I'm not familiar with them really... Other than they get rolled out around Xmas time. My earliest similar were the carry on franchise.... Sid James laugh....

Ealing comedies ran from 47 to 58

But there were other films around that period and later reflecting the British humour

Carry on certainly took over the mantle from Ealing during late 50’s

Beat me to it, for me the best of the bunch but a close second is ‘Kind Hearts and Coronets’ Alec Guinness playing all of the Family’s parts

I have got Kind Hearts And Coronets as part of a box set, but I haven't watched it yet. And the one about the man with the suit that never gets dirty, unless that's the same one?

But I think I've just decided what I'm doing in Saturday night

An Ealing comedy I've seen on Talking Pictures TV several times recently is a satirical attack on television called Meet Mr Lucifer (1953). Mildly amusing, until it gets to a section featuring Gordon Jackson who, in a skit about a lonely bloke becoming obsessed with a singer (Kay Kendall) off the telly, unexpectedly reveals himself as an unsung comic genius.

Not an Ealing comedy, but Laughter in Paradise (1951) with Alistair Sim, George Cole and Fay Compton is one Ealing fans will enjoy.
