Why YSK: it doesn’t matter how original you might think you are, they have heard them before. Numerous times in fact. If you’re in the habit of making name-based jokes as soon as you meet someone you should stop. At best you’re mildly annoying the person, at worst you’re preventing what could have been a great friendship before it even begins.
Sincerely: someone named Jesse. (And yes - I know you wish you had my girl, also … Springsteen, really?)
I agree, but the temptation to appear funny is strong.
Name-based jokes should definitely die. Especially if it’s from people you just met!
However, they are still above ethnicity-, body-, gender-based comedy for basically the same reasons.
i thought that sarcasm was the lowest form of comedy
I’ve always heard puns were. I don’t believe it though. I mean a good pun is its own reword.

I’ll see myself out.
I appreciate you and your pun.
