No Tomorrow - S3-E12
Continuity mistake: At the Saint Patrick's Day party when Barney says, "it's not cheating if her name has two adjacent vowels" his right hand is up near his left hand, pointing to his fingers. When the camera angle changes his hand is back at his stomach.
Continuity mistake: When Ted, Barney and the girls are heading to the South Bronx in the cab, keep watching Colleen's head, near when Barney says, "Somebody's been watching too many Seinfeld reruns", her head moves instantly between shots, from looking towards Ted to looking at Barney.
Continuity mistake: During the scene in "Marshall and Lily's part", after they leave the bathroom, we can see Robin and Virginia (Ted's Mom) talking in the back. Their hand motions do not match the later scene of the "Robin and Ted's part". Obviously, they were shot separately.
Continuity mistake: At the courthouse, when Lily is eating red licorice from the vending machine, the piece she is eating gets longer between shots.
How Lily Stole Christmas - S2-E11
Continuity mistake: When Marshall and Ted are on the phone to one another, the string from Ted's hoodie changes position between shots, much of this may be because he is moving his hand due to being on the phone. However the right string goes back and forth from being caught on the collar of his jacket to hanging straight down over his jacket just before he is on the phone to his mother.
Continuity mistake: When Lily, Ted and Robin are at the bar discussing Ted's building design, Lily's drink keeps moving between shots. Sometimes it is in her hand lifted towards her mouth, whilst in other shots it sits on the table.
Matchmaker - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene at the bar, when Ted and Barney are discussing the idea of going to visit a Matchmaker, Ted's beer glass suddenly goes from being about a quarter full, to being nearly three-quarters full. (00:02:20)
Continuity mistake: We find out in this episode that Ted and the mother don't get married for several years, due to postponing The Wedding when she became pregnant. They eventually get married in 2020, when their children are 3 and 5. But in Lobster Crawl (8-9), at the end of the episode Lily and Marshal show up to babysit Ted's daughter when she's younger than that, and Ted is wearing a wedding ring. (00:29:00)
Suggested correction: Many couples wear rings before their actual wedding as a display of commitment. A friend of mine is in this situation. He wears a ring, has a child with his lady, but no actual date for their wedding is set. This is simply Ted choosing to wear a ring before getting married and there is no mistake.
Continuity mistake: When breaking up with Natalie, her hands are constantly changing position between instant cuts. (00:18:30)
Continuity mistake: When Ted mentions having a party, Marshall's hand goes from on his beer to on his chin instantly. (00:03:10)

In the final episode of the show it's revealed that the whole story has taken place in one sitting. However, the clothes the kids are wearing and the items around them are different in the pilot episode to every other episode. The sofa is a different design, the cushions appear etc. (00:00:45)
Okay Awesome - S1-E5
Continuity mistake: Ted asks if he had a stroke at the start of the episode and puts his hand to his chest. Camera cuts and his hand has swapped from his right to his left on his chest. (00:00:35)
