The laughing scene is voice acted PERFECTLY. The entire point of the scene is that it's awkward and uncomfortable. It's unnatural, and forced, because it's being used as a mask for the way deeper issues that both characters are feeling. It's also a release valve for stress and pressure, the characters basically forgetting about how others would see them and just doing something wacky to get their minds off things. It is a horribly, horribly awkward scene, yes. But there is almost nothing wrong with it. Everything about it fits perfectly. The writing fits the situation and characters brilliantly, the scene itself makes perfect sense (especially when you know what's really going on with Yuna), and the voice acting fits exactly with what's happening. Oh, and lest we forget, the reaction of the other characters to it was also spot on "We just thought you'd gone nuts, yah?"
People don't like it because it's weird. But weird isn't the same as wrong.
Seymour's voice did fit the character perfectly, which is a shame, because the character is a complete non-entity. They could have at least given him a voice with personality, but noooooo...
