^^ I don't think it was meant as a funny skit or joke, at least not the main reason.

Saiko is able to survive in this harsh environment of CCG hunts Ghoul by adapting, in her case comparing it to a fictional world like those manga she reads & animes she watches. It's a way to calm her mind & remain sane throughout it.

Her love for that what doesn't exist & her willingness to believe it can all happen, is what allows her to make a click whenever she's confronted with a situation Human Saiko can't handle. That's when so to say Heroine Saiko takes over & acts like we just saw. Excessively over the top, but gets things done in the end.

Much like those Shonen or in general anime/manga-series she follows.

Heroine fights to save a friend, has the lead, gets pushed back, gets pushed back even more, decides to put it all in faith & her love for the person by hugging him & just like in anime & manga it works.

Saiko is very serious actually, she just hides it behind the whole facade of imitating her favorite characters in such a situation, what they would do, what they would say & what they would behave like (weird handsigns for example)

~The power of an otaku, lies in the ability to make something fictional a reality & act upon it her own justice or selfishness, much like any MC would've done it.~

Which ofcourse can lead to completely devastating results to her sanity, when the situation isn't playing out like it would in majority of anime/manga-series. She'd freeze & not be able to function properly anymore, because Human Saiko can't do all that saving stuff, only save herself.

That's how I would explain it.
