Or retroscripted or something

Like isnt it visually recycled SeaLab 2020 but the audio is rescripted/retroscripted for comedic effect

Fascinating series

It is, yes, at least the first season. They spliced together existing footage with some minor edits as necessary (e.g. lipsyncing, position edits) and dubbed it to make something new. That kept the show cheap since the animation costs were almost nothing.

It wasn't the only Cartoon Network/Adult Swim series to use that approach either: Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast used a lot of recycled animation from the original Space Ghost, though mostly in the form of individual characters edited over/into new backgrounds and animations (e.g. the set of the show).

    Wasnt SeaLab 2020 only 1 season tho? Wouldnt SeaLab 2021 have had to fill in its 4 season extension past that 1st season with newly produced content far exceeding the formers episode count?

    I should clarify: they didn't just redub the episodes and otherwise leave them unchanged, they took scenes from a bunch of different episodes of 2020 to make each episode of 2021. As the seasons went on they added more and more original animation
