Should there be a call

Player A1 did not laugh abnormally hard, just the kind of laugh as though he was having fun. Team B was angry following the game with A1's antics.
I think this is how bad rivalrys are started.

I might call this taunting, depending on how the rest of the game had been going. If they had already been warned about sportsmanship, and then laughed, even just a little, about having fun at the expense of B, I'd definitely call it. As I tell my own kids, if the butt of the joke doesn't think it's funny, then it's NOT funny. But if this was the first real laugh, and it was just because of the silliness of continuing to act dumb, I probably wouldn't. If they had kept it up after two times, I might have called it. I can see why B would be angry, but they certainly had some choices about how to handle the play, instead of just acting like victims.
