Thread is not meant as a zing. I'm sure the original context and joke are funny. But I'm not sure how, and I'd like to better know the family of joke optimization functions, f, and ilx contexts, x, where f(x)="Jeff." Because "Jeff." is almost certainly the best punchline, and the best laughs are sure to come where we can use it. So let's work backwards.

wtf is this shit, you all sound like my 11 year old, who keeps walking around saying "my name is jeff" as though that is a hysterical punchline in and of itself.
