definition:  To make fun of, to ridicule, to satirize.

We can do this by making a joke about them, imitating them in an impolite way or making them seem less serious.

Every time Dennis talked about his hobby of collecting comic books, his friends started mocking him.

Martha didn't know she was being mocked when the whole office wore sweaters similar to hers.  They called it "Ugly Sweater Day", but didn't tell her that.
