*Kind of spoilers*
At the end of S5 E21 Robin threatens to move out of the apartment she shares with Ted after him and Barney try and "win her back" even though she is in a happy relationship with Don. Ted then goes to the bar and tells Barney that she hasn't said anything else about leaving. He gets home finds an empty milk carton in the fridge and is annoyed that Robin left it there so goes to her room to tell her but finds it empty with nothing in it but the blue French horn in the corner.

it’s played as a joke with heavy metal music over it, but there is a scene between Barney and Robin I found triggering. They scream at each other (again you can’t hear anything but the music), and Barney rips open his shirt and signals that he wants Robin to stab him

Robin's father treats her badly and this is shown in several flashbacks. He leaves her in the wilderness alone at 16 for several days. He sends her to military school and burns her clothes. He treats her as a boy as he wishes he had a son. He calls her a disappointment and says that he tells his friends she is in a coma.

S4 E10 centres around a fight between two men who took the group's normal seats in the bar and Barney, Ted and the bartender. Ted and Barney never actually fight them but they spend the episode claiming they did and almost experience legal repercussions but eventually come clean. The bartender does however fight the two men and the aftermath of their injuries are seen (although they are fairly minor) At the end the bartender tries to attack Ted and Barney but Marshall punches him instead. A flashback is also shown of Marshall fighting his brothers although it is suggested to have been playfighting.
In S3E6 someone using Ted's name as his stage name says that he is doing it because once he was being beaten up by bullies behind his school when Ted appeared and saved him. No fight is shown.

This should be everything, I compiled all of those in the comments and added some that had been missed from my watch. As a severe emetephobe the incidents did bother me but were absolutely not as bad as most shows and things as there is never any visual except s7 ep1

s2 ep22: ± 19:00 the guy who works at the restaurant says “your wife just thr*w up in the trash” so just a mention, not sure if there’s sound cause i turned mine off when he said it cause i was scared
s3 ep8: 1:50 someone sitting behind marshall at the exam
s4 ep7: 14:10 lilly v in a trash can in marshall’s office

They are pointing out annoying habits in each other and Lily’s annoying habit is that she chews loudly so the episode will frequently cut to her chewing loudly. It exaggerates the sound so it’s super loud crunching sounds.

Barney gets scared and breaks down when threatened with slaps from the slap bet (this is taken as humour and it isn't shown if he is actually scared or just trying to guilt his friends into not hitting him but either way it might be uncomfortable)

Ted shows up wearing a dress in one episode, it's not a joke as in "it's funny because he's wearing a dress" but rather an inside joke between the characters, could potentially be upsetting though

A lot of characters poke fun at characters' masculinity. Specifically in S2E9, Barney slaps Marshall as part of a bet and then mocks him "Are you gonna cry?" and in "The Chain of Screaming" Marshall gets made fun of for crying at work.
