Where Were We? - S2-E1

Other mistake: When Ted and Robin borrow Marshall's Fiero and are sitting in the car talking as Ted drives, you can hear the beat of a song playing in the car that is not the Proclaimers' I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles), which in many future episodes is referenced as the only song that can be played in that car due to the tape being stuck in the tape player. (00:15:30 - 00:16:10)

Suggested correction: Maybe it's on the radio.

Brunch - S2-E3

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.

Swarley - S2-E7

Audio problem: Lily starts chasing Chloe down the street. She hits a pipe. If you listen closely, you'll hear that she groans before the metallic hit sound effect. (00:12:30)

Video

Slap Bet - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When they are watching the music video on the small screen on the table, there is a bottle of JT Cola next to the screen in the close ups. When it goes to a wide shot, it is suddenly replaced by a beer bottle. However, in the previous shot before the commercial break it is a JT Cola bottle in the same spot as the beer bottle.

Marshall: You should definitely go. Look, it's a chance to show her you are still friends and that you support her.
Barney: Or it's a chance to mess with her head by showing up with someone hotter, or even better, triple threat, hotter and bigger boobs!
Ted: That's only two.
Barney: Count again.

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.

Answer: Barney ran a marathon without any training and over exerted his muscles. While he was able to walk after, later his leg muscles gave out and he couldn't move (or more likely stand). It is not uncommon when one works out too much to be sore the next day, even if they feel okay afterwards. Thus the saying "I'll feel that in the morning."
