* Mel Brooks' ''History of The World Part I'' (1981) makes fun of, among other things, the Dawn of Man by showing cavemen breaking their own feet to make "music" from the resulting screams and creating the first [[homosexual marriage]], the [[Old Testament]]'s [[Moses]] bringing of the [[Ten Commandments]] to the Israelites by literally breaking the extra five, many sex jokes and a mockery of the [[Last Supper]] in its [[Roman Empire]] segment, mockery of the sufferings of [[Jews]] in its [[Spanish Inquisition]] segment and shows France's King Louis XVI (played by Brooks) in its [[French Revolution]] segment using real humans as skeet targets for his target practice games, while hypocritically saying, "I detest violence".

Later sitcom entries ''Married With Children'', ''Roseanne'' and ''The Simpsons'' (latter is still running over 25 years on) are also full of such humor.
