The One with Joey's Interview – Season eight, episode 19 That storyline seems plain weird, and the rest of the episode isn’t compelling enough to make up for it.Ģ23. Remember that weird time Rachel dated a guy named Danny who had an uncomfortably close relationship with his sister? Yes, I had blacked it out too. The One with the Inappropriate Sister – Season five, episode 10 The One with the Male Nanny – Season nine, episode sixĪka The One Where Ross and Rachel Find the Absolute Perfect Nanny After a Difficult Search but Have to Let Him Go Because Ross Has Outdated Ideas About Masculinity.Ģ24. It's a very sweet moment so why, oh why, ruin it with an entire storyline about Chandler’s sexuality and whether he gives off some kind of gay vibeĢ25. Ross visits his family as they prepare to say goodbye to his late grandmother, and discovers dozens of sweetener packets (which she loved to collect) tucked away in her bedroom closet. The One Where Nana Dies Twice – Season one, episode eight “How goes the dancing? Gay yet?” Monica asks him in one of those moments that will remind you that Friends hasn’t always aged well.Ģ27. Look, the storyline in which Joey agrees to help Mr Treeger practice his ballroom dancing is, in part, rather cute – but it’s ruined by the mockery he faces for it. The One with the Ballroom Dancing – Season four, episode four This is one example of how pop culture has contributed to those issues.Ģ28. This one doesn’t really need to be explained, does it? Activists have spoken at length about the stigma and shame associated with being intersex. Rachel Green’s former classmate Will (played by Jennifer Aniston’s then-husband Brad Pitt) wanted to make up an embarrassing rumour about her in high school, and apparently, the most humiliating option was to make Rachel supposedly intersex. The One with the Rumor – Season eight, episode nine Stand-ins for the rest of the friends haven’t been found just yet, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the “replacements” of the rest are also hidden in plain sight.229. Stand-ins are part of every TV show and film, and viewers often won’t notice they were there as they are either replaced in post-production or simply don’t make it into the final cut due to aspect ratio reasons. Nowadays, the format has changed to 16:9, and transferring Friends to Netflix meant that viewers can now see what was going on on the sides of the screen – exactly where the “fake” Monica and Rachel were. Back in the 1990s, TV shows were done in 4:3 aspect ratio, which is more square. There’s actually a good explanation on why Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox were briefly replaced and why fans never noticed until the series joined Netflix. The scene cuts to a close up on Joey, and a different woman is standing where Rachel was just seconds ago – and she wasn’t even wearing the same outfit. Rachel’s moment came in season 9’s episode “The One With The Mugging”, when she rushes into Monica’s apartment to tell Joey that he got an audition. The scene cuts back and forth between the two and at one point there’s a close up on Phoebe, and on the right side of the screen instead of Courteney Cox is a completely different woman. In season 8’s episode “The One With Rachel’s Date”, Phoebe and Monica are sitting in Central Perk (obviously), talking and drinking coffee. Friends being available to stream certainly made it easier for fans to go back to their favorite episodes as many times as they want, and they inevitably noticed that Rachel and Monica suddenly weren’t themselves. This mistake was brought to light thanks to Netflix, observant Friends fans, and social media.

The series went through some changes from the very beginning, such as Ross’ ex-wife Carol being recast and the numbers in Monica’s and Chandler’s apartments mysteriously changing. The series is regarded as one of the greatest TV shows of all time and has a pretty solid fan base to this day. Friends was all about the lives of six young adults (Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey, and Ross) in New York City, doing their best to balance adulthood, relationships, their careers, and more. Over a decade has passed since the final episode of Friends aired, but multiple reruns, marathons, and the opportunity to watch it on streaming thanks to Netflix have kept the series alive – and has also helped fans notice some continuity mistakes, like when Monica and Rachel were replaced.
