Between September–December 2001, the Jimmy Neutron movie was being advertised on Nickelodeon in a very unique way; Jimmy, and sometimes Goddard would interrupt reruns of episodes of shows on Nick at completely random times. Such interruptions made a brief return during April Fools' Day 2002 and June 29, 2002, presumably to promote the TV show. Due to its spontaneity, a lot of these broadcast interruptions are now lost. However, a few have been found, including one where Jimmy and Goddard play "fetch" with the Nick.com "leaf". Here is a video of them interacting with the logo:
