It was a funny party?  Only if someone did something funny.  I've
never heard that usage, except among my Israeli students.  It was a
FUN party -- I had a lot of fun there.  According to Merriam-Webster,
"fun" is both a noun and an adjective, depending on how you use it. 
Although "fun" and "funny" certainly derive from the same word, I
don't believe that "funny" is the adjective form of the noun "fun".
