Alternative ways to say "I am feeling pushed to the ground"

Question

Assume a get together where a group of friends are having chit chat over tea. Suddenly they plan to pull someone's leg together. No matter what the person in the spotlight says, people are not supporting him and teasing him playfully or in malice. This is the point where the person can use the above statement which means nobody is supporting him. Is there any other way (s)he could say it? I need both the formal and informal ways preferably with a humorous yet firm connotation.

Edit 1: I need an expression which would provide an indication to others to let you go/cut you some slack in a very friendly way like the above the expression does.

Answer 1

You could say he was the butt of the joke

the reason for or aim of a joke, especially when it is a person. Poor Fred was the butt of every joke told that evening.

McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs

The origin of the phrase is discussed in this ELU question and answer.

A more formal term might be taunt

1. to provoke or deride with mockery, contempt, or criticism

2. to tease; tantalize

You also could say I don't enjoy the put downs (or being put down)

(informal) something that you say or do to criticize someone or make them appear foolish:

I see the term as a put-down of women.

She was getting very sick of Mick's put-downs.

Answer 2

You could say:

• "Please stop teasing me, you make me feel like the laughing stock of everyone".

• someone who does something very stupid which makes other people laugh at them (usually + of ). I can't cycle around on that old thing! I'll be the laughing stock of the neighbourhood.

(Cambridge Idioms Dictionary)

Answer 3

You're ganging up on me!

Feeling ganged up on, or some variation of it. When a group of people all join in, in opposition to a single person.

Answer 4

"Okay, okay, uncle!" (said by the person getting attacked).

To cry uncle: Concede defeat, as in The Serbs want the Bosnians to cry uncle, Farlex Dictionary of Idioms

The phrase I've proposed is a bit sarcastic. It's an amusing way of showing that the person was being quite aggressive.

If you think your teasers won't be familiar with cry uncle, here's an alternative:

(Slapping both hands to clutch your chest dramatically, while falling, or almost falling, out of your chair) You got me! Man down!

Answer 5

My twelve-year-old and spouse contribute:

First, act out crying. Then, holding the imaginary dagger sticking in your chest with one hand (elbow sticking out sideways), suddenly hitting your forehead with the back of your other hand histrionically, and leaning back like you've been hit, declaim à la Hamlet: "Before I die, I must tell everyone the sad story of my life and all my failings so that they may avoid dying an untimely death as I lie dying here -- I was born three minutes too early to be the first baby born in the new year in my town" and more boring imaginary details of your life story.

They say the key is the style of delivery.
