Right now there are one hundred eleven Strong Bad Emails. I think it would be very difficult to classify all 111 into either "too short" or "too long" (or "neither", for that matter).

Why do you think they are too short, ak1knight?

I thought the one this week was a little short. But in general, I would agree with Jones.

Most older ones (probably before email 30*) are too short. The most recent ones are also too short. The others are just right.

*note: I just picked 30 as a number. I don't know what email 30 is.

I think the emails are an ok length, i mean, they could be longer, and on a few of them, Strong Bad doesnt really seem to answer the question in the right way, like the 'just for kids email

I dunno. I would like some of 'haircut' length, but if you stretch them on for too long it stops bring as funny.

They're fine. If they get the joke done in 1 minute, then the email is 1 minute. Simple as that.

I think all emails are just the right length to get the point across. If, sometimes, TBC want to add a few more jokes than normal, or maybe take out unnescesarry ones, they will add on or cut off. Simple as that!

I chose neither, because I think the recent ones are just right! I mean, too short? Too short? You think e-mails dangeresque 3 and flashback are short? Whoever chose that is crazy! (No offense) And why is "too long" a bad thing? In my opinion, they are long enough!

Because some people have slow internet connections? When I had 56k, it took forever to load even the shorter ones.

At the moment, I would say they're neither too long or too short. Around four to six minutes or so is exactly where they need to be. Enough to satisfy us more than those short, thirty-second dealies they used to do, but not too much to digest at one time.

In general, Strong Bad Emails are neither. They're not too short, and they're not too long. They're just right. However, I do feel that some of the newer emails have been getting a bit lengthy. To cram more chills, thrills, and spills into each email, the Borthers Chaps have been extending the lengths of their latest emails. The emails are great, don't get me wrong, but they tend to disrupt the updating schedule. I liked the good ol' days, when you could count on a new Sbemail every week. Now emails arrive every once and again. Sometimes short and sweet is best.

But hey, I'm just sayin'.

Too short: whenever I watch a new sbemail, there's always a jittery sense of confusion as things move faster than my mind can process them. Besides, what's the harm in making such fun last longer?

Jonathan, when you get selected to be a Mod, you can start correcting our users on stuff like this. Until then, STFU and let us handle it.
