Goofs:

Factual errors: Ross refers to the comic book "The Incredible Hulk #72", but no such comic existed at this time. "The Incredible Hulk" was canceled at #6; the Hulk then appeared as a feature in "Tales to Astonish" until he took over the title in 1968 and it was renamed "The Incredible Hulk" with #102. There were therefore no issues #7-101 until the title began renumbering with #1 in 1999, a year after this episode aired.

Quotes:

Chandler: [Ross is worried that Emily is gay because she and Susan are having so much fun together in London] Hi. Hi. You're crazy. Ok, this is Emily, Emily is straight.
Ross: How do you know? I mean we thought Carol was straight before I married her.
Phoebe: [Phoebe is trying to decide on a name for one of the triplets]
[Shaking her head]
Phoebe: Yeah, I'm definitely, I don't like the name 'Ross'.
Ross: What a weird way to kick me when I'm down.
Phoebe: No, no, I just, I meant for the baby.
Ross: What's wrong with 'Ross'?
Phoebe: Well it just, you know, something like this would never happen to like 'The Hulk', you know.
