I legit feel bad for the dude. He is probably a lonely person with no friends who only knows how to communicate with jokes because he doesn't have anything interesting about him aside from that. I love dark humor, there have probably even been times where I've inserted jokes into conversations that didn't need them. I think it's fine to be honest with someone and say that the friendship won't work out. But you probably destroyed him. I guess you have to do what's best for you though, god knows bad jokes are the worst. I could be wrong though, since you probably don't know his personal life much. I just know that in High School, I resorted to being a class clown to get any interaction I could. And if I was in college right now I'd probably do the same.

Do Americans always take the side of the fire starter or just when they can relate to him?

There's nothing wrong with clowning around and trying to humor your way into social situations.   But there's a point where you're not "just being cheeky" anymore and turn to an actual dick no one wants to be around.
