The rules of the game were simple: that each actor had to insult the other until one of the veteran actors 'absolutely loses it' or someone drops a 'killer insult.'

Reynolds opened the game with a bizarre sledge, calling Brolin: a 'muffin smuggling pirate puncher.'

To which Brolin sarcastically replied, 'Here's my first insult: Ryan, that was really funny.'

The Milk actor then insulted the younger star's biggest box-office flop: Green Lantern.

'You're tall, you're handsome, you have the perfect amount of scruff and you still have no talent. Let's talk about the obvious thing, Green Lan-turd. 

'End of career, and yet you're still going. Why? None of us can understand.' 

Reynolds' next insults turned personal, with him telling Brolin: 'You smell so bad I can hear it' and 'You dress like an old George Hamilton.'

Josh returned fire with a burn that was below-the-belt: 'I was surprised during our sex scene how small your penis was and how big your balls were.'

Ultimately, Josh was declared the winner of the game - by Josh himself.

'You know what, there were a couple of moments that I think Ryan fully superseded my wit, but I think as a general primitive insulting guy, I think I won,' declared the Avengers: Infinity War star. 

'I feel genuinely hurt,' conceded Reynolds.
