The "funny bone" or crazy bone along the inside of the elbow is on the path of the ulnar nerve.
If you hit the internal condyle of the humerus (upper arm bone), a sharp stinging or tingling sensation will occur along the ulnar nerve, sometimes accompanied by a numb feeling in the lower arm.

What bone is called the ''funny bone''?
The "funny bone" is not one bone, but the inside joint of the elbow where the upper and lower arm bones are connected. If you hit the sensitive inside of the elbow, it is not "funny" except in the sense that it feels odd or peculiar. You are actually compressing the ulnar nerve that runs down the arm.The "funny bone" is the extension of the humerus bone (upper arm bone) into the elbow joint with the ulna (larger forearm bone). At the inside of the elbow, the ulnar nerve is located where the olecranon, or upper end of the ulna , meets the epicondyle, or lower end of the humerus. If the joint is struck, there is a tingling (a funny or odd sensation) and sometimes a temporary numbness in the lower arm, because the signals along the ulnar nerve are interrupted.This has little to do with the name of the upper arm bone being the humerus (humorous), which is the Latin word for "shoulder."(see related question)
