These hilarious memes point them out."],"attrs_boilerpipe_text":"There are very few sitcoms that ended fourteen years ago that are still watched as regularly as  Friends  is today. The classic nineties sitcom still has a large cult following and, mostly thanks to Netflix, younger people are still being introduced to the series. These six friends and their funny antics still make me laugh, despite me having watched the series start to finish for at least ten times. But the trouble with making something so incredibly popular as  Friends  is that people start to notice things. When you’re on your third or fourth binge watch, you realize that small things don’t add up, or someone making a joke that contradicts something that happened three years earlier. It’s understandable, really. When you’re writing a show for ten years, some things are going to be forgotten and small details slip through the cracks. Even if there was someone in charge of continuity or editing, Friends had a lot of details and characters to keep track of, particularly in it’s last few seasons. Besides, in the real world, people change. We gain new views or opinions, along with a new perspective on things we went through, but our memories also fade or change with time. Nevertheless, if you’re being watched for ten years, people are going to notice how much you’ve changed! So here are twenty-five memes, showing moments in  Friends  that just don’t make any sense. 25  \n                            The One With Monica’s New Apartment\n                     Did you ever notice that when Monica moved apartments in season one, her new place looked a lot like her old place? “Ha!” I hear you cry, Monica didn’t move until season four when she and Rachel switched apartments with the guys. But if she’s always been in the same apartment, then how come the number on her door suddenly changed from five to twenty? This is because the creators of the series realized, a little too late, that it didn’t make much sense for an apartment on an upper floor of a skyscraper to be as little as five, so they switched it to twenty hoping we wouldn’t notice. Except we did! Similarly, Chandler and Joey’s apartment changed from four to nineteen. I guess they cut the one where the Friends slipped through a parallel dimensional time slip or something! 24  \n                            The One Where Rachel And Chandler Forget\n                     This is a continuity error that kept on getting worse and worse as the series went on. When Rachel first joins the gang in the pilot, Monica introduces her to Chandler and the shake hands as if it were the first time they were meeting. Later in season three, we see a flashback where Monica and Chandler run into Rachel at an establishment. They exchange some light flirtation before Monica introduces them. That’s not so bad, you say. They might not remember a small interaction like this. That’s all well and good until we get to season five and it’s revealed that they spent not one, but two Thanksgivings together at Monica’s parents' house! Then in season ten, Monica and Rachel attend a party at Ross and Chandler’s college where Rachel and Chandler, that’s right, kiss! How do you forget a person like that? 23  \n                            The One With The Long Pregnancy\n                     Carol is Ross’s ex-wife whom he divorced shortly before the series began, after realizing that she is a lesbian. In the second episode of the series, Carol reveals that she is pregnant with Ross’s son Ben, much to Ross’s surprise. Well, if I were Ross, I would be surprised too. In the season three flashback it’s revealed that Ross found out about Carol’s affair a year before the series started! So how long was Carol pregnant for? When we first see her, she isn’t showing and acts like she has just found about the pregnancy. A fan theory suggests that Ross and Carol were together when she came to pick up the last of her things in the first episode, in an emotional goodbye that Susan accepted and understood. But it’s not something the creators or actors have ever confirmed. 22  \n                            The One Where They Don’t Notice The Twins\n                     One of the most emotional moments in the series is during the finale where Monica and Chandler finally become parents when Erica gives birth to their adopted twins Erica and Jack. A bit plot twist was that the couple didn’t know they were having twins until Erica was in labor. But how? How did the doctors never mention the word “twins” to Erica? Even so, the adoption agency would have seen the papers and checked in to make sure Monica and Chandler were prepared. And even if you ignore all of that, the future parents stare at a sonogram of the babies. Given how pregnant Erica was when we met her, the twins could well have been visible in the picture. I smell a plot convenience. 21  \n                            The One With Joey’s Stains\n                     Sometimes, it’s not just the writers who miss things. Joey, as we know, is a messy eater and a child-like soul, who you just want to give a big, big hug. Except maybe not after he crashed into Monica’s Thanksgiving spread in season ten. After nagging Monica to cook them a Thanksgiving dinner, the friends turn up almost an hour late and are refused entry to the apartment. Events take place and Joey ends up getting stuck in the door, which results in him being covered in food! Even though Joey isn’t bothered by eating the splattered food directly off his sweater, I doubt that even Joey would have eaten this much food in such a short amount of time! Although maybe I’m being naive. 20  \n                            The One Where Ross Eats Ice Cream\n                     Ross is an odd person and is often the source of ridicule from his friends. One of his oddities is revealed in season seven, when Chandler tells the rest of the gang that Ross doesn’t like ice cream, with Ross reasoning that it’s too cold. This is a perfectly good reason to not like ice cream and if Ross had eaten it around his friends previously, in order to hide his distaste, then we might have understood. However, he eats it willingly on two separate occasions. Once with his little monkey Marcel, and again, just a season before his hate is revealed, on a date with college student Elizabeth. Sure, our tastes change, but it’s weird for the creators to put a preference on a friend who has already proved it wrong! 19  \n                            The One With Leather Pants\n                     When Phoebe is pregnant with her brother’s triplets, her friends try to cheer her up by throwing her a shower where she gets all sorts of presents she can use after her pregnancy is over. The shower backfires, but not because they got their vegetarian friend some leather pants. Despite being a vegetarian from the very beginning, the leather pants are described as something she has always wanted! Doesn’t make much sense, what with them being made out of animal and her always defending animals throughout the series. It’s certainly an odd thing for her to pine over! As a vegetarian myself, I know that leather is not vegetarian. The pants could be expensive synthetic leather, but they aren’t described as such, leaving the fans baffled. 18  \n                            The One With All The Birthdays\n                     This is something that has always baffled the fans. Apparently, the friends were all born in some kind of inconsistent time loop which gives they multiple birthdays. The main victim of the Birthday time slip is one Dr. Ross Geller, who twice declared his birthday, once in October and then December. He was also twenty-nine for three whole years, during seasons three, four and five. During which there are three Thanksgiving episodes. Ross, we’re all insecure about our ages, but you’re not fooling anyone at the stage. But Ross isn’t the only friend who can’t remember their birthday. When Phoebe meets her brother in The One with Frank Jr, she reveals that her birthday is February 16th, but later books a table for Halloween because the restaurant wasn’t free on her birthday. Maybe try another place, Phoebe? That place has a weird booking policy. 17  \n                            The One With The Walls\n                     An interesting fact about the show is that it was never filmed in New York, but at the Warner Bros studio in California. All the apartments were built sets and filmed in front of a studio evidence. The only episodes filmed outside California were the London episodes, which were so difficult to film that later episodes set in Barbados and Las Vegas, were filmed at the studios instead of on location. But with sets, particularly in the earlier seasons, comes errors. There are several occasions in the first few seasons where the sets cut off and it looks like the walls cut short, like in this shot here. It’s a small error that happens a lot in sitcoms, particularly in the nineties. But I’m too annoying to let that go. 16  \n                            The One With Rachel’s Name\n                     After being in love with Rachel since they were in high school, you’d think Ross would learn how to spell Rachel’s name. Despite being spelled “Green” in the credits, on her office door at Ralph Lauren and on her daughter’s cake box, Ross misspells Rachel’s surname as “Greene” on her invitation to his wedding. Perhaps this was him trying to convince himself that he didn’t love her or didn’t think that much about her, before his big name mistake at his wedding. But Ross isn’t the only one guilty of this as Rachel’s surname is spelled “Greene” when she works at Bloomingdales. Perhaps her boss made the mistake and Rachel was too scared to correct them. But that would only make Ross’ mistake even more jerkish!","attrs_markdown":"Menu\n\n[![TheGamer logo](https:\/\/static0.thegamerimages.com\/assets\/images\/tg-logo-full-colored-light.svg?v=3.0)](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/)\n\nSign in now\n\nClose\n\n- - [Guides](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/category\/game-guides\/)\n  - [Gaming News](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/category\/game-news\/)\n- - [Triple-A Games](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/aaa-games\/)\n    Submenu\n    - [Features](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/aaa-games\/features\/)\n    - [News](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/aaa-games\/news\/)\n    - [Lists](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/aaa-games\/lists\/)\n  - [Live-Service Games](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/live-service-games\/)\n    Submenu\n    - [Features](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/live-service-games\/features\/)\n    - [News](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/live-service-games\/news\/)\n    - [Lists](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/live-service-games\/lists\/)\n  - [Indie Games](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/indie-games\/)\n    Submenu\n    - [Features](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/indie-games\/features\/)\n    - [News](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/indie-games\/news\/)\n    - [Lists](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/indie-games\/lists\/)\n  - [Streaming](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/streaming\/)\n    Submenu\n    - [Features](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/streaming\/features\/)\n    - [News](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/streaming\/news\/)\n  - [Movies & Shows](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/movies-tv-anime\/)\n    Submenu\n    - [Features](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/movies-tv-anime\/features\/)\n    - [News](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/movies-tv-anime\/news\/)\n- [Videos](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/videos\/)\n- [Podcast](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/your-favorite-game-thegamer-podcast\/)\n- [Threads](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/threads\/)\n- - More Submenu\n    - [All Features](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/category\/tg-originals\/)\n    - [All Lists](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/category\/lists\/)\n    - [Explainers](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/category\/explainer\/)\n    - [Reviews & Previews](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/reviews-previews\/)\n    - [Tabletop](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/category\/tabletop\/)\n\n- [Sign in](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/funny-friends-memes-show-sense-plot-holes\/)\n- [Newsletter](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/page\/newsletter\/)\n\nMenu\n\n[![TheGamer logo](https:\/\/static0.thegamerimages.com\/assets\/images\/tg-logo-icon-colored-light.svg?v=3.0)](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/)\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\nMore Action\n\nSign in now\n\n[DK Bananza](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/tag\/donkey-kong-bananza\/)\n\n[Nintendo Switch 2](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/tag\/nintendo-switch-2\/)\n\n[Events](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/gaming-events-conventions-2025\/)\n\n[Release Dates](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/video-game-release-dates-2025\/)\n\nClose\n\n# 25 Hilarious Friends Memes That Show How It Makes No Sense\n![3](https:\/\/static0.thegamerimages.com\/assets\/images\/default-user.png)\n\nBy   [TG Staff](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/page\/about\/)\n\nPublished Apr 18, 2018\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\nLink copied to clipboard\n\n[![0344177\\_poster\\_w780.jpg](https:\/\/static1.thegamerimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/sharedimages\/2025\/06\/0344177_poster_w780.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=310&h=460&dpr=1.5)](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/tag\/friends\/)\n\n[Friends](https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/tag\/friends\/)\n\n10 stars\n\n9 stars\n\n8 stars\n\n7 stars\n\n6 stars\n\n5 stars\n\n4 stars\n\n3 stars\n\n2 stars\n\n1 star\n\nFollow\n\nFollowed\n\nLike\n\n[Sign in to your TheGamer account]()\n\n![](https:\/\/static1.thegamerimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/friends-haha-logic-2.jpg)\n\nThere are very few sitcoms that ended fourteen years ago that are still watched as regularly as *Friends* is today.

Meta Title	25 Hilarious Friends Memes That Show How It Makes No Sense
Meta Description	Friends was a show loved by many, but there's just a lot about it that doesn't make sense. These hilarious memes point them out.
Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	There are very few sitcoms that ended fourteen years ago that are still watched as regularly as Friends is today. The classic nineties sitcom still has a large cult following and, mostly thanks to Netflix, younger people are still being introduced to the series. These six friends and their funny antics still make me laugh, despite me having watched the series start to finish for at least ten times. But the trouble with making something so incredibly popular as Friends is that people start to notice things. When you’re on your third or fourth binge watch, you realize that small things don’t add up, or someone making a joke that contradicts something that happened three years earlier. It’s understandable, really. When you’re writing a show for ten years, some things are going to be forgotten and small details slip through the cracks. Even if there was someone in charge of continuity or editing, Friends had a lot of details and characters to keep track of, particularly in it’s last few seasons. Besides, in the real world, people change. We gain new views or opinions, along with a new perspective on things we went through, but our memories also fade or change with time. Nevertheless, if you’re being watched for ten years, people are going to notice how much you’ve changed! So here are twenty-five memes, showing moments in Friends that just don’t make any sense. 25 The One With Monica’s New Apartment Did you ever notice that when Monica moved apartments in season one, her new place looked a lot like her old place? “Ha!” I hear you cry, Monica didn’t move until season four when she and Rachel switched apartments with the guys. But if she’s always been in the same apartment, then how come the number on her door suddenly changed from five to twenty? This is because the creators of the series realized, a little too late, that it didn’t make much sense for an apartment on an upper floor of a skyscraper to be as little as five, so they switched it to twenty hoping we wouldn’t notice. Except we did! Similarly, Chandler and Joey’s apartment changed from four to nineteen. I guess they cut the one where the Friends slipped through a parallel dimensional time slip or something! 24 The One Where Rachel And Chandler Forget This is a continuity error that kept on getting worse and worse as the series went on. When Rachel first joins the gang in the pilot, Monica introduces her to Chandler and the shake hands as if it were the first time they were meeting. Later in season three, we see a flashback where Monica and Chandler run into Rachel at an establishment. They exchange some light flirtation before Monica introduces them. That’s not so bad, you say. They might not remember a small interaction like this. That’s all well and good until we get to season five and it’s revealed that they spent not one, but two Thanksgivings together at Monica’s parents' house! Then in season ten, Monica and Rachel attend a party at Ross and Chandler’s college where Rachel and Chandler, that’s right, kiss! How do you forget a person like that? 23 The One With The Long Pregnancy Carol is Ross’s ex-wife whom he divorced shortly before the series began, after realizing that she is a lesbian. In the second episode of the series, Carol reveals that she is pregnant with Ross’s son Ben, much to Ross’s surprise. Well, if I were Ross, I would be surprised too. In the season three flashback it’s revealed that Ross found out about Carol’s affair a year before the series started! So how long was Carol pregnant for? When we first see her, she isn’t showing and acts like she has just found about the pregnancy. A fan theory suggests that Ross and Carol were together when she came to pick up the last of her things in the first episode, in an emotional goodbye that Susan accepted and understood. But it’s not something the creators or actors have ever confirmed. 22 The One Where They Don’t Notice The Twins One of the most emotional moments in the series is during the finale where Monica and Chandler finally become parents when Erica gives birth to their adopted twins Erica and Jack. A bit plot twist was that the couple didn’t know they were having twins until Erica was in labor. But how? How did the doctors never mention the word “twins” to Erica? Even so, the adoption agency would have seen the papers and checked in to make sure Monica and Chandler were prepared. And even if you ignore all of that, the future parents stare at a sonogram of the babies. Given how pregnant Erica was when we met her, the twins could well have been visible in the picture. I smell a plot convenience. 21 The One With Joey’s Stains Sometimes, it’s not just the writers who miss things. Joey, as we know, is a messy eater and a child-like soul, who you just want to give a big, big hug. Except maybe not after he crashed into Monica’s Thanksgiving spread in season ten. After nagging Monica to cook them a Thanksgiving dinner, the friends turn up almost an hour late and are refused entry to the apartment. Events take place and Joey ends up getting stuck in the door, which results in him being covered in food! Even though Joey isn’t bothered by eating the splattered food directly off his sweater, I doubt that even Joey would have eaten this much food in such a short amount of time! Although maybe I’m being naive. 20 The One Where Ross Eats Ice Cream Ross is an odd person and is often the source of ridicule from his friends. One of his oddities is revealed in season seven, when Chandler tells the rest of the gang that Ross doesn’t like ice cream, with Ross reasoning that it’s too cold. This is a perfectly good reason to not like ice cream and if Ross had eaten it around his friends previously, in order to hide his distaste, then we might have understood. However, he eats it willingly on two separate occasions. Once with his little monkey Marcel, and again, just a season before his hate is revealed, on a date with college student Elizabeth. Sure, our tastes change, but it’s weird for the creators to put a preference on a friend who has already proved it wrong! 19 The One With Leather Pants When Phoebe is pregnant with her brother’s triplets, her friends try to cheer her up by throwing her a shower where she gets all sorts of presents she can use after her pregnancy is over. The shower backfires, but not because they got their vegetarian friend some leather pants. Despite being a vegetarian from the very beginning, the leather pants are described as something she has always wanted! Doesn’t make much sense, what with them being made out of animal and her always defending animals throughout the series. It’s certainly an odd thing for her to pine over! As a vegetarian myself, I know that leather is not vegetarian. The pants could be expensive synthetic leather, but they aren’t described as such, leaving the fans baffled. 18 The One With All The Birthdays This is something that has always baffled the fans. Apparently, the friends were all born in some kind of inconsistent time loop which gives they multiple birthdays. The main victim of the Birthday time slip is one Dr. Ross Geller, who twice declared his birthday, once in October and then December. He was also twenty-nine for three whole years, during seasons three, four and five. During which there are three Thanksgiving episodes. Ross, we’re all insecure about our ages, but you’re not fooling anyone at the stage. But Ross isn’t the only friend who can’t remember their birthday. When Phoebe meets her brother in The One with Frank Jr, she reveals that her birthday is February 16th, but later books a table for Halloween because the restaurant wasn’t free on her birthday. Maybe try another place, Phoebe? That place has a weird booking policy. 17 The One With The Walls An interesting fact about the show is that it was never filmed in New York, but at the Warner Bros studio in California. All the apartments were built sets and filmed in front of a studio evidence. The only episodes filmed outside California were the London episodes, which were so difficult to film that later episodes set in Barbados and Las Vegas, were filmed at the studios instead of on location. But with sets, particularly in the earlier seasons, comes errors. There are several occasions in the first few seasons where the sets cut off and it looks like the walls cut short, like in this shot here. It’s a small error that happens a lot in sitcoms, particularly in the nineties. But I’m too annoying to let that go. 16 The One With Rachel’s Name After being in love with Rachel since they were in high school, you’d think Ross would learn how to spell Rachel’s name. Despite being spelled “Green” in the credits, on her office door at Ralph Lauren and on her daughter’s cake box, Ross misspells Rachel’s surname as “Greene” on her invitation to his wedding. Perhaps this was him trying to convince himself that he didn’t love her or didn’t think that much about her, before his big name mistake at his wedding. But Ross isn’t the only one guilty of this as Rachel’s surname is spelled “Greene” when she works at Bloomingdales. Perhaps her boss made the mistake and Rachel was too scared to correct them. But that would only make Ross’ mistake even more jerkish!

Then in season ten, Monica and Rachel attend a party at Ross and Chandler’s college where Rachel and Chandler, that’s right, kiss! How do you forget a person like that? ## 23 The One With The Long Pregnancy ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Friends-Ben-3.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5) via pickyfriendslogic.tumblr.com Carol is Ross’s ex-wife whom he divorced shortly before the series began, after realizing that she is a lesbian. In the second episode of the series, Carol reveals that she is pregnant with Ross’s son Ben, much to Ross’s surprise. Well, if I were Ross, I would be surprised too. In the season three flashback it’s revealed that Ross found out about Carol’s affair a year before the series started\! So how long was Carol pregnant for? When we first see her, she isn’t showing and acts like she has just found about the pregnancy. A fan theory suggests that Ross and Carol were together when she came to pick up the last of her things in the first episode, in an emotional goodbye that Susan accepted and understood. But it’s not something the creators or actors have ever confirmed. ## 22 The One Where They Don’t Notice The Twins ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Friends-Twins-4.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5) via pickyfriendslogic.tumblr.com One of the most emotional moments in the series is during the finale where Monica and Chandler finally become parents when Erica gives birth to their adopted twins Erica and Jack. A bit plot twist was that the couple didn’t know they were having twins until Erica was in labor. But how? How did the doctors never mention the word “twins” to Erica? Even so, the adoption agency would have seen the papers and checked in to make sure Monica and Chandler were prepared. And even if you ignore all of that, the future parents stare at a sonogram of the babies. Given how pregnant Erica was when we met her, the twins could well have been visible in the picture. I smell a plot convenience. ## 21 The One With Joey’s Stains ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/download-79.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5) via moviemistakes.com Sometimes, it’s not just the writers who miss things. Joey, as we know, is a messy eater and a child-like soul, who you just want to give a big, big hug. Except maybe not after he crashed into Monica’s Thanksgiving spread in season ten. After nagging Monica to cook them a Thanksgiving dinner, the friends turn up almost an hour late and are refused entry to the apartment. Events take place and Joey ends up getting stuck in the door, which results in him being covered in food\! Even though Joey isn’t bothered by eating the splattered food directly off his sweater, I doubt that even Joey would have eaten this much food in such a short amount of time! Although maybe I’m being naive. ## 20 The One Where Ross Eats Ice Cream ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Friends-Ice-Cream-6.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=750&dpr=1.5) via starttoenjoy.blogspot.fi Ross is an odd person and is often the source of ridicule from his friends. One of his oddities is revealed in season seven, when Chandler tells the rest of the gang that Ross doesn’t like ice cream, with Ross reasoning that it’s too cold. This is a perfectly good reason to not like ice cream and if Ross had eaten it around his friends previously, in order to hide his distaste, then we might have understood. However, he eats it willingly on two separate occasions. Once with his little monkey Marcel, and again, just a season before his hate is revealed, on a date with college student Elizabeth. Sure, our tastes change, but it’s weird for the creators to put a preference on a friend who has already proved it wrong\! ## 19 The One With Leather Pants ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/download-80.jpeg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5) via pickyfriendslogic.tumblr.com When Phoebe is pregnant with her brother’s triplets, her friends try to cheer her up by throwing her a shower where she gets all sorts of presents she can use after her pregnancy is over. The shower backfires, but not because they got their vegetarian friend some leather pants. Despite being a vegetarian from the very beginning, the leather pants are described as something she has always wanted\! Doesn’t make much sense, what with them being made out of animal and her always defending animals throughout the series. It’s certainly an odd thing for her to pine over! As a vegetarian myself, I know that leather is not vegetarian. The pants could be expensive synthetic leather, but they aren’t described as such, leaving the fans baffled. ## 18 The One With All The Birthdays ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Friends-Birthdays-8.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5) via buzzfeed.com This is something that has always baffled the fans. Apparently, the friends were all born in some kind of inconsistent time loop which gives they multiple birthdays. The main victim of the Birthday time slip is one Dr. Ross Geller, who twice declared his birthday, once in October and then December. He was also twenty-nine for three whole years, during seasons three, four and five. During which there are three Thanksgiving episodes. Ross, we’re all insecure about our ages, but you’re not fooling anyone at the stage. But Ross isn’t the only friend who can’t remember their birthday. When Phoebe meets her brother in The One with Frank Jr, she reveals that her birthday is February 16th, but later books a table for Halloween because the restaurant wasn’t free on her birthday. Maybe try another place, Phoebe? That place has a weird booking policy. ## 17 The One With The Walls ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Friends-Walls-9.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5) An interesting fact about the show is that it was never filmed in New York, but at the Warner Bros studio in California. All the apartments were built sets and filmed in front of a studio evidence. The only episodes filmed outside California were the London episodes, which were so difficult to film that later episodes set in Barbados and Las Vegas, were filmed at the studios instead of on location. But with sets, particularly in the earlier seasons, comes errors. There are several occasions in the first few seasons where the sets cut off and it looks like the walls cut short, like in this shot here. It’s a small error that happens a lot in sitcoms, particularly in the nineties. But I’m too annoying to let that go. ## 16 The One With Rachel’s Name ![](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Friends-Rachel-Name-10.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5) via pickyfriendslogic.tumblr.com After being in love with Rachel since they were in high school, you’d think Ross would learn how to spell Rachel’s name. Despite being spelled “Green” in the credits, on her office door at Ralph Lauren and on her daughter’s cake box, Ross misspells Rachel’s surname as “Greene” on her invitation to his wedding. Perhaps this was him trying to convince himself that he didn’t love her or didn’t think that much about her, before his big name mistake at his wedding. But Ross isn’t the only one guilty of this as Rachel’s surname is spelled “Greene” when she works at Bloomingdales. Perhaps her boss made the mistake and Rachel was too scared to correct them. But that would only make Ross’ mistake even more jerkish\! - [Lists](https://www.thegamer.com/category/lists/ "Lists") - [Friends](https://www.thegamer.com/tag/friends/ "Friends") Follow Followed Like Share [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegamer.com%2Ffunny-friends-memes-show-sense-plot-holes%2F%2F&src=sdkpreparse) [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=25%20Hilarious%20Friends%20Memes%20That%20Show%20How%20It%20Makes%20No%20Sense&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegamer.com%2Ffunny-friends-memes-show-sense-plot-holes%2F) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegamer.com%2Ffunny-friends-memes-show-sense-plot-holes%2F&title=25%20Hilarious%20Friends%20Memes%20That%20Show%20How%20It%20Makes%20No%20Sense&source=www.thegamer.com&summary=Friends%20was%20a%20show%20loved%20by%20many%2C%20but%20there%27s%20just%20a%20lot%20about%20it%20that%20doesn%27t%20make%20sense.%20These%20hilarious%20memes%20point%20them%20out.)
