Hi mem286.
OK, thanks a bunch in the U.S. is an informal way of saying thank you very much.
It is not sarcastic. It is a friendly way to say thanks. It is only sarcastic if said in a sarcastic tone of voice. It ranks with thanks a lot!, thanks loads!, thanks tons!
It is most commonly used where a favor is done and you wish to say Thank you!! enthusiatiscally.
