I actually don't see Orwell's work as "making fun of bureaucracy." If I had to choose a section of the novel that could be taken in that way, I'd choose the end of the novel when we see the pigs compiling reports, memoes, and minutes. Nothing is done with them, but none-the-less they are created.

I don't think that bureaucracy is the target of Orwell. At the end though we do see shades of a redundant bureaucracy as the pigs are playing poker, there seem to be more of them and they don't do much except use the farm's energy and assets.

Right from the beginning,the writer made use of red tape by setting rules.The same rules could be edited by those privileged to be the bosses so as to fit them.All animals believed in the rule of the seven laws which in the essence were creating bureaucracy.Basically bureaucracy dictates the plot.
