I'm exaggerating obviously but this type of dialogue really does take me out of the story, which is why I dislike it so much. It's a lack of earnestness, like the story is afraid of taking itself seriously, like it's embarrassed about being what it is so it keeps making fun of itself.
My favorite works of fiction, literary or otherwise, are over the top gonzo shit that plays it completely straight and takes itself seriously, and that's peak, that's what the pinnacle of fiction is to me. You get a seemingly wacky premise (say, "what if breakdancers got superpowers from magic fruit") and then play it as serious as a funeral, THAT'S how you do peak fiction.
