Get the having a laugh mug.
'Having a laugh' is a remark used to describe a type of comic behaviour that is facetious, ironic or sarcastic. The person may be fooled into believing the other person is being serious, when in fact he's just 'having a laugh'. It's harmless fun.
In some cases it's synonymous with mockery.
But like most things British its subtle and understated.
It's also lighthearted in nature
"Are you suggesting I look like a girl with my long hair"

1. "Are you kidding me?" Typically used in Great Britian.
2. The catchphrase of Andy Millman's (Ricky Gervais) in the tv-show-within-a-tv-show, "When the Whistle Blows". (from Extras.) Spoken in a high pitch and followed by "Is s/he havin' a laff?"
"What would you go for first if you were a piranha?"
"I'd probably just have a bag of crisps."
"Are you having a laugh?"

Steven Grant’s iconic line in Moon Knight. A British expression used in times where something laughably shocking has happened.
Steven: “someone’s having a laugh!”

Steven… again: “you’re having a laugh!”
