gone along with the gag
Joined the joke
To go along with the gag is to play along with a joke, pretense, or scheme, often despite knowing it's not serious or true.
The phrase suggests cooperating with someone else's bit rather than spoiling it: I knew he was lying about being a prince, but I went along with the gag.
It implies willing participation in harmless deception or humor.
