What's the most recent Comedy that would be a legitimate all time classic?

There have been plenty of good comedies the over the last few years but are there any that will be viewed in the same category or level as the classic old comedies?
Like Blazing Saddles or Harlem Nights just to name a couple?

Probably not because once something is deemed really funny, then it becomes cool to hate on it. We live in an age of hipsters.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall or Old School maybe

My gut reaction was Anchorman. But I agree with Super Troopers.

I doubt they will be classics but the last two great comedies I saw were A Serious Man and In the Loop.

Anchorman
Wedding Crashers
Old School
Super Troopers
The Hangover
Meet the Parents (I've never laughed harder in a movie theater on a first viewing of a comedy than for Meet the Parents)
40 Year Old Virgin
ETA: I see Cokes hating on Idiocracy, but that movie still makes me laugh pretty damn hard.

Don't know if it would be considered a "comedy" in the true sense of the word, but I would cast a vote for Rushmore.

Man that was a classic. Where would you guys categorize the move "Life"? That movie also goes into one of my all time funniest movies.
With that said, it takes a lot for me to really consider a comedy a classic. For me, a movie is either an instant classic or a complete swing and miss.
I would put the Hang Over in there with classics of the past few years and maybe even SuperBad (if that meets the "last few years" category). Outside of that, I am usually disappointed with most comedies.
