Laugh like they told a joke, and say "oh, you're so *funny*"

Oh please don't do this if you can help it. This has always been my default for dealing with people making of or insulting me and it always makes me feel so bad. Once you make a habit of laughing off insults, people don't think twice about continuing to make you a target because, on the surface, you take their jabs with good humor and they can pretend you guys are just joking around even when they are purposely being mean and you're actually hurting on the inside. I used to laugh off getting punched in the face or get threatened with other bodily harm and I'm still mad at myself for it. I still take shit with a smile because it's easier, but it doesn't ever actually help things and I don't think it's a good way to deal with someone insulting you.

Well, I don't recommend it if you're sensitive to that kind of treatment.

But physical abuse is a whole different ballgame, and clearly not something to treat like a joke.

I'm sorry people were such assholes to you.

I don't think they mean a genuine laugh, but more sarcastic... I don't know how I can say what I'm imagining, because it really has to do with the tone of voice.

It's less "laughing it off," and more dismissive, I think.

Passive-aggressive, then. Not a good tack to take.

I find it suitable.

Then again, I'm assuming OP isn't looking for a permanent solution to the problem, or trying to get the offending person to do some serious soul searching. They just want to ruin that person's fun in the moment.
