Bad Qualities, Okay

1. Like Miss Piggy, he is just full of himself and is very egotistical, but unlike Miss Piggy which makes her personality funny, Pepe's personality makes him annoying.
2. He usually ends his sentences with "okay", which might be funny at first, but it gets on your nerves quickly.
3. His design is ugly and unappealing, since he has big eyes, a large mouth, and a tooth on his lower jaw which looks more like a speck of food rather than a tooth.
4. His voice can get really annoying at times, especially with Topo Sticky.
5. He is also shown to do several gross stuff such as farting in some Muppet movie bloopers such as in Muppets in Space where he farts in Rizzo's face.
6. He is usually shown making fun of the other muppets such as Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo.
7. He can act like a major jerk sometimes.
8. While he is unique for having four arms unlike other muppets, he is usually shown using only two arms rather than four which is a wasted opportunity.
9. He also acts like a pervert and is shown hitting on several women that he meets and tries to ask them to go on a date with him.

Good Qualities, Okay

1. There are some people who like him.
2. Like all the other muppets, he has several funny moments.
3. He doesn't always act like a selfish jerk and there were times where he cares about the other muppets and is very good friends with Gonzo, Rizzo and especially Seymour.
4. He did improve a bit in later Muppet productions like Muppets Haunted Mansion.
5. "I am not a shrimp, I am a king prawn, okay?"
6. Despite being annoying, Bill Barretta does a good job puppetring and voicing him.
