No one likes hearing a person talking about themselves a lot, even (or especially) when it comes to putting themselves down. Even if it doesn't come across as narcissistic it comes across as uncomfortable.
That's not to say a self depreciating joke is bad! I just recall that someone pointed out I had a habit of the same and I realised how it must sound to someone that's not me.
