I haven't seen any of the pre-Caligari films so I don't know how much comedy they had in them. Even Caligari could come across as unintentionally funny to a modern audience though!
As an aside about this, I saw a YouTube video a while back about the first film with a twist. I think they said it was a Orson Welles film and was surprised they left out Caligari, but that was probably because they weren't aware of it.
