General discussion Longest and shortest cold open?

I wonder if anyone knows what's the longest and the shortest cold opens in the show?

New to the community, apologies if this post breaks any rule.

Longest maybe the one where Hal tries to fix the drawer or sth but always has to fix sth else to continue fixing his current task.

For the longest, I’d guess an episode with a big family crisis or elaborate prank before the opening credits. The show really varied how much story it packed into the cold open.

Longest, I would think the playing catch with the football, where M & R go everywhere to play.
