One of the first wedding gifts my wife and I bought for ourselfs was a figurine of Tigger and Piglet of Winnie the Pooh fame riding in a wooden cart, both smiling grinning from ear to ear. The caption on the bottom says, "We have two speeds, fun and funner!".

I think that especially with the words funner and funnest, the fact that it does reflect a less formal or even "wrong" gramatical expression contributes to the desired effect of recreating child like glee, by capturing a child like idiom or manner of speaking.
