When A is making fun of B in front of everyone, and C, who's B's friend says "Hey, go pull the legs off a spider.", to A, C is telling A to find something better to do with their time than to make fun and laugh at C.

B is the one being laughed at by A.
C, in saying this to A, is doing several things at the same time.
