He has a tendency to laugh when he feels powerless it’s a reaction of stress, powerlessness, hopelessness and immense sadness

[JoeTheCrusader]

I always understood it as a response to a severely traumatic experience.

[UpturnTheUncool]

A LOT of people forget that he wasn’t always angry this season. He only got that way after Sasha and his realization that him trying to change things wasn’t working, so he went with this unyielding laser-focused determination to obtain the founders power to (hopefully) change it.

It's the same reason why he asked Mikasa if she loved him in Marley. He knew full well what her answer was going to be, and what would happen if she gave a different answer. He wanted to know if the future was destined. That's why when the old man greets them with tea, he says "perfect timing"

After Sasha's death, he finally reaches his breaking point, as he realizes there's nothing he can do to escape that future.

There is a theory that says that when Sasha dies, her last word is not 肉 (niku) (meat in Japanese) but Nicolo but she couldn't finish speaking.

[ZeroMustang]

This actually raised my eyebrows it makes so much sense, especially when you mention how he knew when his fate was sealed and when he changed his attitude

[Falmingo.]

I immediately could tell that there was something wrong when he started laughing at Sasha's death so my overthinking made me come to that same conclusion that he already knew this was gonna happen.

[SwordlordRoy]

The Tragedy of Eren is actually similar to Paul Atreides in Dune, he is a Prophet trapped within his own vision. Throughout the course of his journey, he tries time and time again to jink and weave, hoping to deny the awful reality he has forseen, but ultimately becomes convinced that nothing will stop it. So, rather than fight Destiny, he seeks to control it to minimize the damage as best he can.

People sometimes laugh when under extreme stress. You just don't know how to deal with it. I was annoyed when Connie yelled at him about it

[ramkaushik.a.m]

He did the same breakdown laugh in s2 end when hannes died. So many didnt realize it
Edit:Y'll need to chill with the likes it's getting crazy dawg.

Really big fan of aot and really thankful of you for helping me get some of the hard parts in the anime to get explained...😊

[Albymaverick]

Eren’s whole character revolved around freedom and making your own choices, at that moment, he realized he was still a slave to fate and was helpless to do anything about it, and gave in.

This show has more layers than 1, 000 onions together ❤️

"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"

[iamtheslumlordmusic]

Once I saw the two brother’s episode it i put two and two together, that laugh was literally “well, im doomed cus i thought i could change my fate but its all according to the plan” 😞

[delta_bluesontwitch]

It was just a hysterical reaction to trauma.

[heal_me]

Eren laughed because of that one scene from Bin Bang Theory

[bharjil_jan]

I can feel that because I also laugh when anger and sadness together goes beyond control 🙃

[awesumtoast]

Because he laughs when he knows he's hopeless and when he's "failing". Kind of like a nervous "I'm fucked" type of laughter

[StevenMcSteve]

If I was in any of the scouts shoes I probably would've laughed as well, not because I find her death funny but because even while dying she was thinking about food, just such a Sasha thing to do, I was devastated at her death but even I found that part pretty funny
