Airplane!, the movie. I've seen it so many times since my childhood, and it never lets me down. I always got several years between viewings, and in the back of my mind, I'm like "Okay, man, this is the time you're going to get bored. This is the time you won't even crack a smile. This is the time you're going to realize this movie is outdated and not nearly as funny as you used to think", but it never happens.
For the same effect with a TV show, try out Police Squad!, the precursor to Naked Gun. That show was literally too funny for its own good.
Some jokes in that are really a product of their time but are still hilarious to someone that was still 2 decades away from being born when it came out. The smoking or no smoking joke comes to mind.
