Black Adder and Galaxy Quest come to mind.

Really any time the comedy is from the writer being witty and the content isn't inherently dated (laugh tracks, for instance, make many older shows pretty rough) the show will hold up. Austin Powers is inherently dated due to just being based on old James Bond stuffs + the jokes are rarely witty and are instead just "potty humor."

Also most of the movies mentioned. Super Troopers will never fail to get a laugh out of me but I don't think many people still hold it in high regard.

Idk, Im not particularly sensitive and despise everything about Tumblr, but stand up that goes so hard on homophobic slurs doesnt really do it for me. Theres some funny stuff mixed in, but idk if it balances out the bad stuff for me personally.

Dr. Strangelove never stops being relevant despite being released in 1964.

Some other pre-90s goodies :
After Hours (one character drops the f slur but I don't think she's supposed to be a particularly good person anyway)
Tampopo
Young Frankenstein
City Lights
The Princess Bride

Who wouldve guessed how funny George C. Scott was. One of my all time favorite flicks.

I just watched Kung Fu Hustle againjust as funny as ever.

It was my favorite film for most of my life until it was bumped by Phantom Thread a few years ago.

Scott wanted to play the part more serious. Kubrick would beat him in chess in exchange for more animated, funny takes, but told Scott that he wouldn't use them. Obviously he used them and Scott was so mad he said he would never work with Kubrick again.

Slim Pickins had no idea that the film was even a comedy.
