Which isn't the case here.

“lying” means “saying something that you know is untrue with the goal of deceiving someone into believing it”

You can lie as a mean joke on someone's expense (haha look at that idiot believing my lie)

But if you don't actually intend to deceive someone beyond the end of your joke, you're not lying. You're joking.
