Usage notes

While funner is a regular comparative of the adjective fun, the comparative more fun is much more common. The use of fun as an adjective is itself still often seen as informal[1] or casual[2] and to be avoided in formal writing, and this would apply equally to the comparative form. Merriam-Webster gives fun as an adjective without comment, and states that funner and funnest are "sometimes" used.[3]
