Answer

In this situation, you can say '친구가 농담한거야.' The sentence is gramatically correct and sounds natural. 농담하다 means 'to joke.' ~한거야 is a suffix of spoken language, which can be used in the conversation with the acquaintance.

Answer

이봐~ 친구는 그냥 농담이야
이봐~ 친구는 그냥 못된 장난 쳐
이봐~ 친구는 그냥 농담 한 거야

you can add 그는/그녀는 듣지 마(라) between the 2 sentences.
