Some have taken to social media to call out 1998 Friends classic, The One With The Embryos, which aired in season four.

It saw girl squad Monica and Rachel, played by Courtney and Jennifer Aniston, battle Matthew Perry’s Chandler and Joey, played by Matt Le Blanc, in what seemingly starts off as a harmless game.

Yet as the game intensifies, the stakes are reaised.

The group decides whichever team wins will get to live in the girls’ apartment.

The girls lose – and it is when Monica is bemoaning their situation that eagle-eyed fans noticed something strange.

One commented: “Just after the guys win the trivia game when Rachel is refusing to move, Monica says ‘if we had lost, we would have made them get rid of the birds, right?;

“It doesn’t make sense. They did lose. She was probably supposed to say ‘if they had lost’ or ‘if we had won’, right?”

Another agreed and added: “I had to stop what I was doing immediately and go check. Yup, both the actual dialogue spoken by Monica and the subtitles say ‘if we had lost’. I can’t believe the editors didn’t catch it!”

A third then surmised: “I had to rewind it five or six times just to check I wasn’t going crazy!”

Friends aired from 1994 to 2004.

The sitcom, which followed the lives and loves of Monica, Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe, has found a new audience on streaming platforms in recent years and continues to be one of the most-watched shows worldwide.

Last year, Friends: The Reunion aired on HBO Max streaming service and featured all its original cast — Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer.

The Friends Reunion Show, also known as “The One Where They Get Back Together, also featured a number of celebrity cameos – including David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, and Lady Gaga.

Fans confessed they were left “sobbing” as it then hit screens in the UK.

And it wasn’t just fans who were in tears, with Jennifer breaking down in tears as soon as she returned to the famous set.
