How I Met Your Mother

Dowisetrepla - S3-E7

Character mistake: In the scene where Robin and Lily are talking in the kitchen, Robin makes a reference to Mount Waddington being the tallest mountain in Canada. The tallest mountain in Canada is actually Mount Logan.

Bagpipes - S5-E6

Character mistake: Marshall's whole career focus is saving the environment, so it's a poorly written character choice that he buys plastic glasses to avoid a dish-washing feud, boasting that they can just throw them away. (00:20:10)

Suggested correction: Alot of stuff can be recycled. He would simply recycle the used plastic.

You can recycle the plastic but you have to wash it first, defeating all the purpose of buying it in the first place.

The Mermaid Theory - S6-E11

Character mistake: In another episode it is revealed that Robin hates nicknames and reacts badly when she, or anyone else, is given a nickname. However, in this episode her and Marshall give each other nicknames, and she doesn't seem bothered at all.

Suggested correction: They were trying to convince the others that they were close friends and Marshall probably didn't realise she hated nicknames and Robin was just going along with it.

She says "Teddy boy" often in s2 though.

Mistakes

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)

Trivia

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.

Questions

Answer: After running the marathon for Marshall with no training, he's allowed to ride the subway for free. While sat on the train, the muscles in his legs start to seize up after the marathon to the point it is painful to move his legs. This is why he can't move them. It's the same reason your body aches after a good session at the gym the day before.

Answer: Barney ran a marathon without any training and over exerted his muscles. While he was able to walk after, later his leg muscles gave out and he couldn't move (or more likely stand). It is not uncommon when one works out too much to be sore the next day, even if they feel okay afterwards. Thus the saying "I'll feel that in the morning."
