* IKnewIt: Many twists have been accurately predicted over the course of the series:
** Marshall would use the final slap [[spoiler:to stop Barney from freaking out before he got married.]]
** The mother's name being [[spoiler:the same as the stripper from "Belly Full of Turkey"]] was correct.
** The fact that the mother [[spoiler:was DeadAllAlong was a common fan theory even before the show got heavy with {{Foreshadowing}}]].
** Perhaps most surprising of all, [[spoiler: Ted winds up trying to get together with Robin in the end. Despite marrying them both off to other people, they still wind up together… ish.]]

* UnderageCasting: Robin (born 1980) is the youngest character of the main cast but she still actually a couple of years ''older'' than Creator/CobieSmulders (born 1982) is in real life, presumably to shift her being a news anchor out of ImprobableAge territory.

* DVDCommentary: Season 2's "Arrivederci, Fiero" had its writer Chris Harris and star Jason Segel doing a commentary, which involved them stripping to their underwear. For season 3's "The Chain of Screaming", Segel demanded to do the commentary with Harris, who hadn't even written the episode. Before recording, Segel had done shots. During recording, he continued to drink vodka (with Harris) and also produced twelve condoms. For season 4, they went further and recorded a commentary in the personas of "David Ellis Duncan" and "Evan Rock".

* DeletedScene: While the series creators never confirmed the canonicity of deleted scenes, two in particular are, in a way, half-canon: both feature characters remembering unseen past events, and while them remembering isn't officially canon, the remembered events themselves are by way of being mentioned in ''Series/HowIMetYourFather'':
** In a deleted scene from "[[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS9E20Daisy Daisy]]" Ted sees a pineapple put out on The Captain's porch as a sign of hospitality and suddenly remembers stealing one from his other house back in "[[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS1E10ThePineappleIncident The Pineapple Incident]]"[[note]]What makes the scene where Ted remembers about it officially non-canon is his narration from "The Pineapple Incident" in which he specifically mentions they never found out where the pineapple came from, a line Carter Bays would later regret[[/note]] . The Captain remembers someone stealing his pineapple in the HIMYF episode "Timing is Everything".
** In "[[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS7E12SymphonyOfIllumination Symphony Of Illumination]]", Ted promised to tell his kids about the time Robin was a bullfighter, which only happened in a deleted scene from "[[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS9E24LastForeverPartTwo Last Forever, Part Two]]", where Robin told Ted about the time she got gored by a bull. In the same HIMYF episode "Timing is Everything", Sophie meets Robin and brings up this story.

** In something of an inversion, Creator/AlysonHannigan hates her singing voice and asked not to be given much to do there (a similar thing happened with the MusicalEpisode of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''). With that in mind, you'll notice she is never given a complete sentence to sing, such as in "Girls vs. Suits," or given something else to do while another is singing like playing the xylophone, tuba and violin in Marvin's lullaby.
