Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'I've not seen anything funny for ages' implies that the speaker has not seen anything funny in a long time up to the present moment. 'I've not seen anything funny in ages' suggests that the speaker has not seen anything funny for a long period of time in the past. The choice between 'for ages' and 'in ages' depends on whether the emphasis is on the duration leading up to the present or on the past period without anything funny.
