Doin' The Scarn in last night's episode of The Office. (Wasn't it called Threat Level: Midnight in that script-reading episode all those years ago?? I think it's funnier with the colon in the title. So Michael.)

Bachelorette: Ever banged an entire bachelorette party baby?
Karen: Why are you singling my line out like a million years later?

 

  

You jump to the right and you shake a hand
And you jump to the left and you shake that hand
You meet new friends, you tie that yarn
And that’s how you do the Scarn!

 -- Fuck Yeah Rashida Jones!

TV Guide has confirmed Rashida will be reprising her role as Karen Fillipelli in an upcoming episode of The Office. Click here for more info about the February 17th episode.

Some info about her appearance in Fight For Your Right Revisited:
Rashida is one of several celebrity cameos; she gets hit on by the Boys and says "You wish, turkeys!"

But not just any actors. Seth Rogen portrays the Beasties’ Michael “Mike D” Diamond, Elijah Wood embodies Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz and a trash-talking Danny McBride channels '80s-era Yauch via four-day growth of beard and sleazy leather jacket.

The trio rob a bodega, spray beer all over passersby on a New York-esque (read: Hollywood movie studio backlot) street and generally raise havoc wherever they go, terrorizing a Who’s Who of movie bigshots in the process: Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Will Arnett among them -- but also Kirsten Dunst, Rashida Jones and Orlando Bloom (wearing a vintage Def Jam jacket in homage to the group's former record label). But the Beastie party mayhem doesn’t stop there. The “Beasties” are picked up by “metal chicks” portrayed by Chloe Sevigny and Maya Rudolph with whom they ingest whippets and drop liquid acid.

The whole, ahem, brouhaha culminates with a confrontation with none other than the “Beastie Boys from 25 years in the future”: Will Ferrell (as Ad-Rock), John C. Reilly (as Mike D) and a petulant Jack Black as MCA. A wild break dance contest turns into an actual pissing contest that is broken up by a trio of New York cops –the real Beastie Boys.
