That's a short from the "What a Cartoon!" show, and is simply called "Gramps". It's available on Youtube here
.
(Also, didn't realize Butch Hartman was involved in it. Actually, there's probably a lot of names from that show I'd only recognize now.)

It was on cartoon network, an i only think it was ever picked up for a full series, it had an old man with one of those oxygen pumps in his nose, and he is telling 2 kids(maybe his grandkids? i dont remember) about one time when he saved the world from aliens. at one point he describes the president as a voluptuos blonde, and the kids call him out on it. at one point, he has to get weapons from the overnment, and he has to make a gameshow-style decision between 2 doors to get weapons. he chooses the wrong door and gets a mule(or mayhaps a donkey), but still defeats the aliens somehow
