Aight, get ready for something that sounds like a baaaad lost episode creepypasta.
So, I've been searching for a series of Halloween bumpers from 2011 that aired on Nicktoons. They were called "Nicktoons Gets Zombified," and basically would include disturbing, Dead Bart-esque imagery of Nicktoons characters either laughing maniacally (distorted and all with creepy ominous music) or groaning in what sounded like physical pain. Also constant cuts in and out during the bumps, old grey damaged film FX, and the "Nicktoons" logo designed to be all scuffed up with the words "ZOMBIFIED" underneath, with a narrator reading over it. I distinctly remember these bumpers scarring me when I was 10 (not even single digit age), and hiding underneath my blanket whenever they would come on. Callback to the lost episode creepypasta comparison - they were something straight out of a Trollpasta entry, except they existed.
If my memory serves me right, there were 4 bumpers:
- A SpongeBob SquarePants bump with "zombified" SpongeBob and Patrick laughing maniacally. I think they were chanting out the word "jellyfishing."
- A Mighty Bee bump of "zombified" Bessie walking down a hallway and laughing/talking the same way Sponge and Pat did. What stuck out to me is how she didn't have her glasses, yet her eyes actually had grotesque detail instead of her usual pin-prick black eyes. She was also chanting out "Happy" (her dog in-show).
- A Fairly Odd Parents bump. This one I remember the most - same "zombified" format but with Cosmo and Wanda. Cosmo's chanting out the word "wishes," his jaw falls off after the "Nicktoons Zombified" branding title towards the end.
- A Fanboy and Chum Chum bump. I remember this one probably the least, but it does exist.
I do remember them being posted onto YouTube at SOME point. At least the Mighty Bee and SpongeBob ones. People on Reddit have also made some posts, but to no avail:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nickelodeon/comments/l5loou/actual_lost_nicktoons_halloween_shorts_20092010/
I do know they were also hosted on the official Nicktoons website at one point.
It's particularly weird to me because I know damn well some were on YouTube, and I did come across a low-quality screencap of the Mighty Bee one years ago. Now it's almost as if there's no trace, I can't even find a single screenshot.
Please help me out here.
