You can get them to stop the joke by ignoring it. Right now they enjoy your reaction. Once that enjoyment is gone the joke will stop.

Sounds like you need new friends! Real friends don’t do stuff like that!

That's where I've seen this name before.

If that's the case, they aren't friends. They have no respect for the OP and only keep him around as an easy punching bag.

Here's what you do. Play along with it to the point that it makes THEM uncomfortable. Start "flirting" with them. Sit really close to them on the couch and bat your eyelashes at them. Tell them "Jake is cute, but I just realized YOU are way cuter!". Be really obnoxious with the flirting and don't let up. Start calling each of them things like "big boy". Touch their arms accordingly and fawn over how muscular they are.

The point is, play their game and act like you are having as much fun with it as they are. When they see you aren't bothered by their teasing, they will drop it. It's only fun to them because they see it bothers you.

But I do have to wonder if these guys are even worth being friends with. They sound like a bunch of jerks.

Lol that’s easier said than done but I can try it. The joke hardly ever actually comes up, but when it does it is incredibly frustrating.

Do NOT try that.
I've seen your situation before, a couple of times I guess, in which the "make them uncomfortable with flirting" was attempted. It did not work. Enemies were made, and it escalated into a fight in one case.
Secondly, it's dishonest in the same way that the so-called joke is dishonest.

This is very Bad idea. The OP has stated he's concern the joke will affect his rep with girls. If he even manages to pull this off as what you suggested, well well well those nasty boys will have more juicy tales to play up their jokes it only gets bigger and bigger.......

Yeah it's both disgusting to force a reaction out of someone like that, as well as be forced to be a couple with inappropriate someone
