laugh them off

There's no point in getting upset about such remarks - you've just got to laugh them off.

Could you explain the highlighed parts?

I don't have any idea to surmise as to its meaning.

Thank you Phillip.

So, I think, in the both sentence, the word "got to" means "have to".

Am I right?

We hear "have to", "got to", and even "have got to". I have strong opinions about this, but all three are heard (but not all from my lips).
