Fat Albert
Fat Albert (originally voiced by Bill Cosby, later played by Kenan Thompson) is the leader and conscience of the Junkyard Gang. Though obese, he enjoys playing sports, not to mention a mean bagpipe-accordion cobbled together with a funnel, radiator, and airbag.
Cliff Huxtable
One name is synonymous with ugly sweater: Cosby. On the Cosby Show, Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby) immortalized the ugly sweater, taking it beyond anything we’ve seen before or since. The nice thing about these crazy patterns is that no one would ever notice if you got Jell-O pudding on them.
