In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Tidus' Laugh” is a common card of the Memes World series 76, number 22541 of the collection, and the 29th best-known meme of its 298 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Tidus' Laugh” meme mean?
Quoting Tidus’ laugh means calling up a moment of fully embraced awkwardness. The laughter rings false, the acting feels stiff, and that mismatch is exactly the joke. People drop it after a joke that falls flat, as a fake-cheerful reply, or on a deliberately absurd video. Among fans of the series it can also be an affectionate way of teasing a game they love. Irony rules here: you are laughing at the laugh, not at any punchline.
Where does the “Tidus' Laugh” meme come from?
The scene comes from Final Fantasy X, released in 2001 on PlayStation 2. During a sad moment, Yuna asks Tidus to laugh, and he launches into a forced fit of laughter. Because FFX was the first mainline entry with full voice acting, the scene exists in both the Japanese and English releases. Since launch, fans have mocked or misread it, and it is often cited as an example of clunky English dialogue. For years it stayed inside the Final Fantasy fandom, with only a few edits in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Around 2015 it came roaring back through YTPMVs, music remixes born from YouTube Poop. On March 23, 2016, the English voice actor explained in a video how the laugh was recorded. On September 8, 2016, modder Johnny Mac released Tidus Fantasy X, a mod swapping the game’s soundtrack and Tidus’ dialogue for the laugh.
