the funniest vs the most funny

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'The funniest' is used when comparing multiple things or people to determine which one is the most funny. 'The most funny' is used when describing a single thing or person as being the most funny out of a group. Therefore, it depends on the context and what you want to convey.
