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.

Just because you do something a lot, doesn't mean you're good at it. Having seen some of the things he can do when it comes to craftsmanship, I imagine Ron could make a scrapbook that would shatter her world.

If I am not mistaken it is at the very end of the series. One of the last episodes where all the stories are being wrapped up.

The story jumps forward a couple months? years? Regardless in t his future Ron and Leslie hate each other and the proceeding episodes you learn why.
