Can you say both?
1 What he said wasn't funny so we had to act as if it was funny/we had to feign laughter.
Thanks

act as if it were funny. Why did they "had to"? Did they just do it, or were they "forced" to do it?

... act as if it were funny.

I don't like feign laughter; make it feign amusement or feign being amused. (because you can not really feign laughing: either you are laughing or you are not. However, you can feign amusement and that can in turn be achieved by laughing.)
