One of the most polarizing and enduring memes in the gaming world, 'Tidus' Laugh' originates from a pivotal scene in Final Fantasy X (2001). In an attempt to cheer up after a series of heavy events, Tidus and Yuna engage in a deliberately forced, awkward laughing exercise. While contextually meant to be unnatural in-game, the scene became legendary online for its stiff voice acting and strange delivery. Internet users repurposed the clip and screenshots to represent situations involving fake joy, uncomfortable social interactions, or high-level cringe. Today, the rhythmic 'HA HA HA HA' remains a universal shorthand for sarcastic amusement and is a staple in the RPG community's meme culture.
