Making jokes is fine, but they need to be at the right time and in perfect timing. In the business world, being a joker is a big plus when it comes to dealing with new or old clients. But then, we need to be sensitive enough to do this. Magical jokes are fine because they can make others' happy and build a good rapport.
How would you respond to a coworker that you believe makes jokes too frequently?

It is true! Everything has to be done with moderate and it should not be in the excess because it will not be palatable.
Having jokes in the workplace once in a while is fine and helps to uplift the mood of workers. However, if a particular worker is making jokes too often, I would try to talk business with him/her or get back to my booth to work.

It is not really good if we hurt someone when making jokes all the time. I usually stay away from them. At some point, I can just call his or her attention to stop.
I do not think that it is a bad thing to make jokes until or unless you offend someone. However, i think that an employee must be serious when the boss is addressing in a serious mood.
Having a colleague that cracks jokes almost all the time at work places is good. At least you can get to stretch nerves with laughter sometimes.
I would just learn to snub such a person. It is when people laugh to his jokes that he keeps on at it.
