More funny or funnier

[Patrick87]

Hi there,

When do you use "more funny" and when do you use "funnier"? Let's have a look at two samples sentences, which will explain a bit further what I mean.

A. Mr Smith is more funny than Mrs Jones
B. Mr Smith is funnier than Mrs Jones.

In this case, I would say that both of them are correct, but I am not sure.

C. Mr Smith is more funny than serious.
D. Mr Smith is funnier than serious.

I think, only example C would be correct, because D sounds illogical. What do you think?

Best regards,
Patrick

A and B are both OK. I would use B. C is correct, D is not.
