I recognize that description and can tell you it also aired in the Netherlands during the 90s, can't remember the name though

Thanks for the info. It's good to know it wasn't a local thing. Maybe more people can help.

It was a series of shorts that were aired in Fox Kids' commercial breaks. The intro despicted a monkey spitting (the spit is colored green, by the way) in a mad scientist's face and running away from his creepy lab. Then he shows up on some kids' (brother and sister, if I recall correctly) house and they adopt him, while hiding him from their parents. The episodes themselves had little, maybe nothing to do with the mad scientist - they were mainly about the boy, the girl and the monkey doing some shenanigans. The humor was a little crude, with a lot of spitting from the monkey, when he got scared or angry. I also remember he said some words here and there, but he didn't really talk as the human characters. The only episode I remember is the one in which the boy is angry because he has a pimple on his forehead. His sister tells him not to try to pop it up or it will only get bigger, but he insists in doing so, in front of a mirror. The pimple grows to ridiculous proportions and pops, throwing pus everywhere. The monkey laughs at the boy, who gets back at him by squeezing his pimple again, shooting pus on the monkey. The monkey strikes back by spitting on the boy and I guess the episode ends with them shooting pus and spit in each other. Other than that, I think that the show's title is the monkey's name, but I'm not that sure.
Edit: I considered they may have aired those shorts only in Latin America, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
