It turns out Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell make quite natural enemies.

While promoting their latest film together Daddy’s Home, in which the two play rival fathers, the pair appeared on Scott Mills’ BBC Radio 1.

Sitting opposite each other in a dimly lit radio booth, they were tasked with throwing playground insults at each other, the first person to laugh losing the competition. Watch the clip below.

“You’re not a nice person,” starts Wahlberg, in one of the worst insults told in a long time. Things eventually pick up a bit, with Ferrell being called a poor man’s Mike Myers.

“You’re so old, when you were born rainbows were black and white,” responds the Anchorman actor, who was recently revealed to be the third most overpaid actor in Hollywood.

In the end, Wahlberg loses the battle, finally losing his cool when New Kids on the Block and Ashey Ace are brought up.
