15 Annoying Mistakes You Never Noticed In Friends

11. Barry Who Now?

Remember that guy who Rachel was going to marry in the pilot? You know, the dentist? Barry Farber, right? Or, at least that's what he was known as in pretty much every single episode except for the first, where he had an entirely different surname: Finkle.

How and why did this happen? Did Barry go into the Witness Protection Program? Why doesn't Rachel notice the name switch-a-roo? Why was it changed anyway? TOO MANY QUESTIONS, FRIENDS WRITERS.

10. Phoebe's Dad Left Before She Born (Except He Didn't)

Everybody knows that Phoebe had a rough upbringing, because Phoebe never fails to mention something (at least once per episode) weird or depressing or disturbing that happened to her when she was a kid. Sure, you can feel sorry for her, but do note that - sometimes - she plucks a sob story out of thin air.

Take all that business with her father, for example, who she constantly claims ran out on on her before she was born. And yet, when Frank actually turns up in a later episode, he mentions that he was around when she was a kid, and even sung her songs at bedtime. Get your memories fixed, Pheebs.
