I think a lot of Mel Brooks and Zucker comedies (Naked Gun et. al.) have aged pretty well with their absurd and physical comedy although they can definitely fall flat sometimes.

Christmas Vacation also comes to mind. I think everyone can still relate to the holiday family dynamic.

Even older can still be good - thinking like His Girl Friday style screwball comedies, or Desk Set, Some Like it Hot etc. They still work as comedy, you'll laugh, but they may also require a bit more cultural context to really enjoy, or interest in the period/fashion.

    There’s some joke in Naked Gun that are pretty sexist (forgetting the one with OJ)

    Have some examples? I wouldn't be surprised but the last time I watched I didn't hear anything that I considered problematic. Admittedly, I'm willing to forgive a lot of generalization when characters are walking caricatures and say crazy shit regularly.
