Of course it's fair. If there's one genre on Earth that can be judged in hindsight, it's comedy. If you've seen it before it's probably not going to be as funny as the first time, and since everything about Some Like It Hot is now old hat, it is now unfunny. However good it might have been back in the day is irrelevant.
