In my experience with bullying, I don't think anyone recognizes what they're doing as bullying or even as mean-spirited. They usually seem to just think they're being funny. If you kind of pretend you get it and act like you're in on the joke they will be friendlier.
The common answer of ignoring never did much good as far as I could tell. People can tell when you're deliberately ignoring them and they take that as an indication that they're getting to you, which isn't going to discourage them.
