Colloquial form vs. "dictionary" form:
「わらってた」＝「わらっていた」
「ん」＝「の」
「じゃ」＝「では」
Put together, 「わらっていたのでは」 means "if you just kept laughing".
「では」, in this context, is like 「だと」 in meaning -- "if".
「なあ...わらってたんじゃわからねえよ。」
thus, means:
"Y'know, I don't get the picture if you just keep laughing."

Worth noting that ん is fairly common in regular speech, even as 〜んです, and how common the contraction to じゃ is too. May 14, 2015 at 13:39
