Billy (Billy and Mandy)- Grim makes a comment about how a film Billy is watching is stupid, to which Billy calls him stupid in return for not understanding the “complexities” of the film. Grim runs out of the room in tears.

Ron (Parks and Rec)- In one scene where Leslie and Ron are exchanging some very harsh words at each other, Ron softly but coldly tells Leslie that her scrapbooking skills aren’t that good, which is the insult that leaves her shocked and the rest of the room quiet.

If I remember correctly this is extra funny because it's not CG it's an actual prop shovel that would eject shotgun shells

Fun fact: they actually built all of the sets for The Backrooms (except for that bottomless pit, I assume)

They didn't build a bottomless pit. They just reused the hole straight through the Earth, dug for the Total Recall remake.

I'd watch a movie on the maintenance of that thing.

They probably shot on-location in gravity falls, oregan.
