As revealed in the Friends pilot, Monica and Rachel were best friends since they were kids. Monica didn’t meet Phoebe until she was an adult living in the city. There aren’t many details regarding their first encounter, but Phoebe served as Monica’s roommate.

NBC’s “Friends” is one of the most beloved TV shows of all time, but it’s not perfect. Some storylines have clear plot holes or inconsistencies, like characters aging at different rates.

The usual explanation is that Rachel and Chandler simply didn’t recognize each other. However: it is highly unlikely that Rachel wouldn’t remember a guy that was the reason of Monica loosing weight, that she was in ER with after he lost a tip of his toe and that she was kissing on a college party.

Rachel referred to the pets having died a few years prior but Phoebe cut her off and assured Joey that the chick and the duck were actually at a special farm that didn’t allow visitors. This meant that the pets most likely died of old age and the rest of the group told a white lie to shield Joey from their deaths.

Trivia (8) The fake eyebrows on Matt LeBlanc melted several times due to the lighting and had to be replaced. When talking about getting his eyebrows waxed, and Phoebe jokes about Joey being high maintenance, he tells Phoebe she dyes her hair and complains about that double standard.

Eyebrow Mystery What happened to Joey’s eyebrows? In season 9, episode 13, he gets them waxed but can only do one, so Chandler makes them even. When the next episode picks up, it’s five days later — and his brows were back to normal.

And noticing plot holes like these. 1. Rachel’s and Chandler’s memory loss. In the pilot, Rachel and Chandler have to be introduced, as if they’ve never seen each other before. This contradicts later plot lines, which show that they met on at LEAST four separate occasions during high school/college – even making out in a flashback during season 10.

The NBC sitcom Friends is recognized as one of the greatest shows of all time. The show was on the air for a decade from 1994 to 2004, raking up 10 seasons and a huge fan following. Many of this shows most loyal fans have seen episodes and even entire seasons dozens of times.

“Friends” may be one of the greatest shows of all time but in its decade-long run on the air, it had quite a few inconsistencies. Family backstories changed, names switched spellings and even Ross’ hatred for ice cream was forgotten.

Chandler CAN cry. There’s an entire episode insisting that he can’t – it’s literally called ‘The One Where Chandler Can’t Cry’, and features the friends trying to garner some sort of reaction from his tear ducts, to no avail.
