Does pop culture seem to have a cliche of associating classical music with humor?

A fair example of classical music and humor would be the "Sabre Dance" by Aram Khachaturian. I'm quite sure this is used a lot in pop culture when a humorous or chaotic event happens.It's probably because of it's fast tempo, instrumentation and catchy melody. Sabre Dance is used a lot in "The Simpsons" when a humorous and fast-paced event happens.I'm pretty sure that "Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2" is also used quite a lot in cartoons when a humorous event happens.
 
I also think it's due largely to cartoons, both Warner Brothers AND Disney, though I think the actual intent was to either add "culture" to kiddie fare or maybe the more pragmatic goal of keeping down production costs. Classical music is public domain so you don't have to pay the fees for creating and using it you would with original score music.

The net effect though is that hearing certain classical pieces is likely to conjure images of Elmer Fudd in a Viking helmet or dancing hippopotami in tutus in the minds of the public at large.
 
Pop culture Doesn't seem to have any classical music cliche associated with humor.

The William Tell Overture signifies a fast cavalry ride.
The Dance of the Knights signifies strife.
Toccata and Fugue in d minor signifies vampires, ghosts, and other cryptozoological entities.
Thus Spake Zarathustra signifies outer space.
Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet signifies romance.
Canon in D signifies familial warmth.
O Fortuna signifies prophesy.

But I can't think of any classical music symbol for humor.
