TriviaEdit

The '80s flashback takes place specifically in 1987, as stated by Ross, and features hilarious haircuts and another brilliant appearance of Fat Monica.
In The One With All The Jealousy, Phoebe says that a stripper on a bachelorette party is cliche, however, she insists on having one at her party in this episode.
During Pyramid show, there's a quiz where Joey's partner says some Spanish words. In the Spanish version of this episode, he says French words.

Continuity Edit

When Rachel and Monica are dancing in the flashback, they are both holding cups. It is obvious that nothing is in the cups, but Rachel drinks from hers as Monica fetches the pizza. There isn't enough time for her to fill her cup even when she is not in the shot.
Chandler states he had sex in high school, however in The One After The Superbowl, Part 2 he tells Susie Moss he went to an all boys high school. Also, during The Contest it's revealed that Chandler didn't touch a girl's breast until he was nineteen.
When the girls and Mr. Goodbody are talking about paying him the three hundred dollars, the top buttons of his shirt are ripped open. Half way though the scene this changes to only one button being open and his shirt looking neat and pressed, as if he had not started his strip yet.
When Ross and Chandler are talking about who broke which pact in college (the girls they agreed not to date) they are standing at the drinks table. Chandler is holding a drink in his left hand and his right hand is in his pants pocket. The shot then changes to face Ross, Chandler does not remove his hand from his pocket, but in the next shot facing him his drink is in his right hand. He then places it on the table.
Towards the end of the episode, Ross and Chandler come into Monica's apartment and Ross asks where Rachel is. Watch the objects in Monica's hands, in the shot from behind she puts them on the table, and then does it again in the shot from the front.

QuotesEdit

Ross: After you told me that she was passed out in our room, I went in there to make sure she was alright. She was lying on my bed, all buried in people's coats. Well, I went to kiss her on the forehead but it was so dark I accidentally got her lips. I started to pull away but then I felt her kissing me back. It was only for a second but it was amazing. And now I found out that you kissed her first!
Chandler: Wait, what bed did you say she was on?
Ross: Mine.
Chandler: I'm pretty sure I put her on my bed.
Ross: No, she was definitely on my bed.
Chandler: Why would I kiss a girl and then put her on your bed?
Ross: Well then who was on my bed?
Monica: Oh! Oh! Oh!
Ross: (realizing) No! No! No!
Monica: Yes!
Ross: You were under the pile of coats?
Monica: I WAS the pile of coats!
Ross: OH MY GOD!
Monica: You were my midnight mystery kisser?!
Ross: You were my first kiss with Rachel?!
Monica: You were my first kiss EVER?!
Chandler: What did I marry into?!
