That's a really interesting topic! I like "scavenger hunts" like these, finding bits and pieces about a certain subject, even though one quickly tends to see patterns emerge where there are none.
I don't really want to read almost 70 pages, so chances are the things I list may have been mentioned somewhere before - perhaps even multiple times. As many on here certainly know and a lot of the examples in here show, animation, no matter whether it's for kids or adults, is chock-full of jokes about potty emergencies and accidents, diapers and teen/adult babies.
As @Ceras mentioned further above, The Fairly Odd Parents probably is one of the top contenders in that regard, even for a Nickelodeon series, which, for some reason, are already very prone to do that. Besides the examples they already mentioned and off the top of my head:
An offhand anime example that may not have been mentioned before would be Abenobashi Mahō Shotengai, in which the two protagonists, Sasshi and Arumi, are travelling through alternate universes, containing surreal variations of their home town and its inhabitants. One of these is something like a cartoonish prehistoric world ruled by a dominatrix version of Sasshi's sister, with their father being one of her underlings, wearing nothing but a diaper (with a butt flap, for whatever reason).
That's all for now.

- Timmy's dad ripped off his own clothes while having a nervous breakdown once, leaving him in nothing but a diaper and running away crying, with Timmy even wondering since when he was wearing it.
- Cupid and the New Year's Kid were also wearing diapers all the time despite seemingly being adult men and a ton of gags revolved around that very fact.
- Some old town story revolved around a heroic goat that saved a bunch of kids from "a collapsing daycare" and "then changed their diapers", despite most of the kids on the picture shown during it looking like they were around the age of Timmy and his classmates.
- Another episode had Timmy's dad become an astronaut after a medley of job changes, with a running gag about him and a trained monkey regularly peeing/soiling their space suit, which are known to contain a Maximum Absorbency Garment (MAG, i.e. ... a diaper), which is signalled by a beeping sound each time.
- There are several generic stores that are repeatedly spotted in the background throughout the series, one of them being a "Diaper Shop". If I'm not mistaken, it can even briefly be seen in one of the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour crossover specials in one of the scenes set in Dimmsdale.
