The "life of the party " guy so desperate for attention he puts a lampshade on his head/tells terrible jokes. Why does he keep showing up?

No one wants him around. Folks try to avoid him but he will not be ignored. You cannot shut him up. He is so enamored of his own mediocrity/dullness. Is he there because he is an object of derision? Is he there simply to make others feel good about themselves and thankful they are not him? Trying so hard to be liked he turns people off? Ever meet a person like that?

    It's about your pumpkin furhrer OS.  TomT nailed it. I think you would agree that pumpkin furhrer loves lampshades and has them in all colors/configurations. Metaphorically of course. Mahalo for your reply! :)

    The only person that came to mind was Trump after two beers with Putin discussing world affairs.
