I'm guessing this is おもしろく (interestingly) with either って=は or って=と. I've
never seen an adverb used as a topic before, but it doesn't really seem to
work as a quote marker either. Can anyone shed some light here? Thanks.

question
grammar て-form i-adjectives gemination particle-って
Adverb followed by って
It's probably a grammatical error. It's supposed to be おもしろくて but this person
added the っ in before the て, because of a simple grammatical error, or to make
an emphatic connotation, like "it's soooo interesting".

The standard form is おもしろくて仕方ない, where おもしろくて is used as an adjective (not
adverb) in the [て-form for connecting
predicates](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/3439/%E3%81%84adjective-
difference-between-%E3%81%8F%E3%81%A6-and-%E3%81%8F "いAdjective. difference
between くて and く").

> (て-form adjective) + 仕方ない

or

> (たい-form verb in て-form) + 仕方ない

is a common phrase that means “It's so (adjective)” or “I really want to
(verb)”. The nuance of this 仕方ない is “I can't stand it”, but it's not to be
taken literally, just like when someone says “My homework is so hard it's
_killing me_ ”.

### Examples

  * 眠くて{ねむくて}仕方ない _I'm so sleepy_
  * 彼女はかわいくて仕方ない _She's so cute_
  * 不思議{ふしぎ}で仕方ない _It's so strange_
  * 虫がうるさくて仕方ない _The bugs are so noisy_
  * 帰りたくて仕方ない _I really want to go home_

The `っ` can be inserted in the `くて` for emphatic effect: かわいくて→かわいくって,
うるさくて→うるさくって, etc.
