Okay, I'll give you Young Frankenstein. For the most part, that has genuine comedy (though it too has a few insufferably bad puns dotted throughout it, also that "hills are alive with the sound of music" thing was kinda stupid).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
