How I Met Your Mother

First Time In New York - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: At the airport, Lily and Robin are talking off to the side away from others. During the scene, the cameras shoot from in front of the two actors and from behind Lily. From the frontal view, Lily's two headbands are white and gold-jeweled. The white headband is closest to her forehead. When the camera shot switches from front to behind, the headbands are switched on her head. The gold one is now closest to her forehead and the white one is behind.

Paria.

Suggested correction: If you look closely, you can see that the headband is actually symmetrical, so the black strap is on top and in the middle of a larger white headband and never changes. (camera angle makes it often seem both from the front as from the back as if there is no white part behind the black).

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)

Barney: Count again.
