Hello, I often hear and use "(It's)funny how" to mean "It's strange that" not to mean "funny" as in amusing. I think it is frequently neutral or negative in this usage. Frequently the subject -verb (It is) is just dropped and understood. "Funny how" is similar to saying "That's funny." when you hear unusual or unexpected news. EX: "(It's) funny how he always disappears when there is work to do." Means I am suspicious about why he leaves. EX: "Funny how I hate coffee, but I love coffee ice cream." Means I think this is a little unusual or without explanation EX: You say "John just left me a message in Spanish." I say "That's funny...he told me he didn't speak Spanish." Hope those help a bit!

"Funny how" means "Don't you think it is funny the way that..." Often expresses irony. For example: "Funny how the people who are most against abortion are often the biggest supporters of the death penalty."

The expression is used when you question how something is funny. Man 1- I thought it would be funny Man 2- Funny How? Woman 1- I thought it would be funny to surprise you Woman 2- Funny How? You know I hate surprises!
