What's the movie genre called that mixes historical settings and modern comedy? (midwest.social)

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?

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.

Some may call me a hero.

Personally I think I just have bad taste in movies.
