Pepe the King Prawn first appeared in Muppets Tonight in 1996 and quickly became a fan favorite due to his thick Spanish accent, four arms, and signature catchphrase 'okay.' Unlike many Muppets who are humble, Pepe is known for his massive ego and constant reminders that he is a king prawn, not a shrimp. In meme culture, Pepe is the go-to character for expressing confidence, sass, or telling others off with a flamboyant flair. His expressive face and hand gestures make him the perfect reaction image for highlighting dramatic realizations or delivering sharp-tongued wit to any 'shrimps' who don't understand the king prawn lifestyle.
