After asking my previous question, I felt the opposite was only natural.

The shortest episode I've ever seen is a 20-second episode of Inferno Cop: Fact File.

If the entire video fits in a TikTok I'm not sure I can call it an episode.

There is a whole anime series made for TikTok. Here is an article about it. I haven't watched it to check the runtimes, but they have to be pretty short.

@wjs018 @tgirlschierke If it helps, most episode are less than a minute in length!

AND the episodes are available on a streaming service, so I'd say these count tbh.

Petting a dog is pretty short, but I don't think it's sub 20s
