The Chain Of Screaming - S3-E15
Continuity mistake: When they're all sitting in the car listening to Marshall's story, Robin's ice cream changes between shots.
Sandcastles in the Sand - S3-E16
Continuity mistake: When Lily goes to the bar with her friend Michelle, Barney says "I want her around all the time." It then cuts from Barney to Lily's slightly shocked looking face, obviously from a previous cut/scene change, sitting at the table with them - she should still be walking to the bar with Michelle.
Suggested correction: Those were different days. Robin agrees to watch Simon's practice before we see Michelle the first time, then the scene cuts to Robin watching the band practice, then the news feed and then the next scene with Michelle. All the character's clothes changed indicating a different time.
Continuity mistake: When Lily is selling her favourite dress and is saying how she got a two syllable damn, the flashback shows her with the hairstyle she got after Coming Back from San Francisco, even though she said it happened in 2004. She should have had her shorter, lighter coloured hair. (00:15:10)
Continuity mistake: In Ted's flashback where Barney's mysterious saboteur is talking to Lily, the girl has straight blonde hair. In episode 14, "The Bracket" where his saboteur was first introduced and she originally spoke to Lily, she had curly blonde hair in the same sequence.
Continuity mistake: When Robin buys Lily's "favorite dress", Lily holds it on her lap folded, when the camera changes angles it is unfolded.
Continuity mistake: When Barney and Abby are lying in bed after the Local Art Cafe scene, Abby's arms/hands change positions between shots.
Other mistake: Right before Barney gets hit by the bus, he's on the sidewalk. To the right there is a One Way sign pointing right, but the bus hits him driving left. The bus would have been driving the wrong way on a one way street.
Suggested correction: Not only is this not a mistake (it wouldn't be the first vehicle going the wrong way down a one way street), but we even see Barney looking in the direction of where the vehicles should be coming from and assume himself to be safe. Had the bus not been going the wrong way, Barney would have seen it coming and not been hit.
This is irrelevant. The mistake is that the bus is going the wrong way on a one - way street. While people do break the law like this, a bus driver certainly wouldn't.
