How does a simple idea end up becoming a signature joke? Why do some comics embrace profanity while others avoid it? Do audiences really matter? In this one-hour HBO special, four stand-up legends–Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and Louis C.K.–answer these questions and more as they let their guards down in an intimate, unscripted conversation about what it means to be a comedian, and how far each has been willing to go to push the limits of taste and originality for a laugh. HBO’s Talking Funny premieres Friday, April 22nd.
The compact yet highly functional Wrex Titanium Pocket Wrench ($180) weighs only 2.9 oz but don’t let its diminutive size fool you. This versatile tool offers a trigger-locking adjustable wrench, an ultra sharp, titanium coated blade attached to the jaw, a wire stripping hole, a double-ended driver bit, a 1/4-inch hex bit driver with o-ring, an included lanyard and a bottle opener. The device will ship in early May.

It’s April Fools 2011 and TechCrunch was kind enough to scour the web for the best online April Fools jokes and pranks and list them in one convenient place.
My personal favorite (not listed) was this item:
This Playmobil Apple Store Playset isn’t a real product but I wish it was. I’m sure many people whipped out their credit cards today and attempted to order it.
From the description:
“A quick peek at the miniature Genius Bar and we were feeling a bit woozy. Then we saw the tiny Steve Jobs presenting in the Keynote Theater on the top floor and that was it. Our wallets popped out faster than you can say Jonathan Ive and we plunked down whatever money was needed to own this amazing playset.
Of course, once we had the playset, we had to get the optional Line Pack to simulate our own exciting Apple product launches. Since it comes with a tiny Woz on a tiny Segway, it was a no-brainer. We decided that Apple & PLAYMOBIL together is the most unlikely and awesome collaboration ever. It changes everything.”
Think Geek has brought its April Fool’s Day products to market before, so it’s possible this could become real someday. Imagine people lined up for hours outside of a real Apple Store to pick up the first day’s release of the Apple Store playset. Kinda’ funny?
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the new trailer for director Todd Phillips’ The Hangover Part II, hitting theaters on May 26. The highly-anticipated follow-up stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Jeffrey Tambor, Mike Tyson, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, Liam Neeson and Bryan Callen.
In The Hangover Part II, Phil (Cooper), Stu (Helms), Alan (Galifianakis) and Doug (Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don’t always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can’t even be imagined.
