Four word to repeat, as often as needed, every time he opens his mouth.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

Seriously. Every goddamned time he starts running his mouth, tell him to shut the fuck up, then either leave the area or turn your back and ignore him.

More fun: leave out the “Bwahahaha” part and deliver your lines in a dead-serious voice. Be a little hushed, and occasionally, look around furtively.
