There Is No Normal Anymore - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: The beautiful blonde visitor takes a picture of herself on Tyler's phone. However, we get a perfect view of her as she concentrates to take the snap (looking very serious and studious, barely showing her teeth), but when we see the picture she is wearing a classic toothy smile right across her face. (00:23:00)

Leaning, Lobsters and Lectures - S1-E11

Continuity mistake: Buddy is doing a lobster themed cake for a bachelor party. When Buddy goes in to tell the staff, there is a huge cake 3 tiers high being worked on, almost complete, on the table in the background. As he makes the parts for the lobster cake the cake in the back has fewer tiers, no decorations, no icing, and back again, completely out of order.

Better Off Ted picture

Love Blurts - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Ted's talking about saying "I Love You" after sex, we see a flashback to the previous evening, him rolling over and saying it, then it cuts. He then talks about making it worse - we see the same scene again, this time not cutting afterwards, except it's not the same scene. The first time the duvet was down to his date's waist, the second time it stays up by her chest.

The League picture

Sunday at Ruxin's - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: In episode 1, The Draft, they show The Draft board in multiple scenes, allowing the viewers a glimpse into the rosters of most of the members of the league. In episode 3, Sunday at Ruxin's, Andre thanks Frank Gore and Andre Johnson for helping lead his team to a victory over Kevin. The mistake is that Andre did not draft either of those players; Gore was drafted by Vince, and Johnson was drafted by Ruxin. No way they traded those guys in week 2.
