How I Met Your Mother

The Fortress - S8-E19

Factual error: The way Barney employs the green screen wouldn't work because a camera is needed to put a picture over the screen. To the naked eye the screen would still be green. The only plausible way to make the illusion work as intended would be a regular white screen and a projector, but this isn't the case here.

Three Days Of Snow - S4-E13

Factual error: A shot zooms out to show a powerful storm system just offshore from the eastern seaboard. However, the cyclonic storm system is rotating clockwise, while low pressure systems in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

Something Old - S8-E23

Factual error: When Ted recalls his trip to Spain the map onscreen is full of spelling and geographical errors: Marida appears in Portugal but it's in Spain and should be spelled Mérida. Valencenia = Valencia; Tarrogona = Tarragona; Grenada = Granada; Pamplona is placed where the city of Bilbao is; also Sevilla is placed 140 kilometers to the left of where it really is.

The Naked Truth - S7-E2

Revealing mistake: While showing the clip of Marshall streaking the first time, you can see thumbnails for videos of him streaking in New York. Those videos were created later that day and could not already be posted. One also shows a woman in yellow and appears to be a retake of the scene. (00:06:15)

Something Blue - S2-E22

Trivia: When Ted and Robin are at the restaurant, they are accidentally sent a champagne glass with an engagement ring in. A man then claims the ring and proposes to his girlfriend. This couple really did get engaged on the show - the guy set up the surprise proposal, as his girlfriend thought they were just there as extras.
