'made to dissolve ourselves into fits of laughter?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'made to dissolve ourselves into' is the wordplay.
'to dissolve' indicates an anagram.
'ourselves' becomes 'us'.
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'made' anagrammed gives 'amed'.
'amed' placed around 'us' is 'AMUSED'.
