Nothing, as it was not a serious offer.

That is as long as the offering party made it clear the offer was made in jest and other party was aware the offer was made in jest. Otherwise the offerer may find themselves expected to honor their offer, especially if there were witnesses. Jesting is often one-sided. The other party does not always get the joke.
