laughably

In farcical fashion

Laughably means in a way that invites ridicule or scorn, usually because something falls so short of adequacy that mockery is the natural response: The security measures were laughably inadequate.

It can also mean to an absurd degree: a laughably simple solution to what seemed like an impossible problem.
