You know, I just think it might. AKA Cult Toons, I found an episode called "The Phantom Menace", it had everything I described! Solved! Thank you.
Book me today! I also review weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.
I only saw part of one episode in a hotel room, about 25 years ago, so details are going to be sketchy. I think it may have been on the Cartoon Network.
The show was spliced together from various cartoons and shows, in a style which we would nowadays call a youtube-poop, cutting rapidly between clips to set up silly jokes. Hannah Barbera cartoons, in particular The Perils of Penelope Pitstop, were used, but also clips from WCW wrestling. The episode I saw featured a clip of one wrestler mentioning the song "Rap is Crap", which puts it after 1999.
The episode featured Penelope Pitstop, tied up, being rushed backwards and forwards by the Ant Hill Mob who are simultaneously rescuing and endangering her. I can remember specific quotes:
"I have a plan that's fool proof!" [cut] "SO WHAT?!"
"I have a new song, it goes-" [cut] "-RAP IS CRAP!"
"The plan is called-" [cut] "RUNAWAY STEAMROLLER!"
etc
