Would it benefit from a 22 minute runtime?

Ehh...the screaming loud gimmick of the episode might get incredibly stale by 22 minutes. They can barely keep a plot alive for 11.

11 minutes is perfect for this sort of cartoon and animation is hard enough, i wouldn't want them to double their workload.

As a special occasion thing? Yes. Charliea Dies And Doesn't Come Back would've benefited from being 22 min.
As a regular format? Fuck no.

I think it would benefit from SHORTER episodes, honestly. You know, like keeping it to shorts and shit like that. Most comedy doesn't benefit from dragging itself out, so they should stick to a length that will let them keep the pace up for the good gags and cut the stuff that sucks. I think cutting it down by about 11 minutes should hit that mark.

Not 22, more like 15. It just feels very rushed. Fastest 10 minutes of my life, especially third episode right now, it seems to be going downhill slowly. Like there is still value there, but just goes away too fast. Like the clients are taken care of incredibly fast, it didnt feel like that in past two seasons.

What would happen is the regular episode pace we get is the same but with more cuts. It would just be an a plot
On the other half would be a b plot that is ultimately filler about the guys at the office doing something boring and domestic like how the other 22 minute adult animated shows stretch their plots
We’d get episodes about the boss, Allan, and Glep fixing a shingle, trying out a new tomato sauce, or doing a slow motion race

If they did the Beavis and Butthead approach it'd work. Two episodes back to back, possibly with a common theme or notable thing differentiating the two episodes.

What more could have happened in the mole episode to satisfy you? It would have just dragged on and on if it was 20+ minutes.
Smiling Friends isn't structured for a 20 min runtime.

Yeah but we at least get 2 segments a week like in the good old days of cartoons.
