Maybe the show was popular enough that the writers were able to get away with it? You look at half the stuff SpongeBob got away with…
The marketing for the movie was clever: showing all these shorts that while not featured in the movie definitely helped introduce you to both the characters and the world beforehand, especially the Calling All Aliens ones that acted as a direct lead-in to the movie.
I remember those shorts being played on YTV between shows and one of the shows it played between, funny enough, was Dexter's Laboratory.
(Gotta love Canada, where both a Nick and Cartoon Network show could be on the same channel, although most CN shows were aired on Teletoon with the exception of Dexter's Lab, PPG, and Samurai Jack. And Home Movies if we count Adult Swim)
ETA: I just remembered Home Movies WAS on Teletoon after YTV stopped airing it.

"COCONUTS HAVE WATER IN THEM!"Yeah, there were a shitton of episodes that were just utterly bonkers.
The writing was fairly clever though. I remember one episode where Sheen kept asking Jimmy things like "Why don't we need space helmets when we're in space?" and Jimmy gives an explanation, only for it to cut to Carl singing, so we don't actually hear it.
Man, this show. It's a lot of fun, and way more clever imo than the show it's often pitted against to this day.
Another thing that holds up surprisingly well I find was the animation. Sure, the model and texture work is kind of primitive, but the actual animation itself is so lively and expressive. Not bad for a studio that would apparently have frequent power outages.
Forum signature.WB was the one who released Ant Bully and Universal. Speaking of which, that was DNA?
Never saw Planet Sheen. Want to get into it, but heard it was really bad though.
I was rewatching certain episodes recently and there's so much to appreciate about Jimmy for President and how it deals with the underhanded tactics in political races (Libby condoning Cindy's bribery; Sheen committing extortion; Jimmy using emotional blackmail as well as running an extremely flashy and overly extravagant campaign to draw people in—and with all that, Bolbi being the humble outlier winning by default haha).
