I always took it as Tidus being intentionally over the top & awkward to get Yuna to laugh for real, which does happen at the end of the scene. It was purposely ridiculous.
omg, how is this scene still being taken out of context after 10+ years? In the scene mentioned, Tidus, the protagonist of the story, is feeling depressed and Yuna, the summoner who Tidus is guarding, tries to cheer him up. One of her methods is forcing(!) yourself to laugh. It looks ridiculous, it sounds ridiculous, heck, the other characters watching the scene think it’s ridiculous and even Yuna herself at some point tells Tidus he should probably stop. The laugh sounds forced, because it is. And intentionally, at that.
Other common retail phrases:
Workin’ hard or hardly workin’?
How are you today?
If it doesn’t scan, that means it’s free!
I’ll never understand how square let that one get through

Have you seen the whole scene? Just wondering because I think the awkward part gets taken out of context
Yes, I have.
That last one made me laugh
