Laughing at oneself?

Can the verb "reírse"  also mean "to laugh at oneself"?

Hola Marcos

You need to add "de uno mismo" or "de sí mismo" to convey that. If It´s only reírse, then you´re just saying "to laugh" (it´s a pronominal verb) 

This may be useful to reinforce this: emphatic reflexive pronouns
