I often hear students saying "very very very good" or "very very delicious" when they're trying to show strong feelings about something. Usually, native English speakers use another word for that kind of case. Often, these strong words are called "ungradeable adjectives", since you don't use "very" with them. They're strong enough, even without "very". Here are a few:
very very very good -> great, awesome, spectacular
very very very good (tasting) -> delicious, delectable, mouth-watering
very very very funny-> hilarious, gut-busting
very very very interesting-> intriguing, enthralling, spellbinding
very very very exciting-> exhilirating, jaw-dropping, thrilling
