comparative, superlative of funny

[Dany]

I am a little confused. Which of the following is correct?

1.) funny, funnier, funniest
or
2.) funny, more funny, most funny



Thanks for your help

I agree, although the #2 variants are quite acceptable in some contexts (particularly when reinforced with, say, even).

b

ps - This refers to the -er form, of course, and any possible continuation - ...even more funny. The most funny, though,...

Thank you too, BobK

You're welcome.

As Bob K suggested, the rules for comparatives and superlatives are flexible. Both ways of forming them are appropriate for many adjectives and adverbs.
