pejorative-languagesingle-word-requests

That person who tries to act funny or "cool", but he turns out to be cringey and tacky instead. What do you call that person?

Example: Look at Todd, interfering in our conversations, telling us jokes about chickens crossing the road and failing to make us laugh. I cringe when he does this. He is just so [insert word].

Typically, it would be considered tactful to describe such a person as awkward or socially awkward.

There are also a lot of offensive/insulting terms, including terms like weird, creepy, and socially retarded. I wouldn't recommend using those.
