** The gang frequently plays their younger selves in flashback sequences, even to when they're teenagers.
** Done pretty literally when James Van Der Beek guest starred as Robin's old boyfriend and played both his teenage self and his middle-aged self (of course, teenage Robin is also played by Cobie Smulders).
** Inverted with Robin who is actually a couple of years ''older'' than Cobie Smulders is in real life (presumably to shift her being a news anchor out of [[Improbable Age]] territory).
*** Lampshaded in one episode, when Barney claims Robin always says she's two years younger than what she really is.
