I didn't realize that Gene Wilder directed Grumpy Old Men, but I agree.

If this were held today, which high finishers drop way down on the list? I'd guess Annie Hall, Lebowsky, Rushmore, Superbad, South Park.... what moves up, and what newcomers make the list?

I don't think the backlash against Lebowski has really grown since 2012?

Lady Bird is the only new comedy that I'd be confident would place reasonably high. What might get a look in:

Booksmart
Crazy Rich Asians
The Death of Stalin
The Favourite
Hail, Caesar
Hunt for the Wildepeople
Inside Llewyn Davis
Knives Out
Spy

Don't know how much support it would get, but Appropriate Behaviour is easily the best post-2012 comedy I've seen.
