Maybe, but to me it doesn't work any better as sarcasm. Petey just did it and would probably do it again. If the other person can respond very reasonably, "OK, I'll do that," any sarcasm isn't going to be very effective. He'd have to be so ridiculously stupid that he doesn't know that Petey could do it.
