Albert Robertson, also known as Fat Albert, is the main protagonist of the Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids franchise. He is the leader of the de-facto Junkyard gang and lead alto (by default) of the Junkyard Band.
Why He Rocks
- Civic-minded and wise beyond his years, Fat Albert works hard to maintain integrity in the gang and with others,
- He is one of few representing African-American cartoon characters on television that is also the protagonist.
- If anyone has a problem, he helps them by being an all-around good guy and civil person.
- He prides in the virtues of being honest, not bullying, and not stealing.
- He's pretty athletically inclined for someone his weight.
- He is an amazing singer and musician, being the lead singer as well as bagpipe-accordian (made from a funnel, radiator and an airbag) player in the Junkyard Band and on occasion, plays the bedspring.
- Bill Cosby did an excellent job voicing him and Kenan Thompson did a great performance portraying him in the 2004 live-action movie.
The Only Bad Quality
- He tends to be a hypocrite, warning his friends about the dangers of junk food despite his eating addiction, although his point still stands.
Trivia
