Best one is to respond to something they say with "Oh that's quite interesting" in the flatest tone possible, then move the conversation on to a different topic or exit.

Works particularly well on Americans because in American English "quite" is an amplifier modifier but their brain will be confused by the flat (not sarcastic) tone.
