Overview
Pepe is Spanish/ Mexican (his full name is Pepino Rodrigo Serrano Gonzales) and speaks with a heavy accent, punctuating his sentences with "Okay?" His character plays on many Latino stereotypes: he has a fiery temper (especially when referred to as a "shrimp"), and thinks of himself as a lothario, often making suggestive remarks, for example when he appeared on The Bonnie Hunt Show to promote his book and A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa.
Pepe is also a schemer, willing to betray or at least take advantage of his friends: he allied with Ms. Bitterman in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and works with Rizzo to trick Gonzo into building a Jacuzzi in Muppets From Space. His conscience usually wins out and makes him do what's right in the end.
