How I Met Your Mother (2005)

10 corrected entries in season 1

(8 votes)

Correction: They do know her name. Ted is telling them how they were going to use nicknames when Barney came up to him and called him Ted, so she tells Ted her name is Victoria. This happened BEFORE the stealing the bouquet part.

Bishop73

Correction: Watching this you see Victoria move the bottle to the floor, then you don't see it on the table again.

Ssiscool

Correction: They stay in each hand, but her hands are on top of each other, giving the impression they are in the same hand.

Zip, Zip, Zip - S1-E14

Corrected entry: In S1E06 Lily dresses like a parrot and Marshal like a pirate. At 5 min 03 sec. Lily says that she needs to pee and Marshal goes with her because she wears an elaborate costume. Later in S1E14 Marshal and Lily are trapped in their bathroom because Ted and Victoria are trying to do it in the living room and they do not know that Lily and Marshal are at home. After a while being trapped Lily says that she wants to do something she's never done before, i.e. she wants to pee while Marshal is also in the bathroom.

Correction: Marshal may well have helped her out of the parrot costume, then left the bathroom while she used the toilet. He could then return to help her back into the costume.

Pilot - S1-E1

Corrected entry: When Barney does "Have you met Ted?" for the first time, he taps a woman wearing a red top but you can't see her face. When the camera angle changes to reveal it as Robin, she's wearing a green top. (00:00:43)

Correction: Within the actual episode this does not occur. During the episode (00:02:50) Barney taps the shoulder of the woman wearing a red top standing beside him, and it's Yasmin wearing the red top as she and Ted continue to converse, until Yasmin tells Ted she's Carl's girlfriend. It's later in the episode (00:05:50) that Ted spots Robin wearing a green top, then Robin walks over to the bar counter. It's at this moment where Barney taps Robin's shoulder.

Slutty Pumpkin - S1-E6

Corrected entry: In the scene where Robin and Ted are talking on the roof at the end of the episode, Robin asks Ted why, when Mike was willing to look like a complete idiot by dressing us as Hansel for her, she couldn't 'be Gretel' to be a good girlfriend. Ted replies, "Because you just haven't met the right Hansel yet". Hansel and Gretel were in fact brother and sister in the story.

benson

Correction: He meant that they just don't do well together. He wasn't implying that Hansel and Gretel had an incestuous relationship.

Knever

Correction: After just watching the episode, Victoria is nowhere to be seen. There is a waitress that kind of looks like her, but you never see her whole face, and it's definitely not Victoria.

Game Night - S1-E15

Corrected entry: In episode 1 "The Pilot", when the gang are drinking champagne at the bar with Ranjit the cab driver, there is a tray on the table when they toast. In this episode the same scene is shown in flashback, and there is no tray. (00:16:00)

pinkwafer

Correction: The flashback shows the scene from the pilot. However, the events in the flashback take place after the credits have rolled in the pilot. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that the tray could have easily been removed in that time.

Pilot - S1-E1

Corrected entry: When Robin steps out of her front door to give Ted directions, she wraps her cardigan around herself. In the next shot the cardigan is instantly open, and she wraps it around herself again. (00:18:15)

pinkwafer

Correction: The cardigan is seen opening as Robin extends her arm to give Ted the direction.

Casual Person

Correction: People have different Definitions of what actually constitutes a "fight." He could consider those times with his brothers just "messing around." And the one punch to Doug also wouldn't be considered a fight.

Knever

In the episode with Doug, Future Ted says that he had had full on fights with his brothers, not just roughhousing. Besides The Fight with Doug happened after this episode.

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?

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.

More trivia for How I Met Your Mother

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.

Ssiscool

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."
