The episode is essentially a non-canon "experiment" as Bill and Josh call it. It's not meant to take place within the normal realms of the show. It just wasn't executed very well. If it had been narrated in a similar way to "The Springfield Files" with someone like Leonard Nimoy 'hosting' it, it would have worked at better.
