That means:

1. Don't be a wet blanket.

2. Don't spoil the occasion!

3. Don't spoil the party (with your unfunny jokes)!

etc.

I should have also mentioned that this particular phrase is completely both region- and gender-specific besides being slangish. It's Kanto and masculine.

So, please don't think that all of you can say the same thing next time you'd like to say in Japanese "Don't be a wet blanket!".
