Sorry mate. IMO this is really bread and butter for a team leader.

You’re not children. You don’t need to be “nice” or “mean”.

hey guy
I’m really enjoying working with you. You seem to be amazing at x. I’m really hoping I can learn about y from you.
If I’m really honest though, I just can’t concentrate with the fart noises. I know it’s just a joke and maybe others are ok with it but it really disrupts my flow, every time.
Anyhow, how have you been going with z.

Fair point I am probably overthinking it.

There is an effective formula for feedback I like.

When you x it has y effect

Pause for them to reply, ask questions, or even better - suggest an alternative

It would be better if z

In this case, when you make repeat the same joke it loses all humor value and becomes an annoyance.

It would be better if jokes were limited in use, and certainly not repeated.
