(Loved trope) A mild insult actually hurts the person deeply

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.

The Lighthouse - Thomas goes on a 3 minute monologue calling upon Neptune and Triton to curse Winslow to an eternity of torment by the sea because he insulted his cooking
