The 80s had just a tonne of comedy adjacent movies, too. Sort of funny, but really just a straight forward movie with humor, like Midnight Run or Beverly Hills Cop.
Trying to explain the Triple Lindy to someone is probably funnier than actually watching a movie about it.

I'll just note that after a recent rewatch, Stripes has NOT aged well at all, and was a bit painful to get through. The mud wrestling scene and the two female MPs that immediately jump into bed with the main guys is very cringy to watch now
