Wait For It... - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Ted goes over to Robin's apartment to yell about their breakup, Robin says "You shaved" and "I liked the beard," implying that this is the first time she has seen Ted since he shaved. But the night before she was in the kitchen at his apartment asking if he was okay with her dating Gael. At that point Ted had already shaved. (00:17:45)

Wait For It... - S3-E1

Other mistake: In the flashback where Gael is playing a guitar and singing a song, the chords on the guitar change, but his fingers do not move at all. He is playing the same chord the whole time.

How I Met Everyone Else - S3-E5

Other mistake: In the scene where Barney is describing The Vicky Mendoza Diagonal of The Hot-Crazy Scale, his words describe her getting hotter, (i.e. lost ten pounds) not less crazy. On the diagram shown, she goes down in craziness, not up in hotness.

How I Met Everyone Else - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: During the flashback in which Barney recounts the story of how he and Ted met (which was previously shown in the pilot episode of the series), there is a green circular plaque (that reads "Winner of the Queen Cup") on the wall in the background which wasn't present in the pilot episode. Also, Barney's left arm is in different positions than it was in the pilot.

Dowisetrepla - S3-E7

Character mistake: In the scene where Robin and Lily are talking in the kitchen, Robin makes a reference to Mount Waddington being the tallest mountain in Canada. The tallest mountain in Canada is actually Mount Logan.

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.
