This is a scene in Spiderman 2 where James Jonah Jameson hires Peter Parker to photograph a big American Hero party regarding his son, who is an astronaut. Peter ask if he could be paid in advance. In response, James lets out a sarcastic laughter that shows his face curled up and wrinkled.

He exhibits signs of laughter and sarcasm. All the while, he is rather dumbfounded being asked by Peter of such request. To which he changes to a more serious tone and repeats himself. 

Just by turning away and letting out a laugh, you can in his face that he wasn't impressed and rather found it funny. Even with his eyes closed and face wrinkling, you can feel his expression. Even when he looks back at Parker, he starts letting out a much hearty laugh. He even wheezes at the beginning that makes you know that he found it so hilarious.
