Famous Funnies?
(definitely something with "fun" in the title)
Offline
Yes, Famous Funnies was the ongoing series, running from 1934-1955, a very healthy run especially considering that it was often (though not always) just comic strip reprints.

6. Four Color
7. Fawcett's Funny Animals
8. Fightin' Five
9. Famous First Edition (I once saw one sell for $500)
16. Fury of Firestorm
Offline
Those are all correct. Some people were fooled by FFF even without the proper cover removed. Once at a secondhand shop the owner bragged that she had lots of copies of Action Comics #1, but were FFF. Hope she hung onto them though because they now have some value even as reprints
