I'm not quite sure what the problem is; that it is a typo for "funnier", or that it was a bit simplistic choice of word?
Hard to explain. It's a misuse of a superlative. For example, when describing the temperatures on a number of summer days, you would say one was "hot", another was "hotter" and yes another was "hottest". The word "fun" doesn't work that way. If you try to use "fun", "funner" and "funnest", it makes one sound uneducated. (Instead, one would say "fun", "more fun" and "much more fun").
