Laughing during the Jumuah Khutbah

Q: Does laughing during Friday Khutbah invalidate the prayer and break wudu?

Today, our Imam was telling us about a man who came drunk to Janazah, and the Imam made a funny impressions of the man which made me unintentionally snort in laughter and the person next to me (and likely several others) to smile and barely resist laughing. I wasn't sure whether to get up and redo my wudu again so I stayed seated and later prayed the rakah after Khutbah as normal.

Did this invalidate my Jummah prayer and break my wudu, or does laughing only invalidate it while I'm praying the rakah?
