Character mistake: When they see Robin on the news at the end she says "Metro 1 News" instead of "Metro News 1". (00:12:20)
Other mistake: Lily needs Ted to come and fix her flat tire in Dutchess County, NY, after she breaks down on the way to her interview in New Haven, CT. Dutchess County is well upstate from I-95, the direct highway from New York City to New Haven, so Lily being there en route to New Haven makes absolutely no sense; she would only pass through Westchester County, which is directly north of NYC.
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)
Continuity mistake: In the pilot episode we see the Son and Daughter listening to the start of the story on how Ted met their mother. 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)
Continuity mistake: Barney tells Lily that she's rubbing his leg. When he does, a wine glass suddenly appears in Lily's hand. (00:03:20)
Sweet Taste of Liberty - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: Barney tells the cab driver to lock the doors, and he does. We then see Ted trying to open the door and you can hear the taxi is still driving by the engine noise. However, the scenery outside the windows has stopped moving. (00:01:50)
Continuity mistake: When Barney is scoping the apartment, his hands are next to his temples. As the shot changes to a wider shot, they are now much further away from his temple. (00:08:05)
Continuity mistake: When Barney is explaining about there always being 1 girl who doesn't know who's party it is, his hand is sudden;y outstretched or by his side depending on the shot. (00:08:00)
Nothing Good Happens After 2 A.M. - S1-E18
Visible crew/equipment: When Robin hands Ted the glass of wine, you can see set lights reflected in the glass. (00:10:55)
Visible crew/equipment: When Ted and Robyn are sat outside the homeless shelter, a taxi drives by, reflecting a light screen. (00:14:40)
Continuity mistake: The foam on top of the drinks Barney puts down at the start changes drastically between shots. (00:01:50)
Continuity mistake: When the guys are at the bar before going to the awards show, we see Marshall raise his beer to his mouth twice from different angles, without ever lowering it. Also, the amount of beer in his glass changes instantly between the shots. (00:03:30)
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.
