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?

If we're including television I'm disappointed that nobody mentioned Blackadder.

If not, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
