In the clip, the actors lip-synced verses from two popular hip-hop songs, with Dinklage, 48, representing the fiery Doritos Blaze on one side, versus Freeman, 80, showcasing the coolness of the MTN Dew Ice on the other.

The Game of Thrones star bravely tackles Busta Rhymes’ verse in the Chris Brown song “Look at Me Now.” The rapper even makes a surprise appearance in the clip inside a picture frame as Dinklage’s coach. Once Dinklage takes a bite of a chip, the whole room is covered in flames as he spits his verse and fire comes out of his mouth.
