What does it means when the right side of your stomach hurts near your rib area when you laugh or lay on your right side?

Lots of things: There are a variety of things that could cause pain in the area you describe. It could be in your bones or muscle. It could be gallbladder or liver. It could just be gas passing through your large intestine. My advice is to see a doctor if the pain persist or gets worse.
