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?)

    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.
