Yes, "har, har" has the same meaning as "ha, ha". "Har, har" is said when someone wants to respond to something funny, without actually laughing. "Har, har" is often used sarcastically in response to someone who thinks they are being funny, but they aren't. Ex: (Person 1): This ugly dress would look great on you! (Person 2): Har, har. You're so funny. (Har, har used in a sarcastic way)
