Goofs:

Errors in geography: When Barney is "taking a leak" after disappearing, he sticks out his head facing North (from the spectators point of view, merely, towards Ted's room). We know that the bathroom is actually facing West (spectator's point of view, again. Opposite the kitchen). Is he peeing on a plant? If so, why does Marshall seems so cool about it?

Quotes:

Waiter: What'll you have, sir?
Ted Mosby: Gravy.
Waiter: Would you like that on something in particular?
Ted Mosby: Surprise me.
