When you’re called ‘Laughing Cavalier’ but you’re not actually laughing (Franz Hals’s ‘Laughing Cavalier’ at the Wallace Collection):

When you’re about to be crucified but your mate does his Ali G impression and you're like ‘maaaate! whatareyoulike?!’ (Hieronymous Bosch’s ‘Christ Crowned with Thorns’ at the National Gallery):
