Mistake: Mike’s scarf constantly changes its style throughout the scene
Friends may statistically have its fair share of TV bloopers, but that hasn’t deterred millions of fans from enjoying the sitcom time and time again. The introduction of Mike brought Phoebe her much-deserved happy ending, and he became a beloved character throughout the series. However, not even Mike could escape a TV blunder.
In a classic case of multiple shots being used to create a seamless scene, it appears that Mike’s scarf had a mind of its own. At times, it’s neatly tied around his neck, adding a touch of elegance to his outfit. Yet, in other shots, Mike’s scarf inexplicably becomes untied and drapes itself casually around his shoulders. While it may be a minor detail in the grand scheme of things, it’s enough to catch the eye of discerning viewers who have an eye for continuity.
