Films like StarWars and BladeRunner are distant future fantasy. Incorporating things like the force and sentient machines. Films like Interstellar are intended to be grounded in reality, much more like Contact and others in the genre. They are not the same thing. I don't expect a Guardians of the Galaxy to be scientifically accurate... And I didn't expect interstellar to be funny. Perhaps you are right. If you look at interstellar as a comedy it does do a nice job of making fun of science. Perhaps it fits more neatly in the scifi genre where you'd find Idiocracy. As unintentional comedy this film did have me laughing at the plot several times.
