I always fight fire with fire.
Like, I'll tell them about the one time that a post of mine on an online surfer magazine forum got over twenty likes.

Start name dropping erBB handles and explain the difference between stock and stoke.
Start a conversation about macroeconomics and don't stop talking until he falls asleep or walks away.
Take a shot every time he says something annoying.
Make up bingo cards with all the BS he usually spouts and hand them out to everyone except him.

Talk to him like you are talking to a beloved pet.
Make a face like you are trying to talk to a little baby.
He won't know what hit him.
Why talk to someone who irritates you so badly?
how about a simple “cool story bro, I’m gonna grab another drink and catch up with you later”
sitting at a table?
get involved in other conversations
don’t want to be rude? Smile and nod
id probably get pretty high and just be amused by it

When there's only a few of us it happens.
see above
Has been my strategy
3 hours or so straight of it is tough.
I'm just going to lay down it down to her - this guy is intolerable, plan on going along without me from here on out.
Bro man up and take care of business yourself and establish dominance over this dude. Let him corner you at a social gathering thinking he has a victim to regale with tales of his spec op bros. Tell him even though you’re married you’re also into dudes and leave at that to start. If it doesn’t scare him off, you have to fall back and rely on superior firepower and superior intelligence and escalate the situation. Compliment him on his physique and ask if he wouldn’t like a gym bro. Make sure to ask if he’s into saunas and post workout massages
There are some couples where the guy is a bore and the girl is great
i think it’s fine to hang with the cool girl and ignore the bore
but just saying you aren’t going should work too
Tell me you've never been to a drainer party without telling me you've never been to a drainer party.
easy - after the second time i roll my eyes and call them out in a joking way.
"Hey, you dropped something."
"huh?"
"A name!"
a little haha they get the point without getting offended. One of my good friends is the biggest name dropper,. people no one else even knows and he needs to be constantly reminded.

You're taking this all wrong.
You should be flattered.
He is impressed/intimidated by you and he's trying to win your favor by getting you to think he's important and worthy of your attention.

I was Tony Hawk's manager. I taught him how to ride a skateboard. My uncle invented the first skateboard.
My buddy's parents apparently hang with a guy like this. Buddy was complaining that his family drives down to visit and the guy swings by and is this non-stop tool the whole time.
He was talking them into some sort of silly investment thing that sounded like a scheme or swindle, and I think Jamie Dimon had said something about long-term performance of the S&P 500 and other good benchmarks around that time.
So I told my buddy, next time you're down there, say Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, says this is nonsense compared to the S&P 500.
Apparently the dude immediately said Bobby invests with him, and that they're buddies, and Jamie Dimon is known as Bobby to his friends. The parents wholeheartedly believed this.

The forum's all-time best name dropper was BonzerFiveFan.
Truly epic.
I think I still have his email around here somewhere...
