rachel out - i think he did or did he just casually bring it up- and then later in the show when monica and chandler are together( not so secretly) ross admits that he hates ice-cream!

and another one where monoica and chandler are together, pheobe asks them to take care of 3 gorgeous puppies for a day but then shows up with alice and frank's triplets. later chandler admits that he is afraid of dogs and puppies.
