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?
Anachronistic Comedy? Blazing Saddles is one, if ye think about it…
If we’re including television I’m disappointed that nobody mentioned Blackadder.
If not, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
“The Death of Stalin” is perhaps similar to what you’re thinking of, basically about the shenanigans with in the Kremlin fallowing Stalin’s death.
I mean, I guess the term might just be “historical comedy”
“Our Flag Means Death” seems like a solid example
Anachronism?
Anachronism means something else, especially with respect to movies.
The Death of Stalin is great.
Depending on your definition of modern, History of the World Part 1 is great.

I have watched it, very nice show.
You may appreciate “miracle workers” the first season is set in modern times (kinda) but each other season is set in a different historical setting.
