If it' just for your own entertainment then it's great fun.
If you gather around them with a bunch of drunken laughing girl friends and make them get up on a table then it is a bit mean. Unless they enjoy it, then it's GREAT FUN!
I don't think it's fair on your partner to "make" them do anything, no matter what it is. If there is something you both enjoy, and are both comfortable with, then go for it. If one of you in not comfortable with doing what you ask, then you need to respect them enough not to insist.
my boyfriend is always doing stupid dances and poses for me it gets me hysterical... usually in some state of undress... and trust me you would never guess for looking at him normally! as long as you're both happy with it and there's enough trust in the relationship it's just a big laugh.
