Question: Why does Pepe say "Okay" at the End of Most Sentences?
“Why does Pepe say ‘okay’ at the end of most sentences?”
Pepe may be one of my favorite characters ever. I’m constantly in fits of laughter by him, and I think Bill Barretta does a phenomenal job with him. But one thing I’ve always thought was a bit odd is when Pepe says "okay" at the end of his sentences. Is it a nervous tick? Is it a habit that he can’t quite kick, like that nasty "singing" habit Ke$ha has that the world wishes she’d get rid of? Okay, so that was a weird comparison... I really hate Ke$ha.
I love Pepe though; I once based a character in a little improvised Drama class play on Pepe, named, imaginatively, Pepe Okay. I can’t remember what happened in it, but I remember wearing a fedora. Now, some may blame his weird speech tick on his Spanish accent, but Rosita doesn’t have it. Does she? I haven’t seen a Rosita sketch in a while. Let me YouTube that... She does not.
So why does he say "okay"? Well, I can’t answer that yet, because I haven’t had an answer. But rest assured, I’m going after one from some people who I should think would know, okay? Oh man, now I’m doing it, okay?
I’m going to stop now before I am doing this forever okay? DARN IT!
I’ll be seeing you soon, okay? Here on the Muppens Mindset, okay?
