I mean movies that are just like regular modern comedy movies but take place in a historical setting. Some examples include “The Little Hours” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” Furthermore, does anybody have any more examples of movies like these?

I mean, did you just make up that term? Or is that an actual genre comedy?
I don’t disagree that your term is adequately descriptive, I’m just curious as to whether that is a known name for this genre of comedy. I’m not trying to argue here.

Depending on your definition of modern, History of the World Part 1 is great.

“Johnny Dangerously” came to mind once.

Examples:
- Black Knight (2001)
- arguably, A Knight’s Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
- All of the Ice Age films I guess
- Year One (2009)
there’s actually tons of these.
