The quasi-sequel to the underrated 1995 Robin Williams adventure romp Jumanji is in theaters today. Jake Kasdan's take on the burgeoning franchise is set inside a video game and stars Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, and more. On Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle release eve, Johnson and Hart stopped by BBC Radio 1 to eschew the traditional interview format in favor of playfully hurling insults at each other.

Among the delightful turns of phrases exchanged during the nearly four-minute roast war are "nipple head," "titty head," and "buff Urkel." Catch the charming display in full in the video up top.

Good news. Let's leave Mrs. Doubtfire alone, everyone.
