How to use it
Fun spent most of its life as a noun, and nouns do not take -er, which is why funner still sounds wrong to a lot of ears. Its use as an adjective is now thoroughly established in speech, and the comparative has followed it there. In anything formal, more fun is the safe choice and costs you nothing. In casual writing, funner is readable and increasingly unremarkable, but it will still draw a red pen from some editors. The rule of thumb that fits the evidence: if more fun would have arrived in that sentence without you thinking about it, use more fun.
