That isn't the case, the episode was produced as a regular episode and was intended to be aired on television. There isn't much need to speculate on something like this when we already know the truth.
Oh……
When would it have taken place in the series if I may ask?
I think so, but I wonder like what episode would come before or after it.
And the even bigger question is: What was the cast and crew smoking when they made that episode, because now I kinda want some…
It was originally shown at an animation festival on February 21st 1998 so if I had to guess i'd say it was supposed to air after "Aye Aye-Eyes/Dee-Dee and the Man" and before "Old Flame/Don't Be a Hero/My Favorite Martian"

I see. Tbh, rude removal is actually the only episode of the show I’ve ever seen. I’ve never watched the actual show.

You definitely should, it's a pretty fun show, it's available free on Amazon.

What a shame! Dexter's Laboratory was definitely an important and thoughtfully made series, and one of the best Cartoon Cartoons. The style and tone Genndy Tartakovsky brought to the show is timeless and not quite like anything else.
Avoid the Chris Savino seasons. Just don't bother looking into them.

I think those seasons have some funny episodes like Sis-Tem Error and Bad Cable Manners, though I can understand why people would want to avoid them in light of Savino's creepy behavior.

B.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operations. Not only did I have no idea they never decided on an ending, but an art book that I found online, which I thought was real, turned out to be fake.
Alright, I’m done having a childish fit. I thought I finally did something useful man, and then it turned out the book is either out of stock, or not available yet.
The Spongebob PSP commercial. I heard LSSQ said that he thought it was a tie-in commercial of Sackboy and Spongebob. But we instead got two frames of Spongebob's hand and gameplay of LBP. Still my favorite piece of found media but could've been better

I feel like the only reason that episode is controversial is because they used the traditional TV beep censor (that and the title card, ofc). Think about it, Sailor Mouth from SpongeBob is the same exact concept but with dolphin noises instead of traditional beeps. I personally think the connotation of the dolphin noises helped that episode stay on the air compared to the connotation of hearing that style of TV beep on Cartoon Network. A parent walking in on Rude Removal would be the same as a parent walking in on a swear-filled scene from Family Guy, even if both scenes are about the same in terms of juvenility in the humor.

I think it's cause the Dexter's Lab episode was way more obvious about what the swears were then the Spongebob episode was, like it's pretty easy to determine what the swear in "we're going to "bleep" up your lab!" is supposed to be, especially since the Arthur episode "Bleep" used bleeping and it didn't get completely banned from ever airing(though some affiliates would choose not to rerun it in later years). Also Family Guy isn't meant for kids.
Yeah, although the episodes would have been produced years apart and totally independently of each other, it's easy to point to Sailor Mouth as doing what Rude Removal was attempting to do, but in a way that could actually air on TV.
It really was sort of the wild west of the channel back then. Cartoon Network didn't start getting insane ratings until Dragon Ball Z caught on in 1999, so Turner executives kind of just let them do whatever they wanted as far as I can tell. The channel had a low budget for a long time. When that episode was being produced, Cartoon Network shows as a whole were kinda boundary-pushing and riding up against that line of being a bit much for kids. There's several other instances of shows or moments being censored, in Dexter's Lab itself an early episode had the word "crap" cut from later reruns because it was determined to be too much for the TV-G rating.
In that context, I understand why they made the episode, and why they even thought it would make air. Cartoon Network was kind of a hip channel, they would air kind of offbeat things and like I said, pushed some boundaries. But when it came time to really pull the trigger, they realized it was just too far. "Sailor Mouth" works because it's brilliantly written, clever, and makes the censorship by itself funny with the dolphin noises. Little little kids will laugh, older kids will laugh, adults will laugh, but each in kind of a different way. "Rude Removal" is pretty blunt, they're saying real swears in the way people would really use them, and just censoring them how any other show would do it.
It's easy for us to look back and say 'how did they ever think this would air/this is so crazy there's no way this was made to air on television' but the creatives working on CN projects had this kind of cavalier attitude, and so did the higher-ups when it came to the kind of stuff they greenlit. This is the station that produced entire shows for 'annoying blonde guy hits on women and they don't like it' and a show with The Devil as one of its main characters.
