Has Another Player’s PC “ruined” the Tone of a Game for you?

I'm afraid I am this player right now. The DM did not outline the setting except that it involved a lot of pop culture references.

So I made a Ninja Turtle named Brunelleschi Archibald. The pop culture reference turned out to be more Attack on Titan, with undead eating everyone. Kowabummer.

I don't believe making fun hilarious characters is a problem at all. The problem is only when players aren't clear on their wants from the very start and wants end up crashing into each other.
