i seem to remember someone's mouth opening up like a puppet, viewed from the side, and a little cartoon mole (like the animal, maybe wearing glasses?) burrows out from one of his teeth (maybe holding a drill or a hammer?), before getting smashed with a hammer and exploding into ribbons of blood. i say "ribbons" because i remember it being animated with paper, with janky movements, kinda like early south park. i guess south park being the source can't technically be ruled out (maybe i was randomly flipping through channels), but my parents were extremely diligent in making sure i didn't watch adult cartoons.
although south park is unlikely, it is possible that it wasn't actually nick or nicktoons. between the two, i would definitely guess nicktoons, since it's always been the "edgier" channel, but me and my gf scoured a shit ton of old bumpers from both channels and couldn't find it. although, most of the compilations we found on youtube were just random assortments, and it wasn't among the individually-uploaded ones either. we did find a series of nicktoons bumpers from the mid-2000s that we both actually did remember, in which the animation kinda resembles that style of janky paper animation, but with a heavier focus on using photography. these bumpers did get a bit unexpectedly graphic sometimes, such as a mosquito getting crushed and exploding into a splatter of blood, but the animation style doesn't quite match my memories. plus, since these bumpers were airing all the time, i likely would've seen them more than once, and i definitely didn't see the mole thing more than once. i don't remember what show i was watching, but like i said, it might not've been nick at all. the only other channels i watched frequently at that age were cartoon network and disney channel, and i very highly doubt it was disney channel lol. however, we had plenty of other cartoon channels as well, like 4kids, fox kids, jetix, pbs kids, and probably a couple other oddball channels, so technically it could've come from anywhere. i don't distinctly remember seeing a nick or nicktoons logo, but something just tells me that's what channel i was watching.
i remember seeing it on tv when i was a little kid, and it made me start bawling my eyes out and my mom had to come in and see what was wrong. this was before we had DVR, so there was no way to rewind and show my mom what i had seen. for reference, i'm currently 23 and i'm absolutely horrible with remembering what age i was when certain memories happened, but i must've been old enough to be watching something other than toddler shows on nick jr., so maybe like 5-7? which i guess would place it somewhere in the early-to-mid-2000s. i guess it could also be from the 90s because it might be possible that it was an old bumper they were running. thanks in advance for any leads!
