How do you deal with condescending people?

I have this one guy who's in all my Year 12 classes who just speaks in a condescending manner, and if I had to describe it, it would be like a Redditor and a Tory merged together. I and many people just find it annoying and of course, I shouldn't concern myself with other people but obviously, that's not easy when this is constantly around you.

Pretend he's doing a cameo/comedy routine, laughing at people that make you angry defuses that anger by deflecting it onto humour.
I ignore it. How other people act is beyond my control. By remaining unbothered, you take away their ability to garner a negative reaction.
