Writer's block; funny to or for
Hi,
1) I heard a writer talking about writer's block in an interview, but he said something that didn't sound good to my ear.
"I was in the first stage of writing and I was already experiencing the writer's block."
Shouldn't it be without 'the'?
2) I know that something can be funny to someone. I was just wondering if 'for' is also an option.
"The whole situation started off as being awkward but eventually became funny for everyone."
Thank you.
