3 Gaping Plotholes in How I Met Your Mother
Since I have watched the series from start to whatever is currently airing about a - to quote Robin - “floppity-jillion” times (in reality, probably somewhere close to 15 times), I have started to pick up on little continuity errors throughout the series.
