How I Met Your Mother

Suggested correction: Depending on the location settings on his laptop, they could be giving a false reading. My laptop shows I'm in Cardiff Wales while in fact I'm nowhere near.

The show was actually filmed on a film set in Los Angeles which is probably why the laptop says Los Angeles as the current location. This most probably slipped past the editing crew.

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 Old - S8-E23

Revealing mistake: When Lily brings out the "leaking" beanbag, you can see that she has the little white pellets in her clenched fist and is dropping them periodically, making it seem as if they're coming from the bag.

Girls Vs. Suits - S5-E12

Revealing mistake: In the big song and dance number, during the line "Girls will go and girls will come, but there's only one absolute", one of the dancers in the second line that runs in from the right is wearing trainers, not dress shoes.

The Broken Code - S9-E4

Revealing mistake: When Barney and Ted are holding hands on the beach and it starts raining, you can see that the sand is only wet in the place where they are sitting, but dry behind them, and on the left and right side too. (00:16:35)

Intervention - S4-E4

Revealing mistake: When the encyclopaedia bookshelf falls off the wall in the flashback, you can see the wall being pushed out, showing that it was being manipulated from the other side by crew.

Symphony of Illumination - S7-E12

Revealing mistake: While Marshall is on the roof putting up Christmas lights he accidentally drops his cell phone, which supposedly then falls to the ground where Scott picks it up and holds him hostage on the roof. But the cell phone can be seen to fall harmlessly into the gutter and can be seen behind the ladder, despite the added sound of it hitting the ground. (00:10:45)

Pilot - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When Ted gets out the cab to grab the blue French horn, Ranjeet turns the wheel to pull over, however the projection out the back window still shows the cab as in the middle of the road. (00:13:10)

Suggested correction: Many people buy another toothbrush to take on trips and since they were supposed to be going away, they probably decided to use them at home, as if this was their trip.

The whole point of the mistake is they say they have always shared a toothbrush. So why would they use separate on a trip?
