It's can be funny vs It can be funny

The correct phrase is "it can be funny." The modal verb "can" is used to express possibility or ability, and it should be followed by the base form of the verb (in this case, "be"). The phrase "it's can be funny" is incorrect because the contraction "it's" stands for "it is" or "it has," and it cannot be followed by another verb directly.
