Have you seen Young Frankenstein?
I don't know if I'd liken History of the World moments to old Disney cartoons. Maybe parts like Dom DeLuise as a fat, over-indulged Caesar, but not much else. There are some corny gags, but others tend to win me over (the black prisoner trying to win over the guards, him catching the eye of the horny queen, her choosing her royal assistants to the orgy, etc.). It's uneven, but it's good enough, and I think hits home more frequently to me than Men in Tights.
Ninja edit: We can definitely agree on Ren & Stimpy. Nothing beats creepy and decrepit and long-winded old men.
