10 TV Mistakes You Can’t Unsee

10. Ted’s (Not-So-) Dangerous Date - How I Met Your Mother

A beloved sitcom which managed to spoil its appeal with a disastrous finale, How I Met Your Mother was no stranger to huge mistakes. However, we’ve decided that “the entire finale” was too big a misstep to include on this list, so fans of the Josh Radnor starring series will have to be content with this smaller, stranger screw up featured in one of the shows best episodes.

During a date which serves to prove the show's resident womaniser Barney right about his "crazy eyes" theory, the show's luckless protagonist Ted is shocked when his until-now normal paramour grabs a metal pole and plants it through the windshield of a car which almost bumped into them. Watch closely though—a moment after she smashes the windshield, she takes another swing at what is clearly a miraculously whole and undamaged windshield.

It may be a minor enough screw up, but it’s still one which jars with the viewer upon a rewatch—which is particularly unfortunate given that this’s widely agreed to be one of the shows most critically acclaimed outings.
