Credit jokes appear in a lot of the Zucker/Abrahams movies... They're in Airplane! 1 & 2, and also in the 2 Hot Shots! movies.

People who acted in the movie

then lines from the movie and the names of the people who said them

"Hey! It's Enrico Pallazo!"

And by the 2nd film:

People who didn't have lines but we like them anyway:

I liked it when they credited people according to the one or two lines they said. They may not have matched up, but that was cute. And the People who didn't have lines, etc. is funny because most of those people worked behind the scenes, like David Zucker, Robert Weiss, etc.

All the films by the ZAZ team do that. Look at Airplane!, Top Secret!, all Naked Guns, and the two Hot Shots! That makes it even more fun. By the way, in the third film, where it says, "Mr. Newborn's Really Sexy Cousin...Amanda", that was put in not by Ira, but by the producers. What happened was during the filming, she was visiting Ira and sort of entertained David and Robert with sexual movements so they put her name in as a joke. They didn't use her last name to keep her more anonymous.
