Why does Pepe end his sentences with "okay"?

[SillyRed]

Why does he do that? Do any of u know?

 

[monkeymuppet]

I'm probably going to screw the story up but...

Pepe is based on Bill's wife's aunt and she always talked like that.
I think.

 

[WiGgY]

He ends his sentences with ok because it's funny, ok?

The full explanation is in the interview with Bill Baretta on the Muppet Central web site. I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

"Buiiiiiiiillllld iiiiiiit, and we will coooooooooome!"
"Build what?"
"A jacuuuuuuuziiiiiiiiii, okaaaaaaaaay?"

Actually, it's:
"Build what?"
"Build a jacuzi, and we will come, okaaay?"
"I'm up, I'm up! Must build jacuzi!"
Sorry, I just had to correct you, but I like your nice loooong words, lol. Yeah, Pepe says okaaay because it's very funny!

 

[Beauregard]

It's not even that funny, ok?

It just give him his caracter, ok?

It wouldn't feel right if he ended his senteces with right, right?

Or yes, yes?

Build a jacuzi and we will come, yes?

Build a jacuzi and we will come, right?

Monkeymuppet has the correct answer per Bill Baretta at MuppetFest.

He's insecure and is constantly seeking affirmation of his statements. Okay?
