So 6____, 7_____,and 8____are all synonyms of funny.But they mean funny in a slightly different way:hilarious means very 9_____,in the sense that it makes you laugh out 10____, comical means funny in a 11 ____way, and priceless can mean 12______funny.There are some other synonyms of funny too, including: 13_____and 14______.
