* {{Flanderization}}: Janice was always a quirky and cartoonish character, but her previous appearance in Season 3 added more depth to her character, seeing through Chandler's shenaningans. In this episode, however, she's completely fooled by Chandler's incongruous Yemen story.

She pulls one out, revealing a hole that Monica made trying to find out where the switch is connected, and realizes the other pictures are covering other holes (except one that Monica just liked). Monica even put one on the floor when she tries to see if the wire led downstairs.

* ArtisticLicenseSports: The rugby game that Ross plays in bears very little resemblance to reality. Although Ross's ignorance of the laws can be excused, since he's never played before, the rest of the players and the referee have no excuse.
** The scrum that the other players yell at Ross to join more closely resembles a maul, as it is a disorganised mess while a real scrum has a specific structure and positions for all the players involved. In real life, a scrum would never begin without all the players involved already being bound to it, and additional players wouldn't be allowed to join after it had started the way Ross does. The scrum also seems to involve every player from both teams, while a real scrum only involves forwards, who would make up 8 of the 15 players.
** Rather than wearing matching jerseys to indicate the two teams, the players are all wearing completely random colours. It's possible that this is because the match is simply a friendly game in the park rather than an official competition, but this is unlikely since there is a referee present who is wearing a proper referee jersey.
** Emily tells Ross that another player is not wearing a cup as a weakness he can [[GroinAttack exploit]]. In reality, almost no rugby players wear cups so this would not be noteworthy.
