面白いVSおかしい I know that both can mean "funny" but hear 面白いmuch more than I hear おかしい What are the differences between the two words, and when are the times that they should be used?

おもしろい means generally funny, amusing or something like that. On the other hand かのじょ は おかしい can be interrupted both funny and weird. It all depends on contexts. Say "crazy" in English for example. You use it sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a bad way. Anyways as you said, おかしい is used less frequently than おもしろい when pointing to something funny, and we use the word in a negative way far often.

I think 面白い is funny, but おかしい means weird...ぜんぜん意味違うと思います。が、おかしいの漢字の書き方は可笑しい,字面的な意味はバカバカしいです。おかしい=変  変態はおかしいひと。
