Answer:

Since there is no direct object, the “ classic construction” of a passive voice sentence is not possible.

So, let’s rig a fake one (or two):

He was laughed at by them.

It was he who was laughed at by them.

Explanation:

Active: They laughed at him.

Passive: He was laughed at [by them].

Commentary: In order to find an object to promote to the subject position here, you must either consider laughed at to be a prepositional verb, or invoke the prepositional passive. Your pick!
