Probably because they're typical "dumb Americans" who just think it's a silly foreign guy who can't properly pronounce the word "Godzilla", instead of realizing that the name of the first movie (and the actual Japanese name of the monster) is "Gojira", which isnt' a bad translation of "Godzilla", it's the other way around. Don't get me wrong, I love the name Godzilla, it's what I grew up with, and what I know him as. But the word "Godzilla" has zero meaning. So people laughing are laughing for the wrong, and dumbest, of reasons.

I think you are taking it the wrong way. Many people here know that, but even more know that is the classical way of pronoucing the name. It was like an inside joke tribute, they were happy to hear it, got the joke, and found it funny. They laughed because they liked the joke.
It is very much a film for the fans.
