I have not heard of Clang Invasion. It definitely gives off typical ‘2000s Canadian Flash cartoon’ vibes that a lot of these forgotten shows often are.
Anyways, back in the 2000s/early 2010s Nicktoons used to air a lot of imported stuff as filler instead of actual Nicktoons. (Nowadays they don’t even do that. Seriously, the modern Nicktoons schedule is horrific.) Someone already mentioned The Secret Show but there was also Corneil & Bernie which starred an intelligent, snobby dog with a British accent and had to keep his smarts a secret so he could continue to be spoiled by his owners.
And then there were the shows that were produced specifically for Nicktoons rather than being imports. Kappa Mikey is definitely a time capsule of how Americans (or westerners in general) viewed anime in the 2000s, for better or worse.
Disney XD could also get weird sometimes. A holdover from Jetix was Yin Yang Yo!, which ran at the exact same time as the creator’s other show, Wow Wow Wubbzy!. Both shows also had similar art styles and had pink rabbits as characters.
Imports (mostly Canadian) were also common on that channel. I certainly remember Kid vs Kat, but I think Jimmy Two-Shoes was more interesting if only for the backstory behind its creation rather than the show itself.
