Two groups on opposite sides of the room take turns insulting each other. It may end with the groups face to face shouting, and hopefully everyone enjoying it. The source suggests trying it in mime as well.

Hold with care
  • Two groups shouting insults at each other with no scripted material and no limit stated — what gets said is whatever the room produces, and the page's only safeguard is the hope that everyone finds it funny
  • Group-versus-group is a different proposition from the site's pairwise Insults exercise: it creates two sides, and in a group with any existing split it will find it
  • The mime version does the same job with no words and is the one to try first
