It's an episode of Captain Star "Day of the Zooties": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4IjfIuqmw4

There was this old cartoon I saw back in the 90s, I think it was a series. One episode had some sort of brain washing of the characters that was happening via a carpet that was taking over. People were checked out (brainwashed) and they kept repeating the word "shampoo" as they shampooed the carpet, that I believe was a yellowish color, as it gradually overtook the landscape. I have this inside joke with my family about it, but would love to try to find more info with this hopelessly vague description.
