laughed with
Joined in mirth
To laugh with someone is to share in their amusement, laughing alongside them rather than at their expense.
The phrase distinguishes friendly, mutual laughter from mockery: We laughed with her at the story, not at her for telling it.
It implies inclusion and camaraderie—you're in on the joke together.
