[edit] Trivia
[edit] General
- Ross's detergent Überweiss is German for "Super White."
- The executive producer credits are moved to the end of the opening sequence, with the creator credits preceding them.
[edit] Goofs/Continuity
- A sign in the laundromat reads "lost cloths" not "lost clothes," though a surprising number of laundromats have the same spelling error.
- Rachel tells Ross that she can't even send back soup, but she sends back a drink in "The One With The Flashback". Chronologically that would have been a year earlier.
- In this episode, Monica says she sees Ugly Naked Guy laying kitchen tile. It is impossible for Monica to see into his kitchen. As we see in Season 5 when Ross gets that apartment, the kitchen is in the upper right of the screen with a door. And when Phoebe finds out about Chandler and Monica at a straight on shot of the window in that apartment you can't see the kitchen.
- In this episode Monica and Rachel must go to the laundromat because they do not have a laundry room in their building. However, in other episodes Monica and Rachel do have a laundry room, as they often come home with their laundry and are wearing pajamas. Episodes have also featured scenes there, such as "The One With The Football".If
- If you look carefully, when Rachel yells to the horrible woman and says " You´re gonna have to take me with it", Ross is mouthing the line.
