Make fools of themselves

Why did the boys make fools of themselves at the birthday party?

Hi,
Does "make fools of themselves" in the above refer to "have great fun" or "become goofballs/clowns?" Thanks.

They behaved in a way (we have no idea of what they may have done) that caused other to think they were behaving like fools. Their actions were stupid and reflects badly on themselves.
